something checks my floppy everytime I....

[micha33]

Hi Gang,

Everythime I want to edit something (copy, delete, cut...) or if I am just right clicking to get proprties, I have to wait a 2-4 second while my floppy makes some noise. (I guess the system or OS are checking something).

any ideas ? it's slowing me down...

I am using Win 2000, no Anti virus.
Dell XPS R 400 PII, 256 MB RAM.

thanks

Mic

You might want to run a virus scan on there...

is microsoft office's findfast running? I seem to recall hearing at some point that findfast will access the A drive at unwanted times...sound right to anyone?

I run a virus scan many times before. now I removed my virus scan (Notron and after that McAfee) from my computer.

Look in your Start Menu and Documents and see if there are any documents there that are referenced for the A: drive.

If so clear the documents menu (right click task bar, properties, clear).
