hi
I have problems opening the My Computer icon to see my
folders and drives. It takes forever. I got some advices
from this forum before but it didn't work. Everytime I
click on it it just shows a flashlight and take forever
to open. All my other icons,(my document, control panel
etc...), open properly and fast. I have no virus. Plenty
of free space on my drive. Can I have some advice on what
to do or try?
 
Hi Rich,

When you click Start and then click My Computer, or when you double-click My
Computer on your Windows desktop, Windows may search (a flashlight may
appear) for a long time (for example, 5 minutes) before files appear.

Disable the Windows Image Acquisition service.

[If this does not help, uninstall 821557 hotfix from Add/Remove Programs]
