| Vista x64 Ultimate | System mini-freezes on save/open dialogs I've been having some really annoying behaviour on my home machine running vista ultimate x64. My specs are: e8400, dfi p35 mobo, 4gb ram, 8800gtx, 4x 320gb in AHCI mode sometimes at random i'll get a system freeze for a few minutes when i use the file open/save dialogs, the dialogs appears empty no matter what folder i browse to and then explorer.exe freezes for a few minutes, all other applications continue to run perfectly, its almost as if explorer cant read a folder or something and locks up and then timesout before carry on. any idea what might be causing this? |

| | Re: System mini-freezes on save/open dialogs on a serious tone google "shellexview", download it run it as admin (by right clicking on its icon and selecting run as admin), and then disable some of the non microsoft shell extensions (pink in color) see if that helps "Coldon" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:92ebb14149f3b47a319f1d245d5b5020@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
