WMP Music view no longer functioning correctly

I'm running latest version WMP 12 on Windows 7. The general top-level view of
all music in the library (ie view obtained by clicking Music in left hand
menu column, rather than Artists, Album, Genre etc below) is no longer
functioning. Specifically, it displays only a single album artwork and title
on the left hand, and all tracks are listed continuously ie not
differentiated by album as should be the case. Also, the column heads are no
longer responsive (ie cannot click on them to select by Title, Contributing
Artist etc).

Other views (by Artist, Album etc) are functioning normally. I've tried
repopulating the library, but the same things keep happening.

I have a very large music library (100K + tracks) and I wonder if WMP 12
just cannot handle the amount of computing necessary to make this view
functional (ie recently adding some extra files has passed some sort of
threshhold. I should add, however, that I have the exact same library working
perfectly well on my office computer on Windows XP and WMP 11 and similar
processor.

Is there anything I can do?

Would it be possible to post a screenshot of this? Just upload it to an
image sharing website like http://imageshack.us and post the link here.

I also suggest that you post your description and the screenshot to the
Windows 7 Media Forum at
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...omedia/threads
The people there (including some Microsoft employees) might be able to
help you better, while there aren't many repliers in this newsgroup
anymore (and no one from MS).

Regards
