Guest JimG Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 My home desktop (2ghz Core Duo, 1gb ram) runs 2003 Server (mainly so I can use TS when traveling). It's a recent re-install of Standard Edition Sp2 and was working great. Suddenly (I'm sure I had something to do with it), certain functions have become very slow. Several examples: Invoking IE6 displays a partially built window for 15 seconds before loading my home page. It's a lattice-work of blue lines with the previous screen contents showing through during the pause. Invoking Eudora7 takes about the same time. Most other applications start up immediately. One peculiar one is that if I cut/paste between applications, the paste takes the same 15 seconds, during which time interaction is frozen. There are no events logged during the pause, and the task manager shows the System Idle Process running at 99%. Where can I look to figure out what's happening?
