Windows Explorer crashes while generating thumbnails
Greg Wheeler
thumbnail generation, explorer crashes, apologizes for
inconvenience, then closes. This only happens in certain
folders, not in others. If I copy the affected folders
from my 80gb ATA 100 drive to either cd, or dvd, or a
slower 18gb ATA 66 hard drive, then explorer usually
opens the same folder, and produces all the thumbnails
with no problem, although at an obviously slower pace.
Sometimes I get Error message as follows:
Explorer.Exe Application Error
The instruction at "0x77f580db" referenced memory
at "0x00730075", the memory could not be "written". Click
ok to terminate the program.
I have a Pentium 4 2.8ghz, premium Intel motherboard, 1
gigabyte of memory (DDR), I have tried each of the two
memory chips individually in slot 0, and swapped
positions of the two together, and same result. I have a
2gb partition assigned to serve as Windows virtual memory
exclusively. Even allowing Windows to manage virtual
memory using the C drive makes no difference. I can't
imagine both memory chips having the same problem at the
same time, even used individually, and the two chips are
different brands.
Any ideas what could be the problem? I hope that I don't
have to organize all my digital photo files into really
small folders to avoid this problem.
For example, one folder that always crashes, has 82 JPEG
files, totalling 188 mb's. I should think that Windows
with this much memory should be able to handle a folder
that size. Please advise me if I'm wrong. I have tried
moving all of My Documents to a D drive, instead of on
the C drive, also made no difference.
Please help!!
Thanks

Elements installed?
If you do...right click on a .jpg file and choose
Properties. Click the Photoshop Image tab
and uncheck the "Generate Thumbnails" button,
then click OK.

>Hi John, thank you for help, I do have Adobe Photoshop
7.0.1 installed, I unchecked the generate thumbnails box,
and I can explore everything, and when opening a really
large folder, the response is rapid. Microsoft slide show
still works great, and that seems to have cleared up the
problem. This has been driving me nuts, thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Heh heh...I'm not nearly as brilliant as the
guy I copied that fix from. I am happy to be
able to share it with you though.
