Hi All,

When i open any folder that contains VIDEO FILES
i keep getting a WINDOWS EXPLORER error,

Even if i HIGHLIGHT any VIDEO files the error
come up.
Tried to find where it puts the Error message
( \Local\Temp\233b_appcompat.txt)
but there is nothing there?

Got 3 Comps in house and this is the only one that does this.
( 2 kids) + ( me, big kid).

Got most Video CODECS -: K-LITE klcodec266f
Propackcodec203b
WinAVI Video converter
Windows Media Player 10
Real Alternative Player 6-4-9-0
ImTOO DVD ripper Platinum 4
Quicktime 7
Power DVD 5
VLC media Player 0.7.1 (wxWindows Interface)
Nataveni xvid codec pack

Does any one think that there maybe a CLASH with the above CODECS?

If so what do i REMOVE?

But more importantly WHAT can I KEEP. (lol).

THANKS

mike.

I couldn't get the attachment to open

On a web page, click tools, internet options, click delete files, include offline content, delete cookies, clear history

Click the advanced tab, tick do not save encrypted pages to disc, tick empty the temporary internet files folder when the browser is closed, click apply, close IE

Click start then run, type %TEMP% and press enter, delete any files which are not prefaced with ~

Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD and Windows File Protection will show a blue onscreen progress bar, when the bar goes, reboot

Download and install Tune Up 2006 Trial

Run Tune Up Disc Clean Up

Run Tune Up Registry Clean Up

Click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, which will take a few minutes and need a reboot. You should disable the antivirus programme to run this

Check the anti virus is running after the reboot

morning KEITH.

done all you said, still no joy,
when i highlight any video files still get error message.

But now i have found the error file,... WERe154.dir00

It contains the following:-
Explorer.exe.mdmp..... hdmp
appcompat.txt
manifest.txt

AS i think this contains some PERSONAL details I will not post
an ATTACHMENT to this post. but will send them to you via a different route.

Let me know if you require these files for further info.

Click start then run, type msconfig then press enter, click start up, click disable all, click apply and reboot, tick do not start the configuration utility when windows loads

Try to watch a video file from the hard drive, because of the step in msconfig you will need to check the firewall and anti virus are running before going online

If no change, click start then run, type msconfig then press enter, put the dot in normal start up, click apply and reboot

Hi KEITH.

no luck on that solution.
still the same problem, highlight a video file ( AVI or xvid)
and error message still appears.

I can watch them via VLC player as long as i do not enter directly
into the folder containing the vid. files.

maybe it could be that i have too many players,
windows... power dvd...... VLC.....Quicktime...... Real Alternative Player(got this for RMVB files)
and there is a conflict with them?
