Help, WinExplorer Crashing when selecting/hovering on an .avi file
Posted by ToddMac on February 12th, 2008


My XP SP2 machine is having the following problem (it seemed to start a
couple days ago):
Any time I select (or even hover over) an AVI file, my Windows Explorer
immediatley crashes and restarts. There no error dialog or other
notification) This does not happen on any outher file types (that I've found)

I've removed any recent installs (including Expression Encoder, Quick Time
and Expression Media)

I've spent hours searching for an answer and now I'm stuck. I'm really
toast here as I do a lot of video work and now the maching is unusable.

Thanks

You're having trouble with a video driver being called on the 'sendto' menu.
Here's a good article on all that.

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:
