I seem to be having another strange error with windows explorer. While
opening explorer I get an error. This is what it says:

ERROR SIGNATURE

AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName:
dscinemvideodecoder.dll
ModVer: 2.0.2.610 Offset: 0001592d

Again as usual all icons dissapear from desktop and then return.
Does anyone know what is happening here or at the very least how to
prevent this while opening folders looking for files???

Thanks

This looks like a trouble associated with AVI video files.
Explorer goes looking into the files when you open a folder, to look for
the extra info about Properties - like resolution, frame rate, etc. And
gets in a loop, so the program that is using the file is the very
Explorer you are trying to delete with. It seems to happen
particularly if the DivX codec (that came out after XP) has been used.

It may be best for people with a lot of these files to do without the
extra property info - Start - run - regedit.exe, open to

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler

highlight that and delete it

I will look into this as well
