explorer.exe error

grahamor

Hi,

I just loaded a few new photos from my camera onto my pc. Everytime i open the folder, it hangs and then shows a data execution prevention error, saying windows has closed explorer to help protect the computer, then i get explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Could one of the photo files be corrupt ? the event log error is below

thanks for any help

Do you still have a copy on the memory card/camera?
Try deleting the photographs and folder via command prompt, then copy the photographs over again.
