Yesterday Everything Worked

[Bender]

Like the topic title says, yesterday I could watch films without any problem, today everytime I try to play one, BSplayer and/or Kazaa Lite shut down.

The error I get is this (translated from Dutch): 'this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Contact your supplier bla bla bla...'.

Funny thing is, except for downloading and deleting some small files I didn't do anything. :blink:

I really don't have a clue what the problem can be, advise anyone?

hey bender, sounds like a problem i had a while back.
when i tried to open the movie files i would get the same error.
i downloaded the norton utilities software which i found on kazaa
and ran win doctor. it found all sorts of issues with my registry and
missing shortcuts and just lots of crap that causes errors. repaired them.
rebooted and the problem was gone. give it a try.
i cant remember the last time i got an error since i started using
norton utilities win doctor.

Thanks for the tip, I'm going to try it. :)

[sred2003]

make sure you let me know how it worked :D

[Bender]

It didn't work, I downloaded and installed it, and it fixed some stuff, but still no films.
I have reinstalled Kazaa Lite, Codec Pack (full), BSplayer, etc, now too.

I've noticed that I'm able to play some files, and that the files that don't play are all in .avi format, could that have something to do with it?
A part of the Codec Pack that isn't installed maybe? :unsure:

It's beginning to sound like you need an exorcism, Bender. But here's an alternative codec pack: DivXTotalPack1.3 (http://www.quellicheilpc.it/quelli02/download.php?op=getit&lid=306). If this doesn't work, you might try profanity!

[Bender]

Profanity has been used already, without results! :lol:


I just reinstalled the Full Codec Pack again, and now I get these errors:


C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\l3codecx.ax

An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file:
DeleteFile failed; code 5
The acces is denied

Click Retry to try again, ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation.

In all cases Retry don't work.

I've downloaded and installed this codec pack without errors, but the results were the same:
.avi files won't play and Kazaa Lite shuts down.

The n00b in me must be doing something wrong. :D :D

To avoid gettings errors during an install of any codec pack: 1st REboot your machine. Uninstall. REboot again. Install.

I did as you advised, but got the same errors when installing the K-Lite Codec Pack, and still no films.
I just opened my window and am ready to throw this machine out of it. :D


Thanks guys for the help up to now, it's 4 AM here, I'm off to sleep. B)

Good morning Bender,

How many codec packs did you install by now?
Just uninstall all of them! I had some problems with the Klite Codec packs and the Nimo Packs.. and all others!
Except with the Xvid Codec pack from SLD! It's an older version 1.3

If you have the right version you will get images from "The Matrix" movie while installing.
And you can select Dutch as your language! (das handig maar niet echt nodig :rolleyes: )

I just want to say that this is the only Codec i install when i'm doing a fresh WINDOWS installation, and this one never gives me
any problem what so ever! (But i use WIN ME. what's your OS?)

Just try it..

Good Luck!

Use the G-Spot tool on those movies that don't work. It sometimes can give you some clues about the nature of the error that is causing playback to fail.

[ToraBoraDweller]

Try a diagnose of DirectX : windows/system/dxdiag.exe
Maybe by (un-)installing some other item it got corrupted?

[JaVnI]

I used G-spot when i had a similar prob. worked for me...

[Bender]

@ Rocktron: I always deinstalled the old codecs before installing others, and I'm running Win98SE.

@ Paul: I didn't think of trying Gspot because all films worked fine before.
Now I did, and guess what?
On the films that do work, it says n.a. (not available I suppose), and on the films that don't work I get this error (translated from Dutch):

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Contact your supplier bla bla bla...
I'm beginning to think there's something seriously wrong, and it can't be a virus; I'm considering format C now... :angry:

My computer is balancing on the window-sill now. :lol:
