Black screen - cannot run Explorer.exe with Task Manager

Hi guys

I've been Googling the answer to that for the last day and nothing seemed to work.

Basically, my portable was working fine until this morning, when I restarted. After the home screen, just a rear screen with the mouse. CTRL ALT DEL and everything still works normally. I can run programs with the Task Manager, but can not run explorer.exe. He returned in the process for about 10 seconds then disappears. I think that it is the cause of the black screen. I tried downloading an own explorer.exe and replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\. My computer it did not as he said I need the permission of the administrator, but of course, I am the Admin so I don't know what that's all.
I tried to restart in Mode safe and that works very well, still, I can't replace the explorer.exe in the C:\Windows\ because I do not have the administrative authorization. I tried to change it in the Security tab of the properties, or impossible.
I also tried to update the driver software graphics cards, checked the Shell in the registry value and made sure it's explorer.exe, used the difficulty of black of Pevx screen, used HitmanPro and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to scan and remove malware. I even did a scf/scannow, checked driver C a mistake (which took 3 hours!), let Windows Startup Repair to fix things, tried a system restore but failed. He says that the anti-virus (Sophos) prevented the restoration of the system, so I've temporarily disabled its access scanning on but still unable to restore to a previous (11/01). Program changes that recent such as listed in the system restore is Google + Auto BackUp who came when set Picasa to date there 3 days and a more recent version of Facebook video call I've ever used. I am now running a scan with Sophos, not too promising.
So yes, I tried everything. I think that now, there are only three options:

1 somehow replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\ with this new cool explorer.exe, which I downloaded, with the permission of the administrator
2. try another restore of the system, but I'm sure that nothing will happen, already tried three times.
3 reinstall Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. It will be a real pain.

So please help me! I have courses of due on Monday and this portable do not let me what that be done. Thank you!!!

Please ignore the other my long answer. The problem has now been resolved.

After trying all kind of scans, drinking and sobbing, I came across TDSS Killer from Kaspersky, who managed to catch a 1 latest unique malicious software (that I was too stupid and really looked hopeless and remember the name of), it cures the problem after reboot. Now, the laptop works well like you wouldn't believe. I'm still confused but way too happy now to care. Thanks a lot for your help nevertheless!

  • Cannot start Explorer from the Task Manager shell, if another program is already specified as shell.

    Hey people.
    The company that I work uses Windows XP to run some software owners. Our software is configured to run as nt\currentversion\winlogon\ HKLM\microsoft\windows shell shell. I tried setting the shell two our product and random software like messenger or just the C drive, and every time when you use "run" of the Task Manager to open the explorer.exe shell, my documents will be opened instead of other things.
    It will open my documents instead of the shell until I have two close open windows, excluded the Task Manager and set the entrance to Shell back to "Explorer.exe".
    This problem persists between the platforms, and I've tried everything I can think of.
    Any help will be great.

    The Stop 0 x 24 message indicates that a problem has occurred in Ntfs.sys, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. A message similar to Stop 0 x 23, exists for the file systems (FAT16 or FAT32) file allocation table to.

    Possible resolutions:

    1. hardware malfunctioning SCSI and Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) or drivers can also adversely affect the ability of the system to read and write to disk, causing errors. If you use SCSI hard disks, check the wiring problems and ending between the SCSI controller and the disks. Periodically check Event Viewer for error messages that are associated with SCSI or FASTFAT in the journal system or Autochk in the application log.

    2. check that the tools that allows you to continuously monitor your system, such as virus scanners, programs of backup or disk defragmenters are compatible with Windows XP. Some drives and cards are issued with diagnostic software that you can use to run hardware tests.

  • multiple instances of internet explore in my task manager

    Why are there multiple instances of internet explore in my task manager when I open only one page?

    Hello

    IE uses smaller instances of itself to support tabs and correction of errors and it is normal for IE8. In fact
    It uses far fewer resources as well as the opening of 2 or more instances to access several pages. If you
    Open several tabs, and then still more small instances of Internet Explorer will be opened to support these tabs and error correction.

    So basically, everything is normal.

  • Cannot run msconfig.exe

    I have problems to run exe files.  An application not found error appears. When I tried to launch msconfig.exe to perform a clean boot is a mistake came saying application not found.  This problem occurs in normal mode and safe.

    Hello

    Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

    The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

    1.
    CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

    Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

    If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

    C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
    necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
    is installed.

    Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
    Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
    other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
    a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software. Use the ".com"
    prevents the extension as this malware. EXE to run.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    2.
    Another method is to use them:

    Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

    Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

    Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

    You may need to do a file at a time.

I realized that I didn't have the recovery disc, then I decided to load XP Professional I had on it. The law on the computer is as it has been installed correctly and then I get a message saying explorer.exe could not be loaded properly or the drive perhaps is corupted and the same message to another .dll file. Once completed, I can reboot and use the computer, but then the windows installer will not work and the drivers are still present on the hard drive. Now, I loaded the new operating system before and I know that pilots are not supposed to be always present on the system. I then put a new hardrive has had the same problem. So, I then took the hardrive and placed in another computer that was be a dell and load xp fine without error. Can someone point me in the right direction. I contacted gateway to another Media Center recoverydisk, but they said because the computer was no longer under warranty, that they did not have the specified disc and to contact Microsoft.
