    Crashing thumbnails

    I use Irfanview to monitor my collection of photo images, mostly jpegs.
    Earlier this year the thumbnails viewer started disappearing whenever I accessed a folder containing images. At first I suspected that I had too many folders - perhaps 30+ subfolders, each containing a few dozen files, but a clearout produced no improvement.
    I navigate C:\ -> c:\camera -> c:\camera\subfolder - and the program just disappears! The same happens in other folders as the subfolder containing images is reached.
    The machine is a Pentium4 3.2Ghz with 2Gig ram, XPpro v2002 sp2, 137Gbyte free space, and no other apparent problems.
    Irfanview version is now V4, with no improvement.
    Am I Homer Simpson - is there an obvious fix? I tried the faqs, but nothing shows.
    Any advice would be most welcome...

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi steve

    Welcome to the (new) forum

    Did you look at that post here.

    I know, there are some differences between dual core and "hyperthreading", but try that:

    Use your taskmanager and disable the "hyperthreading" function when you use IrfanView (Look under processes) - sorry but i have a german windows version.

    Of course you can post/upload a screenshot of your taskmanager, i will tell you on what tab you have to click on

    Hopefully that would work for you !

      crashing thumbnails

      I eventually switched off the second cpu (even though I don't have one) and it appears to have resolved the problem. Many thanks!!

        Thumbnails not setting options (save current position)

        I have also had thumbnails crash but not all the time.
        I have two machines both intel and both dual core
        one works ok and the other doesnot
        irfanview v4.00 and plugins also v4
        as you can see in the title one computor does not save options and the other does
        I have tried turning off processor #1 but it still does not save options

        any ideas
        Thanks

          more info

          I have also had thumbnails crash but not all the time.
          I have two machines both intel and both dual core
          one works ok and the other doesnot
          irfanview v4.00 and plugins also v4
          as you can see in the title one computor does not save options and the other does
          I have tried turning off processor #1 but it still does not save options

          I modified the i_view.ini file for the open directory and then made it read only.
          That gets it to open in the directory I want.

          The crashing is not fixed by using only one processor.

          There is another problem when folder is clicked on sometimes iview will just close. no message
          I brought iview back up and tried several times and iview would close on different folders
          This happens on both computors
          Hope this gives enough info


          any ideas
          Thanks[/QUOTE]

            Steve:
            That link is not working for me. I get "about:blank" when I click on that link. Can you post the address? Thanks.
