have you try'd downloading mozilla firefox

Open a comand prompt

(start > all programs > accessories > comand prompt)

And type:

regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll

This will solve your problem but will stop you seeing the little pic of the vid in your thumbnails.

To undo the above type:

regsvr32 shmedia.dll

The problem is basically your Xvid codec.
Try updating it or uninstalling. The fix above will work though.

I wasn't refering to explorer as in internet explorer but the windows explorer for desktop stuff.

Ironically I had the same problem as you but it was after I installed the 'latest' version of Xvid because mine was simply corrupt and the video was jerky.
Installing the latest version corrected my video problem but it made explorer crash everytime I viewed a list of videos in my video folder.

It hasn't been determined whether it's the codec or a crappy encoded video problem.
Either way, the above fix worked for me.
