Hi.
I'm a big image fan and I have roughly 800 MB worth of pictures in 5 different subfolders under the My Pictures folder of My Documents in Windows XP. I enjoy the fact that XP allows files to be viewed as thumbnails so I can see my pics properly.
When I opened my computer this morning, however, without having done anything unusual the last time I used it, something was wrong. When I tried to fire up my Paint Shop Pro to edit an image, I got a run-time error and the program closed on its own. I attempted to get around that by going into My Pictures, using Open With and it worked. I was able to edit an image and save it to My Pictures. However, when I attempted to view My Pictures, the error had transferred to it.
I double-click on the folder and it opens for a second before the following message pops up:
Microsoft Visual ++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program:C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe
This application has requested Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way...
This now happens every time I try to view anything using thumbnails. Like, say I open my PSP (which works fine now, btw) then try to open a file in My Pictures. The moment the thumbnails show, the program shuts down. The same goes for saving pics in My Pictures.
I tried to do a system restore hoping it would correct the problem, but it didn't.
Is there a kind soul out there who can help me and tell me what to do? I'd be very grateful, really.
Thank you!
