Hello everyone,
I’m joining you because I have a very annoying problem.
I no longer have access to my workstation.
When I go to it it lasts 5 seconds then I receive an error message: Explorer.exe is not responding, then just a background screen with the programs and the taskbar reappearing. I looked at topics that talked about this but none helped me, I ran a chkdsk /F /R (I think that’s it). Scanned with CCleaner.
If someone knows or can help that would be really great since I must absolutely have access to my workstation to retrieve files.

Thanks in advance, Teddy.

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.6.11

    Hello

    If you are having problems with Explorer, do this: Start / Run, then enter: regsvr32 -u shmedia.dll
    and press the "enter" key

    Best regards

    The issue with shmedia.dll happens more when opening a video folder, like My Documents (well, maybe there are videos on the desktop).

    This one happens every 5 seconds.
    It could be malware-originated, your problem.

    So if what untenshu gave you doesn’t work, tell us, we’ll do some manipulations :)

    The problem seems to be fixed!
    Since I record videos while I play, I had a folder with about 400 videos, so this small code to type in the Run dialog works perfectly.

    I’ll keep you posted in case!

    Thank you!!!!
