I've got a problem here that I can't figure out. Sometime within the
last month, some application or update has caused my computer to
temporarily hang upon "Save As" operations within a variety of
applications (i.e. Word, Excel, Winzip).
Upon selecting "Save As" the application sits there in a frozen state
while the CPU jumps to near 100% for a good 10-15 seconds upon which
the save dialog pops up and everything is back to normal. This only
happens the first time -- successive saves for new/existing documents
work fine. If I exit the application and re-select "Save As", the
same thing happens again.
This computer (win2k) is networked only to the Internet via router and
one wireless notebook. The wireless has a share on this computer but
there are no mapped drives going from this computer. This
configuration has not changed in months -- in fact, there haven't been
any changes to the system at all. My thinking is possibly a Windows
update, Zone Alarm/AVG Update (I've tried disabling but no luck) has
caused this to happen. I'd like to know if there is any update I can
re-run which may resolve this.
Going forward, my only options appear to be a) live with it b)
re-format or c) wait for the next major Win2k update (if this will
happen).
Any suggestions are highly appreciated here.
