Batch Process Crashes Computer. Help!

Hi There
I am trying to run a batch process through photoshop cs3 on Vista and it keeps crashing part way through. The process opens existing files, runs a sharpening action, saves and closes the file. It seems to work for about 5 minutes and then my whole computer just shuts down. I'm trying to run this through a few hundred files that are small res. Is there a limit on # of files that batch can run?

any information would be handy...I have over a thousand files I need to run this on! Thanks

No, not that I'm aware of. The question is, whether your source files are actually all intact, if you may have user permission problems or if you are simply running out of memory at some point due to the filters used. In the last case, adding some purge commands might help (though I'm not certain if this is supported)...

You may also have an open loop in your action. Make sure after you process an image that you Close the file. If you forget, then you will run out of memory and then bad things happen.
