AVI Files causing Windows Explorer to hang (not respond)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi,
While in Windows Explorer, if I happen to look in a folder that just
contains an AVI file from my Canon S2 IS digital camera (don't even open the
AVI file), DrWatson gives me a warning (can't remember the details) and then
Windows Explorer hangs and have to do a CTRL-ALT-DEL to terminate W.E. and
error report goes out to Microsoft. (no response of course) Happens every
time.This does not happen on my notebook computer so there has to be a
problem (conflict?) on this desktop.

Any suggestions as to what is causing this problem?

Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Kelly. Will try this. Dumb question perhaps but what do I do with the
..vbs file?
