doing this if the file is a few hundred MB, so I can't be sure
it's doing
this for small files, though if the file is really large

doesn't do it at all. I've been able to isolate the problem to
msisip.dll.
Explorer.exe is version 4.72.3110.1. I run with most options
turned off and
the following reg settings:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVe rsionP

"DisableTaskManager"=dword:00000001

Any ideas?

Help,
because of someone37’s post here, I just noticed I have the same
problem. I did make the mistake of installing Windows Installer
v2.0.2600.2. Now it takes forever to view the properties of files
over 20 MB’s.

I tried downgrading to Windows Installer 1.1 but it did nothing and no
files have been changed. Is there any way to uninstall Installer
v2.0.2600.2 so I can reinstall v1.1 or is there another solution?
