Thanks!  Great work. I just checked the new version - no stalls - finds all the files. Changed the thread to Solved!

Sorry.  I too thought they were separate issues.  Then from your response I realized that they were all part of the same issue.  At first I did not know that the fact that the search never said "completed" meant that it was stalled out.  I could still complete another search.  But the program was indeed stalled and I could not close the window of the search, nor the program itself.  Anyway hope this helps.  I can look into the files too, but I'm not sure I would be able to tell what the problem is.

It is the mp3 files.  I put only one file in the directory and MC hangs. Again - I can send them, but not attach them they are too large. A full dump is also too large.  I attached a compressed minidump (zip). This is the minidump from Process Explorer (latest version) for one of the two problem MP3 files in a directory - when using the Find Files part of MultiCommander. I also attached a screenshot (jpg) of what the program looks like when 'hanging'.

Thanks, I figured out how to do it.  I had a few directories, and ran it by directory.  Found two directories that had issues (files within them).  Narrowed these down - like you said, half by half (one had few files so I just did it file by file).  Found two files that 'hung' the program - the only ones that did. These are not personal files, they are MP3 files I made from my CD's for my own personal use - so they are 'legal'.  I tried to attach them - but they are too large and can't be compressed - they are already compressed. You can email me (I think you will have that as you are the admin)  I have XP and no details tab in the Task Manager.  I used process explorer and attached the process info - maybe that will help.  Otherwise tell me if you need anything else - or a way to create a dump in XP (I googled but there are many conflicting results and I'm not sure which is the type you would want).  I'm pretty computer literate.

I think it's the hanging on a file part that is causing the problem.  How do you think I should go about finding the issue.  How does find work?  In what order?  I changed the name of a folder, and voila, it found files in it. I think it hangs on a file (or folder) and that's why it's not finding all the files in all the subdirectories.  But I just don't have time to check them all.

Upon testing the hex search, it's not working either.  It finds different files each time - without me changing anything. Seems like the first search only searches the first folder.  The next time, it searches more. But it fails to find files in subfolders too.  Also it stops working and the search window just sits there - it never says the search is over - buttons say stop or pause.

Sort of answered it myself - In the Find Files dialogue - put hex value in the File Content box and choose Matching Method = Hex and Search Content Box = Binary.  Is there a way to copy the hex data.  I used another program to get it.  I could type it by hand...

I can't seem to figure out how to search for data in a file - I want to find all the file that contain data "TCON.......(".  I can see it in the viewer, but I can't copy it or search for it.
