    Can't view video files.

    Здравствуите,

    I have a problem viewing video files on my computer that I took with a DV-182 3.1MP Digital Video Camera .

    I have downloaded the photo and video files without a problem but when I open the folder they are in and the mouse cursor hovers over a video file, before I've had the chance to click on it to open it, a pop-up appears.
    ( This problem only occurs with the video files.The photo files I have removed to another folder.)


    Data Execution Prevention.

    To help protect your computer,Windows has closed this program.

    Name: Windows Explorer

    Publisher: Microsoft Corporation


    My operating system is 'Windows XP Home with SP2' which is fire-walled, has automatic updates for Windows and I also have Avast Antivirus with automatic updates (which hasn't detected anything).
    None of the suggestions given by Microsoft seem to apply as it would not be wise to turn off D.E.P. for 'Windows Explorer'.


    When I close the pop-up, another appears entitled 'Windows Explorer' which asks me to tell Microsoft about this problem by clicking on 'Send Error Report' which I do. Then Windows restarts my computer.

    Exactly the same problem occurred when I copied video files from a DVD.

    Video files I've downloaded from the Internet I don't have any problems with therefore it is not a problem with Windows Media Player.

    I don't know if this has anything to do with the above problem but lately whenever I Left Double click on a JPEG image file it opens in Windows Media Player whereas before it always opened in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

    Does anybody know how to solve this problem so that I may view my video files ?

    Sensible suggestions to:bow.bill@gmail.com

    Happy New Year.

    Bill.

    Hello spud,

    Thanks for the welcome.

    I've run the following and found nothing suspicious:

    Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal

    Spybot-Search and Destroy

    Microsoft AntiSpyware

    a-squared

    avast! Antivirus

    It must be something else.

    Cheers.

    Bill.

    To obtain the information you asked for I opened the folder containing the video files and the DEP pop-up appeared and I went through the error reporting process again.

    After restarting my computer this time I got the blue screen of death so I had to switch the computer off then back on again.

    Things seem to be getting worse.That didn't happen before.

    Below is some information which I hope will help you help me.

    Error signature.

    P1: explorer.exe

    P2: 6.0.2900.2180

    P3: 41107ece

    P4: unknown

    P5: 0.0.0.0

    P6: 00000000

    P7: 03f7d860

    P8: c0000005

    P9: 00000008

    If I had your email address I could send you some of the screenshots I've taken.

    Cheers.

    Bill.

    i think we will need a fresh hijack this log which you should place in a new thread in the spyware and virus section where we can have a look at it for you and advise accordingly when you do that just say that you have also started a thread in this section and one of the moderators will combine the two threads


    thanks spud
