• Creative Desktop Cloud crash Windows Explorer install and crashes

  This all started with my inability to activate Adobe Acrobat on my computer after wiping the hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

  I had no problem initially download or install anything Adobe Creative cloud. I ran several apps and they worked (although mode of trial for one or two days)

  And then the original problem: trying to activate Adobe Acrobat could not get to the login screen.

  It would hang for about 30 minutes, and then return to the error that the computer's clock must be incorrect or an error with the Internet connection. (It is a type error documented on the Adobe site that says you must make sure that your computer can really make each Adobe activation servers/websites/etc. I checked everything in the troubleshooting list to be sure, but found nothing wrong with the computer or the ability to access Adobe sites.

  Exasperated. I went online technical support. It was definitely level 1 support (checking me all the stuff that I had already spent a time check - and had already told him that I tested this).

  In any case, I spent an hour on chat with Adobe Tech Support through the usual stuff.

  He had me check the anti-virus programs, the computer clock, source of Adobe sites (such as license servers). But nothing ever helped or worked. Then he told me to try to go directly to the Adobe Creative Cloud site and try to download and install the desktop creative cloud Manager. I did but it blocks when he launched the Manager on the initial window with a Creative cloud black bar at the top (with the tool drop down menu on the right side) but never loads the rest of the window.

  After an hour of running around in circles, I decided it would be best to try again later with someone in the second level support.

  In the meantime, I uninstalled all Adobe applications. There is no Flash Player, not Acrobat Reader - nothing Adobe in my list of programs.

  I then tried to download and install Adobe Application Manager. It works until the moment where he launches the Creative Cloud Desktop tools and then crashes at the same place.

  There is a window of creative cloud with the normal black bar at the top - but the rest of the window (which would normally see and load apps from) remains empty.

  I rebooted the computer several times to be sure that it is a new start. That did not help at all. Something extra in these multiple attempts, I noticed, is that when the Creative Cloud Desktop Manager gets Installer about 95% of fact, it causes Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer, but Windows Explorer) down. Once Windows Explorer resets, creative cloud continues the installation but then opens the window (above) has nothing other than the black header.

  I fight for what to do next. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Now I'm paying $50 a month for something, I can not install or use.

  For what it's worth, the system is a laptop HP running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64. 8 GB of RAM and a lot of HARD drive space. All the updates of security and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. I doubt that this last line is relevant because I could run it without problem before wiping the hard drive AND it worked without problem - other than Acrobat activating at the beginning of this whole thing.

  I don't think Explorer is crashing, but just restart.  I think it's normal.

• 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.

• How can I reset the settings in Windows Explorer?

  In Windows Explorer, I found a strange behaviour. Double click on a folder in the right pane, under "Name" opens a new window, but it is the search engine. To change this, I clicked Tools - Folder Options - File Types and found 2 symbols of file with Extensions (NONE). Called him "File Folder", the other was called "folder". Looking for their settings by clicking Advanced, I found 'find' to the file and 'explorer' and 'open' sub-folder.

  I edited the file file Type by adding 'Explorer' and 'open' and put ' exploration ' by default which is in bold it.

  The first syptom disappeared and no window of 'research' more open unexpectedly, but the new window opens in a new window instead of the same window. It made no difference by changing the setting in Tools - Folder Options - general - browse folders: open each folder in the same window/open each folder in a window own tis.

  Also, I couldn't explore to memorize the settings of my privileged point of view: details. It is always default to tiles.

  Hello

  Have you tried to Folder Options > view > reset records? It is the button in the top right.

  You can change these views by changing the settings of view Windows Explorer.

  Click on view and then add the status bar and change the display option for the icons (I like to use the details).

  But sometimes these settings will return to default. Even if you click on apply to all folders, settings may return by default.

  One thing you can try is to set your favorite view, then instead of closing the window using the X in the upper right corner, close it via the file menu. This is known to keep the settings in place for some time.

  Another solution to the problem is to reset the point of view of folder.

  To do the following:

  1. start the registry (Regedit.exe) editor.

  2. look for the following key in the registry:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU

  and

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

  3. make sure that you back up the key by exporting them to a .reg file.

  4 remove the keys. You've just turned XP out-of-the-box settings.

  5. close the registry editor.

  6. restart your computer.

  7 customize your folder view.

  8. now the new views of folder must remain in place.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Windows Explorer crashes or resets whenever open the system properties, among other things

  So, recently, I had one set of questions arise in windows seven, apparently at random. It started to happen when I disabled it Internet Explorer (which I had reactivated it after that I saw coming problems) and uninstall my old antivirus (AVG Free). I also installed Windows updates not too long ago (after a long period of leave it turned off). I think it was about a week and a half ago or not.

  First of all, I noticed that the Windows Photo Viewer launches (even with the live Gallery, have not really tried the other windows live applications). After an investigation, I noticed that the dllhost.exe process would start up when I would try to launch the photo viewer, but would end not too long after. Apparently, I Live Gallery to run at startup (with anything other than HP related; it is as well as the laptop I use), but it doesn't seem to work in this case.
  Second, most of my programs installed (Mumble, the pitcher in the League of legends, steam, Skype, among other things) suddenly had to be run in compatibility mode for Windows 7... in Windows 7. Otherwise they don't start/stop working and other. Obviously, this is not good. I have not explored the question too, it's all I have on it.
  Third, whenever I open the System Properties Windows, either through my computer > properties or control panel, windows Explorer stops and restarts. Only this single window.
  I tried running sfc, who gave no results after a reboot (without reset my start ORB custom). A second performance immediately after the said nothing was wrong. I ran windows in safe mode, which seemed to have solved the issue of windows Explorer (not too sure Photo Gallery, because it cannot be run in safe mode). Since nothing seemed wrong then, I tried to run in clean boot mode, brings the issue of Explorer back, but solved the problem of Windors and Live Gallery Photo Viewer. I tried many restored system (a restore before windows update has solved my problem of Photo Viewer, but this restore point has long been lost at the time where this all started to happen all together). On a side note, I got a voip program, Mumble, to run correctly after all this happens, if I reinstall, repair or run the program in compatibility mode again.
  I spent my time recently trying to understand the issue of windows Explorer, and everything that I had going on right now is that it might have something to do with ntdll.dll
  . Here is the report of the accident event viewer and reboot:

  I'm at a loss right now on how to solve this problem. I was planning to do a reinstall in place, but I don't have a copy of the Windows 7 disc, nor have I any DVD big enough to spare a. I have to take this laptop for repairs of the hinge, and I don't want this issue ballooning the cost of the repairs on my laptop should I take on someone to fix for me.
  I ran my new (MSE) antivirus and MalwareBytes to check for problems, and they found some (if I remember correctly, it was potential threats in internet explorer, which I use never, incidentally). After the removal of these questions, everything seems to stay the same.
  A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

  Departure - in the search box, type-> order

  Type the following commands (or copy and paste one at a time), each followed by pressing on enter.

  ipconfig/flushdns

  netsh int Reinitialis

  netsh int ip reset

  netsh winsock reset

  RESET

  That resets your TCP/IP stack

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

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

  load address of the driver, description, version, product name, who created the company
  the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit system Maker as replacements and manufacturer device which are the
  most up-to-date. Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write it down
  and complete the model tab of the driver for your video - double-click - card write
  to the bottom of the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing as MS is
  far behind certification pilot) - then right-click - Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh
  the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you install

  So beyond, I'm done with this laptop. He started by run me windows update and the awakening of a BSOD. Now browse those tedious threads, I know that the next thing people want are the dumpfiles. Well, you cannot make them because it won't create dumpfiles. I checked everywhere for them and double-checked to make sure that when I got bsod it is correctly configured to do. It will not create them. So ok, the next thing people say is running scandisk Sfc. Nope, BSOD in the course. Chkdsk? Nope, BSOD. during the. This laptop has a coherent dpc latency problem where every 10-13 seconds it stings really high, distorting the audio. I tried to disable drivers, update drivers, pulling on the battery, and it won't go away. To * with it I say, I can deal with that, besides there is probably a hardware problem, it's an old inspiron 5040. The greatest success in fixing something comes sfc running in safe mode with cmd prompt. He got to 100% and has absolutely nothing more. All this stems from the windows updates failed. But this latest issue is the water drop. Before the windows explore stopped working/restart loop, which prevents me from running damn near all executable on ANY startup mode, I was getting semi-fonctionnalites off safe mode with network. I was inside my damndest to try to solve the problems without paying a penny for the repair (because it's my operating system from windows to the 3rd address I got incredibly frustrated with questions and I'm NOT GOING to sink more money into the purchase/solve this *) but after a month of countless BSOD and failed system restore (BSOD on those too) I decided to say the * with it , it can still be used for browsing with chrome at least, since I found a way to activate the sounds of the internet registry. I had used it for about a month and realized that internet Explorer was causing in fact a kind of conflicts, because all applications requiring an i.e worked incorrectly, display of white windows resources that need to be pulled with knowledge then I tried to reinstall that is and makes the mistake of restarting, forget the automatic Windows Update. Well, I is none of that with this time and tried to turn off the pc before it started with nothing else than a glorified blue screening method. To restart, I got "windows is the restoration of changes", another reboot, then a "Welcome" I get started in the regular office, (not safe mode or anything like that) and he gives me a small white window with "custom settings" on it and literally nothing else. No toolbar, no desktop shortcuts. Wait a few seconds and I get "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and the option to close the window. safemodes boot loop to stop/restart windows Explorer and I can't do anything appear the Task Manager which is pretty useless, because I can't really do anything here except close programs that are not accessible in the first place. Safe mode only I can enter is the one with the command prompt. I don't really know what else to do. Quite happy to take a hammer and break the laptop for parts. There are so many problems with this thing, I doubt that someone will be able to help in any way especially withouth minidumps the BSOD. But if there is something simple that I'm missing for at least the minimum functionality that I was getting out of it until windows update in ruins me, feel free to try to solve the problems. The code the most common bsod I get is 0xf4. I put my money on half of the problem with the hard drive itself and the rest of the question was any other defective hardware. But ill be doomed if I buy another harddrive just to have more questions.

• Firefox crashes when you open a windows Explorer window

  I had this problem for 2 days, every time Firefox opens a windows Explorer window it would completely freeze, so every time I have try to save an image, look for a file/folder and so on. The problem started last night, but I had not added Add ons for firefox, plugins or installed new software on my pc. I tried to leave firefox alone when he did freeze to see if it be sorted, but when I went to check on it four hours later it was still frozen.

  My current operating system is Windows Vista, with a fresh install of the latest Firefox. Before I reinstalled it, I tried to launch reseting Firefox in safe mode, and delete my history, which none worked, neither does the new installation solved my problem.

  I just did a scan of my PC virus and it seems that the problem has been corrected, if someone else has this problem, scan your pc for viruses and to get rid of them, I hope that the problem should disappear as it has done for me.

• the videos do not work in Firefox, but work fine in windows Explorer. Why?

  I tried to check my plugin and all are enabled. I found here where it was suggested to delete and reinstall Firefox, but that did not fix problem either. I tried to change the Viewer for video, but still no luck. Not sure why Quicktime does not work. Note that when browsing videos will not open, but everything else works fine. Videos work very well with windows explore, but not Firefox.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  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.

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
  above is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
  found)
  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.

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.
