Windows 7 hangs up trying to share folder on LAN
I'm trying to share a large folder of music files that is about 100gb on my home network. I set the sharing for "Everyone" read/ write, like all the other files that I share on my LAN. I have some very large movie folders that the computer has no problem sharing with other computers on the network and homegroup, but this particular music folder has the computer hanging up when i hit the share button after selecting "everyone".. The window that shows that it is processing the shared folder comes up but it just sits there with the progress bar running back and forth. It did this overnight. I have tried to set all of the security parameters the same as other folders also, but nothing seems to work.
Is there something else that I need to do to share this folder?
Thanks,
