Pegasus,
if you don t have anything more intelligent to add to this problem, please
stay out of it.
You dont know much. I Have used MS since MS DOS ver 2.0 and I use my PC
daily 365 days/year at lest 8 hrs every day.
I know how "clients" use their computers, it is running the whole day for
maybe 5 minutes of work. I use one keyboard and one mouse every year and I
really use it as long as possible.
I tell you that this new version of XP is shit and have cause me a lot of
problem.
I am installing it right now on another disk, no other program and no
internet connections so the damn thing is without AV, firewall and everything
but the problem is still there. So, stop defend useless MS.
They make shit and they shall have shit for it.

Other program makers have support. They give something back for the moneyI
have paid. Microsoft dont care about the users.

The swapfile is not cleared after file manager have used it.
*** What makes you think so?
File manager cause memory problem both in RAM and swap file.
*** What makes you think so?
It shows by I need to reboot computer every 15 minutes as XP pro stops to
respond.
*** Your Windows installation is damaged. You should save

I have a new computer without reset button. Latest ver of XP pro + latest
updates.
I have a clean install with firewall and AV + Ad aware and Spybot.
*** I bet your PC will work perfectly after the reload. The problems
*** may start after you install other programs.
So, system is clean. Explorer dont work as it should and have been aproblem
in all versions of Windows.
*** Not true. My clients run dozens of Windows XP machines.
*** They have no problem at all with Explorer.
If I try to mark one file or folder, several or all files/folders aremarked.
What I have marked may change at the same moment I press the key to moveor
erase files.will
This have cost me a lot of damage.
Usually there is no much problem to erase less than 600 files but more
take up more and more of the swapfile until it reach around 2.5 GB and XP
freeze to ice.
*** Just for fun I created 2000 files, then deleted them out of
*** Explorer. No problem at all.
But problem starts long before XP have frosen to ice.version
Other programs are not affected as long Windows is running.
Other programs have no I/O problems to the same disk at the same time.
I have suspected conection and driver problems for the SATA disk but as
other program use the disk without problems there is no disk problem.
Its only Explorer that is a problem and it has been well know in all
of Windows but the latest seems to definitively be the worse of all.
Only Explorer is affected by this.
I need a replacement for Windows Explorer if anyone have suggestions.
It take too loooong time to erase file with file manager.
*** It took my old slow machine 30 seconds to erase 2000 files.
I have noticed that Zilla shred can overwrite files 3 times and do thismuch
faster than file manager can erase the same files and Zilla dont mess withthis
memory as Explorer does.
I mark the files. Wait some minutes for this to be visible. Right click to
get drop down menu what to do with the files. I can wait 30 minutes for
menu and I often need to retry several times.
*** It took me 3 seconds to mark my 2000 files, plus 10 seconds
*** when pressing Shift+Del to delete them permanently, or 30
*** seconds when pressing just Delete.
I manage to mark erase or cut for moving the files. Wait and wait. It may
work after 30 minutes but usually not.
This damn XP is not a OS, it worse tham a virus.
*** It's your installation that's the problem, not Windows.
Microsoft have never been able to make an OS and will never be.
*** So why do you use Windows?
Instead of support they deny every problem.
*** How can Microsoft help you if your machine gets
*** damaged by third party products?
Explorer cause "errores in file system" this shows as corrupt or emty, 0
byte files.
Files and folders that cannot be erased or moved. Acces denied.
This have cost me more than 200 GB of data.
It very expensive to use an OS that cannot be trusted.
*** Then you should use something else.
