SU2015 files Crash Windows Explorer repeatedly. Win 7
-
This is something I've had randomly happen but now has gotten out of hand. Often if I'm in folder and I select a SU2015 file Windows explorer crashes. Today, I opened a folder in explorer and selected every type of file, .dwg, .bak. doc, etc, one after the other. As soon as I clicked on a .skp Explorer crashed. I repeated it several times. Anyone experience this? I don't recall this in 2014 or any previous version.

I too had a real problem with Windows Explorer crashing, tried all the "fixes" I could find on the web but no joy. Then, maybe a month ago I installed a program called Fast Picture Viewer, not because of the Explorer crashes but because all of my PS thumbnails had for some reason reverted to just a generic PS thumbnail. Did some research and this program claimed that, among other things, it would take care of this problem. Had a free trial so I gave it a try, and not only did it fix the PS thumbnail problem, but I have not had an Explorer crash since (would have had probably two dozen crashes by now).
Could be a coincidence but I really doubt it.
It normally costs about 15 bucks but I got it on special for $9.99. Don't know if this price is still available.
Just passing this along in case anybody else is having the Explorer crash problem and might want to give this a try. -
