Problems w Irfanview ? It disappears.

Supposedly this is not Irfanview's fault, it's my
system, so I wonder if anybody else has had it?

The way I most often use Irfan is:
I'll paste an image from Clipboard over an Irfanview
image that came from any handy file icon.
I'll edit that image, often cropping, cutting,
pasting, adding text, sharpening and reduce color
depth.

I go to Save As, and the Irfanview window disappears.
Gone. All lost. It seems worse after heavy editing,
and worse in Save As than Save. It might happen
about 1/3 of the time that I save after editing.

Anybody else had that problem?

Thanks!

What format are you using as Save As?
TIF files take a lot space compared to JPG.

It never gets that far. It happens about a
second after the Save As window pops up, before
I can enter anything.

This used to happen to me after I began using Micrografx
together with Windows XP (this was the first time I'd had
a problem with new/old software on a PC). REALLY
ANNOYING! Much as I do not like Adobe Photoshop
Elements, that did solve the problem... 8^(

Have you tried reinstalling IrfanView, in case some other software
installation clobbered/downgraded one of its files?

I did upgrade a few levels. I guess I could try
an uninstal first.

Irfan said he thought it might be shell addon.
....like an item in the right-click menu, I guess.
I have no idea how to troubleshoot shells.

Did you install the plugins released after the last batch?

Yup. I normally DL and instal the plugins along w the program.

I tried
that a few weeks ago and immediately started having problems.

Similar problems?

I
immediately reinstalled the last plugin batch and all was well.

So, you reinstalled an *older* plugin batch?

I reverted so fast I can't remember exactly what went wrong, so I
can't say for sure that would fix your problem.

"reverted"???

As a work-around I would suggest copying the entire image to the
clipboard before saving, just in case.

Laugh! I do. Thanks! That works! Unless I forget.

Since something is causing the Irfanview process to die, you might consider
the possibility of a hardware problem, especially faulty memory (RAM).

Are you overclocking your system? This often causes flaky memory due to the
timings being reduced, but it may only be evident when doing memory
intensive operations, particularly ones where data integrity is required.
If you are overclocking, try going back to the default system speed and see
if that fixes it.

You could also download Memtest86 to test your memory, however a proper
test will take a few hours to run (best do it overnight).

That would cause other software to die...
