Vista -deleting, moving and copying files
I have problems with deleting, moving and copying files regardles of the
type that iswhether graphic or text. I've to wait for about 30 seconds before it is deleted. The same in Recycle Bin as well. I click on to delete file a text box drops down it says "calculating time remaing" and after about 20 to 30 seconds finaly being deleted. The file can be as small as few kb or a few MB'c. I've never seen anyting like that? Does anyone can provide advice how to deal with it? Or anyone had this kind of experience? Please help? In Windows Mail the deleting files is as one may expect - normal. I've MS Vista Home Premium since march. And I'm not at all happy with many of its features, too much FLUFF for nothing! I'm seriously thinking of going back to either Win XP or Apple. Thanks Marian |

Vista -deleting, moving and copying files
Marian, try this:
During this 30 second wait, press CTRL-ALT-Delete, the screen should change, then click on "start task magager", then click on the "Processes" tab. Look at the CPU column. This column tells you the % of processing power each process is taking. Look for a process that is hogging the processor. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬■¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬ "Marian Pudek" wrote: I have problems with deleting, moving and copying files regardles of the type that iswhether graphic or text.

Vista -deleting, moving and copying files
Hi Paul,
This suggested approach looked promissing but no cigar! The CPU %'s didn't look much different from each other usually very low percentages in all cases, none stoodout as hogging the processor, perhaps I don't know what I'm looking at. Thanks for the effort in trying to help me. Marian Ps. Finaly came around to follow up on your advice --------------------------------- "Paul" wrote in message ...

Hmmm... The only other thing that I can recommend is to run the "event
viewer" as administrator and look at the application, security, system under the "Windows Logs". Look at the verious system messages, see if there is anything in there that doesn't seem right. ___________________________________ "Marian Pudek" wrote: Hi Paul, This suggested approach looked promissing but no cigar!
