601833 2007-10-15 19:26:00 I have a strange problem
Recently I have had to reinstall XP and it has a glitch.

I turn my screensaver on every night and leave the computer running, when I used to do it when my computer was full of stuff and running well I had no problem I clicked apply and ok and the response from the window was instant.

Now I click apply and there is a good 2 second delay during that time the window information semi-disappears then it comes right and ok is available to click.

Now this doesn't seem a big deal but I am worried its systematic of something larger and since I use it every night it is rather annoying.

Any ideas?

601837 2007-10-15 21:26:00 Again fully up to date
My drivers are 98% complete according to driverguide.com where I have an account.

The 2% is cause if you know driverguide you have probably never seen a 100%

Its not something as simple as updates or drivers, I am sure everything I have is exactally the same as I had in the last install

Driveragent offer 2 download options
1 - their own mirrors
2 - the official sites

I always choose 2

I have no ? in my system and all drivers are up-to-date.

601840 2007-10-15 23:27:00 Just a thought - you have you got something like Google or some other desktop search installed. ? wainuitech (129)
601841 2007-10-15 23:57:00 No
After the reinstall all I have is office 2003 and a couple of games, the system is very bare.
