| 758432 | 2009-03-22 04:47:00 | I keep crashing when editing a lot of images in Photoshop Elements 6 or checking the images in Explore. On my laptop (which am increasing using in favour of my PC :xmouth: ) I find this. Have 1 and 1/2 Megs RAM on my laptop. Maybe I need 2 Megs ? :eek: Misty |

Maybe the adobe support forums could help also:) www.adobeforums.com Otherwise you could upgrade the RAM...but other things such as GFX card and CPU affect the performance also |

| 758436 | 2009-03-23 06:43:00 | When you say crashing, do you mean my computer crashes, or the computer itself crashes? If you mean my computer Does my computer crash with anything else (I take it this is what you mean by explorer)? ie: if you view any other images, or other files (ie: docs or txt files)?? If it does, a file / or files maybe corrupt |

If it does, a file / or files maybe corrupt Hi Speedy I have taken my time in responding because I wanted to make very sure of what am reporting. Typically I have Photoshop Elements open -- plus Explore (ie right click from "Start" and chose Explore). Also Recycle Bin. What happens is that I have been choosing files to delete and have done a few cycles where I have deleted from a folder, then deleted from Recycle Bin. The crash seems to happen after I have carried out the consecutive delete actions a few times. Though I do one action, then a gap -- then the second delete from the Recycle Bin the system seems to find it too demanding to cope with. Everything freezes - the egg timer just keeps running and running, nothing will close, etc. So I do a Control/Alt/Delete to bring up Task Manager. Then chose "End Task" but nothing happens. So then I have to just hit the off switch as nothing will happen otherwise. Think that is a good description of the trauma ! Just overload ?? Should I be more patient ? Misty :confused: |

| 758438 | 2009-05-12 08:37:00 | You mean Explore all users (if this is XP, youre talking about)? Which opens up the start menu? You dont delete files from the menu like that. Go to start / all programs, select the program right mouse / delete. Thats probably why its crashing. Or just explore all users / select program / right mouse / delete | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Seemed to work okay most of the time...but if I am not supposed to do it, then will stop. What if I went in from My Computer ? - would that be okay ? There is no specific program used -- they are just mostly JPEG's ! Misty |

| 758440 | 2009-05-12 08:51:00 | ? The option isnt in my computer (whats in the menu). If theyre Jpegs, just search for them then delete them (I have no idea why Jpegs would be in the menu). |

| 758441 | 2009-05-12 09:04:00 | Okay, will forget about My Computer. On the laptop (now my main usage), which is where the problem has been occuring I have XP Professional. I go to "Start", right click and chose Explore. The window that opens says at the top left "Start Menu". Then go through the usual folders, and sub-folders containing my data. The area I mostly work on is My Pictures which has all my photos. That is when the problem occurs. If I want to delete a photo, then I do the usual right click and chose delete. As it is an option, and usually works, then why is it there ? What is different from the old Windows ME and Windows 98SE, etc, etc ? They all had "explorer" and that is where you found your documents and photos etc. Misty :confused: |
