Downloaded files, smooth install…however, Windows Explorer now crashes when .mov files are viewed as thumbnails.

Any solution?

Thanks…

after doing this, my windows explorer also always crashed when .mov files are viewed as thumbnails.

Had to uninstall it. To do this, simply go back to start –> Run..and enter this:

regsvr32 /u QuickThumb.dll

The problem with .MOV thumbnails crashing your windows explorer, is simply because you are trying to view too many files within that folder, and you simply run out of memory

Create some sub folders to put the files in and this will reduce the amount of files your memory will try to access or increase your memory. but no matter how much memory you have installed, eventually this problem will occur when there are a lot of MOV files, or the files are big, so keep the contents minimal and you’ll be fine.

I had Explorer crashing problems as well in XP. I believe the issue for me was one of the newer versions of iTunes was causing a conflict. Whenever I had a folder with the .mov thumbnails open, and I then opened iTunes, Windows Explorer would crash. Unregistering the .dll “solved” the problem, but of course I lost the functionality. Fortunately it’s easy to unregister and re-register as needed.

But now I’m using Windows 7, and still no thumbnails for QuickTime .mov’s… Ugh.

Thank you so much for the help. I couldn’t figure out why in the world I couldn’t view .mov files in windows XP with quicktime alternative. You fixed my problem. Thanks again.

First of all, thank you so much for your helpful info. I had great luck installing the fix to view the .psd thumbnails and I’m so excited to use this feature… I always save a .jpg with the same file name as my .psd just so I can see the thumbnail which is always a pain.

I’m having the same problem with the .mov fix as some of the other posters above but the fix to only view a few at a time didn’t work for me either. It crashed everytime I try to view thumbnails. Do you have any other ideas?

Thank you,

Hi Kelly

Glad the .psd fix worked for you, but i dont’ know of any way way to stop windows crashing, apart from increasing your physical memory (more memory chips) i had the problem when i had 2gb, now with 4gb it works fine -

Tell me what you're thinking...
