Explorer.exe crashes (does any one know why ?)

[Lou Angel]

Error Message on Explorer.exe

When I try to only open one of my movie files
the entire explorer tree crashes

The error message is always that explorer encountered a problem and must
close.
When I click to find the problem I get the following message
Then when I click OK, the entire explorer tree crashes.

I go back to "my computer", click this file, and the same thing happens
Does anyone out there know how I can fix this problem ?

Upgrade your xvid codec--there is an older version of xvid floating around
the file sharing services that plays havoc with XP SP2.
