No, something is broken on your system. I receive a listing of
everything on the drive.

i dont know, my friend is able to reproduce on his system too.
search freeze when you save criteria search while its searching.. me too i
am able to see listing of everything if dont try to save criteria search

And if you let it FINISH the search before saving the criteria or STOP
the search before saving the search?

As a double check, I tried "stuffing" the system as you are doing and by
being patient and waiting after clicking, the harddrive finally stopped
seeking and responded to the "save" request.

hi, if i let it finish the search and then save criteria seems
works(application hang for a while then unlock)
if i save while search often hang for ever

Then it's strictly a "problem" with your setup. It can be any number of
things, not enough memory, slow processor, too many background apps,
etc. So either STOP the search, allow the search to FINISH, or correct
the problem with your system.
