Explorer CRASHing. Any ideas ?

[Home Theatre Guy]

It only crashes when i go to a certian directory on a certian drive.
Says it has a problem and crashes. Does it every single time ?


Any idea why ?

Nothing but video files


All kinds.

Nothing but video files


All kinds.

Sounds like one or more of the video files has a problem.
Can Explorer display video files?
Jim

 

[Ramesh, MS-MVP]

Yes. As Jim said. Also, check the Event logs to determine if this is a Codec
problem.

How do I view the error messages registered in Event Log?:

Is this a Microsoft Service or do you it from the kidness of your
heart. Or just to keep your troubleshooting skills up ?

I wish i had some brains would get a MS-MVP, but alas thick as a post

Visit the following page when you have some time.

Frequently Asked Questions about the MVP program
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs

Yes, that's another reason why I participate in newsgroups and various other
online forums. One must know what problems the users are facing, so that I
can learn, troubleshoot and help others.
