XP and JPEGs

In windows XP while browsing files and folders with .jpg files in it explorer crashes. I believe it is because whatever part of explorer that generates the .jpg preview is not working. Anyone see this b4?
 
I will check the error log (not my machine) but explorer just crashes and it gives me the send report to Microsoft message thing. Not a specific message.
 
In Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / Administrative Tools / Event Viewer there are two active logs (services and applications). They almost always log when an application crashes and usually give some indication why. If its not a service causing the crash then its most likely an application. This is what PrincessGuard was talking about.

And no I haven't seen this before, you might check and see if your memory is ok by running memtest86 or if your running unstable by checking with Prime95. I use to get all kinds of problems with jpg's when I wasn't stable with my old AMD system and 98SE, but haven't ever seen it happen with XP.

Edit: Uninstall your video driver and reinstall maybe. You might also see if your DirectX is ok with dxdiag.exe.
 
i have seen this before on a dell laptop system... its odd, and i don't know the way around it.... try diabling thumbnailing as a way around the problem, not a fix though....
