Hi,
After updating my iTunes this weekend to accomodate my new iPhone 4S, i started noticing weird problems on my PC.
I was randomly getting "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer" when trying to rename random files (typically large 5gb +) Plus making matters worse, everytime I rec'd this rather annoying message, the pc was hung like a donkey for ages. Task Host manager was up in the north pole somewhere !
I kid you not, I spent most of yesterday and all of this evening troubleshooting this damn problem, thinking at first one of my HD's was on its way out. After running every diagnostic tool known to man, and everything coming back clean. Switiching out hardware to get to the bottom of this.
I was about to pull the plug after putting it down to software, and was gonna pull the trigger on an image restore / rebuild.. ugh.
But before doing that, I decided to remove iTunes and Quicktime, since these were the most recent additions to my machine, and now everything seems back to normal... I also removed PS3 media server too, so perhaps theres a compatibity issue somewhere.
I'm anal with my rig, no crap / demo junk / p2p nonsense gets installed on my baby.
In other words its a clean as a whistle. Hence at first thinking I had a bad sector or something...
So interested to hear if others have suffered the same fate? and if they haven't, hopefully this post will save you hrs upon hrs of head scratching, if a similar problem occurs.
