Hovering over files causes Explorer crash

[Steve]

Whenever I hover over or highlight files with a certain
extension, mainly .mod, .xm, or .s3m, which are types of
music files, Explorer.exe immediately crashes. I have
never seen such a bizarre bug before. Anyone know
anything about this? This only started happening
recently, and the only thing i've done of note is install
some windows updates.

My guess is you have some media-related shell extensions installed,
which are causing the crash. An example of this would be a third-party
media player.

Do you have the x-mouse setting enabled? (Activation follows the mouse
rather than clicking being required.) Suggest that you look in your
control panel\ tweakUI settings.
