    I got fed up with Vista because of the eternal "Cannot load desktop" and Windows Explorer closing. I installed XP SP3, everything worked fine until 5 minutes ago when I noticed something weird :eek: . It takes up to 30 seconds to open Windows Explorer :(. Before this problem it was opening instantly. I also noticed a lag on opening programs. My U6 should be way faster now but it is not :(. Why is it doing this?

    L.E: I found the issue. If I use win+e to open explorer it takes up to 30 seconds and if i double click on windows explorer it opens instantly. Obviously there is lag on the keyboard. Any ideas?

    The only i can think off if some of the special (keyboard) apps under Vista no longer works correctly under XP. Tried updating the (XP) chipset driver?

    cheers ...
