Windows Explorer Shuts down after hidden check off

Hi,
After I select show hidden files and folders in Folder options an error
appears stating Window Explorer encountered a problem...... Must shut down
But when I un-select show hidden files and folders the error does not appear.
I am also having a problem with Windows Media Palyer 6.0 shutting down after
video is played even though it's set to repeat play.

thank you

What is the malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean,
what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

Hello,
I am using Ad A Ware and SpyBot along with AVG Antivirus.
Nothing unusual is coming up in the scans, I also tried HiJack This-
but do not see anything really out of the ordinary.

thank you

Please go through the removal steps I already gave you which are more
thorough than what you've done. Do not skip the preparatory work. If you
want someone to take a look at your HJT log, register at one of the
following specialty forums. Please do not post logs in the MS newsgroups.

Hello again,
I've tried the Trend Micro SysCleaner in Safe Mode after the Preparatory
work up
It found no Virus and only 4 suspect cookies.
Problem still exist so I send my Hijack This log to Aumha forum
Thanks for your help--
