windows explorer "stopped working" in vista constantly HELP!!!

Expand Post »
greetings to all and thanks for taking the time to read this...

ill get down to the point - whenever i go into my documents or any folder non-internet related, it immediately stops working and needs to shut down... i have a problem report up right now on Vista which says it is because of something called mpegsplitter.ax
to be honest i have no idea what this is or where it came from... and im very famililar with this computer and what goes onto the drives
i have a fresh hi-jackthis log in case that may help and here are some specs for the laptop:

dell inspiron e1505
windows vista home premium
2gb ram
norton internect security

I would ask the same question:

If you do not know what this is (easily the most recognized executable in a Spyware forum for the last 8-9 years), you really have no business posting in such a forum.
