Weird problem

[stormy78]

Earlier, whenever I would open My Pictures, it would freeze up and I couldn't open anything or close it out. I use Windows XP Pro and just did a clean install just to be safe. Has anyone had this problem before?

Maybe you have a lot of pictures and not enough RAM. I did that in college to freeze up Macs.

did you set xp to display pictures in thumbnail? this usually requires a lot of ram

 

[stormy78]

Yeah, but I have a few others set up like that and they worked fine. It was just that one folder.

Try changing the folder's view from thumbnails to titles. Since it won't generate a preview of the pciture, it might stop that freezing behavior.

Oh I stopped it alright lol. I did a clean install, which is something I had been meaning to do for awhile anyway.

well its good that its fixed but maybe you should change it now to prevent it from happening again
