.jpg files slow to open

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



When logged on locally to a Windows 2003 machine it takes 5-10 seconds to
open a .jpg and display the preview using the picture/fax viewer. Once it
is open I can use the arrow keys to flip through other files at normal
speed, it is only the initial opening that is slow.

Watching in task manager I see that explorer.exe CPU shoots up to the 40-60%
range as it works to open the file then drops back down to normal.

I am troubleshooting another machine (Vista) that is having the exact same
slow-to-open problem (when opening .jpg files stored on this server) which
is what brought me to notice that the server itself can't open the files
quickly.

Oddly, machines running XP have no performance issues opening these files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
