I got a 25KB JPG of a warship from a friend.
If I try to print it using Microsoft Photo Editor XP, it crashes.
I tried it on 4 PC's and it crashes on all 4. (Windows 2000 with Office 2000, 2000 with XP, XP with 2000, and XP with XP). Tried 4 other JPG images and they print fine.
The separate machines print to different printer brands.
Photo editor locks up but not the machine. I can CTRL ALT DEL and end task without Windows crashing.
I can use Photo Editor to save the image to a .BMP and then print it out fine from photo editor.
I can load the same JPG image into IE or import it into Word and it prints fine.
I applied office 2000 SP1 and SP2 patches and I still receive the same problem.
The attempt on PC4 was from a fresh install of photo editor from the office XP disc into Win2000.
All 2000 machines have SP1 and SP2 installed and have all current updates.
Please test your theory with the actual picture (http://www.digitalforces.com/ships11.jpg)
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated
