• Data execution prevention-window Explorer error when I try to access the windows Explorer, and more particularly when I try to watch videos.

  Original title: data execution prevention-window Explorer error

  Data execution prevention launches when I try to access the windows Explorer, and more particularly when I try to watch videos. So I tried to turn off DEP for windows Explorer. Now, I can access my videos, but they all have text on them that says video PHOTO, & www.jpg.com. I have not downloaded new software recently, so I don't know where it comes from. I ran my antivirus sofware and malwarebytes, and my system is to come clean. How can I remove this from my videos? Thank you!

  This isn't how to diagnose and repair the DEP errors - especially not Windows Explorer DEP errors.

• ReadyNas 314, impossible to access via Windows Explorer

  Have spend the last 3 hours trying to find a solution on other posts, but nothing helps.

  Novice at most, so when you can, please explain as I am 5.

  I have a new 4-Bay ReadyNAS and installed 4 new 4 TB drives. Currently connected to the router by ethernet.

  I use a Plex server on my PC. I store all my media on an external drive. I moved all my multimedia elements from the outside to the NAS.

  However, the last step is to map the NAS server to the letter of the drive that was older externally. For the life of me, I can't do it. I connected the NAS to your PC via ethernet, but when I try and click on the NAS, it says that it cannot access. I tried to do a variety of solutions, but none have worked so far. Quite possible I'm not on the right, and it's a simple solution.

  Please let me know what you all need additional details. I am really puzzled.

  Finally found the solution. I had to go to my Windows credentials manager and add my NAS server out there. Thank you!

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• How to remove or reset stored passwords for FTP site to Windows Explorer (Win XP)

  In fact I use Windows XP but I couldn't find a forum for this more.

  I have an FTP site, that I need to access regularly and his user name and password was stored for Windows Explorer could open it without asking for confirmation.  The user name & password have changed.  I deleted all the entries in my neighborhood network for the FTP site.  Still, he connects with the former name of user and password (UN/pw).  Access to this account is paralyzed, so I can't use it, but it get connected and so I know that he uses this UN/pw.  I tried to use the URL: ftp://user: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * and it always goes back to the old UN/pw.  I don't want to delete all passwords that will allow 'Internet Options'.  How to clear it?

  Hi Kev,

  I had the same problem but with Win 7.  I got mine to work by looking for the FTP site in the registry and delete it.

  Run regedit

  Searched using EDIT , FIND , ftp.whatever.com , clicking SEARCH the NEXT

  (Found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, FTP accounts )

  Right click on the site FTP send me problems (ftp.whatever.com) and deleted.

  Closed regedit.

  Pulled up to Windows Explorer: problem solved.

  You might want to give that a try.

• When you pass "Windows Explorer" stopping and restarting. Only happening since I installed 9 Microsoft Updates, the update of Windows 8 December 2009. (Vista Ultimate SP2)

  Each week, I (manually) install the recommended update of Windows updates. I'm under IE8 too. Also running Microsift Security Essentials.
  Since the installation of updated 9 dec, (KB974318, 905866, 890830, 976416, 973917, 970430, 976325, 976884, 971737) 8, about 3 - 5 times a day, I click to open a folder, or click a link - I get a window saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working".  He says while it collects information, and then restart Windows Explorer.
  It happened this morning, as soon as I clicked on "Windows Update" icon of the button 'start '. It also occurs when the single click to open a folder on my desktop or inside another folder.

  I've also observed sometimes when you try to delete an important file (for example 300 MB) the deletion starts but seems to hang and ends not - even after 10 minutes or more.

  Before installing the latest batch of updates I have not seen these problems within 9 months I've been running this machine.
  Any ideas?

  I run McAfee anti virus and it is up-to-date.  I also ran SpyBot and PC Tools 36 hours - clean.
  Last night I ran as Microsoft on line scanners - no found major problems, some problems of minor registry, which I corrected.
  Windows Explorer problem occurred twice since the scan.

  Someone knows a problem associated to the last batch of updates?
  Thank you.
  Colin

  I just spent a few hours of operation, McAfee, Spybot, PCTools Spyware Doctor Lavasoft Ad-Aware, removal tool Microsoft malicious software, Microsoft defender, PC Tools Registry mechanic. All work in a deep analysis, if appropriate and all give zero infections/problems.

  You can run the scan utility from now until the cows is home and still not detect & remove all this hijackware, Colin. See...

  Help: I got hacked. Now what should I do?

  Now see step #3 ("now run a thorough check for hijackware, including display asked newspapers...) in my previous answer.

• Repair Windows scam - cannot control panel access control or workstation "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  Original title: repair Windows scam - Can can't Access Control Panel or workstation

  My system has been recently infected with "Windows" repair"virus. I managed to delete using Super Anti-Spyware, but all my desktop shortcuts are gone (hidden) so I downloaded "Unhide.exe" and get all my shortcuts. Most of them seems to be working as before, but there are a few, such as 'My Computer', ' Panel, "My Documents", or even "Windows Explorer", which I can't access.» When I try to open them, I get this popup box saying "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" how much he out me of my office of kicks.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Brian

  The best way to solve this maybe just create a new user account, transfer your personal data to this account, and then delete the old account. Make sure that you perform the system restore after you did the new account and everything works fine. To purge the system restore, simply disable it then again. Be aware that the creation of a new user account is not the means to get rid of malware. But it is perhaps the best way to get rid of some of the after effects. However, I recommend you scan with Malwarebytes before running these instructions. After scanning you may not create the new account.

  In addition, Jose is correct. Good number of new forms of malware prevent the start in safe mode. Trying to force booting in SafeMode with msconfig, you end up with a boot loop.

• Access Windows Explorer for pictures

  When you go to 'Pictures' of the main sidebar it takes 10-15 minutes so that they appear on the screen. If I try to access the screen, I get a message saying "Windows Explorer is not responding". However, I can access the same images immediately via WORD, POWERPOINT or others using the mounting or insertion. It is a new problem that started suddenly about two weeks ago. I did the cleaning and getting rid of things I could think. Virus and spam have been verified, without interruption. Any thoughts? Thank you! Butch, I have a Windows Vista Home System.

  Hello No1engravr,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  Quick question for you. When you try to access your photo from windows Explorer what software did you use to open them? In other words when you double click to open a picture, it must open this photo with a particular software depending on what you set as the default value.

  There is an editing software that you can use for this purpose, but I recommend that you use windows Photo Gallery or Windows Picture Manager. To download, click on the link below

  http://download.live.com/Photogallery

  To set library as the software by default for editing your image, do the following

  Click Start > Panel > default programs

  Find and select the Windows Photo Gallery from the list (left) and -click set this program as default
  If please reply and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need further assistance.

• Problem with Windows Explorer and the recorded files

  When I save files from the internet and then open the folder with Windows Explorer in the backed up files, I find that WE consider not save them on my hard drive "change" more. I know it's strange, but I tend to retain files roughly in the order that I saved them, rather than by the name of the file or anything else. So now to manually change the files in a certain way, then save them to get them organized as I want. Of course, this can become very painful and long if I have a lot of files to organize this way. My question is: How can I get Windows to consider saving a file on my HDD as change? I use Firefox and updated recently, which may be the cause of the problem.

  Hi Flingle,

  Were you able to save and access files correctly before you update Firefox?

  You can create a new folder & try to download the file inside of Internet Explorer & check if the problem persists.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  I saw that error and even if it says access denied it will actually save your changes.  After you disable all move forward and apply then restart and see if it kept the changes.  If it's not then I hope that you are able to borrow a disc it would in time look for resettlement.
