E-Machines, P4, 2.93GHz, 1.5GB RAM, Win Xp, Norton Internet Security.
When I open a folder of jpeg images (say 15 images at 2MB each), the
thumbnails appear very slowly.... maybe 20-30 seconds. When they do
appear, some are full size thumbnails and some are smaller. If I then
click REFRESH, they all appear at full size.
If I close the folder and reopen it a few minutes later, all the
thumbnails are INSTANTLY displayed at full size.
Now, here is where it really gets spooky!
When I open the jpeg folder for the first time and the thumbnails start
to appear slowly, if I scroll down to look at the last thumbnail before
it is fully displayed, the thumbnail images start to corrupt and the
computer freezes. When I CTRL+ALT+DELETE and End Task, I notice that
when the desktop reappears, Norton I.S. is missing from the System Tray.
I ran Norton Anti Virus and found nothing. Then I ran Spybot, and
Adaware and found nothing significant. After deleting the few things
found by Spybot and Adaware, the problem still persists.
Any ideas on how to fix this weird problem???
