Windows Explorer Lag

[eric266]

While browsing though folders, about every 2nd folder I open there is some slight lag, maybe half a second, while other folders have zero lag. This is on my new computer, and didnt happen on my old pc (xp2400+, winxppro, 120gb 7200rpm). Anyone know why this is?

One thing out of the ordinary is there is a unknown device in device manager, which none of the drivers on the Asus cd picked up. The only pci device I have is a tv tuner, which works fine.

I also have some keyboard problems (Logitech basic ps2). In any game, sometimes I'll get stuck moving in one direction. I also get beeps while doing anything, even while typing this (once every 5-10 mins).

New pc:
e6300 @ 3ghz
P5B Deluxe non-wifi
2gb ram
320gb seagate 7200.10
winxppro

Something like Sysinternals Process Explorer may be able to help track down the Explorer problem. Just monitor it for anything that pops up during these slow periods. Of course it could simply be an Anti-Virus application or the like causing it.

Try removing the device and letting Windows look for the driver again.

Does the keyboard problem happen when you're pressing a lot of keys or seemingly at random?

After a lengthy search, disabling the plug and play service fixed it. The onboard audio is the problem. Now to see if it is a driver issue. Also the unknown device turned out to be the ATI t200 unified avstream driver, which didnt show at all with omega drivers, but now shows (though not able to start) with the cat 6.9 drivers.

New sound drivers have no effect, but if I disable the browsing sounds the delay goes away.
