After a scan ... 45 seconds to Save Frame As
Now, I notice I get the a similarly slow Save As response from
MSWORD.


If you are using Windows XP then if the 'My Network Places' folder contains
a shortcut to a network share, then each refresh of the explorer window will
attempt to read icon information from every file in the remote location,
causing the system to slow to a crawl, particularly if the network drive is
no longer available. 

Removing all shortcuts from 'My Network Places' will return the system
response to normal.

In my case, I don't see any shortcuts in My Network Places. If what you describe IS the cause of the slow save response, if I were to (temporarily) disable the network connection, should I see the problem "go away"?
