This has been happening for a good week now, not really sure what could be connected to it, but here goes.
No matter what I'm loading, whether it's the pop out box in start menu to show my drives in my computer (roll mouse over to expand), or just in general loading up my documents from my desktop, or opening containing folder through utorrent. Does not matter WHAT I'm trying to open up.
When I have task manager and cpu usage open, it jumps from 0% to 11-15%, and the actual process of explorer.exe in the "processes" tab, jumps to the top of the list (under system idle process, but still makes a significant jump). Then of course it takes another 5 seconds JUST to open the thing.
I am on xp pro, SP2, with all the newest updates (the useful ones at least). I had IE7 RC1 installed, but uninstalled a few days later, so I'm back to 6.x)
What should I start looking at as far as problem areas? I formatted about 3 weeks ago, brand new install, on a 15k 8mb scsi drive. And it wasn't doing this when I first reinstalled. I only started a week or so ago (like I said).
Thanks
