Hello everyone,
I too was experiencing the crashes in explorer when I would open certain pictue folders.
The error was application error 0x------- at referenced memory ------- could not
be written. The numbers are not always the same so that is why I put dashes.
Today I was determnined to fix this problem. What I can say is I HAVE fixed it!!!!!!!!!
I had seen lots of posts about files names and the amount of charaters of the file
names and directories. This didn'ty make sense because I could pull up the directories
and pictures on my kids computer that is on the network. The kids pc is pretty much
the same as mine- so made no sense.
SO, I surmised that it something that was different. I had seen reference to .avi
files being the problem. I didn't have .avi files but I did have two video files
that I found are working properly. When I tried to run them it said that the codecs
were not found or correct and they didn't work. So I moved these two files to a
temp directory only to have my /my pictures directory totally crash. So I erased
these files and NO MORE PROBLEMS!!
I would say if you have your computer on a network get in and check to see if you
have any video files in the folder that seems corrupted and copy them off somewhere
or erase them and see if it works as great as it did for me.
Good luck!
Diane
