divide by zero when scrolling images in Explorer

I get a 'divide by zero' exception when I scroll in a subdirectory of 'My
Pictures'. This subdirectory is full of .ico, .bmp, .png files that I use for
button images in my Windows Forms projects.

No viruses are found. This has been occurring for a year now...

I don't know if it is a specific file, or just the rendering of the files to
produce icons for the display in Explorer.exe that is the cause.

Anyone have suggestions for me?
 
This does not sound like it is related to dotnet at all.

In any case, I would recommend finding the disk with your OS on it, and
running a repair on it.
 
Actually, I think it does have something to do with .NET
There is no "repair" to run for this problem with an XP setup disk...
Thanks for trying to help.
 
I'm sorry, why do you think it is related to .NET? You didn't mention
anything that has to do with .NET framework, you described a problem with
your operating system. Maybe you should describe how this is a .NET
framework problem.

And I am fairly certain that Win2K, XP, etc, all have a reinstall/repair
type option. The option isn't for one particular problem - it is done to
replace missing or corrupted files that could have caused any number of
problems.
 
Marina: you were right, it is an OS bug and not a .NET bug.

Can you explain how to 'repair' this dll via XP install disk? I am not sure
I've ever tried that...

Thanks for helping, Marina, I appreciate you.

This is most likely caused by a shell extension that you have installed.
Check out ShellExView at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html and see
if you can determine which one is causing your error by disabling extensions
until the problem goes away.





You 'da man!

Now that I've disabled this extension, I am curious to know what
functionality is missing from XP? "Shell Image Property Handler" doesn't mean
much to me, except that is is an OS extension...

THANK YOU ANDY :D
 
This should be an option in the setup program. I haven't done this myself,
but I have had it done for me.

If you are not certain about how to do this, and how to do it safely, you
are probably better off taking your computer to a local repair shop and
having them do it. They should know how to back things up properly and how
to do it safely.
