Windows 7 and picture viewing

[Propain]

I got Windows 7 a few weeks ago, when I view My Pictures it gives me BSOD. Is this a common thing, everything else works great.

What type of pictures? jpegs or BMP etc...

If you right click on a pic and select Open With - What option do you have and have you tried them all.

The STOP Error code can be googled.

theyre all jpeg, I just go into the folder and click on the picture to view as I always did for many years. Ill do a code thingy when I get home tonight, I thought there might be a common fix . Sometimes the screen will popup with tonnes of dots to a point where ai cant see anything and sometimes it does that dump thing.

ok thanks

Hi as Ezy said you need to figure out what program is trying to open the file.
The program that is trying to open the file may be the problem.
Try right clicking and look at properties and see what program is selected as the default to open it.

It you just want to view the file, try selecting the file and then right clicking on it, instead of selecting open select "Preview".

In Windows 7 you can also select "Show Preview Pane" in the upper right hand corner of the window.
This will show you a larger version of any picture you select.

ok first it was pictures now its when I play Warcraft...not cool... is there a way I can post the memory.dmp file here to figure it out?

The game starts fine but when I put it under load , like when there is a lot of people in game it just goes haywire, colors fly alll over then eventually she freezes up.

are you overclocked?

[Propain]

no not overclocked, I called the dude at the pc store down here and he said maybe one of my ram modules is probably burnt. Just gives me an excuse to buy a Asus ATI Radeon 5770 1GB PCI-E DDR5


Then hes gonna take my card for testing and maybe an rma.
