Okay so everytime I try to open "my videos" explorer.exe crashes. This happened all of a sudden. I cannot even go to customize under the folder properties or do a search for the files without explorer.exe restarting. Help? Thanks!

Prior to the issue starting did any of the following take place:

Have there been any updates done to the system just either hardware or software?
Any patches done to software?
Anything downloaded form the internet?

[nervjiggy]

Yes this happens in safe mode. No update, patches, or dls from the internet that I recall.

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 crash dumps have been found on your computer. Only 1 have been analyzed. Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is really responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

This crash happened a couple of months ago, so it doesn't appear to be relevant to this problem. Nevertheless, you should get your video driver updated. What is the make and model of your computer?

[nervjiggy]

I build my own computer.

Can you give me the specs then?
Run Everest; click on Everest Instructions in my sig, and follow the directions.

Go Start>Run, type in:
cmd
Click OK.

At command prompt, type in:
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll (<----watch for "spaces")
Press Enter.

Restart computer.

Just a FYI:

C: (NTFS) 70896 MB (6586 MB free)
Problem Disk free space is only 9% on drive C:.

XP starts acting strange at less then 15% of free drive space. Once we resolve the current issue maybe we can address this also if you would like.

[Broni]

Good point there.

[rshaffer61]

Thank you Sir Broni

Until he makes some more space, running my command (which disables media preview) should help though.
