strange one this...

XP (Home) seems to be crashing whenever it tries to display images (maybe just jpgs - can't work it out). Sometimes crashing before/during login, or starting explorer, etc. but always before there's any chance to do anything.

Anyone got any ideas???

I have run into that problem myself. What had happened was the incorrect video driver had been installed. See if you can either reinstall the video driver or download a new one.

ok, I'll try that and post back what happens!

cheers.

well, it seems to be sorted out now - although it got worse before it got better, was crashing during log-in every time so switched to vga mode, managed to find a new driver, installed it, updated xp to sp1 and now it all seems to be working again. Not sure which step was the critical one, but hopefully it is fixed properly...
