in the past i have downloaded photos from my digital
camera and have viewed them in picture viewer, however
recently when i have tried to download there are no
previews of pictures (just red crosses), and when i try
to open previously downloaded images it crashes the

========================================
Do you happen to have Adobe PhotoShop or
Elements installed?

If you do...right click on a .jpg file and choose
Properties. Click the Photoshop Image tab
and uncheck the "Generate Thumbnails" button,
then click OK.

It may also be worthwhile to run disk cleanup to
delete your temp and temporary internet files.

Sorry about the blank reply; I'll finish now. Your problem might be either that you are using software which is incompatible with XP, you are trying to use multiple applications for the same project, not enough memory, it isn't a photo, etc... I could go on and on. But the first thing to check is the permissions for any firewall or virus protection. Also, are you using the new "Windows Firewall" (which can cause more of a headache than it's worth). Your first solution might be to put your mouse pointer on the file and right click; A list of options will appear. Choose OPEN WITH and you'll be presented with the program choices to view the photo with. Since you seem to be new at this, your best choice for now would be to view it with WINDOWS EXPLORER. Good luck and just slow down and do things one at a time.
