The implication of what you said above is that this is in response to a 
previous thread on this or a related problem.  If that's true, please
provide the background.  Otherwise:

Without any of this, I can think of a few pat answers:

1. Try the latest snapshot.
2. Use 'mount -X' (see 'man mount').
3. Run 'rebaseall'.
4. Make sure your Windows system is up-to-date with patches.

All of these options could be relevant based on the topics you covered
above.  Knowing relevant history of this issue (as implied) and your 
setup might limit the list.
