More on this:
I have recently been getting this same error when using both Jpg files and AVI files.
Renaming the file works (you can rename the file through dos). But what is strange
is that it does not crash after it has been renamed back to its original name (do
this rename in explorer).
The only recent things I have done to my system is update to XP service pack 2 and
installed ACE Mega Codecs pack dashboard. I think this may be a codec issue. Also
I have got some new virus software (zone alarm with anti virus). This reported that
a JPG files had been infected with the ‘JPEG.MS04-028.exploit’ virus. This is a buffer
overrun virus that affects win 98 and below, but may be causing explorer to crash
(only guessing).
Anyway do a scan disk anyway just in case.
