Windows XP and thumbnail displaying

Question

When I open up a certain folder with mpg files in them displayed as thumbnails, I get an error saying windows explorer needs to close.  I click the do not send button and then windows goes totally clear so all I see is the background, then after 2 seconds everything is back up minus that folder I had opened.  This folder doesn't have tons of files to display thumbnails for so its not like my computer can't handle it.  What makes it do this and how do I get it to stop.  I can open the folder fine if it doesn't display thumbnails and it only effects this one folder.  Thanks

Change the View setting of that folder to List or Details. Then go to Tools, Folder Options in Windows Explorer, View tab, check Remember each folder's settings and OK it.

Yeah but that just avoids the problem.  I want to see the thumbnails.  Any ideas to fix it?  Thanks
