File Properties

A problem with a computer running WinXp Service Pack 3 -while right clicking a file in the explorer view, we find a Summary tab that contain properties such as Author, Last Saved By, Dimensions etc. She can no longer get the summary for video files such as .avi,.mpeg etc.all other files are fine. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Checked the registry and things seem ok.
Here is a sample of the avi registry

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.avi]

What program does she use to manage her media files? Is the information available for MP3 files? AIFF? WMA?
