Vista & video previews

[JonnyBlaze]

In XP to get it to stop reading previews of xvid and other codec files that would cause it to crash I used to unregister shmedia.dll

This doesnt work in Vista. When I'm in a folder with xvid files Com Surrogate stops working. Does anyone know a way to make it stop trying to preview the video files? Any inside info Stash? 😉

If theres any way to make the previews work that would be great or if I have to disable them completely thats ok too.


Thanks

JB

Found a fix. If anyone else runs into this problem heres what you do.

Uninstall and xvid or divx codecs you might use. Install this specific version of ffdshow. It was compiled just for this issue.

I have this issue as well, but I'm not running the FINAL version of Vista. I thought this might be fixed with the final release.

From what I read online its a problem with the codec not Vista.

That version of ffdshow works great. Only codec you need installed.

This problem can be caused by Nero Burning Rom too.
