[Shotimes] RE: IRFANVIEW

[Ron Porter]

I believe that Paul Nimz first mentioned it to the list around 3-4 years
ago, and I first started using it then. I have upgraded versions 5 or 6
times, and I have never had an issue with it. A couple of the earlier
versions had some bugs, but no system issues.

I run it on the 98SE desktop at home, and my XP Pro business laptop and my
wife's XP Home laptop run it also with no issues.

Do you have Norton Utilities? Might be a physical bad spot on your HD.

Ron:
 I had a total computer meltdown after trying to use this. I finally did a
hard format of the HD and reinstalled everything as new to fix it. Don't
know what happened but it was caused by IRFANVIEW. Even attempting to look
at the subdirectory that contained IRFANVIEW would instantly lock the
machine up. Rebooted in DOS mode to try and delete the files and it still
locked the computer solid when trying to view those files.  Mouse frozen.
Control-Alt-Delete would not respond. Only way was to turn the power off.

Maybe just my machine but thought I would put out a warning.
