Re: [XP Home] XP SP2 delay in opening

Also, if you "Stop" the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service does the delay resolve?:

I fixed it. It was Norton's Security doing. I downloaded the Nortons removal tool and the problem is gone. I should of known better.

Thanks for all the replies!!!!

Are you sure Norton was not scanning at the time so that the system appears to be slow?

I used to be indecisive, now I am not sure.

It wasn't scanning. The only slowness that I noticed the most was whenever I would open "My Computer" and also when I would open windows explorer and try and open anything in thr tree.

Now that Nortons is removed "everything" opens instantly.

Does this mean that you have no active antivirus installed now?

Or that you had "1 and a 1/2" -- you removed only parts of Norton and replaced it with something new?
