First make sure you have the latest XviD video codec found there http://koepi.roeder.goe.net/xvid.shtml and make sure your Windows is updated. Second if it continues to do this try with different software. Third if it continues to do this.I think you have no choice but to desactivate Windows for creating and updating thumbnail. This techniques requires to edit the registry. Click on "Start", "Execute... " then type "regedit" and click on "OK" to reach the registry editor of Windows. Then browse to that key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E} Below this key,you should see one named InProcServer32 .Just delete it. Found this hint on a French site and thanks them.You can find that hint, in french if you can understand it at http://www.generation-nt.com/astuces-123.html Btw they offers .reg to deactivate and reactivate that key.

I tried some different solutions and now it works flawlessly (so far). I uninstalled by old xvid coded and installed the new one, but something in the new one seems to have conflicts with something else >_<. Then I downloaded and installed ffdshow, and now it works. I googled for: xvid crash explorer, and it seems that conflicts with explorer is a fairly common problem with the new xvid version. I found many different solutions to the problem. Removing the show thumbnails did not fix the crashes.

Try the VLC player at http://www.videolan.org It's the player I've used for every video I've downloaded off this site, and I've never had any problems.
