More info?)
Tbanks for the reply. I ended up re-installing Win2K. I've had similar
problems in the past and then I also had to reinstall Windows 2000.
This time I made sure I have a "clean" disk image so if it happens
again I can get back fast.
The extension on which the explorer died was both .avi as .mpg.
The media player was version 9.
I tried switching to classic view but then when I selected the file
and pressed the right mouse button I got the same result.
Only solution was reinstall..
