Mozilla takes an age to maximize

[authenticate]

If I restore/maximize Mozilla from its minimized/background state it takes almost 5 seconds to display. This is on XP but on NT 4 it is instantaneous. Why is this happening when both machines have the same amount of RAM and the NT 4 machine has a much slower cpu? Other applications on the XP machine however are fine.

First off what version of mozilla are you running?

It's instantaneous here. No problems at all. I'm running XP Pro.

My NT 4 machine is running 1.3b build id: 2003012108 and I wonder if this is the difference?

Well I am running on 1.3a and it seems to be ok. Have you uninstalled and and reinstalled it yet? If not I would try that.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled on both machines and the situation is the same.

I have discovered one thing though. It is only when I click on the application in the task bar that mozilla takes a long time to display. This is even when mozilla is already the foreground application but as another window. However, using alt-tab gives an immediate response!

Any ideas anyone?

Found it! The cause is the "NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager" which I had enabled sometime back. Disabling it has removed the delay when clicking on the minimized mozilla applications.

Thats great to know you got it fixed.
