Strange lock-up of computer when trying to upload photos.
Strange lock-up of computer when trying to upload photos.
Last couple of days, when I try to upload a JPG image file, of a size that complies with the forum limitations, all of a sudden when I press :add the file" my computer locks up very seriously, even a CTRL+ALT+DEL does not do anything, the mouse is paralyzed etc. I have to manually turn off the system (press the On/OFF switch) to shut down. No signs of malware, virus etc. I am running Windows 7 and Firefox browser. Anyone else encountered this issue ?

No problems for me, but first make sure your Windows 7 is up-to-date then turn off any antivirus and try again, often anti-virus drudgery is the (usually temporary) problem.....

Thanks John B. Switched from Firefox to Microsoft IE and somehow uploading was revived. But as you suggested, it is probably a system software problem...
