kycolonel42276
I have a Dell 8200, Windows 2000 Professional - 80 Gig harddrive, 512 mg memory which has been having lots of little glitch problems for a long time. I'm using it as a stand alone computer, not networked, no server, etc.

Opening & Savings files takes forever

kycolonel42276
What could cause opening a file or saving a file, plus other simple tasks, to take several minutes? I have a Dell 8200, 80 Gig harddrive, 512 memory. Lots of harddrive, lots of memory, no problems there but my computer just takes forever to perform simple tasks.

Christianb
Hi Alec, Thanks for the post. I'm sure DK users will appreciate that. I personally don't have a DK license so it's much a-do about nothing for me. Although I was just thinking earlier today about what a load of crap it is that Norton Calls their 2001-2002 (possibly 2003) scandisk product Norton Disk Doctor.

What does Office Application Start Do? OSA.exe

Christianb
Hi Gang, I have removed an OSA. exe from my startup. I recall in the past having problems with office without it, but currently everything seems to be working fine. This isn't that stupid program that searches for Office documents when you're system is idle is it? Thanks, Christian Blackburn.
