DreamScene Crashes Explorer

Hey guys, just yesterday I downloaded the Windows DreamScene Content Pack #3 and since then, whenever I try to apply a dreamScene background, explorer.exe crashes. It was working fine before except for random crashes every once in a while caused by dreamscene. But now I cannot even attempt to apply a dreamscene background. When i try, I get the following error message:
"Windows Explorer has stoped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem and try to restart the program."
Does anyone know why it is crashing all of a sudden? I am blaming it on the new content pack but it could also be something else, because I haven't updated my computer in a while so I just finished applying all the windows updates yesterday including a few drivers (one of which I already had to roll back because of problems). Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Beginner1, I tried the link you said and it worked. Thank you very much. Basically all I had to do was reinstall an MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 codec. Thanks again.
