    "Item Not Found" is driving me nuts


    Hi all!

    For some unknown reason, my 64-bit 7 gives "Item Not Found" dialog whenever I try to move/delete a folder or an archive. All I have to do is to click "Try Again" for the command to go through, but it's driving me insane. What's wrong with my 7? Sample dialog box in an attachment.

    What folders are you trying to delete/move? Are you logged in as the administrator. What do you mean when you say move/delete an archive?

    As far as I can tell, it happens with all folders. Folders with images, documents and music/video files. I'm not trying to move system folders.

    I am.

    I mean the dialog pops up when I try to move the folder to another location (either by drag'n'drop or by cut'n'paste), or when I try to delete it. Same thing with zip archives (but not with rar). Individual images files for example, can be moved or deleted like normal. I'm assuming it's a folder issue and that win7 treats zip files like folders.

    Basically, I try to move the folder, dialog pops up stating item not found. If I click "cancel", the folder is not moved. If I click "try again", the folder is moved without any further glitches, except that I need to click "try again" separately for every folder I was moving. Same thing with deletion.

    Edit: I also get the dialogue when renaming folders.

    Item not found (folder)


    ImageBanana - error.jpg

    This happens every time I try to copy a folder, when I OK it, it copies or moves it anyway but its pretty annoying especially when moving more then 1 folder...

    I've heard from a similar problem where it was solved by un-installing a windows update, something about virtualizing but I checked, it wasnt installed at my machine.
    In general I only update the critical marked stuff

    Sys:
    Win7 prof 64bit
    hdd:
    1 Sata (d & c)
    4x USB ( g, h, i k)

    chdisk finds no errors, problem occurs with every hd

    I've been pressing F5 a lot to try and get around this flaw.

    Bye.
