ImagebrowserEx crashing at start

[TommyC]

When I start up ImagebrowserEX, it comes to an "Initial Setup" form.

I click OK, and it displays a thermometer bar saying "Counting Images".

Then it crashes.  ("ImageBrowserEX has stopped working.")

The details says the crash is occurring in CanonH264Filter.ax, which I think is a video codec.  So I removed all the video files from the MyPictures folder tree, but I still get the same crash.

I installed ImageBrowserEX by downloading from the SX50 downloads page on canon.com.  Running Windows 7 with all current updates.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled ImagebrowserEX, Silverlight, Java, to no avail.

I have a similar problem with Zoombrowser. I think transfering a picture from internet  caused it, but not sure

The message i get is.   Zb module has stopped working.  The screen goes light and will not react.
