 I have a problem that I need help with!
 After I save anything into my hard disk the "updating the desktop"
statement comes on and stays on and nothing seems to happen for about
one full minute!

 I have an SE two floppies and an int. 40 Meg Quantum Hard Drive plus 
2.5 Meg ram.  This problem did not exist before my upgrade to the hard drive.
It ran fine with the 2.5 Meg ram.  I'm using System 6.02 with the normal
Finder.  It doesn't hang up like every time I access the disk. I am 
running off the hard drive.  Downloading into the hard disk from the net
does not cause problems, only duplicating or transferring files from another
disk drive cause the problem.

Is this a software problem or a hard ware problem.  I'm assuming software.
Will changing my system and finder fix the problem?

I do have a lot of fonts and DA's in the system (about 2meg), could
this cause a problem?

I would appreciate any help on this matter!  Please E-mail your help
 to bob@ivucsb.sba.ca.us
