    Open Photoshop or some other program and look at the files in there - it will be one file that is causing it to crash. You've gotta find that file.

    Yeah its a corrupt movie causing the problem. You can disable the thumbnail preview to find it.

    Open a command prompt

    Start>>Run>>type cmd>>OK

    To disable the automatic preview run,

    regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll

    Try and find the corrupt movie and remove it from that folder. Then turn preview back on with,

    regsvr32 shmedia.dll

    I had exactly this the other day. just deleted the file and its fine now
    when i actually opened the folder, windows would just constantly refresh itself, requiring a restart
