Windows Explorer Crashes All the Time - Help Please !

Hi Everyone, just registered here and can't seem to find the info i'm looking for. I brought an aspire one this weekend, but having problems with it crashing all the time when i try to look at files which are photos and movies i've taken from my digital camera. Basically everytime i open the folder up and try to move the files to another folder windows comes up with a window and basically windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. The error msg is below. Really stuck so if someone can help me out that would really help. I tried searching but no good. Hope someone out there can help me.


AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512 ModName: avisplitter.ax
ModVer: 1.0.0.9 Offset: 000220b4

Thanks in Advance

One of the codecs you installed on your machine is breaking something.
Try un-registering the file using:

regsvr32 -u AviSplitter.ax

Then reboot and try again,

Hi thx for the reply, could you tell me exactly how to uninstall that please ? Im a Noob !

 

I just did ...

regsvr32 -u AviSplitter.ax

but I guess you need the full thing..

Open command prompt (Start-Run-cmd-enter)

type
regsvr32 -u AviSplitter.ax
and press Enter.

if you get an error message search for the file avisplitter.ax, then from command prompt go into that folder (using cd [foldername]) and type the regsrv32 line again.

hope it helps,
N

 

Thanks for the advice, just tried uninstalling the codec but it came up with the error msg. How do i get into the folder ? I don't understand using cd folder name or what i'm suppose to do now ! I did unistall all the codec pack and the pc was again fine, but now i can't open any videos !

If you can run me through what i need to do that wud be a great help, thanks...

 

if you have unregistered succesfully the file and the PC runs fine apart for the multimedia, the only thing you need to do is install a codec pack. there are a few different ones, I use Vista Codec Pack (runs on XP too), google it and see if matches your needs in term of file types that you may need to manage.

if i misunderstood and you're still getting an error message while using Regsrv32 please tell me the exact error message and I will guide you from there.
