I have same problem: Error message when I open folders with vids

I too have the same problem and though maybe it was a conflict with another

seemed to solve the problem by using system restore. I want to try that, but
apparently I have absolutely no restore points previous to Jan 2009 (which
strikes me as odd), because I cannot go into the past beyond this month.

In the earlier thread, Gerry has asked for information from the Event
Viewer, so I include this here:

There is one other Warning (which I am not sure is related to the problem at
hand because the time doesn't seem to match), and several other Errors.

The errors in the system happen far fewer and are just periodic.

Does anyone have a solution? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Hi Jim, thanks for taking a look for me. Do you have a solution for this???

Hi,
I had the same problem. There was one solution given on a German
website.http://blog.knecht-ruprecht.info/2009/01/explorer-crash-durch-emzdecm...

I'm the author of this article but I'm too lazy to translate it to
English ;-)

Anyway, you can leave a comment there and I might be able to help you
if Babelfish & Co. is not sufficient.

In short steps:
There are two possible solutions to the problem, a) unregister those
bloody codecs from DirectShow or b) reduce their merit (priority) to a
value which is equal to "do not use".

Software used to do this is mentioned in my blog, the usage is almost
self-explaining, I guess.

Hope this helps.
