THere are two computers in a small office that share Quickbooks 2008. &nbsp; They are both running Win XP Pro. &nbsp; &nbsp;One computer is the main computer for Quickbooks while the other is a client for Quickbooks. &nbsp; They were running fine until I put a new external drive for backup on the computer running as the main. &nbsp;The main had a Maxxtor external drive but that ecame defective and a new external (Not a Maxtor) was put in it's place. &nbsp; Now when the main computer is on but Quickbooks is not running and the user on the client tries to open Quickbooks it lags about 30-40 secs before it opens. &nbsp;If the main computer has Quickbooks open then the lag time on the client is only about 15-20 secs per page. &nbsp;This did not happen before. &nbsp; The client opened Quickbooks very quickly. &nbsp;Any ideas why this is happening? &nbsp; Both computers have 2GB of RAM
