Here is my situation.
I just put together a new computer (Quad Core QX6700, 2GB Corsair Dominator RAM, WD Raptor, eVGA 680i MB, eVGA 8800 GTX GPU).
I installed Windows XP Pro. Booted up for the first time and noticed that when I close a window Windows hangs up. I would say probably about 75% of the time my systems hangs for about 5 to 15 seconds when I close a window. The other 25% everything works fine.
The whole task bar at the bottom is frozen including the start button but I am able to click around on the desktop. When it "revives itself" it usually catches up with itself and makes the clicks that I tried to make when it was hung up.
If I had to guess I would think maybe it's Windows explorer, but i'm not sure what to try. I have already reinstalled Windows once and that didn't fix the problem...(unless it's a driver that I installed afterwards).
Any other thoughts on what it might be that is causing this?
Thanks in advance.
