Default Another Vista Problem...assistance needed

Here is a weird one.

Whenever I have an .mpg file and I go into the folder I get a Rundll error that shuts explorer down.

It only does it with mpg.

I have the k-lite codec pack but maybe it's not happy on vista?

the mpeg decoder that k-lite installed isnt vista compatible.

run the k-lite codec tweak tool and disable the mpeg decoder / or reinstall and choose a different mpeg decoder.

I would rather work around vistas fuck ups than go through re-formatting and installing everything...it's a pain in the ass.

Format...install XP Pro....problems all gone

Don't care if you don't want to hear it but the simple fact is Vista sucks ass and is a complete failure on all counts.

I have made a few Vista problem threads :chuckles:

I did the tweak uninstall and retried the file and no rundll error!

Thanks Jani
