      Box wrote this in that post: "It sounds like it could be a graphics card issue.
      I remember some time back there was an issue with thumbnails causing explorer crashes.
      Try looking for ThumbsUp.dll in the sketchup directory at C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015 and renaming it to OldThumbsUp.dllx so that it wont be recognised and see if that fixes the problem. You might need to reboot.
      If it doesn't work change the name back before you forget."

      Why do we have to put up with a 'Workaround'?

        Thanks Rich.

        I must be lucky. I've never had Windows Explorer crash when displaying the contents of folders containing SKPs. In fact it's open right now on my screen as is SketchUp.

        Dave, lucky you, are you running win7 64bit pro?

            Yes. Win7 64-bit professional.

            I wish I could help you. Did you do anything with that DLL file as outlined in Rich's link?

              I think the problem is Baz, it only affects a small number of users with a specific setup. So pinning down what is actually causing it and working out a fix is taking time.
              There have been discussions on the official forum about it but as yet no solution.
              Personally I would suggest that complaining over there where they actually have some control of the software would be more productive. Nobody here is responsible for it but over there the more people that bring it to their attention the more chance of something happening.

                I feel your pain.

                Only thing I can say is hit them up at their place.

                  Is that poor punctuation, or are you trying to tell me something?

                    No, if I put the comma before Baz I would have been saying the problem was Baz.
                    However, I think I need to edit.

                      Yeah, point taken, but I'm a one forum sort of guy, actually an 'only one forum sort of guy', and I know that the team at Sketchup keep a very close eye here, so here's hoping...

                        Box, much as I love you, you are prevaricating.

                              Not at all, Baz. Read it this way.
                              I think the problem is Baz (pause) the donkey is more attractive than the sheep.
                              Or
                              I think the problem is (Pause) Baz the donkey is more attractive than the Sheep? Whose name isn't important.

                                I think you are wrong about the donkey.

                                          It was variation of one of my sometimes successful chat up lines.

                                          As In G'day you look like you've got some Australian in you!? No! Ok then fair enough. (Pause) would you like some?
