Windows Explorer crashes each time video is 'looked' [windows media player] [video file]

Q: Everytime I go to the folder where all the movies that I entered on my PC contains Windows Explorer crashes. To open the files without a crash WE to open it using (file open). I know the specific files, because I managed to drag the videos to another folder (with my awesome ability to click fast) before the error appears.
Any ideas are appreciated!

Best Answer: Try if following method works.
Disable Windows XP's Media and Video Thumbnail Preview.

Goto, "Start" -> "Run" or press <Win>+<R>

In the Run box, type(without quotes) following,

"regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll" and press <Enter>

To enable it, repeat the above.

Re:I had same problem.. reinstall codecs… if it still does it, uninstall codec and install a new pack.

Re:Same problem here a while ago. Look in your event viewer, and it might say what file is causing the error. When it happened to me, the file was listed. Traced it back to a ULead DVD program. Uninstalled the program, and all was well.
