ONLY FOR HARDCORE WINDOWS XP TROUBLESHOOTERS & GEEKS

I have Windows XP SP2 with all the latest updates installed.
I have an AMD64 3200+ system.

Since last few days, I've been facing a serious problem.
Whenever I simply click on a video file (not open it) or open any other
program, my Windows freezes.
I am not able to do anything like click anywhere on the screen, can't run
any other program & keyboard presses have no response.
The only thing that works is task manager.

When I run the task manager, I noticed that there was program called
dumprep.exe in the Processes tab.
It takes around 128 MB memory & 100% CPU.
When I close it using the End Process command, it closes & the CPU as well
as memory usage returns to normal.
But then also Windows does not respond.
I eventally have to close Explorer.exe using the End Process command & then
restart it using New Task.
But even after then I encounter the problem & not only with videos but other
programs as well.

I have not been able to found any satisfactory or related results on Google.

I don't know what's the problem.
Kindly look into the matter.

I don't want to reinstall Windows. I want to leave it as a last option.

Thanks for replying.
But the solution u suggested wasn't related.
"dumprep.exe" is not on my startup list.
