Explorer hangs when entering some directories

Hello, everybody!

For a few days, I've had the same, reproducable problem. Whenever I enter
certain directories (own pictures,...), Windows Explorer Hangs. After a few
seconds, this is recognised by the system and explorer restarted.

Is there any way to overcome this? I can open the pictures in the Windows
Picture Gallery without problems.

My System: Intel-MB, Core 2 Quad 2,4GHz, 2GB DDR2-800, 2x RAID
1-SATAII-Arrays, GeForce8800GTX AC3 KO

What changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?
Did you add any files to those directories? If yes, what type of files?

Re: Explorer hangs when entering some directories

Nothing changed. All directories in which this error occurs hold only JPEG
and RAW-photos. I can view every one in the Windows Picture Gallery and even
the Save as.. window.

Thanks for the quick responde.

Re: Explorer hangs when entering some directories

Are you displaying the folder contents in thumbnail view, and if so what is
your RAW codec?

Re: Explorer hangs when entering some directories

In the "Save as..."-box, I can change to any view and in explorer, it doesn't
matter, it won't work.

Only one of the directories contains RAW-Files and I use the Sony-Codec
supplied with my camera. But in the Picture Gallery, I can view all my
RAW-Files withour problems.


Thanks
