Ok heres my problem as of about 40 minutes ago I have started having trouble with windows explorer.
The problem is when i browse something like My Documents or try and watch a video I get a "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message. When i click to see what the error report contains it says this "Error signature AppName: explorer.exe AppVer 6.0.2900.218
ModName: clvsd.as ModVer 6.0.2.2806 Offset: 00043170" I have my view settings to show thumbnails and i was getting the error in a folder that was only videos so i thought one of the files may of been corrupt. So i tracked it down to 1 file that it would get the error on when trying to load the tumbnail for it and i dont get the error in that folder anymore. But i still get the error when i play certain videos so I dunno if windows has a problem or some of my files got corrupt for some reason.

Start > Run > Type "chkdsk"

Let Windows fix anything it finds. If no errors are found, please let us know.
