| 495337 | 2006-10-30 23:54:00 | Anything that would make Taskbar Icons take an age to finish appearing? No new ones, minimal number, no malware, didn't use to do it. And cause someone will ask anyway: Zone ALarm AVG Sound Ghost Security None are new versions, all were there for ages, its only recently they take ages.... |

| 495343 | 2006-10-31 09:23:00 | Yes. Its a Seagate. You have a lot of faith in Seagate aye? I don't trust any hard drive brand but do prefer Seagate over all the rest. Their hard drive testing software is the best and easiest to use too :thumbs: I think Jen is on the right track. Even running HijackThis might show up something. |

Not to say you never get a dead one but the least of all current HDDs. I've got him to do that, remove them one at a time to see if one is delaying things. Nope. Of course you have the whole lot off its not a problem. But individually they don't seem to be hogging things. Thats why I've posted this query - beats me....... |
