selecting file in explorer/my computer crashes explorer.exe

I created them on my WINXP SP2 machine from DVDs using Pocket DVD Studio (.avi for my PalmOS). Anyway, when I navigate to the directory via My Computer and select (single-click) it, it crashes explorer (not bluescreen, but explorer.exe "restarts"). The debug info indicates some problem with mpeg2. It does play in media player just fine though.

Using codecs Divx Pro 5.2 and Xvid 1.0... both cause this on some but not all produced files.

That looked promising, but it didn't work when I disabled DEP as per its instructions. I don't necessarily think it's a divx version thing since my XVID 1.0 encodes are doing it too... so I opted to go the disable-DEP route. Still no-go... other ideas ?
 
what the hell? i thought it was just me
i have 10+gb of avi files and when ever i open that folder, explore crashes.
it crashes less, if I move the some files to other folder, have less files in that folder...

Does it still crash if you uninstall the DivX and Xvid codecs?

good thought - I uninstalled both and the KLite Codec Pack I had way before - and it wasn't happening anymore. Maybe it was getting its wires crossed with versions or something. I've just reinstalled them both (using only KLite Codec Full) and it's still no longer crashing. Encoding now (Divx 5.1.1 Pro) and we'll see what happens afterward... (I changed DEP back to default on, BTW).

I know people don't like codec packs, but I really don't want to download divx/xvid/mp3/ac3/etc. all separately... and I need all of those.

Thanks.
 
You should just install ffdshow instead. It should cover most of your needs, and it's fast and stable to boot.
 
Try turning off the media preview.
Start - run - regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll. You can search it up for more information on what it does.

That preview window is left un-expanded... does that still try to "preview" when a file is single-clicked ?
