If you have the Nero burning software installed, it could be this that is causing the problem.

Browse to the following directory using Windows Explorer:

C:Program FilesCommon FilesAheadDSFilter

Then rename the following items (if they exist) from .ax to .old, as this will prevent them from being accessed:

  • NeVideo.ax
  • NeroVideoProc.ax
  • lmpgspl.ax
    This will prevent some of the Nero codecs from rendering video thumbnails, which is most likely the cause of the problem.
