| Guest | Problems searching for, renaming or deleting files in windows expl When I try to search for a file in windows explorer, the window stops responding after I have typed the first letter of the search name. When I attempt to delete a file a window appears saying "Calculating time remaining" this just hangs; attempting to close the message window causes a message "cancelling" to occur in the message window but it continues to hang. The explorer window becomes unresponsive. When I attempt to rename a file I get a similar problem. For each of the three problems I need to go to Windows Task Manager to close the unresponsive explorer window. I have been running Vista Home Premium for about 2 months but this problem only appeared a couple of days ago. I have attempted to solve it using system restores going back as far as it will allow me - but no joy. Any ideas, anybody? |

| Guest | Re: hang on deleting and renaming I have the same problem with Vista Ultimate. I have installed Acronis True Image a week ago, can this have caused the problem? Or something to do with google desktop, I deinstalled it after hangs in indexing. Also my Outlook 2007 is only starting up in safe mode! Anybody has a solution?
