Ive tried replacing my quartz.dll but it doesnt work a reformat works as ive tried it before but id rather not have to do that, the video files dont play on vlc either but that has a different .dll in the error message called msvcrt.dll

Have you tried to do a repair on your copy of windows? That might help fix missing or corrupt files that lead to this error.

Do all movies do this or just certain ones? That's an odd error, but I'm not totally convenced it's not some codec issue...

 

[Redbull{wings}]

all movies that are played from file the only movies i can play have played from a disk in my drive

 

[Redbull{wings}]

is it a codec?

 

[adz_619]

Possibly a codec. If it is download SLD Codec pack 2. What formats are the movies in

 

[Redbull{wings}]

ill try and download the codec pack and when i went to check it says video clip? thats with the default player as wmp and it says winamp media file if the default is winamp...



Edit-downloaded and installed the codec pack and it still doesnt work I ran the Gspot Info tool and found out they are avi files and the codecs are installed for them but it still wont play...

quartz.dll is a file of DirectShow library. May be your DirectX isnt new enough. I think you can fix it by installing the DirectX 9.0 c.

another way
You can copy the file to C:\WINDOWS\system32
and input "regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\quartz.dll" in the run box of startup.
