Win 7 Folders taking a long time to access files.
Hi SevenForums,
I could not find the correct thread to post so please accept my apologies if this is an old resolved bug.
This has been winding me for a while now, but today it has totally done my head in.
! when I access my music folders from external USB and I click on a folder the grey bar at the top of the folder window takes ages to move across... then I get the red cross in the button. This is a major problem now, the cpu fan goes crazy and well its quite disturbing.
To get around this I would access my file from within the music editing software to avoid this problem, but as I'm a Mastering Engineer I need to access the files in their respective folders.
This was never a problem on any other machine I have had before. All drives are fine tested on other machines. They are good.
So today I tried it again, same thing. The grey bar at the top went crazy when I tried to access a wav folder to master with 2.5 gigs of data in.
The grey bar at the top slowly moves across the top then the red cross thing again in the button, I refresh and the same thing again. Meanwhile the fan goes on and the thing then seems to hang on finding files in folders. So I back out of the folder close it down. Then I went to My computer on the start menu... erm the grey bar again slowly moves to the right, No C drive shows up is empty and the fan kicks in and it sounds like it is going to take off.
Then I have to close the machine down as it cannot find anything in the folders.
This is very strange indeed. This only happen when I search for files in folders before hand, normally I can see my drives when I click my computer.
I have just rebooted the laptop now and it is good but when I open a folder it goes nuts.
Please could somebody help as this is the only thing I hate about win 7... and why is this happening?
Thanks in advance
