Video Preview Problem with LW 5
 

Every time I launch a video, whether saved in my library or being downloaded, LimeWire crashes. I'm using LW 5.0.11 on XP SP3. I have the full WMP 11 codec pack, but WMP never even launches. I try to launch or preview a video and limewire shuts down. There are no error messages, and I didn't have this problem with the LW 4.

I saw someone else having this exact problem. I suggested using VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) & making VLC their default video player. It solved their problem. :) You would need to select one of each video file type such as mpg, mp4, .mov etc. & right-click & choose open with, select VLC from menu, click option to always open with. Then you are good to go for that file type. :) Setting Default video app

BTW the great thing about VLC is all the codecs are included inside the program itself & is a highly reliable video player. :)

Thanks
 

Yep, that did it. Thank you very much.

Thanks Lord of the Rings this was the answer I was seeking
