Click on Start then Run, type chkdsk c: /f /r and press Enter. Reply Y when asked if you want this to occur on the next boot. Reboot and let chkdsk run undisturbed to completion.
See if that helps.
If not, Windows XP Explorer has a 'feature' to provide a preview in the Details box on the left of the file you have selected, if it’s supported. Image files, HTML pages, video clips, MP3s, etc are all previewed (even with the folder view open).

Simply do the following:

- Reboot your computer and see if the problem persists.
