hi,
this is on a new install of windows and when i right click on video clips explorer stops responding and windoms says something about drwatson debugger. i haven't installed dr watson. also if i click on video files windows says there is an error and hangs until i end explorer. also (lol) it often says windows stopped data execution in windows explorer :s

will post screenies if i can.

thanks

Strange as i got the problem as well, it only happens when i select video files in explorer, this is on a new install too, i just searched for a fix and found one. :)

1) Open a command window (Start->Run, type in 'cmd' hit enter)

2) To remove media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll

If you need to restore media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shmedia.dll

I think its got something to do with codecs, like if you don't have the right one it will crash when trying to read the file properties, i suspect it usually just doesn't bother reading it if it can't but for some reason it does and crashes, this fixed the problem but you won't get the video information anymore.

thanks, it hasnt happened since i deleted drwtsn32.exe however i have also done what you suggested.
