BTW do you know why windows can't show some jpegs in
the 'thumbnail view' in windows explorer??


Can you find some common denominator for those files?
Maybe they all originate from the same application, or were saved with
special settings?

On WinXP SP1, Nutscrape 7.2 okay, MS Internet Exploder 6.0 exploded.


Before AND after the patch?

On my system (XP Pro SP1), the patch solved the issue of shutting
down.
MS IE version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633.

It also explodes on mine, XP Pro with SP2 and latest patches. IE reports
version 6.0.2900.2180.

Then maybe it is related to some other option settings, e.g. MS
Virtual Machine (just guessing, because I use Sun Java instead of
Microsofts poor version of it). Anyway, whatever the reason, since the
patch (yesterday) Guido's example doesn't shut down my Browser, which
it did before the patch. So the patch seems to work, but perhaps
something else is broken?

As I understand it, the new JPEG patch isn't *supposed* to solve this
shutdown issue (which is really just an inconvenience) but rather fix
a problem which would allow a JPEG to *run an executable* file, a
potentially serious problem.

In other words, don't complain that the patch fails to address a minor
problem which is isn't *intended* to address when it does fix the
major problem it *is* supposed to fix.
