Windows Explorer crashes when particular file selected or moused over

I have the wierdest problem. I used Pinnacle to create an AVI file. If I mouseover the file name in indows Explorer, I get the message "windows explorer has encountered an error and must close down". I have re-created the file and the problem still occurs. The problem does not occur if I select other AVI files that were produced in the same way. I repeated the same process now using a different AVI codec and the problem still remains. The file name is 3.avi. I renamed the file three.avi and the problem still occurs. What is going on?
