Hi,
I have two OS on my system. One is Win2k and the other is Win2k Server. I have noticed that after I start my system…. If I go to My Computer and right Click on any of the drives there….it takes me 20-25 seconds after which it gives me the menu items.
This is also happening for CD-Rom drive too. I insert any CD and if have to explore it. I go to My computer and right click on the Cd-Rom drive. It takes 20-25 seconds only after which it gives me the options for that drive. Then after this if I immediately right again, it works well OK.
I have Sygate Personal firewall installed on my system.I have noticed in this firewall that during the time when I right click on any drives and when it is thinking. There is this application called “services.exe” which is continuously trying to braodcast a network packet (outbound) through the LAN connection.
This is happening very frequently. However, I have also checked my other operating system viz win2k serevr. And that has absolutely got no problems when I right click on any object.
I have tried logging in as adminstrator and also as some other user…everywhere it is the same.
But one thing here is If I get connected to internet (I have to put id and password to get connected to internet). then I ahve no issues at all. It starts working fine.
Could anybody please help me here.
Regards
Suresh
