drive, I get Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close. Mod name - wmv8dmod.dll. Help appreciated.

The wmv8dmod.dll is file component of windows Media Player, do you set
windows media 0player to be your default application for opening all
Files/Folders/Applications?, you can change this and set the Windows Explorer
as your default Player/Launcher to run your Programs or applications.

Opena run command and type in:
regsvr32 wmvdmod.dll
regsvr32 wmv8dmod.dll
Reboot your computer and see if the external Drive will open okay, if it
doesn't then right click on it and select open with and this time elect
Windows Explorer.
Make sure this machine si clean from malware and viruses and the
files/folder you want to access also clean.
HTH.
