Hi all,

I have XP Pro and when I attempt to create a new folder or delete mapped drives XP hangs for like 2 minutes plus and I never get to the point of creating the folder or deleting the mapped drives. The machine has plenty of ram like 256M or so. I did not find anything on Technet...any ideas?:confused:

Interesting problem, I have never had it before. It could be a bad driver, some software (like disc monitoring, AV, defrag?) or not enough RAM... Though I have had network issues, so maybe the network drive deletions may be caused by some network issue.

I will say, though, that "like 256MB or so" is not what I would consider "plenty" of RAM for XP. I'd call it "barely adequate" and I think 512MB is the minimum to be considered plenty. Sorry I can't be more helpful at the moment. Good luck.
