Used it once. Now it crashes explorer. Tried to rename that foul file shellext.dll. But guess what? Any try to click in an explorer window including rename caused it to crash. I deleted it. Now my system is perfectly fine.

BOOOO!

I followed the instructions to install this day-of, and now it’s saying my trial period has expired! I was so excited about this program, as I resize pictures for my web pages all the time. It’s hard to be mad when you got something for free, but this was the first GOTD that I found significant enough to install.

Right-Click crashes in Explorer.exe are usually caused by DLLs installed by an app to enable extensions to the right-click menu. In this case, the file “shellext.dll” in the installation directory of your Media Resizer Pro is causing the problem. I don’t believe it is necessary to uninstall the app, just disable the DLL by renaming it so that the registry can’t find and execute it.

I also had exactly the same problem as #88. Clicking any option in the Explorer ‘File’ menu, or trying to create a new directory in a ‘Save As’ dialog, causes Explorer to crash. The problem is something to do with shellext and is similar to a reported Explorer problem is the MSN patch database. The only way I was able to fix it was by uninstalling the product.

Seeing as this was the first product I have tried from this site; not a very auspicious start.

like many others before me, some of the right hand side of the program is cut off and limits whatever options are available.

Never mind my comment #119, just do what #103 said, rename shellext.dll (typically in “C:\Program Files\Media Resizer Pro”); the DLL is also associated with something else. By the way, it doesn’t take hours to find these problems. When Windows crashes, the dialog box gives you an option to view the details.

Along with #99, mine will not provide the registration code necessary to avert the 15-day trial period that is displayed when you first open the program. I followed the ReadMe and was able to do the Activate first, too. I’m a little less than thrilled with that, but I suppose I can’t complain since it’s free for these two weeks.
