Windows Explorer has encountered a problem

Everytime I open certain folders (mainly ones with divx/xvid/avi files within) Windows explorer crashes. I have tried reviewing the forum for a solution, and have found some similar postings, however none have been able to resolve my problem. I tried removing my divx player as well as any xvid codecs but to no avail. I also came across some info. in another forum saying AC3Filter could be causing the issue, but upon removing AC3Filter I still received the error. The exact message reads:
-----------
