Desktop LAG problem -

[goodweb]

I run an AMD 800 with 512 meg PC133 SDRAM using NT4, sp5 as the OS. My video card is a RIVA128 with current drivers.

Everytime I minimize a window to the taskbar to display the desktop, it lags for about 5 seconds before it performs the task. All other functions on this machine operate normally and without problems.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the fix?

thanks!

Its being caused by some software you installed. Wvery time you try to minimise that software is activated to do specific tasks, but in reality its not doing it.

Have you installed any utility tools such as Norton 2000. Any anti virus software. Go to add remove programms, try to remove all unnessary applications, such as scanner software etc. If the problem is gone, then re install each software one at a time.

Hope this helps

Are you attached to an NT Server or stand alone?

Well.. first of all, it is a NT4 Server.. I am now under the impression that the problem is caused by the priority given to the gui by the OS.. server functions high... gui low.. thus the lag in minimizing at the desktop.. does this seem like a reasonable explanation?
