Loading of My Documents Folder Taking 20 seconds of reading

HI

Over night, the reading time of my, My Documents folder has gotten really long.
When I try and enter it, the folder takes like a full 20-30 seconds.

Never had this happen in several years of using Dopus. Always just loads right away.

Any help appreciated.

Have you tried the steps outlined in the FAQ for this ?

This FAQ as well: [Crash, exit or high CPU when viewing certain directories)

Also - does the same thing happen in Explorer?

Thanks for the help.

Tried everything and ended up reinstalling.

When I Restore to saved version, the problem returns.
Only the My Doc.'s folder.

And in Explorer, no problem.

Seems to be OK now.

But, I seem to be having trouble with my Help File.
The formatting is gone in the display window.

Thanks again.

What's different about your saved configuration versus the default configuration? If restoring that makes the problem come back then it should be easy enough to track down.

My guess would be that your old/saved configuration shows additional columns which cause Opus (and the viewer plugins, video codecs, etc.) to open some of the files in your documents folder, and something is going wrong there.

If so then the FAQ I linked gives you the steps on how to track down what is causing the problem. Please follow them if you can and let us know what you find. If it's a problem in an Opus component then it can be fixed and if it's a problem in a 3rd party shell extension or video codec then we'll know to tell people to avoid/update it.
