Frustrating explorer.exe error when opening MP3 files

Hello
I am running W2kPro SP4. I have approximately 6000 MP3 files I can't access. When I click (left or right) on any MP3 file, I get the message "explorer.exe has generated errors... blah blah blah.
I ran Spybot, Ewido and HijackThis to eliminate any spyware. I disabled all non-Microsoft shell extensions in ShellExView. I ran the repair from the W2K disc. I reinstalled SP4. I ran sfc.exe /scannow. I have seached high and low for a solution with no success.
My kids got new MP3 players for Christmas and can't load them with music due to this problem.
Does anyone have any more suggestions?
Thanks
Hammer

Here is a HJT logfile just in case it might help

Hello Hammer,

Can you access in Safe Mode? And are these the only files you get errors with?

Regards - Charles

 

I tried to start in safe mode but it freezes during startup. Could it possibly be hardware related?

Hello Hammer,

See if there is a problem with any explorere shells first.
