Hi again.
I suspect it has something to do with big hard drives.
I have a RAID motherboard, configured with RAID 0 striping to increase performance,
have 2 100GB IDE disks which are striped into one big one of ~180 GB. I'm using a
"Promise 200 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Drive" driver, all seen as C:
I have discovered that if I share my files and access them from another (XP) computer,
I can browse the files without any crashes!!
After learning that, then tried to access the files from my local machine but through
my network places instead of C:. I then learned that crashes did still happen when
I change folders rapidly, but did occur so often as when I access through C:
I observe this strange, very slow, updating of the icons in the file list when I
work locally, but when I access the files from my other computer, the icon update
is immediate. This might just be because of some load sharing.
So, current status: No problem if I access from another computer.
Still no patch from Microsoft as I know of.
I could add that it is not only Explorer.exe that crashes, if I access the directries
from Word of some picture editor, I get a crash in the file.read dialogue. Therefore,
I believe the problem is in some common file access DLL, but that DLL code is not
executed when files are accessed through the network.
This is all I know at the moment.
Regards
Trond
