Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / June 2008Calling on heavy guns: need help
On my computer WinXP PRO SP3 each action involving any .avi file is causing Data Execution Prevention (DEP) intervention. And it even does not involve openning .avi file. Any click on .avi file (mouse left or right click), action like copying, renaming, anything is invoking DEP and Dr.Watson shutting down the Windows Explorer. It does happen to every .avi file I have on my system and that includes some sample .avi supplied with commercial products. It must be the real .avi file. When I renamed .txt file to .avi file there was not problem with that "new" .avi file. Why my Windows does not like .avi files? My DEP settings are set to default settings: "Turn on DEP for Essential Windows programs and services only" and I want to keep it that way.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Your thoughts appreciated, > Jack My thoughts: I'd keep this to one thread and stop starting a new thread with a new header to make it look like a new subject. Try this. First create a System Restore point then Go to Start->Run and enter the following line and click OK or Press the Enter Key regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll It worked a charm for me with SP3.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Your thoughts appreciated, > Jack This has to do with how Windows XP previews files when opened with Explorer. Suggestions: 1. Disable thumbnail view by going to Start/Run/CMD: regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll 2. And/or run this edit. This edit prevents high usage when browsing AVI files. Automated: AVI Search Remove (Line 74) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Manual Edit: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to the key below and delete the default data (right pane).

If you do not see any differences between both threads better keep mum. Silence is golden.

I was watching threads from 4 different people and 3 of them (not yours) were not cross posted. Yours was okay, and ironically I said something to you and not the others. Oh well, its just not my day. I usually don't say anything. See, I *should* keep mum. Have a good one.! You are welcome.
