I suddenly had a problem with ms 10.

When I go through directories looking for a stock in the "Open" window it happens that metastock is extremely slow (10 sec) to display what there is in a directory.

It started suddently after a metastock crash and no success to sort out the problem even re-installing metastock!

It's likely that something wrong happened in the windows xp registry :-( I fear...

Do you have any idea?

Some informations more:

While the system appears freezed mswin.exe uses 50% of cpu (one of the two cores is at 100%)

No other strange things happen

Do you have any very large files (i.e. a large ZIP file) stored directly on your Desktop? We have seen slow response time in the File-->Open dialog in these cases.

Great Justin!!

You fully solved my problem! I had the zip file of my whole database on the desktop as a backup waiting to go on a DVD... I didn't think to it as a problem but it was! :-O

I can add a tip that could be useful to someone having problem to uninstall Metastock if it is not present in the Control Panel\Application Install list, like happened to me

you can unistall Metastock by the following DOS command:

isuninst -f"c:\programmi\equis\uninst.isu"

After having re installed Metastock (before reading Justin's gold tip) it appears in the Control Panel\Application Install list again ... Windows' mystery...who cares? :-)

thanks again
