XP Picture viewer....

has a weird bug.

On my hols, while Sair was using the Hermes, I thought the memory stick/hdd was causing it to crash, cos whenever we turned a piccie 90 degrees, we had about a 1 in 10 chance of lock up....

the PC was ok without a reboot, AND XP remebered the picture was turned for the next time we looked, but it froze in Picture Viewer...

was gonna try swapping some hardware....until last night, when I did it on MINE as well!

So 2 different PC's......any ideas?

Does it freeze when you view the images from your hard drive?
