The other option may be to uninstall and re-install Power DVD as it inludes its own versions of the main Mpeg2 codecs for DVD.
If you find "explorer" is the culprit then I may have a fix for you which involves disabling the "properties handler" for avi's in the registry as the presence of partial avi's gives XP a mental breakdown.

While powerdvd is running, system idle process rarely drops below 70% and never below 60%. Explorer is using no more than 3 to 4% With powerDVD using the rest.
I have tried removing & restoring powerdvd, audio drivers and video drivers. I have also done a restore back to 23rd of December (the oldest restore point I have) all with no sucess.
