My Computer--Very Slow to Populate with Harddrives

[Guest W. Watson]

I've rebooted my XP Pro machine several times today thinking that the

slowness of My Computer was caused by something to do with my Pogo

RadioYourWay Tivo-like radio. It sort of looks like a Ipod, and has a USB

port that allows me to download (or upload) to it's HD. However, I do not

believe I've plugged it in during the latest boot. I just tried My Computer,

and it's window is showing little signs of life. Any idea what may be

causing this? If I bring other windows up, it produces their contents, and

easily lets me operate within them.

 

I can see now that after maybe two minutes it is populated. It's peeking out

from behind another window, but if click on it to move it forward, the

unexposed part is blank. I did remove some programs from Start->All Programs

earlier. In task mgr, Idle is showing 4:25:34 and increasing each second.

Well, turning it off for about 30 or more minutes seems to have worked

wonders. The Pogo problem was easily solved, and had nothing to do with the

windows behavior.
