Slow file management over wireless
I have an HP Win 7 Pro desktop setup witch has an external HDD connected via USB 2.0. I am connected to that computer and external HDD from an HP Vista Home Premium laptop. I can get on network, open files, play music, etc on the laptop. But certain file management commands seem to be very slow. For example, while using laptop I browse to the external HDD connected to the desktop and open a folder with 15 pictures. I select all 15 and tag them 'X', and it takes 1:30. If I do it from the desktop (ext. HDD direct connected via USB 2.0) it only takes a few seconds. Most files can be opened on the laptop without a noticeable difference. When I browse items on the external HDD from the laptop there is a green bar at the top of the screen that slowly moves from left to right across the address bar, like it is scanning it.... any operation here like rename, rotate clockwise, tagging, etc take forever compared to desktop. Imagine all of these descriptions with picture files only, as that is all I have been working with. Thanks everyone in advance if you can help!
