All,

Here's the #1 problem I have with WINXP, plaguing me even as I type this message. Whenever I copy/move large volumes of files my system slows to a crawl, with no apparent reason. Running Azureus, eDonkey and two FlashFXP sessions I'm still only using 4-20 percent of my processor load; however, even typing this I'm several seconds behind, switching IE windows is slow, menus take forever to launch/pop into view, and I can't use my file manager at all as it won't let me select any items for the duration of the copy/move. What's up with this? I'm using an AMD64 3200+ with 1 GB of Crucial PC3200 RAM, so this shouldn't be happening. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

On a side note, I once saw a "power move" software program that was supposed to accelerate the move process. I haven't been able to find it again, does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks much in advance,

torataka

Edit - I shoud say that even when I'm not running other programs WINXP is still slow at copy/move. Perhaps not to the same extreme, but just as annoying.
