sharik Guest | just wanted to say that the following worked for me (in regard to the Explorer/Xvid problem
*open the Add/Remove Programs
*closing the Explorer from the Task Manager
*remove all Xvid/Divx codec installers u have
*opening Explorer from task manager
*open a new installation of your Xvid/Divx but do not install yet
*close explorer from Task Manager (again)
*now install the Xvid/Divx .
*open explorer from Task Manager
done!
worked great for me!

A.Thankful.Dude Guest | Thank you for this fix. The 'regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll' trick works great for me. I have been suffering this explorer-eat-my-CPU issue for quite a while now.
A thanks also goes out to “doingit” for the batch files idea!

chip2401 Guest | ok, this advice is very helpful. the regedit works perfectly only one drawback to removing the media preview; it “hides” all information for all media files. this includes tag info on all your music. is there a way to apply the regedit to just video files?

If you want to fix the problem without disabling the thumbnails view or anything else. Check your codecs by going to your control panel, then sounds and audio devices, next click the hardware tab and select video codecs and properties. Check through them one by one. This is where your problem lies most likely. If you have Divx 6.0, you may want to remove it and use Divx 5.2.1, is seems there is a bug or conflict with version 6.0. I have found that Pinnacle drivers crash explorer also, particularly PICAudio MJPEG Codec, you cannot remove this through the sound and audio window however you can disable it throught the the settings of this codec. This should work on all versions of windows. I hope this helped someone. I had the same problem and reinstalled windows and the problem was back again after I installed Divx 6.0. You can read more posts about Divx at http://www.divx.com . Good luck and I hope this helped someone as it has for me.

cardsfan Guest | Great fix, thanks for sharing. I might have know it would be Pinnacle. I disabled the PICAudio MJPEG Codec and my problem went away. I am tempted to reverse the registry edits I made that eliminated the preview/.avi problem... I suspect it’s this codec.

Wrath Guest | Hey, Thanks everyone for the info. It really helped remove one of the little annoyances most likely caused by iconpackager. First I tried to delete the key in the registry (after backing up, of course) but no such luck; however, the problem was solved after Unregistering and re-registering the dll’s.
Thanks again :-)

dao_yu Guest | Wanted to affirm that “regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll” worked for me as well. Thanks for the fix, this was driving me INSANE making me think my .avi files were no good.

LukeTheSame Guest | I followed the instructions in this thread and managed to get my computer to the point where it will play everything without complaining, but I’m still having problems converting AVIs (the same particular AVIs that used to give me problems) to DVD format, whenever I try to convert them using DVD santa or DIVX converter it says that it’s encountered a problem and shuts down.

keeb Guest | Wow, having problems with AVI and windows explorer forever!
I ran “regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll” and now I can look at my files with out explorer bombing out everytime!!!! Thanks a bunch!
I’m still having issues with Windows Media Player 11 when I try to open the AVI files with WMP. That crashes also but I’ve just been using the divx player and that works fine but I would like them to work with WMP player also. Anyone have any thoughts?
BTW, I tried using old versions of Divx and such to try and get WMP to work, no luck yet.
THANKS!

The Sly Fox Guest | THANK YOU very much a million times!
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll worked for me. Finally... no more task manager to kill the explorer process.
Really really appreciate the tip!
