Windows XP Explorer slow and no refreshes

Hi,

I run PD12 on macOS Sierra. My Windows XP VM is fine. But the explorer is very slow and folders are not refreshing. I must hit the refresh button or change the folder an go back in. When I change a folder it take up to 3-4 seconds before the content shows. I already reviewed the settings for memory etc. The Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 VMs don't have this issue.

Is there a solution?

Regard,
Steffen
