Problem

I’ve tried different thumbnail sizes and it doesn’t seem to matter what size it is, it just has problems loading thumbnails. The more pictures that are in the folder, the worse it is. I know Explorer wasn’t really designed to handle loading thumbnails for 10,000+ pictures, especially over a 100 MBit network connection… but this is really bad in comparison to Windows XP Pro.

Under the Physical Memory heading, look at the value that appears to the right of Total. In this example, I’ve got 261,616K (roughly 256 MB) of physical RAM installed. Your value may be different, and if your system uses an inexpensive “shared RAM” video adapter you may discover that you have less physical RAM than you thought. Read more »
