Right click menu(s) so slow!!

[1665]

Hi, I have a Win2k SP3 server which runs it's services
fine and in the performance monitor there are no signs of
anything running high. However if you right click on
anything it can take up to 60 seconds to respond and I
can't figure out why! Any Ideas?

Kind Regards

Andy

I had this problem recently, it had to do with an older antivirus program. Do you have an antivirus running? Have you tried booting to safe mode? If it is fine there, then you probably are looking at background softwares (such as antivirus).

What counter do you analyze in performance monitor?
Suggestion: go to

http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Server_Health_Check.htm

There are a step to use performance monitor.

I have seen something similar where group policies were being used to provide some of the options under start\programs, from an area on another server. The time it took for it to get the info across the network slowed things dont drastically

Hi,

I remember reading somewhere that one of the recent critical updates can slow down the performance of the server.

Try removing critical updates one at a time, and how or if the performance improves.
