as far as the folder goes does it give you any kind of warning that it is in use by another system ? if not try and rename it then go in to safe mode and remove it from there.next i would need a little more detail about the video games do you have a video card ? if so what kind are they direct x 11 games ? have you checked you're back ground services to see if any thing is running you may not have enough ram or hd space to run them properly what you could try is to run them in admin mode and see if that works if you are using windows 7 or 8 or you could try this

Sometimes, deleting the contents of the folder then the folder itself works.

Are you using WMP ? If so, try VLC.

First:
Assuming you are using Win 7 or below, right click on the folder and look at the properties. Go to the Sharing tab to see if it is shared with something else. If so, unshare.

Second:
If that doesn't work, look at the registry with regedit and go to HKey_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and see if there is anything new or funny looking there. It pays to get familiar with this registry area becase a lot of virus's put things there. Also do a search on the registry for the folder name. Something might pop up.

Third:
Finally, go to the Tools menu item in the folder and in the "View" tab uncheck TEMPORARILY the item marked "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" and see if there is something hidden there. Find out what is hidden there and get advice on what to do. Don't forget to re-check the "Hide" item.

Good luck.

I usually use GOM player. I do try VLC, which does work a bit better most of the time. I prefer the tools that GOM offers.

I have tried deleting the contents and changing the folder name. It still shows up again after any reboot.

The left side vertical numbers sometimes partially disappear. Like from 1-5 or 1-9. I play around and click and they reappear. What's going on? How do you make them reappear?
