Problem 1 could be a virus checker.

Do you mean "Windows Explorer" when you say it crashes?

That is often a problem with a poor Windows Shell extension. Try using: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

To fix the first part of your second problem, open the Media Import for your TV Shows folder and click "Add" in the "Apply these tags" section. Then select "Media Subtype: TV Show" from the pop-up list. This will not automatically fix shows you have already imported though. You either need to do that manually or delete the import for that folder and create a new one with the right settings.
