When opening a folder with many JPEG files, during
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
