    Can't open Music, Pictures, Videos ect


    When I open Windows Explorer, I'm unable to open Music,Pictures, Videos ect.

    It states.

    "Music.library-ms" is no longer working.


    No problems with sfc /scannow
    Unable to open properties of the listed programs.
    Restore points don't go back far enough.
    I did my backup/clone not knowing this problem was there, so they are no good.
    I verified that my Windows Updates are the same on both computers, so I don't think that is a problem.
    I have run a verity of security scans 'no problems found'.
    When I do find the above programs using Everything Search, I'm unable to change permission.
    Unable to solve problem in 'Safe Mode'.

    I do have a Microsoft Windows 7 Pro/64 DVD if needed.

    Can you still get acccess to the various music, video, pictures and docs files bearing in mind that you only have links to these files in the "Libraries"?
    What "programs" do you mean here?

    Jack. Have a look under Computer, C:, Users & then your user name & see if these are listed there. If so, you can Right Click on each item & select Include in Library, which should bring them back into Windows Explorer.

    Sorry for taking so long to get back. Thank you all for your suggestions.

    I have tried your suggestion plus a new user account. Did not help.

    I'm in the process of a Clean Install and all the damn updates.

    I keep thinking very hard what could of caused this problem.
    Many things under my user account (Admin.) were locked, even when I took ownership.
    I have two computers that run Windows 7/64 Pro and I treat them both the same.
    Same programs, updates, ect..
    It's got me confused.
    I will get back to good folks if I figure it out.

    You don't say in your System Specs what A/V you have. It might well be that you have or had a bug in the system? Did you run any scans before going into a clean install? Do you not use something like Macrium Reflect to back up your system on a regular basis? This would probably save you a ckean install!

    I know it's too late now but did you think to enable the "Hidden Admin Account"? My guess is that the list of installed updates would show a few failures over the past few months.
    Just out of curiosity, do you create a clone or an image for your backups?
