explorer jams up on the same folder

[Red Squirrel]

There's this folder if I try to open it in explorer, it just freezes up. after multiple reboots, same thing. If I try to use run and open a sub folder of it, it freezes too, but eventually opens, but if I go to the root, nothing, it just freezes and I have to reboot as the only way out is to force explorer to close then that screws up the whole systray.

Also I keep seeing entries like this in my event log, but not sure if it's related:

The COM+ Event System detected a corrupt IEventSubscription object. The COM+ Event System has removed object ID {31EE2C1D-13F6-4B60-AD88-8E8DCCA45B56}. The subscriber will no longer be notified when the event occurs.

These dont happen every time I try to open it though, but the time stamp was pretty close to it, but if I try opening it again I don't get this error again. But figured perhaps it's related.

Also I my whole system is unstable (only noticable if I try to play a game) so I have a thread here:

I started this new thread as it may not be related.

Also if I do a dir -a in linux (the folder in question is a shared drive) it looks like this


borg:/data/intranet/main/private# dir -a
. .. college.link web_uploads
borg:/data/intranet/main/private#


So nothing abnormal, like no folder.htt file that could be causing issues, etc... just a mount(college.lnk is mounted on my linux server, and is a folder on this PC) and regular folder.

ever consider it being corrupt? Try doing a chkdsk /R (which will check for bad sectors and fix file table issues).

The folder might have a corrupted file (AVI) that is crashing the preview window.

I rebooted the server and it fixed the issue, it just so happened that fsck was scheduled to run at startup so it did, so it could have been corrupted... but http accesses to that folder were fine though (it's an apache virtual host)
