Blue screen when accessing .jpg files Thursday, January 10, 2008 at 4:14 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by dferguson (5 messages posted) I'm on a Compaq Evo N610c laptop, running Win2K. It gives me a blue screen crash whenever it gets anywhere near a .jpg file. For example: Using Windows Explorer to browse to a folder holding .jpg files; Using MSIE or Mozilla to browse the hard drive, when I get to a folder containing a .jpg file; Trying to import a .jpg file into a MS Word document; Using Kodak Imaging to open or browse to a .jpg file; Virus scan returns no problems. Defragged, disk checked, still no joy. Checked my file associations, there was nothing for a .jpg file, so I created an association. Then went to find a .jpg file and crashed again. The blue screen is very quick. Haven't been able to get the error code. But when I get the blue screen, the computer never shuts down - I have to force it by holding the power switch, then start all over again. Any clues? Thanks...
