Vista - Gallery crashes when previewing video

I installed Vista Business RTM and everything was originally working. After
installing a few programs Windows Photo Gallery now crashes when double
clicking a video file (avi) to preview inside gallery. This was working
before, and will still work if I right click or choose open from the menu and
then choose Windows Media Player (or one of the other recommended
applications (Firefox, NeroShow, or Winamp).

The file association for AVI is still set to Media Player. The error message
reads "Windows Photo Gallery has stopped working" The debug information shows:

Any ideas on how to fix this? or even just reinstall Photo Gallery? The
application is not listed in the "Windows Features"
