Thanks Gerry, i have pasted the event viewer messahe below. The files are all
jpeg photos in a folder which is now 1.5GB. I open the folder, the thumbnails
display and then the error message appears. The latest one was "Runtime
Error,
Program C:\windows\explorer.exe, abnormal program termination".
I immediately went to event viewer and the following was in there:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Winlogon
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1002
Date: 4/28/2008
Time: 1:01:28 PM
User: N/A
Computer: PATDESK
Description:
The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted.
