Windows Explorer Freezes

I have been having Windows Explorer freeze for between 30 seconds and 2 mins since installing Autocad map 2010. It happens when i try to open any file in windows explorer. The current explorer window freezes and say not responding. It also happens if i CTRL-C or right click on a file and when i double click a file on my desktop. Even non Autocad files like a 2kb txt file. While explorer is frozen i can actually open another window or keep using any open programs which is odd.

 

Has anyone else had this issue or heard of a possible fix for it? :shock:

 

Cheers

Sounds like a PC problem or, more specifically a need for more memory.

 

In addition to memory, I would do a complete virus scan, defrag, clean up files (disk cleanup).

 

What OS are you using? I've not had a problem using MS XP Pro SP3.

yeah im using XP Pro SP3.

I have defragged, scanned for virus's and spyware, ran chkdsk and disk cleanup a couple times as well as CCLEANER.

The machine has 4 gig of ram

Its just odd how its only started happening since installing Map 2010

Cheers anyway Tankman
