Hello Forum:
I am dealing with a nasty little bugger of a problem that I have on both a Win2k and WinXP machine (different users/computers).
In essence:
Photoshop and Windows appear to be fighting over file ownership of TIF and JPG files. Any application (including explorer) that attempts to open a folder containing these files crashes.
In Pshop, as soon as the folder is opened it crashes. In explorer, the folder will open and the files will all be listed but will initially be represented by the generic Windows flag icon. Those generic icons will then be SLOWLY replaced by the PShop TIF or JPG Icon. About halfway through the list of 40+ files, Explorer crashes and I get a 0x77f8206b Memory could not be Read error. A google of this error results in one entry–and aside from being image related is no help. In other applications, TIF files cause a crash when they are clicked upon (in Quark, for example).
This problem starts randomly (no new software or changes in hardware) and then continues to occur until the computer is reloaded (since I can’t find a fix…). The problem occurs regardless of what user is logged into the system.
I have reset the file types manually to PShop, I have deleted the Prefs file. I’ve logged in as a new user on that workstation.
This is limited to one Win2k machine right now by I’ve seen this on another Win2k (which I reloaded to fix) and a WinXP (same story). My WinXP workstation will open and manipulate the same files with no problems or crashing, so I doubt it’s corruption.
Any ideas? My guess is it could be file type, but I’m open to any solutions.
