Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 Problems with movies crashing Windows Shared folder I've had Limewire for about 8 months, and have been downloading movies and audios files for all this time. I have a problem which I did not find covered by searching on my topic. Some movies that I have downloaded seem to have an inherent problem. Perhaps they have been pirated or the creator has inserted some sort of code which causes them to crash the Windows folder in which they are stored??? I only have a few movies that do this. What happens is they download great, and I can even view them by opening a different viewer than Windows Media player, but when I go into my Shared file where they are stored, they cause the Shared folder to crash and close. This is very irritating and the only solution that I can think of thusfar is to remove the offending movies from the Shared folder so that they do not cause the folder to crash. I'm not sure what causes a movie that is playable and even a great rip to crash my Windows folder. I know it's the movie because as soon as I isolate it by quickly moving it out of the folder before the folder closes, then the folder is fine after that. What are some solutions for this problem? I have visited the page with the video codecs and have found several of the links out of date. So, please, before directing me to the video codecs page by ContraBanned, know that I have already tried many of these links and have found that at best they do not work, or at worst they cause even worse problems to my computer to the point of having to delete the offending application.  |

| You don't say what kind of PC you are using, or if it's new. A friends of mine had a similar problems with an older PC. He solved it by putting every movie in a new folder within the folder, one for each movie,and everything worked after that. The PC couldn't support a folder that big, thats why it keept closing on him. |

| I'm using Windows XP, and it's about 2 years old. This problem only occurs with one or two movies out of 40, not all movies. And, as soon as I take them out of the Shared folder, then the folder is fine. I can't even put them inside the Windows Shared folder because then it crashes. So, they are sitting on my desktop. I'm just thinking that there must be some reason this is happening, I just don't know what it is. According to my XP's specs, I have 512 MB of total physical memory. I think that's RAM. I know I have a 160 GB hard drive. This problems only happens when I download movie files from Limewire, which leads me to believe there's something attached to the file, or it needs a codec of some sort. It's frustrating to have the only copy of a movie (that I find on Limewire) cause the Windows Shared folder to crash every time the file is inside the folder. No one else can share this file because it causes crashes to the Shared folder. |

| I've actually just exprienced this again this morning, as it has happened to me before.... When the MS error report appears click on details now look for the file name for instance mine was xvid.ax. you then do a search in your HD and locate the file and delete it..... As far as I can tell the problem file excisted in my dvd santa and when I deleted the bad file it stopped santa from working, so I reloaded santa, so I can finish my burning and haven't opened my shared folder again today(want to finish the burning first) The 1st time I had 3 files, and they were movies that must of gone wrong and I just deleted them and everything was fine after that. Its not a virus, so dont worry about that.... I hope this helps you, please let me know how you go.....  |

| Of course, but thanks for asking. I scanned it with 2 different AVs and an online scan. No virus. Just some problem with certain files. |

| Oops, didn't see the post by Wondering Why before I responded to Grandpa. It doesn't seem to be a virus, nevertheless, it keeps causing weird problems. Anything that crashes files on your computer is suspect. I've checked my my computer for spyware, and found some several times. I think the nature of Limewire and other file sharing apps is that you tend to pick up more spyware than you might otherwise. I could be wrong about that, but it seems like every time I open Limewire and use it, I find spywares related to file sharing. Specifically, tracking cookies related to downloading music and movies. That's my biggest beef about using Limewire. It seems like the price you pay is getting infected with spyware, which if you don't know (like I didn't), can be pretty nasty and cause horrible problems, not unlike a virus. Problems such as crashing your computer daily several times. Problems such as weird things happening, like extra drives being added onto your computer without you having put them there. Problems like removing your drives without you having removed them. I have found www.trendmicro.com to be extremely helpful. They have a free spyware check. They used to have a free online virus check, but I think they are asking for donations now, since every time I try to use it, I get a blank page. Anyone else use housecall.trendmicro.com? |

| Hi, I think we hit the send button at the same time lol... Limewire itself doesnt contain the spyware and stuff its the crook people out there that include it in the files they share always be careful of file sizes and such to avoid these problems...I have used trend before but not for some time so im not sure if its still free or not, but if your AV is up to date you should be fine... Maybe try burning the movies and then delete them to stop your shared folder doing this, it is a pain I know, Im still to go back into mine as I know it will happen again as soon as I do... Best of luck.... |

| I'd burn the movies if I could. Are you talking about burning to a CD? I understand that the quality is not very good, so I didn't want to do that. My DVD burner (ripper?) doesn't work on this computer - never has - it was a lemon (jus the DVD burner). If you are talking about CD burning, how is the movie quality? |

| The quallity of the burn depends on the file that you have if its not a good copy of the movie it doesnt come out to great, but if they are good they come out good, I also think that some converting programs are better than others.... |
