Well I used to like XP. For 5 days straight it did nothing but impress me. But lately it has started being a whiney little *****. It takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R to do simple things like bring up the little menu when you right click a file. A few times i click on a file to delete it. I click the file once then hit the delete key..........................30 seconds later the little are you sure box comes up. thats unacceptable. I am use to being able to hit delete then enter rapidly to delete a file in like 1 sec. It also does it when opening programs. You click it and 30 - 45 seconds later it decides to get off its *** and do something. It doesn't do it everytime, but i would say 1-2 out of 5 times i do something it lags. All I have running in the background is Zona Alarm, AIM, and Mirc sometimes. If anyone has suggestions or similar problems I would love to hear them. I didn't have any BS like this in 2K.
