Explorer.exe crashes viewing list of videos

[Steve H]

Hi
I am running windows xp on an newer AMD system.

I"m having a problem viewing a list of videos in my windows explorer. Every
time I open Explorer to view a list of videos in a list on my hard drive, it
will show the list and then freeze and crash explorer.exe

This seems to only happen when viewing a list with larger size videos or
many videos adding up to a large total number of megabytes in the same
folder, so it would seem. If I can quickly cut and paste the videos into
another folder before it crashes it will be ok afterward with less videos in
the folder.

Anyone else experienced this problem?

Here is the error I get in my even viewer.

Deleted thumbs.db..
Had same issue and found corrupted thums.db file (Hidden file) in directory
was corrupted. Once deleted if u choose thumbs view it will recreate
thumbsdb...It solved my problem.
