I noticed that both my desktop & folder icons initially pop-up on the sceen rather slowly when I first bring them up. However, a week ago I installed the latest driver for my Stealth II video card & the icons started appearing INSTANTLY on my desktop when I booted & when I opened a new folder. But since installing the "Sin" game demo (now uninstalled) last night, they've gone back to appearing slowly again. I can hear the HDD being accessed, whereas before when they appeared instantly it wasn't. My hard drive is an Ultra DMA-type & I'm running a K6-2 cpu so I know my system is plenty fast enough. Is there a solution for this admittedly minor but annoying problem? I have my home system configured as a "network server" in control panel & I use a permanent swap file (160 MB). Best, Joe remove -stopspam- to reply
