Explorer crashes when opening a folder with an AVI file

External Since: Aug 27, 2005 Posts: 2

Hello,

When I open in the Explorer a folder with an AVI (looks like it's XVid
AVI files only), my explorer (not IE) window crashes. It looks like
it's got something to do with the generation of the thumbnail for the
AVI.

Could it have something to do with a protection against execution of
some programs?

does anybody know how to solve this?

thanks,

Fries
