The same problem as mine…I solved by uninstalling the codecs behind it, the problem then is ” Window explorer has stopped working” the system root problem is “APPCRASH” by explorer.exe., fault module,,xvidcore.dll, so I uninstalled “klite mega pack codec and re-install it..Perfect !!! problem solved due to to some codecs has been missing and lost their paths by probably registry cleaning..so it’s unwise to clean registry fully..only the high risk ones should be deleted….this may help if problem like this might encounter….
