My explorer observations -
I am relatively stable but there is there is one thing I have finally found
I can do to reproduce an explorer crash every single time with the error
below
"Data execution Prevention - Microsoft Windows"
"To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program"
Name: Windows Explorer
And at least for now - I've found one way to stop it -
First how to reproduce the error:
In my media folder I have some very large media files, esp. my video
captures for projects - several over a Gig, one that is 9 Gig. I have to
keep my media folder views in detail mode, never thumbnail or I crash with
the error. If I single click or right click on the larger files (over a
Gig - haven't found the exact threshold) the preview does not display in the
folder sidebar and then I get the explorer error. I think it has something
to do with the information it initially gets on a file and/or the
preview/thumbnail view. The preview image in the sidebar never shows up.
The filesize etc. does. There seems to be an issue handling large files.
If I ignore the error and don't click close - I can navigate normally and
even run the file. These are good files, not corrupt, I've ran them and
used them in editing.. So far it seems to be a constant issue on any file
that big.
Don't know if that is related to the other explorer issues I have read in
here or something else entirely. My solution so far is to uncheck a default
setting, on the folder, go into Tools/Folder Options, click the View tab and
check "Do not cache thumbnails" You'll need to stop and restart explorer
for that to take effect - or reboot - but that seems to have stopped it for
now. No more explorer crash - at least I can't reproduce it that way. I
also no longer get the sidebar preview, but I can live with that, never
really used it anyway.
I have SP2 and all the latest patches, updates for Windows and my mb bios
(MSI K8N Neo2) and mb drivers.
