Discovery Problem in Windows Explorer
Okay this problem only arose yesterday after installing Cyberlink Powerdirector.
When entering Windows explorer from say
Start>Documents
Explorer comes up as normal and sits empty, with a load of discovery icons (magnifying glasses moving in circular motion) on the left window pane.
Although if i say entered explorer this way:
Downloads Window (FFox 3)> Select a item > Right click > Open Containing Folder
Then explorer opens as normal with out the above problem
It doesnt do this straight away, for example:
Yesterday, after i processed a video in Cyberlink Powerdirector the problem arose
Today, after i scanned a couple documents in Fireworks CS3 (w/my scanning application) it started doing this again.
Also if you locate the files that i scanned/processed and click on them they sit there as a unkown file type (the page icon with the top left corner folded) and the information pane at the bottom of the screen displays no information - that is NO information, not even the field names.
I can solve this problem by restarting, but that is an inconvenience for me as i scan alot of documents.
I have run a anti spy ware program through my computer, (SpyBot S&D) and i always have Avast On-Acess Scanner running.
I am not a good citizen and pirate alot of software, and the fact that i used a crack for PowerDirector may have caused this, but i am still unsure of that.
If anyone can recognise this problem, and identify it as a general problem with W7 or that its what happens thanks to a inconvinient virus - please reply :)
