Windows Xp explorer shut down when opening AVI files

[Mactry]

Having a problem when doing movie with Adobe Premiere pro 1.5. I save my video in a folder, in AVI format, and when I access it via windows explorer it froze when there is over 4-5 video in it. If I remove 1-2 video from the folder, everything is fine. My computer is a 3ghz HT, 2go ram and 200 go hard drive.

822430 - Windows Stops Responding When You Click a Large AVI File in Windows Explorer

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822430&FR=1&PA=1&SD=HSCH

There is a bug in XP in handling AVI files, where the file is corrupt or broken, causing explorer to read the whole file looking for index or property details.

It has been suggested to correct this misbehavior in Windows XP, remove the following registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}\InProcServer32

This will prevent Explorer from loading shmedia.dll in response to file property queries on these files.



Also try these.

A suggested workaround: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to
the key below and delete the default data (right pane).

For AVI's

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\
shellex\PropertyHandler

For MP3's

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp3\shellex\PropertyHandler

Note: Make a backup of each key before editing.


Have a look around these links.

Select a file - windows stops.
