can't browse file 1

[ahau]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me.

It happen when i was in a word document or excel or any applications and was trying to open another document by going file - open, then the open file dialog pops up, then i clicked on "Look in" the combobox, it took about 20 seconds to drop down the list for me to browse and it took a while to go to the location i selected.

The weird thing is that if i disable the LAN connection, there is no problem of this at all.

Has anyone experienced this before? how do i get around this problem?

Thank you in advance

Thanks Linney! I'd been putting up with the slow browsing for a couple of months now. I just never found the time to troubleshoot it.

Cheers.
