Hi,
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
Try and write these commands,and test your explorer.dont write all the commands,i advise you to carry out these steps one by one and go to your explorer and try right clicking a file.Tell me the results.
Good luck!

What about the other comands,did u give them a try?

I tried them all.. i get the same orror for some reason it doesn't see regsvr32 as a command... I believe this could possibly be a path issue?
yeah,it is a path,but with me it worked fine,im also using sp2 and it fixed the problem.is it when you click just any file,or a file that contains multimedia stuff?
oh,sorry you are using xp sp1,it still shouldn't be a problem finding the path.
how about trying this explorer.Give it a try and see whether the explorer will crash while right clicking the file.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Problems related to right-clicking are most likely due to a poorly written context menu handler. Download ShellExView at http://www.nirsoft.net and install it. Any non-ms handlers will display in a pink row. Disable all the pink ones and see if the problem is still there (sort by company to get all the pinks together).
If that fixes the problem, re-enable the pink ones one by one until you find the culprit. If not, start working on the Microsoft handlers.
Good luck.

Do you have an All in One printer such as lexmark? Also is there ay indications in the event veiwer after the crash. And does the same thing happen in safe mode??
