hi, I can't move big files from partition C to partition D, this in normal
operation;

I enter to secure mode and I can move the files
without any problem.

Do you get any error message when you try to move these files? What is the type/extension of these files etc?

Do you get any error message when you try to move these files?

No, just the window saying it left 5 seconds to copy/move the file
but never ends


What is the type/extension of these files etc?
videos, almost all .mpg & .avi



Since I can move/copy in secure mode, some aplication is just turtling the copy/move
process, lol

Do you by any chance have created a 'Restore Point' which is not too old (e.g. 10 days or so ago), if so, use it to restore your system to that time, perhaps that may help.

Possibly Kaspersky is searching through the big files trying to find a virus. This could take a long time. You could easily check that by (temporarily) disabling the anti-virus and trying to move again.
You quite sure you have sufficient room on D: ?
The files are not read-only on C: ?
You are not holding the file open in one application (viewer etc) whilst trying to move it with another (explorer) ?
Have you checked system event logs for any error events ?
Did this just start to happen when it has worked many times before?
Since there are minimum 3 different ways of moving a file, exactly how are you trying to do it ?

Surprising, you are right. When I added my post yesterday, it had appeared as a new post at the top of the list in the Windows forum. Must have been a website gliche.
