Does your Windows XP explorer crashes saying ”Windows explorer has to be closed and sorry for your inconvenience” ?
If it happens whenever you open a folder containing .jpg and .avi files.
This is what you got to do to SOLVE this problem.
- Open a command window
- (ie) Start -> Run -> “cmd” (Hit Enter)
- To remove image preview, type the following and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll - To re add image preview, type the following and hit enter
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll - To remove media preview, type the following and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll - To readd media preview, type the following and hit enter
regsvr32 shmedia.dll
This solves the problem.
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 is supported.
Image files, HTML pages, video clips, MP3s, etc are all previewed (even with the folder view open).
Hope it was helpful.
I had this problem some months ago, but at that time i didn’t have any idea how to fix it, so i just reinstalled my OS
