I can't access large video files.
A few months ago, I recorded some videos in Battlefield 2142 when a few of us went on a pubbie raid. They vary from 1-4 gigs. I can view the 1 gig ones with no problems but when I click on any of the larger videos, Windows reports that a program has stopped running. (Rundle32) I also downloaded some video files as well and when I open the folder they are in, Windows Explorer stops working. Any advice for my problem?

Re: I can't access large video files.
Okay first off, if you're using Windows Media Player to play those files, anything over 1 GB will crash the player and result in your error.
Try using VLC Player to play them. Once you've installed the player, right-click on the large video files and change the default program that it opens in to VLC.
If that doesn't work or doesn't play as smoothly, try KM Player.Acreo Aeneas

Re: I can't access large video files.
I can't even right-click the files without Windows Vista creating a fuss.

Re: I can't access large video files.
While I'd agree about using the VLC player, since it has such good codec support, and features, I would argue against the fact that WMP would crash with anything over 1 gig.

Sure it takes it a couple seconds longer (literally) to load then some files that are smaller, but I've never had any other problem.
Although I would wager that Vista is to blame on Mech's particular system, or possible a caching issue.

I had assumed he was using XP not Vista. Originally Posted by PhoenixxFire

If you can't right-click, just run VLC, then File > Open > Browse till you find your video file > Select it, open it, and play it.Acreo Aeneas

Re: I can't access large video files.
Might be the image preview of the video file causing your system to hard lock up.
Try this:
1) Open a command line window
In XP: Start > Run, type in cmd, hit Enter
In Vista: Start > In "Start Search" type in cmd, hit Enter
2) To remove image preview, type: regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
3) Hit Enter keyAcreo Aeneas

Re: I can't access large video files.
To quote the error:
"The module "shimgvw.dll" Was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found.
Make sure that the "shimgvw.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."

Re: I can't access large video files.
The Microsoft hotfix (see link at the top of the KB article).
The alternative
edit: I just saw you're running Vista. Hang tight.
Turn off preview in Vista
Does this work for you ?
