Thanks for the quick response. Deleting the thumbs.db file had no effect.

To simplify, here is the condensed version of my troubles.

ANY application that tries to view a thumbnail, be it Explorer, Photoshop,
or IE, will draw the error message "blah blah application has encountered a
problem and needs to close." Clicking any folder containing Jpegs will open
the folder, but with the error message. If I ignore the error message and
double click an image, explorer reloads immediately. If I use Photoshop, I
can navigate to any folder containing Jpegs, but hovering over one to make a
selection will also draw the error because is tries to preview the Jpeg,
again, ignoring the error and double clicking will immediately reload
explorer.

Again, Thanks in advance.

Jason
