I have fixed it so easy. use search and search for xvid, it will find xvid.dll, and xvid.ax, remove both these files into a folder to back them up should you have any problems, i have not had any yet. You also need to remove Glzw.dll

so remove :

xvid.dll
xvid.ax
Glzw.dll

I done that and everything is normal now. Ghetto_uk

Very Cool! I have K-Lite Codecs installed on my computer. Luckily I haven’t had any issues yet so far, but glad that I came across this now before the problem started in mine. Lord knows I don’t have a lot of hair left to pull out anymore!

Computers are annoying at times. LOL

Thank you 1000x

I spent hours trying to fix this problem.. nothing worked until I did your registry fix:

this is what fixed it for me:

Now navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\
If there is a key called PropertyHandler in there, delete the value (Default). Then it will appear as an empty value. Finally close the registry editor and reboot the computer.

I’m piling on with the love, KT and Daz. I only had the trouble for a day, and didn’t have to search long before I found this page. Thanks!

I am just another happy camper now too!! I had thought it was a software issue all along…but would never have known what to look for first. Can’t express how annoying it was to have explorer crash each time I looked at an avi folder, never mind trying to open said folder. Great save to all concerned, I went for the k-lite codec fix myself, & am now in avi heaven.
