FS 2004-"Create a Flight" change screens are slow to load.

When I click to make changes in "Create a Flight", it
takes forever for the new windows to pop up. For
example, when I click to change selected aircraft, it may
take up to 10 seconds for the next window to open. This
is a newly built computer with Athlon XP 2200 and 512kb
ram. Game is loaded on hard drive. When I try this on
my other computer, the screens load within a second.

Were all drivers updated on this newly built computer? Is that 10
seconds wait showing the HD busy all the time? If yes a driver or some
settings might be wrong slowing down the disk operations... Or did you
install many aircraft add-ons? Did you ever defrag the drive?
