Flash Video + Explorer.exe = Crash??

Hello everybody,
I've stumbled upon a new problem which I cannot explain...

If I have a few flash video files in a folder and highlight them my Explorer under Windows Vista causes an error and crashes... this has not happened before...

Vista Business 32 Bit

(I do run SAS on here and it reallocated filetypes... although its still allocated to RealPlayer)

 

First Try Disabling Thumbnails preview and see if its still crashing , this might happen because Vista is trying to create a thumbnails preview of the video and it couldn't.

 

I haven't had the problem before in Vista... so it shouldn't be the cause - also, I like the preview, but I give it a try to see what happens.

Edit:
Yes, it worked.

And now I know what happened.

Before I didn't have the miniature view!

Thank you very much

(I was worried something in the registry is messed up)

PS: can't give you rep now - but I've got to remember to do so tomorrow

 

NP mate if you want to have thumbnails preview yet don't want explorer to crash then try unregistering all flv based filters and try out FFdshow or Klite

 

I'v switched off thumbnails for video folders... that should do the trick.

flv based filers means? Getting rid of the association between real player and flas video?

About the software - the less I run the better for my syste really... so if I can help it... I'd rather not instal stuff.

 

ok FFDShow is free Directshow filters which can play almost all formats in the wild .

 

it happned to me too and i disabled thumbnails

 

You can disable thumbnails just for video folders, that's enough

 

What DetlevCM gave is just temp solution but if you need to fix it permanently then you need to have proper codec pack

and thanks DetlevCM for the Rep mate

 

Ok... small update.

I though, maybe it would be good to instal fddshow - well, it doesn't solve the problem...

(I am perfectly happy with no thumbnails, but just to let you know.
AT vinumsv - reputation to the ones who deserve it )

 

I didn't say it would solve the problem it will prevent futures similar issue from occurring and btw to rectify the issue you need disable the faulty Directshow filter which is now responsible for Playing FLV files

use either CCCP Insurgent or Gspot to find and disable it

 

Thanks.
Gspot runs without isntallation, can't seem to find any errors, I'll have to have a closer look though.

CCCP Insurgent - needs an installation...

 

insurgent needs a installation ?? thats odd for me its just a EXE file

anyway just open Gspot > System > List Codes and other filters

then search for FLV video filter and disable it , now goto the folder which has flv files and enable video preview to see it crashes again ?

 

I can't quite seem to get my head round it...possibly the time (late evening in the UK)
Thanks, I'll look at it again in the morning.

 

Flash 10 makes the whole stuff more stable - as stated somewhere else it also solves the firefox problem - but if you move files, this happens...
