Rename or Move Folder Problem

Finished building my computer, installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and moved all my data files. Worked great until I went on line. Next morning, I booted and my primary monitor on which I have a solid black desktop had these multi-shade red stripes from left to right. When I would move my cursor, it had a narrow multi red strip that would follow it around. Reset desktop to windows default which looked like it had sprayed pink splotches all over it. Second monitor stayed correct. Reversed monitor priority which would also reverse the issue so it was just affecting the primary monitor. After a couple hours I gave up and uninstalled all the updates and everything went back to normal except when I wanted to rename a folder or move one. I would get a message -"Could not find this item. This item is no longer located in C:\Whatever. Verify the location and try again." Lots of solutions for Vista but the registry files they referred to appeared to be good. Later I did find that if I clicked on retry a couple of times it would go ahead and rename the file. I did go back and install the deleted updates in bunches of 5 and did not create any issues but also did not resolve this issue

Is your primary monitor spoilted?
1.Try connect this monitor to other computer, check the result?

2. Perhaps, your primary monitor 's driver has problem during installation.
    Reinstall the monitor 's driver.

Monitor worked fine after uninstalling all updates. Works great after reinstalling the updates so the monitor issue is no longer a problem but the renaming issue is.

sounds like hard drive issues to me you should use a program like seatools to check the drive

Hard drive issues? I hope not. Two brand new Vertex 3s! Will look into the best way to check these drives.
1. Clear the registry entries by refering to the txt attachment.
2. Restart the computer

 clean.txt
If the problem solved, please upgrade point to MAX 500  :-)

VJ, you refer to clearing the entries listed in your attachment, do you mean delete those entries and if so, will reboot build new entries?
Ron
no, it won't rebuild.
backup your registry first, before any amendment.
