I can?t fix this issue and it?s really pi**ing me off!!!
When I delete a large amount of files either from the recycle bin or directly (recycle bin turned off) Windows hangs.
The mouse still works but all screen updates just freeze. Then, after a long pause that varies in length from seconds to minutes, the whole system jumps back to life.
This happens on both windows 98 and ME.
Now, here is what I?ve tried:
Checked IRQs/resources ? no conflicts.
Tried installing windows 98 and ME fresh with all my cards removed.
Tried swapping UDMA cables.
Tried different hard drives one at a time on IDE 1.
Still I have this darn problem!! This never happened on my older computers. Anyone else have a similar issue?
Seems to me there is a subtle problem with Windows 9X and modern DDR motherboards as others have had this issue. Can't believe it's not a recognised problem, however you'll only notice this if you delete large numbers of files often.
Will updating my OS fix this problem?
