Hi everyone
I recently noticed that when i download SOME youtube videos or other FLV files from other websites, WINDOWS EXPLORER crash, Hangs, Restarts, Halts, Whatever you want to call it.
When i expand the Windows Message, explorer tells me that (In a different language) FLVSplitter.ax is not playing nice, it keeps telling me things i don’t understand !
Is it an XP thing that don’t work in vista ? if it is, please drop a comment for i have not investigated enough..
UPDATE: You can download the new K-Lite codec pack and your problems should go away, no more reading necessary
For now, you are probably looking for a solution, one way of going about this is to unregister this FLVSplitter from explorer, you will no longer get thumbnails for FLV files but you should be able to find a different tool to read those FLV frames..
So, to unregister, start by holding down Winlogo (On your keyboard)+R, type “cmd” and a blank black screen appears with a prompt, regsvr32 FLVSplitter.ax and you are done
A different way (Recommended), is to update the file , Download this then replace the file in the folder C:\Program Files\K-Lite Codec Pack\Filters, Or if you are using a different software, anywhere you can find the file, maybe C:\Program Files\ffdshow
