How to "Fix" MC if it is Hanging or Crashing
MrC:
I haven't said it, but thought it. This is a great piece of work glynor.

As soon as I started using the library, the behavior of MC19 changed significantly. Previously, I never had any freezing issues or other hiccups. Now MC19 will freeze up for 30-60 seconds at a time and it will often go totally unresponsive when I try to close the application. I wanted to use the library so that I could analyze my files' audio and use the adaptive audio feature but with such instability it's not worth it.
My media files are stored on a network drive (library database is stored in default location) so I will see if your suggestion on disabling that option helps.

Glynor,
Your suggestion on the wiki to:
One other issue you can encounter relates to a particular option in MC. If many of your media files are stored on a slow external or network disk which often "disconnects" (or goes to sleep), performance in MC can suffer when viewing large lists of files. If you have your files on a slow disk like this, and you find that MC hangs for a long while when first launching, or when first opening a particular view in the tree, then try:
Options > Tree & View > Advanced > Display missing file image in lists: Disable
Completely fixed the 30-60 second hangups I was experiencing after having started to use the library feature of MC19 (my media files are indeed on a network drive). Great work on this guide, never would have found that on my own. As a suggestion for the wiki, I was also experiencing total lockups when trying to close MC19 after having viewed videos in my library, which disabling this option also fixed.

glynor;
THANK YOU for this! I installed MC19 a about 2 weeks ago on a fresh w7 installation and was having terrible troubles with stability. I used your guide and walked myself through the trouble shooting you've provided here and I fixed it!
This is a great tool to have and I am glad it is stickied.

Thanks for the note! I'm thrilled that it helped.

On the very rare occasions iv had issues identifiable as an MC issue, i'm afraid this website has been lacking in terms of reference help. Like a month back when transitioning from standard view into display view would cause a hang, i looked for a solution but couldn't find one.
No problem it fixed itself. Anyway this guide looks like a first point of call if i ever encounter a similar problem in the future. Thanks very much for taking the time Glynor it will be invaluable i'm sure. Also thanks to the developers for making such a complex bit of software incredibly reliable.
