    It could be either Irfanview or Windows. Most likely I'm thinking Windows more though. Too many bugs bunnies. LOL! :-)

    Not sure how the term "bugs bunnies" is to be helpful. :/ But I think I have a strategy to minimize the blue screen event to happen again.

    First, I'll investigate if irfanview has a new version available and use that.

    Maybe I had too many tabs open in TB or something that reduced available RAM.

    The first sign of problems was when I would open an image as an attachment from email and go directly to using irfanview instead of saving the attachment first before I started to edit it - and irfanview would lock up or go into "not responding" mode.

    But if I save the email attachment as a clearly defined file first, and then launch irfanview, then the lockup doesn't seem to happen.

    Maybe it's a combination of things that ultimately triggered a blue screen error.
