The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional
This article was previously published under Q324474 SYMPTOMS When you open a folder in
Windows Explorer that contains a .tif file, Windows
Explorer may generate an access violation, and may stop responding (hang)
when it tries to display the thumbnail image. CAUSE This problem occurs with .tif files that contain many
channels.
In this case, the size of the SamplePerPixel value that is set in the file is larger
than the GDIplus is expecting, which causes heap corruption. Windows Explorer stops responding
the next time it references a field in this structure.STATUSMicrosoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
