I am running Windows XP SP 1 with Norton AV 2004, both up to date. The PC
it's on gives more than satisfactory performance in general.
However, doing a File | Save As for even a small image in either IE or OE
can take 2 minutes or longer!!!!! (I gave up counting after 30
seconds:-((( CPU usage goes to 100% and appears to be entirely in the
appropriate program. The system does not lock up. I can fire up free cell
and get a game completed before the program comes back
The IE cache is clean and limited to 40 MB. I've got java 1.4.2 and two
shockwave in downloaded program files. (The list on the PC that is ok is
much larger.) The list of helper programs (from BHODaemon) is satisfactory.
Disabling did nothing.
Other file movement processes scream. Even things like moving email to
folders in OE performs very satisfactorily. (The hard drives involved are
doing DMA.)
Other similarly configured PC's in my network do not have this problem.
Unfortunately i do all my image saving on the PC with the problem!!!!
The list of running programs is clean and all accounted for. (No adware,
Helper programs etc.)
I'm connected to the net using DSL. But these are pictures that I am viewing
so presumably they are already in the cache.
Page File and Physical memory are plenty big. This PC only runs OE and
occasionally IE.
Suggestions please. I'm at a complete loss and did not see much in the
archive that would be helpful. Where is IE / OE spending all its time. (By
the way this has been a problem long enough that I can't suggest any
particular historical associations.)
Would registry comparisons between the PC's make sense? If so which pieces?
Regards,
Al
