Then my computer (3GHz Core 2 duo, 2GB mem, 4.5 TB of disks, Win XP SP2) crashed (off). When it rebooted everything seems to work except MC. I have reinstalled 3.039, and it runs with the default config.xml or no config.xml. If I try to run the old config, it starts to run, brings up the panels, and in the main panel on the left it lists the first film and then hangs. It says "not responding" to windows task manager or to other methods of trying to kill it. It will die after that. If I delete config.xml, add one of the 5 movie folders I have to it, config the scraper to put IMDB first and IPA last, and do a media search, if it is in a dir that has new mpg files it will identify all which are missing .nfo files and hang scraping the first one. I tried moving the first in alpha order out of the dir and now it hangs on trying to scrape 1 of 10 instead of at 1 of 11.
If I del the config file and add a folder that has all the movies matched with .nfo files and try to rebuild the movie list, it lists one movie and hangs.
etc.
I have not tried anything with 2.292. Are there any ideas of what might be happening? I have cygwin and perl installed on this computer so I could perhaps use some shell tools or write a perl script that could investigate the .nfo files.
It seems that MC is having a problem searching the folders for nfo files. Is there any posibility of bad sectors?
