It sounds like ThumbsPlus is trying to connect to a remote shared drive that you have opened in ThumbsPlus in the past. Right-click My Computer and go to Properties. Disconnect any network drives and anything else that is remote. If this does not solve the problem with ThumbsPlus, try either of the following: • Open the thumbs.ini file from within the Thumbs4 folder and add the following entry under the [Startup] heading: IgnoreNetwork=1 • Delete the thumbs.tdo and thumbs.ini files from within the Thumbs4 folder. This will reset your preferences.
