Today at 08:15 PM Actions…Anonchair » it's a temporary fix to the problem - that command is just a way of turning a certain step in the cause of the problem off. If you do have .AVI files on the harddrive, the actual cause are any 3rd party codecs used to generate thumbnail previews.
Today at 07:45 PM Actions…Nao » @Arantor> Actually, just saw that shmedia.dll doesn't exist in post-XP OSes...
Today at 07:40 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> Ahhh, just that as you'd mentioned it only happened with a Windows upgrade, I'd still wonder if it was related. Can you try it on some other hardware?
Today at 07:36 PM Actions…Nao » @Arantor> The PC doesn't boot when my HD is plugged in, meaning it's a hardware issue, more than a Windows problem... (…)
Today at 07:36 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> regsvr32 is a tool I've not seen in too long. (…)
Today at 07:35 PM Actions…Nao » @Anonchair> No, one of the first things I did with Win7 was to disable previews and things like that. I think that was through that regsvr32 command, too..! (…)
Today at 06:49 PM Actions…Anonchair » @Nao> Got any video files on your external? Cause of the problem might be Explorer trying to preview thumbnails of .AVIs. Open a Run prompt and enter this to disable previews: regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll (or do it manually in Explorer's options) (…)
Today at 05:17 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> Roll back the patches? (…)
Today at 04:07 PM Actions…Nao » @Nao> So, it seems pretty much a given to me now... My 700GB external hard drive is dead. Whenever I plug it in, it crashes Explorer. I changed my rack to another one, and it still crashes on me. Yay... (…)
Today at 03:51 PM Actions…Nao » @Nao> still fails. oh my. thankfully not my work drive but still... (…)
Today at 11:09 AM Actions…Nao » Ohh... PC problems. Installed latest Win7 patches this morning; since then, it refuses to run with my external hard drives attached. Fantastic... (…)
Yesterday at 07:29 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> Because I replaced ones that were already there and the old custom_edit didn't quite fit. If you want to rename it, that's fine
Yesterday at 05:56 PM Actions…Nao » smileys are fixed. should add support for tt tags though... ie extended inline tags. need to remind myself.
Yesterday at 05:29 PM Actions…Nao » $txt['custom_see_edit_owner'] --> in ManageSettings -- it's lost in a sea of custom_edit_ entries... Why doesn't it use the same prefix, or at least is moved elsewhere, eh..? :^^;: (…)
Yesterday at 03:59 PM Actions…Nao » @Arantor> I just don't like McAdams, generally speaking. As for Moriarty, I liked him for what I saw (only watched bits of the 2nd movie), but I prefer the guy in Fringe... ;) Sherlock > Elementary > Sherlock Holmes. For me... And I've loved Downey Jr for 20 years.
Yesterday at 01:55 PM Actions…Arantor » @godboko71> Because working is less fun.
Yesterday at 06:28 AM Actions…godboko71 » Why was I playing Solitaire Blitz instead of working? (…)
Yesterday at 03:36 AM Actions…godboko71 » This apple is grainy :(
Yesterday at 01:18 AM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> Richie's Adler wasn't bad, his Moriarty was passable, but Moffat's interpretation of both was epic. Still, I watch US procedurals to chill, not be engaged by them ;) (…)
