Re: Severe problems

I was having the same problem. Not sure whay caused it since I have many MP4's and have been using them in the same directory for months. But suddenly I get the "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" message.

I went into CMD and tried to isolate the file causing the issue - I copied one MP4 at a time to a new directory and then tried to open that directory using explorer. However Explorer crashes for any file that I copy from that directory! So somehow all the thumbnails for all the files in that directory were corrupted.

I did the temporary work-around using control panel as per fat_man_on_a_bicycle suggested and explorer no longer crashes. Thank you for the help.
