@av8ing,

are you able to determine in which version it last worked correctly?

Old version installers are available here: http://multicommander.com/olddownloads

I tried  SaveStringToFile(MyReadMe.txt,"",0)

The first argument needs to be the complete path to the file, including drive and folder(s).

AFAIK, MCs RegEx engine does not support multiline searching.

Set up your tabs the way you want them, right-click the tab and select "Save tabs to file..."; pick a location.

You can have as many such set-ups as you want.  To load another, right-click a tab and select "Load tabs from file..."; pick your file.

Assuming your event log error was Event ID 51, there are several possibilities:

• Your device driver is outdated or corrupt
• The drive is failing
• The drive was unplugged without being "safely" removed
• The drive is very low on free space

Some things to look into...

Edii:  Also run chkdsk

@Anti-Bacterial, for what it's worth, I cannot reproduce this problem either: in fact I have never seen it in any program.

It has to be an issue with a setting on your PC or with your mouse settings.

Do you have any accessibility options enabled (even accidentally) in Windows?

I could not find any (built-in) way to do this.

Can you explain why Left Arrow is "faster" than Backspace and Right Arrow is "faster" than Enter (each is one keypress) ?

Your opinion?
Windows or MC issue?
Bob

Fairly sure it's a Windows issue.

Bugger 

If you're game, I have one last thing to try (if you're not - I understand - you've been very patient).

Step 1: create a restore point with a meaningful name (important)
Step 2: open a command prompt as Administrator
Step 3: run the following command:   DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
        Wait for it to finish. It may take several minutes (even appearing to hang), but it will finish.
        If it finds any corruption, it will contact the Microsoft servers and install anything it needs to
Step 4: Reboot and re-test.

If anything goes wrong - very unlikely - recover from your restore point.

This is my last shot, so good luck!

Hi Bob.

Looks like you had at least one Windows Update fail at some point (and the backup store is corrupt, so cannot be repaired).

When you ran Disk Cleanup (as suggested by @Anti-Bacterial) did you make sure that both Thumbnails and Windows Update Cleanup were checked?  If not, please run it again with (at least) those two options checked & reboot afterwards.

After a reboot, please check for windows updates and apply any that are found.  Reboot afterwards.

Check your thumbnail issue and let us know how you get on.

Bob,

if you run the first and second commands I posted, you will end up with a file at C:\sfcdetails.txt which is a filtered CBS Log with only the relevant lines from SFC.

This will be small enough to attach to a reply here.

You could try this - it won't hurt as the thumbnail cache will simply rebuild itself as you browse files.  Might be worth a try.

Good catch @Anti-Bacterial: I should have thought of that (but then I am very old  )

From one old fart to another...

Run the following 3 lines exactly from a cmd prompt (wait for each one to finish before typing the next):

Code: [Select]

sfc.exe /scannow
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > "C:\sfcdetails.txt"
start "" /MAX "C:\sfcdetails.txt"

Check the output for any errors or repairs that were necessary.

Reboot & see if anything has changed (for the better!).

Hi Bob.

Have you tried running SFC to see if it lists any problems?

Are you, by any chance, using ACDSee image viewer?

Sorry - I misread your post.

AFAIK there is no way in MC to sort files before folders.

Menu -> Configuration -> Explorer Panel Settings -> Display tab -> Sorting and Columns section: uncheck Sort file and Folders separately, Folders first.

Any better?
