Media player causing windows explorer to crash
-
I dunno if anyone actually reads this message board but here goes. I have 'web content' enabled for my folders in windows explorer so that I can see a preview of pictures and video to the left of the folder contents. The past few days explorer has been crashing when I click on a video file. It shows the preview fine but when i click on another one *BOOM* it crashes with a "The memory could not be written" error. I've rebooted several times, tried it with *NO* other apps running, and even downgraded the media player. Any ideas?! -Jack To an optimist the glass is half full. To a pessimist the glass is half empty. To a programmer the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

For your question you would have to state what kind of video file(s) you are looking at: WMx (whatever 'x' was - Windows Media "something"), MPG, MP4, RM or AVI (and whatever I forgot), and in case of AVI you'd have to tell at least what video codec was used. My guess is you're looking at AVI's compressed with a not-really-functioning codec, or maybe flash, but without any further information one could answer "42" and it would be correct.
