    Hello
    I have a folder named "Mutimedia" its size is 3 GB and it contains a lot of
    files (mp3, rm, wav, ...).
    Many times when I open this folder, I got "Windows Explorer has stopped working" message and the folder stopped working. (Just that folder)
    WHAT'S THE SOLUTION OF THIS DILEMMA?

    Hi,

     

    As rpshellextension.dll is a RealPlayer component, this issue can be related to RealPlayer. I suggest uninstalling RealPlayer to check the result.

     

    If the issue does not occur after RealPlayer is uninstalled, you can install VistaCodecPackage from the following site:

     

    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Codec-Packs-Video-Codecs/Advanced-Vista-Codec-Package.shtml

     

    Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.

     

    After that, you can use Windows Media Player to play most videos.

     

    Hope it helps.
