I have a Toshiba Tecra8000 running Windows 2000 with service pack 2. I have installed a parallel port 100mb zip drive. I`m using the latest iomega ioware. My problem is: Windows sees the zip drive, but when I try to open any folder on a zip disk, it takes forever to open and the whole system runs at a snails pace until I eject the zip disk. I just inherited this laptop, so I don`t have much experience with it. Any suggestions.
