kukris Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Whenever I want to browse folders with large files of certain types like cab, it does take a longtime until I can access it.Can I turn this behaviour off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptMurphy Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 You can run checkdisk and defrag on your system in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bledd Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 probably AV and antispyware programs scanning the cab files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'm with bledd on this one. What security software are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kukris Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 No, I have all active guards like from antivirus software or spyware programs disabled.Also, the files are not that fragmented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Disabled, or uninstalled?They're all kernel-mode drivers, so having the user-mode portion disabled does nothing to disable the kernel drivers. Those load with the kernel, and as such are always enabled (even if unused by their application) unless uninstalled.If you do this from the command line in a command prompt (dir /a or something on said folder), do you experience any delays, or does the list scroll by very fast?

kukris Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 I have it disabled, which already helps a bit. I guess, it's because they are kernel-mode drivers.However, I don't have any delays in the command prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I had some kind of conflict with AVG free and Zone Alarm free causing problems with mainly my download of SP2 for XP. The computer would freeze for 1-2 min. I switched Avast free and haven't had any trouble since. This happened on 2 different computers.Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Ahh you said AVG Free... I had the same issue, when I right clicked my XP ISO to load it with Daemon tools it took foreverThe cause was AVG free fricking scaning the file when accessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) I also had freezes just scrolling through the folder SP2 was in. didn't matter if it was just the file or if I put it into it's own file folder. I found the Avast and it seems to work ok. I looked at Outpost firewall it looked like a lot of trouble to figure out. It was pretty aggrevating to figure out. I'd just partitioned my HD with Acronis so it did take me a while to get it sorted out. I had AVG give some false posatives in the copies of my XP disks too.Joe Edited March 24, 2007 by Joe K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
