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.


Whether they open quickly in the viewer on the server really has
nothing to do with the way they behave over the network. I wouldn't
waste a lot of time on that - how often do you need to open JPEGs on
the server anyway? If the XP machines are working fine when accessing
the files from this server, then it clearly isn't the server. The
Vista PC is the issue - try using different software to open the
files. also check to see whether it's true for non JPEG files to rule
otu basic network connectivity problems between Vista and the server.
