Hello,
in Windows 98SE Explorer, when I right-click and choose Properties on a
file larger than 30 MB's, it takes a long time to open. I read somewhere
that Windows Installer v2.0.2600.2 could be the cause, which I did install.
I tried to downgrade to Windows Installer 1.1 but it didn't work and no
files were changed.

Could someone tell me why, when I use Windows Explorer Properties on a
large file, it now takes so long to view Properties? This is very
noticeable on files larger than 50 MB's and the drive seems to be reading
the entire file just to view its properties. Is there a fix for this
Microsoft bug?

Thanks.
