toddnbrown Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 This issue is more of an annoyance at this point than anything else. Unless I quit bittorrent sync from the taskbar in Windows 8.1, I get an explorer.exe error message when restarting the computer. It took me forever to figure out that bit sync is the cause of the error, but I have tested it over and over again to make sure I don't look like an idiot. If I manually shut down bittorrent sync and then do a restart, the error message never pops up. Any ideas here? I would have listed something more specific about the error message but it's only there for a second or two. It's something like this though: explorer.exe - Application Error ....The instruction at 0x74fd40b9 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read.

Harold Feit Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Do you have any media (mostly videos) in the folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiime Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Is there an issue related to media files? As I wrote in this post http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/25494-windows-81-strange-behavior-and-lots-of-error-in-logs-since-12xx/I also experienced this behavior with Windows 8.1 and I share almost exclusively MPEG2 files. On my side, this issue is happening randomly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 It's not actually a sync issue. It's an explorer issue where explorer is trying to get a thumbnail on an incomplete file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiime Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Interesting...I will try with a check-mark on the "Always show icons, never thumbnails" in the "Control Panel/folder options" to see if I can get any positive result.tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 It's not actually a sync issue. It's an explorer issue where explorer is trying to get a thumbnail on an incomplete file. Hmmm... Explorer doesn't usually generate thumbnails for unknown file types though!? For example, an "incomplete" image file being transferred by Sync would have a .!Sync, .SyncPart, .SyncTemp, or .SyncOld extension - i.e. "myimage.jpg.!Sync" The filetype in the above example is ".!Sync", it will only become a ".jpg" file once it has been fully received and the ".!Sync" extension removed. ...so what is Explorer doing trying to generate thumbnails for .!Sync, .SyncPart, .SyncTemp, or .SyncOld files? (I'm assuming of course that Explorer determines which files to generate thumbnails for based on their extension, not meta content?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelboss36s Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 hello! I'm totally out of context here, and not even close to being on topic, (please excuse ) This probably wouldn't happen if there were a "new topic" or "ask something", or "just say something already button" somewhere on the forum. Can anyone point me to it? Thankx in advance. The only reason I'm here at all is that I've never been able to get this "sync" to actually "synk". It ask for a secret on my laptop, but the droid app sends a link instead to download the app for windows. I already have that, and it's no secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone point me to it? There's a great big "Start New Topic" button near the top right of the forum index!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
