    Really weird behavior..

    In My Music I like to add album covers. One of the jpg's ended up in the folder so it only shows the pic covering part of the folder (see attachment upper left)

    I've both copied the pic and dragged it out trying to change folder cover. Here are the steps

    Right clicked the folder, properties, customize, choose picture, when my puter freezes before getting error report. After a few moments My Music will close. If I reboot, I can customize other folders, but when I go back to this folder I have the same problem. I've scanned the folder with AV and three AS programs without any detections and it plays OK.

    Any ideas?

    PS It's a Data Execution Protection aka DEP problem

    What happens when you boot into safe mode and try to edit the folder?

    Not sure. I'll try that later. Tired of messing with it.
