I was downloaded about 9 movies last night from the site. Now, whenever I open the folder that contains the movies, I get an error "windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close......." i tried placing each individual movie in its own separate folder on the desktop, but it still crashes each time i open any folder. Anyone else had this problem? I was thinking of just burning them, deleting from my hard drive and hopefully that will fix it.

Tough to burn them when you can't get to them. Do they close your burning app as well?

Personally, I would just delete them.

it crashes only if i open the folder containing the movies. im going to try and burn them later tonight, hopefully it wont crash when i try to access them

ok this is getting really weird. i was able to burn the files onto dvd fine....however, when i access the dvd to look at the files on it, i get an error message. im going to delete all the movies, and try to redownload them and see if theres any problems.

ok, i finally fixed the problem. it was only on certain files that, even when I clicked on them would cause windows to crash. it started to do this with torrent files and movies from blueyoyo. i deleted the image and media preview, and now everything is fine. heres what i did in case anyone else has this problem:

Hi anonymous, many tks, I found it and here's the text for anyone else who may have the same problem sometime. "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's supported. Image files, HTML pages, video clips, MP3s, etc are all previewed (even with the folder view open).
If you have a large movie clip and it either is corrupt (ie. no index from a partial download) or it uses an unsupported codec, then Explorer tries to load the whole file. This can slow your computer a lot and prevent deleting/renaming/moving/etc the file until it's finished.
Simply do the following steps:
1) Open a command window (Start->Run, type in 'cmd' hit enter)
2) To remove image preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
3) To readd image preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
4) To remove media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
5) To readd media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shmedia.dll
