Hello. I just did a fresh install of XP Pro, and then I installed SP2 right after. Everything is fine, except that my Windows Explorer utility is having problems. I have two physical Hard Drives and the second HD has two Partitions. In Windows Explorer, when I click on the left hand pane, to see the last partition of the second HD, Drive G:\, Windows Explorer takes a significant time to show the contents of Drive G:\-about 2-3 minutes. And if I click on Windows Explorer while it hangs, it crashes and takes down Explorer.exe as well (thought, after a few seconds I return to a normal desktop.) But if I wait it out, eventually G: drive contents shows up but, I have to wait way TOO Long!
But this problem doesn't occur if I use 'My Computer' icon on the desktop. I can click on G:\ drive w/o any problems. And if I'm in Windows Explorer and I first click on My Computer first, and then click on the G:\ drive icon on the RIGHT side pane, no problems. Only when I click on G:\ drive on the left do I get issues. BTW, I first tried out SP2 after I upgraded from a XP install with SP1a and I never had this problem. Only after the fresh XP install?
Anyone have any ideas of what I can try to do to fix this? Thanks a million
