Guest Madd Scientist Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Hello all, I'm really hoping someone can help me with this problem, as I've been struggling with it for the past week. When browsing through a network drive, most of the folders work fine, but clicking on certain folders will lag/freeze Windows Explorer. If I click the affected folder and leave it for about 15-30 seconds, it will highlight itself, and then I can open it. This has only started being an issue in the past week or so. I've created a shortcut directly to the folder(s) on my desktop, and clicking on them from there will open them with no lag at all. There are video files in these folders (not in the direct root of the folder I'm having the issue with, but in subfolders underneath), so I've tried the suggestion i found in my original googling to try these commands - regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll and REGSVR32 /U SHMEDIA.DLL (to disable the thumbnail preview in Explorer), but neither of these commands fixed the problem. I've also tried system restores to various dates before the problem started happening with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try to fix this problem? thanks in advance
