XP crashes whenever it has to read folders with many Jpeg files

Posted: 08-01-2003, 04:20 PM
XP crashes whenever it has to read a folder that has many
jpeg files in it. Unlike 98, which does not crash, XP
reads each file separately then gets hung up and crashes .

I have an athlon 1.8 mghz chip

Very frustrating

Any solutions?

Do you get an error? Update your video driver. Try setting the acceleration down on
your present driver.
Right-click your desktop, properties, settings tab, advanced, troubleshoot tab.

An Athlon 1.8 MGHZ chip is just fine to run XP.
What is more important when opening photo files is how much RAM memory you
have.
Manufacturers are selling computers with 128 MB of RAM. These computers are
"Cheap to Buy" and look like a good deal. They are not. The minimum about of
RAM memory to run XP is 256 MB of RAM. Then, if you want to work with large
photo files, the minimum is 512 MB of RAM and better if you have 1 GB of
RAM. This is a problem with XP, regardless of what Microsoft claims. Don't
use XP with anything less than 512 MB of RAM memory. You can get by with 256
MB of RAM memory, but barely when working with photo files.

=================================
Do you happen to have Adobe PhotoShop or
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.

Logged this problem months ago with no luck. Even using
the super-speedy(!) whql ms nVidia drivers etc. Run an
Athlon 1800+ and 512mb DDR.

Problem only occurs for me when adding column 'dimensions'
into explorer pane and sorting on it. This results in
display anomalies the like you have never seen! Can put
together quite a comprehensive set of screenshots
including changes to explorer context menus during the
video corruption if MS ever decide to address this. I
don't buy the corrupt image theory. Only explorer
struggles, my other apps don't.

Also don't have either of the apps listed.

The dimensions column bug will be fixed in Service Pack 2.
