Windows Explorer hangs when deleting or renaming files I've been running Vista Business Edition RTM since the November 17th release.
I've begun having problems with Windows Explorer hanging every time I try to
delete a file, empty the recycle bin, or rename a file. The "Calculating
Time Remaining" dialog comes up and then just sits there until I eventually
try to close it (8-10 minutes!) and then I get a message that Windows
Explorer has quit working, a lot of data collection goes on, and then a
problem report is sent to Microsoft. It's getting pretty old...does anyone
have an idea what's going on?
It may be unrelated, but I suspect the problem may have started around the
time I loaded Office 2007. I had so many problems with Outlook 2007
(couldn't get it to run in anything but safe mode, even with all add-ins
disabled) that I finally unistalled Office 2007 and went back to Office 2003.
This problem with Windows Explorer hangs began while I had Office 2007
loaded, and it did not go away when I uninstalled Office 2007. It may be
unrelated, but... |
