cluberti Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Can the movie play in safe mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperHacker Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I think you need to investigate why csrss.exe is running Quicktime. That would give it kernel access wouldn't it? Certainly not something a video player needs.It's interesting that the movie plays fine from an external drive, and opens in Wordpad, but won't play where it is. QT and Wordpad might be doing things differently. Have you defragged lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb582 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) The movie will not play in safe mode either, I can load up quick time but as soon as I do file open and select the movie the computer crashes - As for defrag, I use diskeeper 10 server enterprise so that pretty much takes care of that.I have two mini dump files that I tried to upload but it would not let me due to the file extension and even changing the extension to .jpg I got this error when try to add them The requested file upload failed because suitable permissions have not been enabled on the 'uploads' directory. Please contact the board administrator and inform them of this error. Edited November 17, 2006 by tb582 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarle Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Run a manufacturer's diagnostic on your 120GB Maxtor and let me know how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please contact the board administrator and inform them of this error.At this point, it's possible it's hardware (although I am not convinced, because it does work sometimes from some locations) - I'd say the only surefire way to figure this out is to reinstall the OS, install the latest drivers for your hardware, and install ONLY quicktime. At this point I'd be very interested to see what happens from the local disk, and the same file copied to an external disk as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb582 Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Run a manufacturer's diagnostic on your 120GB Maxtor and let me know how it turns out.Sorry it took me sooo long to get back to the board, I finally ran the Maxtor mfg diag. on the disk and it found no errors.At this point, it's possible it's hardware (although I am not convinced, because it does work sometimes from some locations) - I'd say the only surefire way to figure this out is to reinstall the OS, install the latest drivers for your hardware, and install ONLY quicktime. At this point I'd be very interested to see what happens from the local disk, and the same file copied to an external disk as well.I figured it would probably come to this, but I'm not ready to reformat just yet....Its perplexing that it only happens to the quicktime files on the C: drive, if I copy and paste them to any other drive they load/work/and play fine....perhaps I should run the WD diag on my C drive?

Same thing happens. here is the error report: BCCode : f4 BCP1 : 00000003 BCP2 : 897FADA0 BCP3 : 897FAF14 BCP4 : 80604418 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDamm Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I know this isn't a direct solution to your problem, but QuickTime Alternative is free and plays all mov files flawlessly. It just installs the correct codecs and used Media Player Classic. It is much lighter and nimbler, and most likely would solve your problem.In situations like yours, I'm most apt to reset to a known good image, or failing that, just doing a complete new install. It takes less time than trying to track down the culprit which may be an errant dll or some such. Think of all the time you've spent on disk scans, etc, to no avail. Well, yes, you've gained some experience doing that I've done that too, but there comes a time when you realize your time will be better spent doing a clean install.There are so many intervening factors that have occurred since you first posted this a year and a half ago or so that it's not really worth the time to diagnose at this point.
