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.

I have seen video card drivers do this to machines, even in XP.

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.

I too have this problem, it doesn't always happen, but it does most of the time and the only way to stop it is with task manager, I have the details of the problem here

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.
