Windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.

[Big Booger]

Couple of questions:

When does this popup? Every time you open windows explorer? Every time you open Internet Explorer? Are you trying to browse folders or files, or hard disks? Are you trying to play a movie?

Are you getting any other message with the error?

I have never ever had a problem with that registry fix. I installed this on 3 PCs, a laptop, and a couple of friends and family members' computers. That is not to say it didn't cause problems for you.

How long after the fix did this start happening?


Now to undo what that registry fix did:

Click start,
click run,
type:
regedit

Now navigate to :

Hkey Local Machine SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}\

You will first need to add a new KEY.

Click edit, click new, then click key. Name it:
InProcServer32

YOu should see a default value already there.

You will need to add a new STRING.

So while you have clicked InProcServer32:

NOW double click (default):
and under VALUE DATA put this in:
%SystemRoot%\System32\shmedia.dll

Copy and paste that line Exactly as it is written there.

Now step two, if you dont have another string called ThreadingModel
Create one. Again click edit at the top of registry editor.

The click new
then click string value
then name it
ThreadingModel

Double click it and under the value data:
Both

Put that word exactly as it is written

That will give you back your avi deletion problem.

and rev, I have tried your fix a couple times, and it won't let me rename it sometimes... sometimes it will but those times it won't I am just stuck with a file forever without this fix.

I have attached an image.
