>I would be interested in hearing whether or not, others

have experienced this same problem.

>I am partly curious to know if it is a problem that is

indicative of Win XP?

>
>This problem happens, mainly with PHOTO files and

folders, although it has happened a few times as well
with folders that contain MP3's....but, these folders do
contain album covers.

>Therefore, I believe it is a problem with PHOTOS more

than MP3's, etc.

>I'm not positive, but I *think* it may be happening MORE

with PHOTOS, as jog's, as opposed to GIFs, for
stationary, etc.

>
>- open folders, only to see the icons having a difficult

time forming their icon pictures and after about 2-3
seconds, the folder will shut down. When it does, I
usually lose the Whole Taskbar across the bottom of my PC
screen, for about 5 seconds, at which point, everything
does go back to normal.

>When this happens, I can repeat the process, over and

over and over yet each time when I go into that folder, I
will have it shut down once again.

>Usually, I will have to forego what I am doing and

within a few days, finally get in and delete the
photos/album covers that are in there and once done, the
problem ceases to exist.

>
>- It happened earlier tonight, when trying to get into a

folder full of MP3 for Stereophonics, which also did hold
some Jog's for the album covers, yet this time, as shown
in my attachment, there is a message about the memory etc.

>
>- this does not happen though, with movie, avi, mpeg

files and I haven't any problem watching TV on my ATI TV
card, nor in BS Player, watching movies.

>
>So, I don't think it would be a graphic card problem,

for if it were, I assume that it would also affect the TV
or Movie viewing?

>
>- Although I have uninstalled and reinstalled ACDSEE

when I browse to a folder full of Jpg's it seems to
struggle to form the icons and takes many seconds to
finish sorting out all the icons for these photos.

>This can also happen simply, in Windows Explorer if

there are several photos in the one folder.

>By this, I mean, roughly abut 10-30 photographs, not

hundreds.

>
>I just tried opening a folder with a few photos in it

and not only did it take a few seconds to do, it didn't
form all the icons, and then it stopped responding.

>
>
>It would appear to me, that it is a problem with the

memory, somehow?

>Yet, specifically to do with photos, not films, nor TV.
>This has been going on for several months now.
>
>I'm wondering if it has anything to do with a higher

number of various photos, screenshots, album covers,
etc., than I have ever had installed on my hard drives
before?

>Perhaps there is something that limits the number on a

drive?

>Or, something along these lines?
>
>
>---Below, is a screenshot of the memory problem, but I

don't recall seeing this message before?

>This took maybe 2 seconds in which it showed this memory

message, but you will see that the MP3 icons weren't
forming their picture yet, or in regular time.

>
>After this, I rebooted, clered my cache, cleaned the

registry, etc etc etc and then added some photos I had
just taken with my camera and it seems to be getting
worse.

>Just getting into the folder that contains the temporary

drive letter for the photos, takes about 6 seconds to
open.

>It appears blank for the first 6 then the finally show

up but Explorer seems frozen until about the 7th when the
thumbnails begin to form.

>
>
>
>But, I haven't heard anyone else mentioning any related

sounding problems and don't feel confident that this will
be easily figured out?

>
>
>Thank you in Advance, should anyone have heard of this

before, or have an inkling of what may be!

this could be you are puting too much files in a single
folder, try storing these files in more folders so the
computer don't have to load/preview all the files at
once.
or it could be your pc is too old, your pc has not
enough RAMS. last resort ,reinstall Windows, use upgrade
