Delay When Browsing 1800+ Files HELP!!!! (didn't do it in win98) ?? ..
i have a bunch of small files stored on my server .... i just recently upgraded my entire network to windows XP ... now whenever i try to access my files there is a delay .... quite a few seconds ... i think the problem is that the files are very small from 50k to 120k and there 1800+ files... the way i am getting to them is trough wordperfect i hit open .. and LAGG .... another thing that causes the same lag is if i make a "toolbar" down on the windows taskbar and point it to that folder .. i get the same lag ... now i have tried almost everything i turned off indexing services .... i made it to where the pc isn't looking for any sceduled tasks ... and still LAGG ... i can't figure out what to chang to get the directory to open without lagg ... now i know it has to be some kind of windows XP setting because like i said the enitire network "WAS" windows 98 .. now it's XP .... and gotten slower?? any suggestions?
