Error WMPDXM.DLL in Explorer
This problem seems to be the result of a damaged Windows Media Player 9
install and using Windows Explorer's web view rather than classic view. So, as a first suggestion, try reinstalling WMP9. Zachd from Microsoft recently posted in the windowsme.multimedia newsgroup the following reply to a poster experiencing similar problems to those you are seeing. "Hm. Do you get the chance to send a crash report? If so, there may be a crash bucket number that it might be possible to use to glean further information here... This could only really happen if the multimedia view was being at least initiated (if not displayed) for those folders. Obviously, you should be able to get rid of this error by turning off the Web View and switching back to Classic View for your folders. Alternatively and not recommended, you can run "regsvr32 c:\windows\system\msdxm.ocx", which will put WMP6 (not WMP9) back in charge of shell folder multimedia preview. You can run "regsvr32 c:\windows\system\wmpdxm.dll" to undo that." -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP ikra wrote: Every time I try to open Explorer, My shared Folder, Control Panel or anything related to Explorer, I get an error message: "Explorer has cause an error in WMPDXM.DLL" and crashes.

Error WMPDXM.DLL in Explorer
Thank's Mike !!!
Well I tell you what's happen'd. First I tried to run the line "Explorer.exe" and it worked. I could reach every file in My computer, but all links on Desktop or 'Control Panel' still didn't work and still crashed (???). Then I tried to re-install WMP9 and even make an install of a certain file due to a problem with 'system restore' and 'checkpoints'. That didn't solve the problem!!! I'd tried to open 'My computer' and it crashes again. To your question: no reports appears. After the error message, I click OK and Explorer crashes taking\closing with him some startups programs. However I did run the line you gave me ("regsvr32 c:\windows\system\msdxm.ocx") advising me that it wasn't recomended, but in my case it did help. I've already opened all Explorer windows and it's OK now, evrything works. But note: I checked WMP and its version is still 9.0 (???). It doesn't bother me. A question: How I change From 'WebView' to 'ClassicView'??
