REGARDING your questions here:
I am running Windows 7 Starter, which I believe is 32-bit, but I may be
mistaken.
No anti-virus running.
Don't really know what python is, so probably don't have another version of
it running, hopefully!
Also not sure how to find default.db, doesn't come up on a file search of
My Computer.
No funny characters in my username ("Chris")
Everything is on C drive.
Have had the problem without using the card browser, repeatedly.
I'll try the defragment this afternoon, and read up on the process monitor
to see if I could figure it out without too much risk! :)
Good luck, Chris S.
