Framework Problem

[pendragon]

Hi

 

I have a strange problem that has been bugging me since we got .Net at work and decided to see if any one else has come across it.

 

We have desktops with Windows 2000 that connect to a Novel server. The problem is, when you right-click or try to delete an item on the desktop it takes between 15-30 seconds to perform the action.

 

This happens on both my machine that has VS.NET and the machines that only have the framework on them.

 

Anyone got any ideas on this.

 

Thanks

I had that problem at work before I installed .Net.

 

I was running XP Pro with 512mb of ram and I was trying to work at the speed I do at home:

 

Select, delete, enter, gone.

 

Well now it was select, delete, enter, opening files, error trying to delete open files, once files are open close them, then try again more slowly.

Thanks for the reply Denaes but thats not what I am getting, I select a file then press delete and 20 seconds later it asks if I want to send the item to the recycle bin.

 

Its just weird

I had the same problem with Win2K.... After contacting Microsoft, I found that it was caused by a virus. MS has some patches for W2K that'll fix it up quick.

Oh, wow. Yeah, it sounds like the same proboblem, only mine was more acute... maybe a second or 3, not 20.

Did microsoft say which virus it was as all our machines have an anti-virus system on them that is updated at least once a week if not more often when big virus's come out. All of the machines also have SP4 on them and are updated with microsoft patches when they come out.

No, but the patch was one of their 5 top downloads...seems like a lot of machines got hit. Give them a call.
