Why does the "My Computer" icon take so long to show the drives?
I have a standard 2003 PowerEdge Server. Fast Processor and six 146gig SCSI drives 15krpm. When I click on the "My computer" icon it takes 5 minutes or longer to show the drives. Any ideas why?

Actually yes. I just found this one. It is consistent with trying to open My Computer. But the drive is there.

Ok. So I uninstalled the CDRom and now it opens like lightning. So I have a issue with the CDROM. I should have looked in the event viewer. Duh.

I just didn't think to look in the event viewer. One guy recommended it and the other guy mentioned the drives. I saw the cdrom error and knew immediately what it was. Uninstalled it and everything really took off lightning fast.
cool, glad to hear you got it resolved! :)
Did you fill in your reverse DNS ?
