| vista ultimate | Vista startup eating up a 1G netcard for 3 hours When I start up my Vista Ultimate system, I have it auto logging in to my account. It maps, with drive letters, 7 NAS drive shares on a BuffaloTech 4T NAS unit. The problem is, the 'system' process eats 20-30% of my 1G network card for 3+ hours, talking to my NAS unit!!!! What is it doing? Enclosed is a picture from my Computer Management screen showing huge network I/O that goes on for hours, literally. Is Vista scanning the mapeed drives as local drives? I do NOT see these listed in the index drive screens, so it isn't that. |

Hmmm...No I haven't. Didn't even know it existed. Since it seems to have loaded up entire drives, it is probably it. I will turn it off and delete the 'offline' files Thanks! -edit- Yes, that was it. It was offline copying over 60GIG of data off the Network drive. I shut it off and rebooted. Problem gone. Last edited by philhu; 07-22-2008 at 01:12 PM.. |

It can be a usefull feature in some circumstances, good to hear to solved the NAS network issue though...  Steven Last edited by dmex; 07-22-2008 at 11:34 PM.. |
