• Cannot run Windows Explorer using the interactive services detection

  Hello

  I have the tool using the interactive services detection to display applications. I have to refrain from using the Terminal Server services for the moment and the DSI is the only option I have. Now the problem is, this tool must run Windows explore periodically as well as other applications Viz Notepad, wordpad. It shows notepad and wordpad but always fails to open windows Explorer. Any ideas on that?
  PS: everything what I described above works great with the Terminal Services
  Thank you

• Error: The installer cannot set Windows XP required configuration information during the upgrade to Windows XP Home SP3 of Windows XP Pro.

  Original title: OEM Windows XP Home SP3 update XP Pro

  Here is a compilation of the messages from another forum regarding
  My problem:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm trying to upgrade a Windows XP Home Sp3 OEM system to
  Windows XP Pro. (There are a few Pro features
  that are not available in the House I now need: (1) the files offline and
  (2) an add-on available for free to Onenote 2007, Top2onenote, requires a Pro).
  I don't want a clean install, but an upgrade. I bought a Windows XP Pro
  Upgrade CD on Ebay that was Windows XP Pro
  Gold (v2002). I'm sure that's true for the following reasons:

  It has been listed as an upgrade, but the CD is not labeled "Upgrade".
  It seems very authentic with all Microsoft holography.
  He came in the standard package of Windows XP (without box),
  and it was sealed.
  The name of volume for the CD is WXPFPP_EN. The Internet,.
  It is the retail of Windows XP Pro RTM (gold)!

  Here are things I tried initially.

  (1) I tried to upgrade to Pro from the purchased CD. It is immediately
  has refused to upgrade indicating the upgrade OS (Pro) is older than the
  installed OS (home)...

  (2) I read about "slipstreaming". "Slipstreaming" allows to integrate
  a service pack with an earlier version of the operating system. I created a
  upgrade XP Pro SP3 with Nlite slipstreamed CD image (and
  Autostreamer later, but it made no difference) from the purchased CD
  and a file containing SP3.

  After you burn the CD and start the upgrade
  (Windows installation), the upgrade process
  product through "information collection."
  "Dynamic update" and "Preparation of Installation" with
  no problems. My computer restarted and returned to
  "Installation preparation". A progress bar called 'Progress '.
  quickly filled to about 90% and the hanging system
  at that time there for about 15 minutes.
  Then, I got the following error message:

  Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration
  information. This indicates an internal Setup error.

  This is where I am stuck. I had to leave the installation at this point.
  My drive is starts raining and I had to restore a backup.

  (3) just for the heck of it, I formatted my hard drive and
  reinstalled my original OEM XP Home SP3 OS (no clean up, no user file).
  I immediately used my XP CD slipstreamed Pro to try one
  upgrade to XP Pro and IT WORKED! I need to find out why the
  properly clean XP Home OS upgraded to XP Pro but my pre-existing
  (with the files users, drivers, etc..) XP Home OS does not level
  successfully to XP Pro.
  -------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  Yet once, today, I installed a new copy of OEM Windows XP Home Sp3.
  I continue with installation of all the essential and the add-on
  pilots (essentially all my original version). Then, I
  set up a network connection and firewall. With this configuration,.
  I ran the Pro XP slipstreamed SP3 CD. The upgrade to XP Pro
  success (even if the upgrade not configured my graphics
  card properly). I guess my current problem is either the registry,
  the WINDOWS, some user file or parameter file.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  I made a file and the backup of the folder C:\Windows folder
  on my system that is pre-existing (OEM XP Home Sp3). I also did a
  separate the backup the State of the 'system' on my pre-existing system.
  These are added my full image backup of her pre-existing
  system a month ago.

  I did a backup image of my system (minimum fees OEM XP Home
  SP3 with all the original installed drivers over a network configured
  connection and a firewall configured). This system will upgrade
  XP Pro with XP Pro SP3 slipstreamed CD successfully.

  Experiment 1:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the C:/Windows folder
  and the State of the pre-existing system backup system. A startup
  has managed (with a minor irritant). I had to activate Windows.
  Then, I tried upgrading the slipstreamed XP Pro processor. He stopped
  at the same place during the upgrade and gave the same error as before:

  Setup cannot set the required configuration information Windows XP.
  This indicates an internal Setup error.

  Experiment 2:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the system state only
  the backup of the pre-existing system. After startup I was asked to
  activate Windows, but answer Yes to the question would be to disconnect me
  the system. I couldn't get connected to try the XP Pro upgrade.

  Experience 3:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored only the C:/Windows
  the backup of the pre-existing system folder. Once again, as in experiment 1,
  the upgrade failed at the same place with the same error message.

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

  Before the experiment 3, I hoped that 3 experience would succeed so I
  could conclude that I had a registry problem. I'm not sure now.
  I don't know what to try next. Take the minimum system and reinstalling
  my files of the user is not an option that my hard drive has over 200 GB of
  programs! If I restore all files and folders of my pre-existing
  I would still have backup to restore a system state the reliable (read the registry).
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  Sorry for the length! If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate your responses.

  Thank you

• artifacts when you drag windows/windows Explorer by using too much cpu capacity

  Dragging a window (not just browser windows) leaves a trail of white on the screen.  Closing any window is slow; Obviously the window collapses down before disappearing.  Manager Windows taskbar shows explorer.exe using amany as capacity 50% of CPU when this happens.  This always happens.  It started when I installed IE8.

  What is happening on three different machines.  They're all running XP, one is a laptop computer to dual boot with Windows 7 as the other BONES; the problem is not there when it is started on Windows7, but are there in XP.  All machines run at 3 Mhz or faster, bicoeur have all 4 GB of ram or more; the smaller hard drive is 640 GB.  We have integrated graphics card Intel; We have a discreet ATI video card; We have a discreet NVidia video card.  They are all updated on the drivers.  All the MS applicable updates are installed.

  The problem disappears if I uninstall IE8; reappears when I reinstall.

  Thank you

  Wrily2

  Hello

  I have the latest drivers installed on all three machines.  I still have the problem.

  I went to visit a friend, installed IE8 on XP Pro machine and had the same problem.

  I visited another friend, verified that they already have IE8 on their two XP machines. No machine to had the problem!

  It took me two more days to spot the difference.  Machines to display the icons of countertop is not a problem, but if you uncheck the display icons on the desktop and have desktop background image (especially an image high resolution) in the stretch mode the problem surfaces.

  I found a solution to the problem.  I resized the image I used to match the resolution of the screen (three monitors, three sizes).  It seems to work even by hiding my icons and let the computer decide how best to run.

  I would like to hear if anyone can check out what I found.  I have explained the apparent conflict.

  Thank you

• Windows cannot access Windows Explorer

  My computer recently had trouble with one of the user accounts, which gives a ' the user profile Service has no logon. Could not load user profile ' error. Not wanting to play with the registry, I followed method 2 in the following Help article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215. He worked mainly, with the only problem so far is that the computer does not find the Windows Explorer (the file manager section). The shell works fine (oddly). Basically says error that it cannot find the program.

  How would I go about fixing this particular error?

  Hi Kiran,

  Glad to know you solved the problem. Thanks for sharing of the resolution, because it would help the other members of the community to the same question.

• Windows explore disk use 100% reading file lrdata

  When I start my computer (windows 8.1) windows Explorer seems to read thousands of files like:

  (I'm looking at the resource manager, the process with the disk, explorer.exe only activity)

  It defines the use of the drive to 100% and spans more than 30 minutes.

  Meanwhile, I'm not even in lightroom!

  Does anyone know how to stop this?

• 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.

  Looking at the dump with WinDbg (Windows Debugger) file the module that seems to be the cause of the accident is the atiumd64.dll which is a component of the AMD graphics driver:
