Windows Explorer gives fault opening picture files

I have just added a new larger C:\ drive to my computer which required that I
reload WindowsXP Professional. I also loaded SP3. So, I should be up to
date. Unfortunately, every time I try and open a picture using Windows
Explorer I get a message that says that Windows Explorer has experienced a
problem and needs to close. Then I get a box that says:
The Instruction at "0x7c910efe" referenced memory at "0x006d0053" The
memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate Click on Cancel to debug.
No matter which choice I make Windows Explorer shuts down. I also can't
open the pictures using Photoshop either. However, the pictures can be
opened from my laptop computer accessing a removable drive. Any ideas??

For future reference: It is (almost) never necessary to re-load the OS when
upgrading to a larger drive; the contents of the existing drive can be moved
to the new drive using the new drive's cloning software.

Unfortunately, the reason that I installed a new larger drive is because
something (probably a virus) corrupted the boot sectors on both drives I had
installed at the time. Thanks for your answer anyway.
