I have searched all over for info to help me, but can't find anything, so I am open to any advice! I have a ton of jpeg files on my EHD. I have no problem opening them on my desktop (about 1.5 years old), but can only open random ones on my laptop. Often when I try to open some of the files the screen freezes. Sometimes part of the folder (containing anywhere from 1 to 200 jpgs) opens, sometimes all, but more then not they freeze up. These are all files to use with Adobe Photoshop 7. All of these files/folders open without problems on my desktop. I usually get the "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem..." message but sometimes I get a Dr. Watson error. I have disabled scripting and all Windows updates are current. Here is the other info I can offer on my laptop:
HP Pavilion zv6000
Windows XP home edition
Internet explorer 6
AMD Athlon 64 Processor
1.25 GB RAM
497 MHz
I'm not great with all the computer specifics, so please let me know if more info is needed! I really need help with this and hope someone out there can help!
THANKS!

can you give the whole dr. watson error plz do they work on any other machines other than your desktop?? have you tried putting the trouble ones onto a cd or flash drive and then trying to open them?
-
I personally haven't tried the files on other machines, but have friends who have with no problems.
I just tried opening the files trying to get the Dr. Watson Postmortem debugger message, but never got it, just a freeze in the machine.
I have the same problem when I try to open them from a flash drive on this computer.
P.S. The fan on my computer seems to be running constantly...is that normal?
THANKS!
