Re: Explorer slow to find drives after Cameras installed


Ramesh

Thank you

Have tried the fixes as suggested by Microsoft. Unfortunately, the only fix
of use - terminating WIA services is not possible as it is already terminated.

I have just posted to the error logs, and it appears that WIA is terminating
unexpectedly, which may be the error. The question is, why is WIA terminating
or failing to start?

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
