| Vista Home Basic | Create New folder, move file, delete file. Explorer Freeze Basically the title. Almost every single time i move ANY file or delete any file, the window im in freezes and the progress bar freezes. Now when i create a new folder the window im in freezes also, but i'd say its only 50% of the time. The temporary solution i found was to go to the task bar, end explorer, and restart it using run. Now when i check back on that folder, whatever action I did (ie delete file) does do what i wanted, its just the freezing. I'm looking for a permanent solution to this and any insight would be greatly appreciated. |

| Vista home premium 64 bit | Re: Create New folder, move file, delete file. Explorer Freeze Hi erod49, try looking in your error logs. You have given a good discription of the problem. Tel us your system specs as well. To get into your error logs, Left Click on Start Menu. Right click on Computer and choose manage. Click on the event viewer. You now have loads of options to try and pin down what is happening. Expand the error tab. Look for things in the last 24 hours. Other things to look for are updates, has an update caused this. Has your computer autoupdated any of the motherboard drivers. Have you tried to restore the computer before the error started or has it always been like that. |

| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: Create New folder, move file, delete file. Explorer Freeze Has anybody had any luck in fixing this error? I have this problem as well, but it doesn't seem to be related to graphics card driver as I've didn't update this before the error occured. |

| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: Create New folder, move file, delete file. Explorer Freeze I went through the pain of working out which service was causing the problem. In my case stopping the Windows Search service fixed the issue. There is also a new preview version of Windows Search which might be worth try. |
