FastStone Image Viewer 4.5 Advice

I'm currently using FastStone Image Viewer 4.5 on my PC using Vista but have recently experienced a problem. When I either copy or move images to another card or my external hard drive for example I get the small egg-timer symbol and nothing happens. Then when I click on another tab, say Internet Explorer, I then get another window saying how many images are being copied/moved and time remaining. Up until recently as soon as I hit the copy/move icon this happened pretty much instantly. I use Lexar/Sandisk Class 10 SDHC cards and a Lexar card reader.

I've de-fragmented my PC and cleared out some programs and files to make it run quicker but this doesn't seem to have helped.

Any suggestions please?

Copying/moving does take time. There is no such thing as immediate file transfer. Copying between harddisks is somewhat faster than from cards or memory sticks.
Best regards

It seems to be taking a lot longer than before though. When I said instantly that was perhaps the wrong word to use. I'm using a K-5 with DNG RAW images, perhaps the file sizes are having an effect?
