If you go visit the Windows Update site, there were two fixes released a few weeks (month?) back that were supposed to address that issue. Try downloading them and see what happens.
Hello
I recently bought HP notebook(2GB RAM, 1.8GHz Centrino Duo) with Vista Home premium. I am facing following problems in file operations.
1. Whenever I copy, delete, move or rename a file, it takes about 1 min to do it. The dialog box keeps on saying,
"Calculating the time remaining" for about 1 min, irrespective of the file size. When I do these operations on
command prompt, everything is peeches, no probs.
2. I tried to extract a file from a rar archive. It performed the operation but I could not see the file. When
I tried again, it said the file exists, replace? I can only see the file when I open win rar, but not through
explorer or command prompt.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Raj
