Re: Severe problems

I was having the same problem. Not sure whay caused it since I have many
MP4's and have been using them in the same directory for months. But
suddenly I get the "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" message.

I went into CMD and tried to isolate the file causing the issue - I
copied one MP4 at a time to a new directory and then tried to open that
directory using explorer. However Explorer crashes for any file that I
copy from that directory! So somehow all the thumbnails for all the
files in that directory were corrupted.

I did the temporary work-around using control panel as per
fat_man_on_a_bicycle suggested and explorer no longer crashes. Thank you
for the help.

More clues from this thread indicated a bad codec, so I uninstalle
"Muvee Reveal" which I had as a 15 day trial (day 2). The problem is no
resolved. Explorer can view the files/icons as thumbnails now

Thanks aggain
