Ok, i dont know what the issue is but when i go into a directory with movies
or even on the desktop and hover over a movie it freezes that window and the
taskbar... i Ctrl+Alt+Del and Drwtsn32.exe is there.. i closed that debug
program out like always and it just refreshes the explorer.exe or if i should
say reloads because all open directory windows are gone.

Im kinda narrowing this down to being a codec problem or something.

The MMCompView utility displays the details of all installed multimedia components (Codec and ActiveX filters) and allows you to disable and enable specific components.
