Hello all. I have been browsing these forums for a while, and finding lots of good advice. Now I have a question that I have not been able to find answered here.

When i am casually browsing through my folders in windows xp, I often get a crash follwed by the following error message:

Error Signature...
AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180
ModName: ntdll.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180
Offset: 00011e58

this is not usually a fatal error, requiring a complete system shut down, but it does close all my windows and I find it annoying. I view the contents of my folders as "thumbnails" with unique .jpg's for each different folder. Each folder has it's jpg stored in it's 'self'.

I think these "hang ups" or explorer crashes might be caused by the pictures, because sometimes If I open one of these pictures in photoshop, it will crash that program as well.

I am not really sure what is going on, but hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.

I use Win XP and I have all the current updates downloaded. I have a standard Pentium 4 based computer, that I assembled from standard parts.

can anyone identify this error?? let me know if you need a screen capture or more info.

Thanks in advanced.....

Blackfield.
