Title: As soon as I boot Windows Explorer it crashes.
Post by: Maxen on January 01, 2011, 04:52:48 PM
Thanks in advance.

Tried the chat, I've done some quick troubleshooting on my own. Basically windows explorer wont work. As soon as I get up and running it crashes. What follows is the usual Win7 options and if I choose to reboot explorer it just crashes on boot. Its a swedish version of Win7 but Ill post the error notes and perhaps youll figure whats what:

I can think of two reasons as to why this is happening. I wasn't here at the time it started but my friend did mention the fact that he tried to start video clip which was a Matroska file and that DivX had automatically been set for mkv files. As soon as he tried to play it explorer crashed.

The first reason I can think of is that it is a bug as stated on wherever I found the information on google.

The other reason is that there might have been a DivX update that I interrupted as I was in a rush or something like that...

I cant launch anything cause I cant get to the cmd. The only way I know of is if I booted it through safe-mode but then Id probably just get lost and end up doing something stupid. I honestly just want to get rid of DivX alltogether in hopes that it will solve the problem.

I was sent here by one of the Chatters who was a user on the site. Who told me to come here in-case it might be virus or such.

I've already tried booting the Control Panel through "Help" using the txt file link provided by the error note. The link is how I managed to open up my internet browser.

If anybody could just please point me in the right direction I'd be really grateful.

He wrote "Windows Explorer", not "Internet Explorer".
