neddy3722 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I think I found the problem, the freezing never happened at first, it only happened after I downloaded windows live essentials, when I downloaded the photo gallery, and movie maker beta, they come with versions of direct x 9, and windows 7 has direct x 11, so I tried uninstalling those two programs, and it would not let me, it said that there was an error, so I reinstalled windows 7 as a fresh copy and did not install those two programs, actually I didn't install any windows live programs and I have had no problems since, and it's been 4 days. my specs are: 512 ram 845gl intel chipset (similar chipsets to some of you guys, but without windows live essentials, no more freezing!) Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how to uninstall those feature without a full windows 7 Reinstallation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgeek Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 You should know by now that Win7 supports most common codec OOTB. You don't need to install anything unless you are using some truly weird codec. What about Quicktime? stand-alone VOB playback? (by VOB files, I mean when you double-click on a VOB file, WMP won't play it, it has to play it as part of a DVD which is a shame since my DVD camcorder records to single VOB files each time I press the record button.

9UnknownMen Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Intel 82865G here and same problem. Hard freeze during WEI Assessment(decoding part) and when I play movies via WMP. I'm able to play avi's via VLC though. My GPU didn't have Vista compatible drivers so installed the XP ones via compatibility which allowed me to use it.

The stock drivers which were installed work fine, and I don't encounter the freezing problem anymore. I tried installing the ATI beta drivers for Windows 7 from here: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default...uestionID=39069 But I didn't notice any difference.

Eric Veteran Posted March 11, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 11, 2009 Don't install DivX or any other codecs. Window 7 plays DivX AVIs right out of the box fine even with AC3 sound. The next milestone will play even more formats natively. FFDShow is very experimental. I've never had luck with any version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vomer Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Mine freezes randomly, not necessarily when I am watching a video. It looks like the system locks up...the processors are not at 100% so i know its not a software using all the resources.... but the harddrive icon is constantly on when this happens... I have a lenovo T60 Any suggestions guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 How weird I didn't come across this sooner... I was using 7057 and I was having random stuttering and hiccups. Usually after about 15-20 min of watching something. I was using the default drivers that came with it on my 3450, so I have no idea what the hell. After tinkering with it and being frustrated, I went back to XP. By the way... I hope this doesn't turn into that XP fiasco that they had with nvdisp.dll with the nvidia cards back in the day. That was a FREAKING disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apex2000 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I thought that I was the only one in this universe who was having this crashing with .avi problem. Previous to Win 7, I was running Vista Ultimate and could play any video that was on my system, i.e. .avi, .mkv (using KMPlayer), and some .wmv. When I upped to a clean install of Win 7 7000, I still could play all of my videos as with Vista above. This was OOTB with no codecs or ATI drivers installed. Then, when I clean installed Win 7 7048, every time I played any of the above videos, the video would start playing and then I would get a BSOD. This was true for WMP, KMPlayer and MP Classic. On 7048, after rebooting from the BSOD, nothing worked at all and I had to go back to 7000. I have since tried 7057 and 7077 and I get the same results except that everything still works after a reboot. The video plays for maybe 2 seconds, then there are a lot of horizontal lines filling the screen accompanied by a quite loud buzzing sound, followed by the BSOD, and a forced reboot. It even happens after installing the latest beta from ATI. This is REALLY frustrating because I cannot seem to get to the bottom of it. This is my setup: m/b: ASUS P5VD2-X CPU: Pentium D Dual Core 3.0 GHz GPU: ASUS ATI Radeon HD 3650 (500 MB RAM) RAM: 4 GB installed, 3 GB available. Anyone have any further ideas? Is it wirth trying VLC on 7077 to see if it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Do you have a pci interface card for SATA or IDE devices? Turns out that my problem was because my PCI IDE card was failing, and the drive was attached via the card. I am now running 7077, and not using the card anymore, it runs great.
