This is a known bug that only happens with Windows XP. Actually, it's already fixed in the current private beta version of Media Preview.

Hi, thanks for your interest in Media Preview. It won't change any file association and won't change anything on the video files themselves. Media Preview simply reads video files and then stores thumbnails into the system cache. When you uninstall, everything will be back to default. The "rest...

Then try to launch the tester again.

Epamitut, please dowload and launch the attached RegTester, then click on the OK button.
It should display a message box with some relevant pieces of information for me. Send me back a screenshot of it, I'll see what I can do.
