When WinExplore is ocassionally unresponsive it typcially points to other processes that have a higher priority than updating the UI. Within this context internet activity can cause CPU bottleneck as well as USB file transfers that appear to be stuck. More information is needed please. 1. What activities are you performing 2. Are you transferring (copy or cut/paste) files to USB or another drive or drive partition 3. What programs are your running simultaneously (if any)? 4. What are your hard drive configurations (size, partitions, pagefile location, last time error checking and deframentation were run) 5. Computer configuration (what you have connected) and memory and CPU. 6. Home network activity, sharing a folder or a drive? 7. Is your network secure (ie., is your wireless router protected from anonymous connectivity)?
