    Angry Win 2003 Server shell restarts when opening large avi-files

    Hi all !

    I have Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition With Integrated SP1 English Version
    and configurated It to a workstation.
    By using this guide: http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/

    But now, the problem.

    I´m having trouble playing large avi files.
    Some small avi-files around 50mb or less I can play.

    MPG-files plays fine, they have no problem at all.

    When I open a large AVI-file, the media player freezes for while
    then closes without any warning. But if I bring up the Task Manager,
    The Windows Shell restarts. It does so all the time.
    I am totally unable to open large AVI-files.

    I opened the Event Viewer. Then I found this In It:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted.

    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

    So I clicked on http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

    And this came up:
