Re: disk access from XSI gone crazily slow

[Chris Marshall <chris.marshall(at)eclipsecreative.co.uk>]

I see, favorites as in, favorites! Well I don't have any browser favorites that are anything other than web pages.
The problem is when I do a Save-as or Load, or anything that requires loading or saving assets where a browser needs to pop up.
I don't appear to have a   \Softimage\XSI_6.5\Data\default.xsiprojects  file.

You 'remove favorites' in any of the browsers. (i.e. Open Projects>Top

Or:
Delete "<your system drive>\Softimage\XSI_6.5\Data\default.xsiprojects
file"
Or:
Are you talking about when you click the network icon in the browser?
Then:
Some of the shortcut folders in Windows Explorer's NETWORK might be
dead?

Otherwise, no idea... :(
Am I upto coding something? ;P

Not that I'm aware of. What XSI files can I clear out, that would store 
stuff like that?

Any unused, disconnected favorites in browsers?
Seems XSI is trying to linkup to them...

I don't tolerate even a minute for a browser to open up. I reinstall.

Hi All,
A problem we've had over the years is Browsers in XSI taking ages to 
load up, so loading and saving anything in XSI is painful as it might 
take a couple of minutes for the browser to come up. This hasn't been 
too bad for a while, but we just disconnected an old machine from our 
network, and now all of our XSI's have gone crazy slow again. There 
wasn't a mapped drive on that machine, it had no shared assets and 
wasn't linked to in any way by XSI projects.
I know this has been asked before, but does anyone have any idea where
    

we might start to look at how to stop this happening.
XSI 6.5 on XP of course. XSI is the only software that has this
    

problem.
  

Cheers
Chris
