shmedia.dll and windows explorer closes!!!

[NBK]

Hi

I have Windows XP Pro SP3. I have a folder full of large *.avi's in
thumbnail mode. Everytime i mouse over one of the avi's Windows
Explorer closes and restarts. I checked Event Viewer and it appears
that shmedia.dll is causing this. Is there a fix?

Please help
