Hi

I have Windows XP Pro SP3. I have a folder full of large *.avi's in
thumbnail mode. Everytime i mouse over one of the avi's Windows
Explorer closes and restarts. I checked Event Viewer and it appears
that shmedia.dll is causing this. Is there a fix?

Please help
NBK
 
See if this helps:

Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
To re-enable it: regsvr32 shmedia.dll

Added info:

AVI Search Remove (Line 74)

Manual:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to the key below and delete the default
data (right pane).

Or:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler
