Hello,

I have a fairly large (not by this forum's standards) HD split into different partitions. One of these partitions is around 67 Gigs, and about 45 gigs of that is taken up by video files (yeah, spare me ). There is nothing else on the drive (partition). Anyway, with the large amount of files I need to sort them into somewhat managable folders.

The problem is, unless I am working in Safe mode, I have started getting a Windows Explorer error. I can open the drive, open a large folder (amature for instance), and the error report will hit. I have tried to defragment the drive, move the file set to a new clean partition, and sort files in safe mode to place less files in each folder. To no avail, in Win XP, almost as soon as I open any folder in that set, I keep getting the same error. Here is what the error report contains:


AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: mpeg2dmx.ax
ModVer: 2.0.84.30429 Offset: 0000dff3



Can anyone help me fix the file structure of this drive so I no longer get this or any other error? Would a clean Win XP install help? I'm at a loss in how to handle this drive of valid data that is crashing Windows Explorer.

Thanks.

The data integrity is probably fine, but whatever codec needed to play them back is probably corrupt. Track it down, delete it, and re-install it. As an alternative, try to adjust the folder's display settings to anything other than "Thumbnail."

You think it's a codec problem with perhaps one or two vids, interesting.


You brought up a good point, this error does NOT happen when I am in list mode or something other than thumbnail.


Another key piece of info I forgot to mention is that this error does not happen unless I am accessing a folder in that partition. It is not a systemwide problem.
