I recently got a few videos from the net and one of them
caused a problem with... well I'm not sure what but it is
now happening on lots of videos, when I try to open some
videos explorer.exe crashes, when I open the folder with
the video in it and the folder is using thumbnails it
also dose the same thing, I'm not sure if windows is
causing the fault or if media player is the one with the
problem and is just causing windows to quit explorer.exe,
if someone could offer some help I would be grateful

ohh this is the message thet XP displays

AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0 ModName:
unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000

P.S
if anyone needs anymore info just say so and il post it.
 
I have a similar problem. Explorer sends an error message and closes down all open Windows whenever I open a folder containing videos (MPEG mostly) in thumbnail mode. Anybody have a solution?

I would check 3 things:
1. Make sure that you have the latest driiver installed for your video card.
2. Run the Belarc Advisor (free from www.belarc.com) and see if all your
microsoft patches were installed correctly; if not, reinstall the ones that
Belarc Advisor identifies as not installed correctly.
3. May not be related, but you should be running DirectX version 9b
available from Microsoft.
