Thanks Neil
Not yet as it is not Camera specific. It happens with a Canon EOS SLR, with
a JVC DV camcorder and with a Logitech QuickCam. All by different
manufacturers.
I tried removing all the camera installation files installed by Canon, and
the problem persists. I guess I should contact them anyway to see if they
have received similar problems.
I have tried the fix previously suggested to people with a similar problem
at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm line 157 to disable the
automatic refresh but to no avail.
I have watched the problem develop. I can install a Camera and watch as the
Device is recognised and the drivers are installed. Explorer still works.
Just as the process nears completion is when I lose Explorer's ability to
recognise the drives quickly.

After connceting any camera device, including via USB or Firewire, Windows
Explorer takes an exceedingly long time to locate the drives. The
flashlight
icon searches for up to 1-2 minutes before the drives on 'My Computer' are
displayed. Removing the device does not correct the problem. The problem
also
occurs when trying to locate files from within a program ,such as Word
etc.
It seems as though it is trying to refresh or searching for the drives
again
each time it is opened.
This problem does not occur when :
Using the Network Explorer 'My Network Places', including opening a drive
on
the same computer that is shared
Booting Windows in Safe mode
Before a camera or Video is connected.
When other devices, such as external drives or PCI cards are conncected
A System Restore to a time before the connnection solves the problem, but
the camera is no longer installed! Scanner and Camera Wizard appears to
take
a long time to open. I am wondering if there is a problem with this
program
that is altering a system file?
I am running XP Home SP2, recieve regular updates and AVG Antivirus.
The Registry has been cleaned
Any Ideas appreciated
