Backup Microsoft Windows has stopped working
I use an external hard drive to back up my files. The old backup files have been removed. Now when I try to back up my files, I get the message to create a new full backup. When I go into the settings and try to create a new full backup I get the message "backup of microsoft windows has stopped working".
The CheckDisk does not resolve the issue. However, I have solved my problem: create a new full backup on a disk separate trip then copied these files on my external hard drive, retried the backup by using the external hard drive and it succeeded. Everything should be OK now.

Looks like your system is good enough corupted. I backup my data and restore the computer to factory settings. The procedure for this varies from a make and model to another, but should be in the documentation for your computer.

Microsoft Explorer has stopped working
I have Vista premium 64 bit which worked well for 8 months. Now, I'm getting Microsoft Explorer has stopped working suite by Microsoft Explorer restarts. In this case problably 10 to 15 times a day when I try to perform a task that requires exploring. In addition, IE explore has the same problem (I was using IE7 32 bit until he leaves then I installed IE8 - worked for 3 days of work, then he started too fault, I tried the 32-bit versions and 64-bit - same problem). Firefox works fine! I tried to do a restore, but crashes with a blue screen of death each time. I have a Dell 430 quad-processor with 8 GB of ram. Any suggestions that I have not already tried another that reformat and reinstall the OS?
Hello
IE and Explorer are closely related, so things that affect one affect both.
Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK
Close and restart IE or IE with no addons
not better?
IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).
