And that error message is....? Those "certain folders" are....?

I'm afraid that no one can help if you don't provide at least a
modicum of pertinent information.

Hi!

I have the same error message every time I open a folder containing videos
in Thumbnail view. Is there any other solution than changing the view to
tilesand?

Solution to my problem:

I uninstalled the DivX -codec pack and the problm went away.
I found that solution on some other forum, so I'm not the only one who has
had the same problem with folders containng video files (avi-files).

Recently I've been having a problem with Windows Explorer closing when I've
tried to view photos in the My Pictures folder. Here is a copy of the error
message I received this evening.

Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.3156, faulting module
ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x000111de.

I really need to view my photos so I can use them in other applications.

Thanks
