It’s very difficult to diagnose since there are soooo many things that can cause this.
Does the crash occur only with .avi files? Does it occur with .mpg or .asf or .wmv files? Does it occur with ALL .avi files? Or only some? If some, can you identify the codec of the .avi files that crash (using gspot or avicodec)?
The screenshot showed xvid.dll was the module that crashed. I’m surprised because xvid is a very stable codec (unlike divx for example.) One thing to try is to get the latest version of xvid here http://www.koepi.org/XviD-1.1.2-01112006.exe
Also, have you been installing any new codec packs, or drivers or filters lately? That could be another culprit. If in doubt get later version of the drivers, and uninstall the codec packs.
