Blue screen after Error 37: a bad filename or volume was encountered

I get a PAGEFAULT_IN_NONPAGEDAREA blue screen after I encounter multiple Error 37: a bad filename or volume was encountered.
Anyone encounter this issue and how to you send info to apple for them to fix their buggy code?
Their support of code which will run bug-free on vista seems to be lacking (I understand there are two parties to this marriage).
Help anyone?

I noticed a few days ago that (at least on my box) Quicktime seems to have "issues" with >31 characters anywhere in the file path.
Is it possible that you have some folder along the way to your movie that has more than 31 charaters?
Shorten if necessary and see if that works.

  • "A Bad Filename or volume name encountered" ?!!!

    I searched but I didnt find an answer for this problem. I get the message "Bad Filename or volume name encountered" when I try to play a video file with Quicktime. When I try to add it to my playlist on iTunes it doesnt add it. All of this happened after I converted the file to a Quicktime format (.mov). Also I tried to convert it to iPod video format (.mp4) and the same thing happened. I actually converted some other files to those two formats and they worked. I changed the video size and frame rate and the audio bit rate , sample rate, channel around to match the iPod requirements but it still didnt work. Does anyone know what I should do?!

    actuially providing as much detail is best to get an answer. Like what are you missing? Where did you get this video from? what did you use to convert the video? Did you follow the instrucitons to convert the video to a .mov format and then to a .mp4 format? You see as much information is best to get an educated answer. Since your new here you didnt know that so your ok. And you did something MANY people dont seem to do and thats actually search b4 you posted.
    Thanks

  • Error 37- a bad filename or volume name was encountered

    I'm getting this message when trying to few a video clip taken by my camera. The video clip is in My Pictures. The pictures are showing up correctly, and the video clip shows up as "Quick Time Movie". When I click on it to view I get this message. I have deleted the pictue file and downloaded it again. and I have also deleted Quick Time and reloaded it. But, I'm still getting the same message.
    Any suggestions???

  • Restarting After a Blue Screen Stop Error

    I have received a Blue Screen Stop Error on my Toshiba Satellite 5200 Series laptop.
    I could report it here, in full, if that would be helpful. However, it begins by telling me to restart the machine but the unit's Power button is not allowing me to switch it off.
    What action should I take ?

    Crikey ! Someone at another forum just told me to hold the button down for 5 seconds..... and it worked !

  • Blue screen with error code and I have no recovery disks for HP Pavilion dv6-1260se

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1260se with factory installed operating system of Vista. When booting up the computer, I receive a blue screen with this error message: STOP:  c000021a {Fatal System Error}.
                                                                The verification of a KnownDLL failed.  system process terminated unexpectedly with

    I do not have recovery disks for this computer.  I tried to order them but them seem to not be available.  This is my daughter's computer.  She says she started to have trouble after downloading Frost Wire (music share) and then she removed it.  We tried going back to an earlier time and that didn't help and then the blue screen with error message appeared. What do I do now?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here.  That may be the best option.
    You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well.  Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible.  This should allow you to recover the PC.

  • Blue screen fatal error messages - laptop always crashes and now won't even let me restore

    My dv6920ea laptop has developed a fault and keeps crashing with blue screen errors, such as "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". The problem has become so bad that it happens everytime I turn the laptop on. The laptop ran "Windows memory diagnostic tool" which said that there was a hardware fault. I've tried running a full system recovery to factory setting but sometimes the laptop crashes, and when it doesn't it asks me to insert a windows disc, but my laptop didn't come with one. The laptop is a year and a half old. What can I do to fix this issue? I don't mind completely recovering the laptop to factory settings and I have most(!) of my files backed up.

    Hello djbless,
    You’re getting blue screens with error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    Run diagnostics to make sure that you are not having a problem with any of the hardware.
    Turn off the computer.
    As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
    Run the startup test.
    Go to HP.com and update the drivers, there is a button that says Let HP scan your system for out-of-date and missing drivers and software
    Here is a link to the updates.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

    Ok so i got this laptop in a few days ago here are the problems and the things i have tried. This laptop when it came to me did not have a hard drive, so obviously no OS. Upon installing a hard drive then trying to load Yosemite from a USB stick, I turn mac on, sleep light will blink 5 times then boot, Will come to normal gray screen then apple logo, will then load the OS install, but go straight to a blue screen with vertical lines. Tried different hard drive, tried different RAM sizes and speeds, tried different OS, tried CD instead. Have done numerous PRAM and SMC resets. trying Safe mode gets me a panic cpu 4 caller error then restarts. I have tried using a hard drive that had an OS already installed and will go straight to blue screen after loading. I have tried fsck -fy in single user mode. I do get that disk2s3 is write protected in single user mode, but im pretty sure that its the OS disk. I do not see a second hard drive in single user mode but i believe that because its not partitioned yet. Any ideas community?

    Tried doing OS X lion by CD now, and will only get half way through load bar before the apple logo and loading bar disappears and then it will sit at a gray screen.

  • Envy 15t 3200 blue screen after graphics install

    Hi everyone,
    I'm an IT professional working on a client's HP Envy 15t-3200 notebook PC (Win 7 x64, Intel i7, AMD 7700 series)
    He said (he thinks) after installing a recent windows update, it started blue screening on him with a graphics error.
    He restored his PC to factory install, and it was working fine until he installed windows updates and the graphics drivers again, receiving the same blue screen graphics error.
    I picked up his laptop. I installed a slipstream of windows 7 that I created. Everything worked fine - as soon as I installed his graphics drivers.
    First, I had installed the AMD drivers (from AMD, not HP). I thought everything was working fine, until I checked the device manager and saw that the AMD graphics were being disabled, and the laptop was reverting to the generic graphics driver. I also tried the older driver offered on HPs support page.
    I uninstalled the AMD graphics, and installed the Intel graphics. As soon as they were installed, upon restarting I received the same original blue screen error and had to result in booting to safe mode and performing system restore.
    When I install the AMD graphics without installing Intel graphics, it reverts itself to Generic graphics. The AMD graphics adapter shows a Code 43 in the device manager, stating that the device has stopped working because it has reported problems.
    I played around with different versions of AMD graphics which did not resolve the issue, and I installed different versions of the Intel graphics, which still caused a blue screen.
    The PC is working ONLY with the generic graphics drivers, which doesn't work for what my client wants to be able to do (gaming).
    I found this - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04121863&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    on the troubleshooting page for this notebook, and tried using this solution which also did not resolve the issue.
    I've checked temperatures of the laptop and nothing is anywhere near overheating.
    I don't know what else to try. My client said he will live with it and just not use it for gaming anymore, but that is not good enough for me - I've offered to continue finding a resolution for him free of charge.
    Any help would be very appreciated, this is extremely annoying

    Reformatting the hard disk and installing the OS again may or may not help.
    I would consider rolling back to a system restore checkpoint where the issue all began, testing it and if it works turn off Windows updates on the notebook.
    Unfortunately, this notebook model requires replacing the system board. I wish I had better news for you on this, but I do not. 
    You can see that in the Maintenence & Service guide.
    The larger notebooks have the graphics adapter module as a seperately replaceable unit.

  • My Macbook will not boot the operating system.  It just goes to a blue screen after the apple logo and the spinning wheel goes off.  I took the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the old mac os disk.

    My macbook will not boot.  It goes to a blue screen after the logo and wheel goes off.  I have taken the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the the original os disk but have not put it in for fear of losing un backed op data.
    Thanks
    Rich

    You won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
