    I'm running Vista Home Edition and just noticed, every time I delete something it freezes on the "calculating time" window. If I use cntrl alt & delete it clears it and sends it to the recycle bin, but to empty the bin I have to do this all over again. Is this a virus or malware? I tried deleting the Recycle Bin and letting Windows create a new one but it didn't fix it. Anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks
