I’m having difficulty with the browsing function in elements 2. It will work fine for a while and then slow my computer dramatically. I have a 1gig pentium processor ,512meg. of ram and am running windows 98second addition. Quite often I will end up with disk errors that have to be corrected with my scan disk function. Any ideas?
Thanks.

John,

I’ve had this problem before. I had a folder which contained like 4000 pictures. I split it, and the problem vanished. Also, if your files are big (TIFF of 40Mb +, for example), try to split the folder as well.

I have found that the single, most effective thing I can do to keep PSE running as snappily as possible is to close the File Browser when I’m not using it.

Even though I don’t have any huge (in my estimation) folders full of images, performance benefits from only having File Browser open when I need it.
