Just an update for was has been a recurring problem on my Dell/Intel/WinXP dual-core PC.
Running WinVista Home on my Dell/Intel Quad-core and using the Thumbnails I have not seen any crashing yet. Not at all what I expected.
I still am using the same IrfanView 4.00 setup, both PCs have the patched 4.00 to permit the call-up of the IrfanPaint add-in.
Just reporting this so that Irfan might not be chasing ghosts in the code. Perhaps it is not so much the multi-core problem thought. Perhaps it is a combination of the OS (Vista might be better than XP for this?) and the processor (the Quad may be better than the Dual for the task pass-off or sharing between cores?).
