Hi all I'm running vista classics theme with everything turned off (except clear type fonts) and I'm experiencing weird delay glitch when i open windows explorer, control panel, my computer, etc... it takes around 1 to 1.5 sec to fully open entire GUI window on those - so here is what happens first i see entire window frame then top address bar (windows breadcrumbs) then 0.5 sec to 1 sec later main content (everything else underneath navigation bar) appears - for this system and settings that i have i think this should be instant but it's not (same thing happens when i use vista aero) everything works just fine on my old laptop vista GUI even appears to be faster on my old laptop then new one - can you please point me out in the right direction how to address this issuer since i use windows explorer a lot. Please let me know if you need me to provide you with more info so you can help me out track the issue.

thanks much!

Install the latest video driver.

I did (got the latest nVidia driver from dell - I'm still experiencing the same delay / issue.

Any other ideas?
Thanks!
