Folks

I have just replaced my old 200 MHz
NT box with a new Athlon 3200 XP
box.

Result: BlackBox is now so slow it is
almost unuseable.

I don't know if the problem is BlackBox,
or XP. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The only other hardware and software on
the machine is:

Software - Norton Security Suite
         - An ADSL modem driver.

Hardware - An USB ADSL modem for internet.
         - A local 100 MHz eithernet cable,
           switching hub, and 2 old 98 machines.

The 98 machines can share files (with all 3 machines),
share the printer which is on one of them,
use the internet through the XP machine,
all fast with no problems.

The BlackBox problem is that when I double-click
the icon, or an odc file, there is a delay before
it opens. Sometimes no delay, usually about 5 seconds,
sometimes over 30 seconds.

The two clues I have are:

 - The XP box takes forever to see files or
printer over the eithernet.

 - The task manager shows an activity spike of 50%
on the eithernet when I try to open BlackBox.


If I open other programs (eg Wordpad) I do not see this delay.

Any ideas welcome,

Robert
