Default MP4 video files crash Windows Explorer - Need Help!


Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum.

I scoured the net in search of help with my problem but haven't found
anywhere or anyone who could help.

I have a PSP and ipod as many people do and like to put mp4 video files
on it. My problem is that MP4 files crash my windows explorer.

So anytime I open a folder that has an MP4 file in it, it crashes
windows explorer and I can't even manipulate the file (copy, move,
etc.).

I have a feeling that the problem is when Windows Explorer trys do
display a thumbnail for the movies,... it just crashes.

Help?

Thanks,

Jeff

What's the fault information for this crash according to the Problem Reports
and Solutions Center control panel?
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#bucket
will help you look that up if you don't know how.

This sounds like you're using a buggy MP4 codec that has a bad thumbnail
extractor.

the same goes for mov files (in my case), which can be solved as I
described.

With your solution, though, you would still have a broken/buggy codec on
your system which may crash in other ways later. As painful as any given
crash is, you have the interesting ability here to talk to people like me
here who can help you maybe actually identify that broken codec - swg.dll in
Jefferd's case - which means that you would still be able to use your system
fully as opposed to having disable system functionality simply because you
accidentally installed buggy software onto the system. =)

I enjoy helping systems work fully and excellently. =)

I apologize for not understanding the specific references you are making to
your specific problem. After searching a little, I see a post two months
ago on "Flickering transitions" from you that had two responses from others
and no follow-up on your part. I have no other understanding of what you
are referring to, sorry. It would probably be best to deal with your
problem that you are referring to within the context of a thread other than
this one, as this one contains lots of information apparently not relevant
to your precise concerns. =)

Hi Zachd,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.

I also suspect there's something wrong with my .mp4 codec. But I don't
know where they are located and where to actually find a good one.

I pulled the info from the problem. Here it is:

*problem signatu

application name: explorer.exe
application version: 6.0.6000.16549
application timestamp: 46d230c5

exception code: c0000005

What are the file properties for swg.dll? Where did that come from?

This seems like swg.dll is corrupting memory. I'd bet that if that file
wasn't on your system, you wouldn't be crashing.
