My Computer (drives recognition)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

When I click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop I get an hourglass and
it searches FOREVER-meaning I could go to dinner and then come back, and it's
still working on it-but eventually it does come up suceessfully and
recognizes all my drives properly. What could be causing this severely slow
condition? -It never did this before. All the drives (A:, C:, etc.) that I
click on from there work properly w. no problems.

Frustrated

I had a flaky cdrw drive do that when I had a disk in. Have you
checked for virus, spyware, adware and trojans lately?
If not then try these websites.

Right click on My Computer and select Manage. Then look at Event
Viewer.
