When Viewing "my Picture" Folder In Thumbnail The Related Application Crashes
Nov 10, 2008
Problem: When I try to work with a picture in an application the application crashes when the "my pictures" folder is viewed in Thumbnail.
examples:
1) From windows explorer when I go to My Documents click on My pictures and select thumbnail view and explorer crashes
2) if a picture is embedded in an email and I right click and select save "save picture as" the "my picture" folder pops up in thumbnail view and I get the error "ms outlook has encountered a problem...." if I report or don't report the error outlook crashes.
3) If I try to insert a a picture into excel...inset>picture>from file. The application opens the "my picture" folder in thumbnail view and then excel promptly crashes.
4) If I try to change the wallpaper on my computer and go to browse which opens "my picture" folder in thumbnail view and guess what...the application crashes. Here is get the error
"Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem and needs to close." I click on DEBUG and get the error "Dr Watson postmortem has encountered a problem and needs to close" when I hit DEBUG again nothing happens.
I am using windows XP pro and MS office business edition 2003. I have a dell latitude d820 and I have recently have had the hard drive cleaned and everything reinstalled up to service pack 2 (service pack 3 eliminated that fax console which I use so I am NOT using SP3)
Thumbnails do not show the correct picture of image files.It appears that the thumbnail is of the edited version of the image.The image file opens correctly My neighbor has the same problem and we cannot find a cause or fix.
It's not all the time. Usually in folders with larger amounts of photos in them. Doesn't make any sense though. I have 1.5 gigs of RAM (PC3200 at that). I can't imagine my pc can't keep up with populating some thumbnails. Can anyone point me to some literature on this?
my music folder changed to a picture and i installed tweakUI and repaired the folder icon, but the picture is still there. i also changed the folder options to see if the picture was a hidden file but there wasn't any hidden filed in the'my music' folder. i don't what else to do.
On XP sp2 when opening or uploading jpegs in a folder such as when you do to upload onto a myspace account i.e., to keep it in thumbnail view each time you browse the folder to select the photo, changing it to thumbnail view to select photo each is what I have to do over and over.
I want to open .jpg files using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, and I have changed the file association to do that. The problem is, when I click on the "open image for editing" button, it opens Paint. I want it to open Photoshop. There appear to be no options (or any other) menus available.
I have a shared folder which contains many folders for many users on my network and to make users folders recognisable we chose to fix a folder picture of every folder with the picture of the folder owner. The problem is that those folders never have a constant folder picture on all of my network computers as the picture always changes for some reason, I've tried to set permissions on thumb.db file
I'm absolutely dumbstruck by what just happened. I was a little too quick with my clicking, and instead of opening the folder containing my pictures, I dragged it into another folder called "14941b93d3ad9f41aa7df524fe". I will refer to it as the folder of doom. The folder contains two sub-folders
I'm wondering about deleting the contents of my temp folder. There are some folders in it that have items related to my Norton Scanner and some related to Outlook Express. Also theres the cookie and temorary internet folders. If I delete these enitre folders will it harm the programs at all?? Is it safe to just select everything in the temp folder and delete it?
I'm suffering with multiple application crashes recently.In the event viewer this was reported:Hanging application iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2900.2180, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
My pc won't boot windows. When I turn it on it gives the following message:"X300 SE 128MB BIOS P/N 113-A33406-100"Not exactly sure what is going on. I think it is either memory related or bios related, but I could be wrong.
It seems that whenever I view a picture it is saved in this folder, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer". Where do I find this folder on my pc so I can delete its contents? And how do I prevent pictures from being saved in this folder?
I've tried several times to delete a folder from My Pictures Folder but when I power up the computer the next day the folder is still there. I've tried removing the green dot from the read only box in properties this has not worked. Can anyone help me remedy this?

I wanted to log onto a machine as admin and set the screensaver for all users to a certain screensaver.....MY PICTURE SLIDESHOW but it doesn't seem to be working. I was able to change the wallpaper, but I was told you had to do a registry tweak in order to do the screensaver.
I'm using Windows XP and I've been having problems with some MP3 files in regards to album artwork and tagging. I've discovered that it's my album folders that have been tagged (most likely by me) to have a custom Folder Picture.I want to remove all the Folder Pictures from my music album folders. I fear I will have to do one by one (which is a LOT!) unless I can find a reverse procedure in the program I suspect caused this to happen. That program is Tag&Rename, and I suspect I accidentally added custom pictures to these folders when I was adding album art to the individual music files
Whenever I double click on a picture in my pics folder it refuses to open it up to a bigger window that shows the pic enlarged. I also cant use any of them as a picture for my desktop.this is what the window that pops up states..
when I try to move a file using "Move To Folder" Windows Explorer says it has encountered a problem and must shutdown then after I close that dialog (send error report/or not) Dr Watson Post Mortem Debugger does the same computer locks up except I can use Task Manager to reboot.
Everything seems to be working without a problem. And after running numerous virus scans and spyware scans, I don't pick up any problems. However, every time I open up a folder which has some of my movies in it my computer hangs. Actually only windows explorer hangs, everything else functions fine, but my taskbar becomes un-clickable and the folders hang. I then close the drwtsn process and it all resets. I don't really want to delete the folder with my movies so is there any way to do anything about this?
I am using Windows XP Home OS. I have formatted a CD-R disc using Direct CD format utility. When I try to create a new folder on this CD and rename it after the "new folder" appears, the system crashes and reboots itself. I have been able to do this without any problem before and this has suddenly just occurred. I can't be sure if this is the first time I have tried this since updating to SP2. Can this be a problem with Windows Explorer?
alrighty, here's what's happening. theres a folder with a ton of music in it that I created for the sole purpose of gathering it all in one place. now, when you rollover the folder icon, double click it, explore it, search it, open it, etc, you get the send/dont-send windows error and explorer crashes and restarts when you click dont-send.

"Application Data" is taking up about 600MB total across all the users on my computer.
Its located: C:Documents and Settings*user name*Application Data
So basically, what is it? What's it do? Is it OK to delete? Etc.

My operating system is Window 2000.Last Friday my laptop was infected with UnSpyPC, a Quicklink toolbar and 6 large icons.Thanks to HiJackThis and Spyware removal programs etc I think I have gotten rid of the problematic crap. However now I seem to have ended up with a few corrupt Folders/Files.Whenever I try to run a Norton Antivirus scan or any number of Spyware removal programs such as Spybot, Spysweeper, Ewido, Ad-Aware etc they all get stuck or crash on one particular general data Folder. Explorer.exe also crashes and generally freezes the whole system when trying to access or search this folder
I've recently had a problem when opening many programs such as Microsoft Office, iTunes, etc. When I try to open them Windows Installer appears and there is an error message stating that an error occurred while attempting to create the directory C: DocumentsandSettings/AllUsers/Application Data - then the program fails to open. When I found this Application Data folder and tried to open it there is a message saying it is corrupt and unreadable. Any ideas as how to repair this folder? as I currently cannot open many programs on my computer due to this error. Thanks in advance! btw I have Windows XP Pro
This may seem trivial, but it's bugging me. I have a windows XP and i have the windows classic theme. Every time I put a picture as my wallpaper the color around the words under my icons doesn't blend in with the picture but stays a solid color, so there's like little boxes of blue of white. How do I make those icon words blend in with the picture?
I am confused, but I will describe this best I can: explorer.exe crashes when viewing folders or anything built on explorer.exe (I guess) at exactly 11 seconds in on them. It also randomly crashes every couple hours. Im extremely confused by all this
When I open a folder in My Documents, the contents usually appear in a smaller-sized window and the items in the folder are shown in "Tile" view.What I would like to happen all the time when I open a folder in My Documents is for the contents to appear in a "full-screen"-sized window, and the items in the folder to be shown in "Details" view.In order that I do not have to continually change the window "size" and the "View" every time I open a folder, I was wondering if there was a way for me to set my computer so that my preference is permanent.
Recently when i put on my canoscan gear to be able to scan some photos in ever since then my computer would not let me open any of my pictures or even view them as thumbnails with my windows picture and fax viewer, it lets me look at the BMP files in paint but it won't let me look at the JPG files in paint for some reason. Becuase my windows picture and fax viewer wasn't working i tried to suss out why and it said error loading C:WINDOWSSystem32shimgvw.dll, so from then i thought i just needed to get that shimgvw.dll file back in system32.
