move and copies are freezing
I have been a Salamander power user for a long time now .... Just today I started getting a simuar issue. All that I have done was to install patches via autopatcher (very recent install of XP on new HD). Worked fine for the last serval days. Now copying and moving files within Salamander will freeze the system for a few seconds the action only seems to complete the "file move" after I have waited for about 10 second the pressing "ctrl-alt-del" to bring up the task manager. Moving / Copying files via explorer does not exibit the freeze of delay. Here is some info about my machine:
AMD FX-55 on ABIT MB (NVIDIA CHIP SET)
2GB CAS 2 RAM | NVIDIA 7600GS
WindowsXP SP2
NOD32 AV (problem existes when disabled)
NVIDIA Firewall installed but not active
Let me know if you need any other information about my system.

yes I did.
I have now completely uninstalled IE7 and Nod32 then removed all other HDD from system part of troubleshooting. The problem still exists. Copying out of SS via zip file is still fast but moving at file system level causes the freeze. I will update this thread if I ever figure it out.

I made the test in Virtual PC.
So this was a clean XP (fresh install), nothing resident, default video drivers, etc.
I installed SP2, still wortking fine.
I installed IE7 (downloaded separately, not from Windows Update).
And I have this delay problem. But less often than on my other PCs. I would say 1 operation out of 15 or 20, instead of 1 out of 3.
And it seems to occur mostly on delete (shift+del, i.e. without using recycle bin) rather than on copy/move.

I confirm very same behaviour. And I have another tip - I have also MS Virtual PC installed and mapped one directory on physical disk as a virtual drive so maybe this can be causing problems too (but I doubt so many users will have VPC installed).antp wrote:And it seems to occur mostly on delete (shift+del, i.e. without using recycle bin) rather than on copy/move.
But if the delay problem si caused by disk driver, cache (late writing) etc and you have Virtual PC installed on the PC which has this problem itself it may affect Virtual PC too and thus testing in VPC will not prove anything?

I don't know if my post will be any help, but I have IE7, VirtualPC as well as VMWare installed on my computer. I haven't noticed any delays on my computer and not even on my virtual VMWare hosted machine.
As I tested other minor bug reported in Czech part of the forum I tested this one as well on:
- real Windows XP SP2 + IE7 machine (VirtualPC 2004 installed, but currently unused)
- real Windows XP SP2 + IE6 notebook (no VirtualPC)
- VMWared WindowsXP SP2 + IE7 + Office 12 + WMP 11
- real Windows Vista final machine
no delay before copy/delete operations on any of these machines
To be exact, there was a small delay when working with large number of files - the delay was caused by Salamander enumerating the files. On the second run (when results ware cached by system?) the delay disappeared.
