Hey T.Boogie,

I would suggest forcing SSL to analyze all your files by holding down the ctrl key and clicking on the 'analyze files' tab.
Once its done analyzing look through your 'all' section and delete ANY corrupt files found.

If it crashes when analyzing files please read this article and do what is suggested -->serato.com

That would be a good first step if you're noticing a slow OS outside of SSL.

How much hard drive space do you have left on your internal drive?

In conclusion to this...serato was crashing during scanning files. when i re opened serato it would try to continue scanning files and crash again. however i noticed the smart crate was glowing blue.i deleted the smart crate restarted serato and it finished the scans it was tryin to do.all files scanned in with no problems ..the smart crate some how was crashing the program

so now all 198,634 including duplicate files are re analyzing ..so far 2,200files scanned. so far so good...
gotta get rid of the rest of my duplicates..but think this will be scanning till tomorrow..hope it gets done have a party. at 8pm tomorrow

scanning is going great. it froze one time .there was no song at bottom of screen but there were two songs being analyzed.
i wrote them down ten after 20 mins i ad to force close Serato. I restarted Serato, found the two files one at a timw and scanned them as i found them each.they both scanned through sucessfully.

so i it analyze again to see status and the number went down to 11948.so now its half way through.but i was thinking should i have hit the xtrl key first or no

Holding ctrl and clicking on 'analyze files' will force SSL to analyze every file in your library.
You don't need to do that.

If you deal with any freezing or crashing when analyzing follow the steps in that article I linked you to.
When you re-open SSL simply click the analyze files tab and it should start where it left off.

Let me know how you get along:)
