Mr "Etal's" suggestion (above) may well prove to be an effective
trouble-shooter.

But my advice concerning "Thumbnail Caching" was *not* the most important
part of my suggestion.

Did you, as I first advised, run a full Disk Error Checking on the system
drive [c:] (or the drive where the photos reside)??

If not then, I will say it again ;

Open a command-prompt (type "cmd.exe" into the "Run" box on the Start
Menu)

....and type in the following command :

CHKDSK /F C:

....it will return the message :

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

...press the [Y] key to allow chkdsk to run on your [c:] drive when the
computer next reboots.

Then reboot your computer ASAP, after the above.

Reasoning : If there happens to be disk [data] errors in the location of
the pictures folder you are trying to access, then, as an explorer
sub-process tries to read [display] a picture, an error will be generated.
Notwithstanding, you should regularly run [ chkdsk.exe /f ] for continued
system health.

Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-)

Thank you, Etal. Unregistering the second file (ShMedia.dll) seems
to be working. I have not tried the others and I am keeping my
fingers crossed that the problem is resolved. I appreciate your
help and of those who tried to help.
Cheers.

Good to hear, hope it keeps.
If it does, had it been my computer, i'd still be curious if
(temporarily) re-registering that file would reintroduce the
crashing or not.

(Score plus one for keeping the file viewer separate from the
file content viewers.)

Nah-ah. I'm staying out of this. ... Now, here's my opinion.
From: Adhal on 11 Jun 2010 04:46
I thought it might be a codecs issue as it sounded like one. It is either you have missing codecs or
conflicting codecs. Right now you won't have any video previews. If you want video previews you need
to install correct video codecs. Google it and you should be able to find a solution.

To lazy to google try one these codec packs (Install only one codecs pack)
www.codecguide.com (Go for lights version)
www.cccp-project.net

If you have any other codecs installed you might have to remove them first.

Personally, I disable video previews as it can be slow. But it's up to you. If you want the previews
installing a package is the safest option, just disable Real Media and Quick Time support (NOT
recommended). You then should be able to see previews of Divx, Xvid, mp4 and God knows what else.
