GRABMI xvid video file errors!

**GrimL337** · July 1st, 2008, 11:31 AM

So, I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and I can't seem to understand it fully. Basically, whenever I open a folder that has an xvid-encoded video file in it, windows explorer sends an error message saying "were sorry, windows explorer needs to close". Then, upon further investigation of files associated with this error I find that there is a lone text file in my \Local Settings\Temp folder which has a name like this "7f2a_appcompat.txt". Every time a new error of the same kind occurs, another type of file with similar contents appears, with a different initial name before the underscore.

Here is the contents of the file folder:

I bolded the line of code which seems most suspicious and pertaining to the problem. I think that this file is restricting my access on xvid-encoded video files. Also, every time a new error occurs, the file from the previous error is deleted, and the new one takes its place. All of my attempts at getting rid of this sequence of errors has been futile.

Any help that you guys can offer?

-Thanks

That text file is just the windows reporting (where it asks you if you would like to send the error to MS) - that's the file that is sent.

As for the cause, it could be a codec issue or a 3rd party program. Does this occur straight after going to said folder, or only when you execute (or hoever over) the file?

Oh, I feel like an idiot -.-. The error occurs straight after going to said folder containing 1 (or more) xvid files.

Ok! Initial guess before I leave work is that it's being caused by the program that opens these files. Check your file association and change the program that opens that type of file to another media player (in fact, try downloading VLC player here: www.videolan.org/vlc and use that instead).

If that works, then it points to codecs.

I use VLC.

**GrimL337** · July 1st, 2008, 03:42 PM

Update, I have tried switching the designated opener from VLC to other programs, and my windows explorer still crashes when I open the folder containing the files.

K-lite codec, the standard should be enough.

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...codec_pack.htm

Sound like you are missing a codec and that should supply what you need.

**GrimL337** · July 1st, 2008, 11:57 PM

This has fixed the problem! I appreciate your help very much! Thank you!
