Found a bugfix on Microsoft’s technet that fixes a problem I’ve had on my laptop. When I do a file-open or a file-save, Windows 2000 takes ages – literally minutes – to come up with the file dialog box. Apparently this is a known issue with Windows2000sp2 and there is a bug fix available from them. Alternatively you can wait for service pack3 to come out! You shouldn’t have to pay to get this call in as it’s a known issue.
Update I’ve got this file installed on the laptop and it seems to make a little bit of a difference – still takes about 10 seconds for the file open dialog box to appear in notepad though!
