Windows Forum / Windows XP / Photos / May 2005XP crashes whenever it has to read folders with many Jpeg files
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.

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. > XP crashes whenever it has to read a folder that has many > jpeg files in it.

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. SignatureJohn Inzer Picture It! MVP return e-mail disabled 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.
