nope.......i know the problem....

its happened to me before, and its happened to a friend of mine as well.....its codecs issues

windows xp likes to put video folders in thumbnail view, however if its having a problem with a codec, then it will fail to load the thumbnail, and result in crashing

the solution is to uninstall whatever codecs you have now (most likely its the xvid thats causing the problem) and try dling another version or reinstalling it
Okay, I will try this when I have some time and let you guys know, but it looks like this is the answer. Thanks.
