Hi Denny, While in Windows Explorer, go to Tools and then folder options. Next, move to the view tab, and then the tree-view, and uncheck the following: show preview handlers in preview payne. This problem does not occur on every Win7 machine, but we have found that unchecking this option has corrected the problem on several systems. This crops up on some 32 and 64-bit systems.

I am running Windows 7 Professional and whenever I open a folder on any of my drives, I get the message, Not Responding. For example if I try and open the folder, Downloads, on my C drive, I can navigate a few files but after only a few seconds the message, Downloads Not Responding. If I try and alt f4 out of the folder I get a message saying, Windows Explorer is not responding Windows can check online for a solution. If you restart or close the program, you might lose information. Check for a solution and restart the program. Close the program. Wait for the program to respond. View problem details . If I click on, check online and restart the program, it shuts down Windows Explorer and I have to reboot. If I click on, wait for the program to respond, I have to wait 5 minutes or so and then I can navigate the folder, but only that folder and if I navigate to a different folder the problem reoccurs. When I click on, view problem details, I get this message: A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.
