"although have you ever seen an explanation of why this "stall" occurs, and whether or not it indicates some corruption in either a compressed file or a corruption in NAV?" while i share your curiosity in matters such as this, there are times when i must decide to move on, more or less accepting the fact that finding an explanation would be difficult, time consuming, and possibly not even correct. and if i have found a viable solution, i realize that that is all i needed from the start, so moving on feels okay. many times, getting to the bottom of a problem is helpful. other times it seems besides the point. in the case we are discussing, and i think i linked this fact, after getting the scan to complete (via unchecking the scan within compressed files option), i then made a point of scanning the problem file (folder) specifically, all by itself... and it scanned fine. so the question of why and how could have at that point grown enormously, but i chalked it all up to ghosts in the machine and moved on. interestingly, if i am not mistaken, over time, i went back to scanning within compressed files and all is well again. hth
