Thanks for the response. I am running the detect and repair right now...I
can guarentee you that its not a RAM issue. First I have 1 GB of RAM on the
computer along with a very fast processor. The computer is literally less
than 2 weeks old fresh from Dell. There is no spyware as I run regular checks
for that with Microsoft Antispyware and McAfee VirusScan.
The problem isn't actually inserting the picture but switching folders. For
example if it starts in My documents and I want to insert something in "my
pictures" I would double click on it and it will take about 1 minute to open
the My Pictures file. The same goes for clicking the down arrow up top and
selecting a new drive (like our network drive). The size of the folder
doesn't seem to influence the length of time from my estimations either.
