My beoport 5.00 hangs each time it performs the harddisk scan at 97% of step 3 of the process. I had the same problem with 4.83 and I was hoping that the 5.00 update would fix the problemen, but it didn't.

I tried to remove all mp4 and m4v material that was on the same disk that beoport cannot play anyway, but that didn't help either.

Anyone who knows a solution?

That must be very frustrating!!

Enormously! 

Throw it off the edge of the balcony and claim it as accidental damage, haha!!

The action of doing a scan also means it is also reading almost every file on your disk(s).

If any file has a fault in a way that the Windows file handler cannot deal with, then you are likely to get a process hang. The fact it happens in exactly the same place each time means its almost certainly a corrupt file which is causing the problem.

I suggest you run the Windows disk "Error Checker" by opening Windows explorer and right clicking a hard drive, then left click "Properties"

then Click "Tools" then click the button which says "Check Now" next to Error Checking. Do this for each disk on your system.
