Hi Jyeshta,
Good to see ya :)

I'm still around but the fix I know applies to XP and video files.
Cerulean is welcome to try it, it is easily reversed.

Start Menu
Run....
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
OK

You should get a message saying the service has been unregistered.

To reverse the fix
Start Menu
Run....
regsvr32 shmedia.dll
OK
