Hello all,
I have been having a problem for quite some time now. I'm unsure when it started happening because it's been going on for such a long time now. So, here's whats been going on.
Every time i try to delete something, it finishes deleting and the 'Deleting' Windows stays open and it tells me its calculating how much time is remaining and it says 0 bytes left. o to get rid of the window i have to restart windows explorer from the task manager. Another problem i've been having is that when i rename a file, i can't X out of the window that i renamed the file in and i have to restart windows explorer for it to work. After i restart WE the folder/file is renamed. The last problem linked to this is that whenever i move/copy a file, it keeps the 'Moving' window open and i can't close it unless i restart windows explorer.
It's a real pain to deal with this and if anyone could help me out that would be great...
I have an HP desktop running Windows Vista x64 Bit. If you need anymore info just let me know. Thanks guys
-Vinny

Wecome Vinny,
I think that we may be able to solve your problem. Initially, a few reasons come to mind for your problem. Lets go step by step
Update and make a full anti virus scan
Download and make a full scan with Malwarebytes.
Run an SFC scan
System Files - SFC Command
Run 3 times if errors are found.
Finally, if nothing else is found, hit alt cntrl and delete at the same time on your keyboard, bring up task manager.
Go to process, click show process from all users. Then give us a screen shot.

Thanks for the reply,
The malwarebytes just finished scanning but didn't detect anything. I just started the 2nd SFC. The first one found some stuff but couldn't fix the corrupted files. I went to go open the CBS log and it told me access is denied (I'm an admin on the computer).

I can show you how to get the CBS, but run SFC three times to fix as many errors that it can.

Quite a few problems, there. Do you have an install DVD?
If no, do you have stuff that you want to save?

Re: [Help] Recycle bin freezes, windows explorer crashes, delete windows dont close
I have a lot of stuff i want to save... I don't think i have a CD... but if you think that its necessary for me to reinstall the OS, i might just upgrade to windows 7...

I had Vista and now Seven and I like Seven more, but we are far from that point. Lets try to save your stuff first.
