when I click on my pictures it shows up as "not responding" but eventually opens after 5 minutes or so! Then when I open a folder to view pics and then try to go back to main pictures library I have to wait another 5 mins or so. This happens each time I open or close a pictures folder. I do not believe that this is because I have too many pics or too little memory as I have recently upgraded to to a sony VGN-NR11S/S Laptop which has 2 gig of memory and I have not added that many pictures of late.
Also my Photoimpression software from Arcsoft has also stopped working, could this be a coincedence I wonder?
Any ideas? Please let me know as I like to view my pictures regularly and find the waiting for them very frustrating.

Hey, just read your post and problem. I am having exactly the same issue with my pictures folder not responding. I thought it may have been my HP Photoessentials software and uninstalled it to no avail. This problem just started out of the blue. I was wondering if you have found a solution as of yet.

Hit Enter.
Restart computer.

After following these instructions, I was unable to VIEW any of my photos in My Pictures folder. The thumbnails will not open and I cannot use another program to open them. Not a good fix.
