Cannot open folders


Recommended Posts

Everytime I try to open a folder (any folder My Documents, My Computer, Control Panel) the hour glass apears next to my Cursor and then all my desktop icons dissapear. All of my programs are still running, and then my icons come back, just like nothing happened. Last night I guess I installed a Windows Update, when i woke up my computer had restarted. I have ran AdAware, Spy Sweeper, and Norton Anit-Virus. That didn't help. If any one can help me please do.

I can open folders in safe mode

i sometimes get this with certain files in a folder like for example the bf2 demo or the desert combat file. Seems to be if its a file 500 to 600/700 mb in size and i think also the way the exe file has been compiled as well. Not all large files do this but those are the only ones i can think of. If it happens alot move the large files onto a cd/dvd instead

These

    • Rubbish talentless people hired on basis of filling a certain quota will always lead to rubbish company decisions. I am stumped at the thought that people are still OK with DEI after the hell that the gaming industry is going through.
    • I mean, to say that Xbox lost is soul, is the exact same argument you could make about Sony. Clearly, the console space is not the as it was a decade ago, as it was a decade before that and another before that. Generational shifts and market trends clearly defined the space we're currently at. One thing is clear, gaming is not going anywhere, it only continues to grow, for better or for worse. Microsoft pivoted to a publisher focused, and now they want to dominate console streaming, which they seem to have a considerable leg up over Sony on this regard as Internet reliability and speeds keep improving, console hardware might not be a feasible model unless you follow the Nintendo route of making the hardware at a profit (considering its limitations). Also, it seems now that Microsoft pivoted the Xbox branding, that could open the door for 3rd party hardware companies make Consoles that run Windows-Xbox OS, which is something interesting to consider, which would convert Xbox into an Android like approach.
    • UK planning measures to stop illegal content from going viral by Usama Jawad Image via Pixabay A few days ago, we learned that the UK's digital regulator Ofcom has mandated adult websites like Pornhub to put robust age check mechanisms in place to ensure that age-inappropriate content like pornography is not readily available to minors. Now, the government-approved authority has set its sights on a new target. According to an announcement on its website, Ofcom is now holding a consultation period for a set of measures it is proposing to curb the spread of illegal content online. These methods are a part of Ofcom's "Year of Action" initiative, where the regulator is taking decisive practical actions to ensure the online safety of the UK's citizens. Ofcom is proposing the implementation of better recommender systems and crisis response protocols to restrict illegal content from going viral online. In addition, it has also proposed the utilization of proactive mechanisms like hash checks for illegal images to nip the problem in the bud and not even allow any such visual content to be published online. Furthermore, the regulator will be asking tech firms and social media platform owners to leverage artificial intelligence systems in order to detect content like fraud and suicide. People who regularly engage in the practice of publication of illegal content online will also be punished with new sanctions. Lastly, Ofcom wants to build upon its existing child protection codes and capabilities online. It is planning to do this by placing restrictions on interactions between minors and streamers during livestreams. It will urge website owners to block users who share child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and is also proposing the development of AI tools to detect grooming activities and CSAM. The consultation period is open until 5pm on October 20, 2025. Ofcom is soliciting feedback from "service providers", law enforcement authorities, and the public until that deadline to finalize its proposal.
    • What are you talking about? I have had 4 Samsung fold devices and they all have the crease. It is not as noticable when facing straight on but its still noticable.
