I also hv a problem with "dear" dr. watson. Sometimes when i want to
delete ONLY media files ,avi. in particular, dr. watson appears as an
error and ALL my PC is freezing. It doesnt happen for any other files
and to those happening arent corrupt files.
Any solution ?

Tnx in advance (F) .
 
Avi files have a bug in XP. XP thinks that it has to read through every avi
file every time that you open a folder that contains any. You also get the
locked file in use when trying to delete, rename, move, etc. avi files.

See this on the fix.

The only down side to the above fix is that when you right click an avi file
and select Properties, the Summary page will be blank or grayed out.
