Windows explorer freezes when I try to move files..How to fix it?
 

I don't know what in the fuck is wrong but all of a sudden, I can't move files from one folder to the other and this also affects programs like Studio 8 where I need to retrieve the video before I can edit it..

Anybody here know how to fix my windows explorer? I'm using XP

format c:

I said WINDOWS explorer...

Jesus Christ.

how many files and how big are u trying to move?

it prob thinks all them ugly hoez is just corrupted files


jk idk :x

LOLLMFAO!

buy a mac

I hope this isn't too basic, but I had that problem, and I don't think its a windows explorer problem, I think it's a virtual memory problem.
Dump as many temporary file as you can, free up some space, check to see if you need a defrag, and reboot.

If you have done all of that and that was a grade school answer, my apologies, but it worked for me.


..and after that, send gates a pissed off email.

Ok, it looks like I can move files now..However, if I open up either studio 8 or Windows Movie Maker, both programs freeze up when I try to call up a file to edit so I know it can't be the software if two different programs fuck up when I do the same thing...

This is bullshit.

edit...now it just crashed my windows explorer again...I'll try to dump the temporary files and see what happens.

why don't you reboot and see if it happens again ?
please tell me that you did that already

Everything Windows is a HOG when it comes to processor.
Those are very draining programs.
Free up some space and run just those, with nothing unimportant running in the background.

obviously

Yep, that was the problem...Just deleting the temporary files helped...I'll run the defrag tonight when I'm asleep.

Thanks.

nope..it's still fucked up...I guess i'll run a defrag tonight and hope it works in the morning...if not, I'm fucked.
