"My pictures" folder

[Guest]

Hello

Whenever I try to access the "my pictures" folder (either via the "start"
menu or via "my computer", the folder appears to open and then freezes. I
then have to end the task using "task manager".

Does anyone know how I can solve this?

Thanks in anticipation.

====================================
One possibility:

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.

==================================
Oh...well, sometimes that's the fix...

If there are any additional details you would
like to share like other problems you are
experiencing with your system and recent
programs / updates that have been installed
it may help in suggesting a solution.

If no other problems exist...it may be worth a
try to reduce your Graphics Hardware Acceleration.
And...if it makes an improvement, it's a strong
indication that you need to update your video
driver.
