chris_p Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 For a couple of weeks now...When I right click in a certain folder (I've only noticed this with one particular folder and it's subfolders) the CPU goes up to 100% which causes everything to... well you know what.I have tried disabling context menus (all of them, and then rebooting) Context menus using ShellExView - no luck.I reinstalled the original NVIDIA drivers - no luck.Any suggestions, anyone?

Scarecrow Man Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Move the contents somewhere else and see if the same thing is happening.Also, What types of files are in this folder? and what process is going to 100%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only it's not happening now - that is with all the context menus disabled. Last night it was screwy, but perhaps a second reboot with the context menus disabled has done the trick.The files are html files mostly. If it happens again I will do what you suggested, and I'll check the process.Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auto98 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Any chance there was any avi files in that folder? there is a well known bug (well, feature according to microsoft) that can cause it to try read the avi data - theres an easy fix for it if so (though you have to have it sent from MS - free though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
