computer porblem

[markman]

I have a gateway g6-233M, 233 mHz Intel II, 30 gigs, 96 RAM. Whenever my computer goes through loops that look at the computer information, such as when you add components to a vb project and it gets all .ocx's and .dll's, it takes a lonngggggggg time. Also when I click open with..., it takes forever also. Why and How to fix it? Someone told me something about the motherboard once...

Uhm... perhaps your 30freakingigs is full of stuffnjunk and is in need of a good defragging.

Defragging my 50gb with a REAL defragger (like Diskeeper, not that awful MS Defrag :p) sped it up so much :)

Its not the 30 gigs. I recently upgraded from 4 and it was doing it then too. It started when I upgraded to ME from '95. Doesnt happen to others though and I have all the new drivers
