• Why my computer crashes upward at startup after installing a new external hard drive Western Digital

  I am running windows XP with service pack 2. When I unplug the external drive the computer starts very well.

  Hello

  It should tell you at the bottom of the boot screen saying press xx for Setup/BIOS.

• My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files

  I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.

  My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.

  My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.

  I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.

  There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!

  Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!

  I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
  Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
  I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
  You just continue to make attempts, using a tutorial after another.
  As long as you have these unchanged copies of backup of your DBX files, you should survive it - other than frustration. Email PC remains a mess.

• Windows Explorer crashes repeatedly on startup and cannot choose a restore point?

  Equipped with Vista 64-bit... Had a problem for a while opening now and then records that have videos in them.  I could open other programs (email, etc.), but not the files with the Solution Explorer or Explorer would crash.  Not a big deal and I did have the time to fix it (no online seemed to know anyway).

  Trying to send two videos to two friends via Skype, somehow shortcuts placed got video on my desktop and Explorer crashed.  Whenever he finishes crashing and returns, it crashes again so I can't even get rid of them by removing their or whatever it is.  It crashes so quickly, that you can not even click on one.

  I tried to reboot (har har) and even in safe mode, what happens.  I tried to go to a system restore, but it tells me that the System Restore Wizard is already running when it is obviously not.  I don't really know what I can do at this point, that the only thing that stops it is the cancellation of the application of Solution Explorer, but then I can't access anything that anyone else.  If only I could get the icons on my desktop, I could solve the problem with the videos, but I can't even get to them to get rid of them.

  Please help, I really need to use this PC this week and I tried almost everything I can think of at my disposal.

  The 'failing module' is the kernel32.dll file, which is a Windows file.

  However, the problem can actually be someone else, possibly from third parties, of the file.

  It may be useful to try to capture a dump of user of the explorer.exe crash mode.

  You can configure Windows to create dumps of user mode. First, create a System Restore Point.

  If you copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save it as a .reg file, then right click on the .reg file and select "Merge" to add to the registry, when the .dmp file explorer.exe plant should be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe]
  "DumpFolder" = hex (2): 43, 00, 3A, 00, 5 c 00, 43, 00, 72, 00, 61, 00, 73, 00, 68, 00, 44, 00, 75,.
  00, 6 D, 00, 70, 00, 73, 00, 00, 00

  
  After Explorer (explorer.exe) crashes, you can, and then make the .dmp file available (provide the link) via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site?

  You will probably need ot to obtain from the manufacturer of the computer for the installation diskettes (which would be less expensive to get a new XP license) and the repair of the operating system or do a new install. Keep in mind that this could have been caused by your failure to drive hard and not because of software corruption.

• Media Center crashes during video playback of need to hard reboot.

  Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for several days of attempted troubleshooting, Googling, try many things to fix it... first of all let me apologize in advance for the length of my post but I wanted to give as much information as possible to help anyone trying to rule out things...!

  OK, so the problem...

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit as a clean install on my HTPC, after the first do a complete 1 & 0 format of the hard drive that had previously installed Vista Home Premium, installation went well and I proceeded to install all updates to Windows, and then update drivers for all my hardware.

  The system is used only as a HTPC, it's my only TV and video playback device, (so reliability is essential for me) and it is connected to a defintion of Sony, 44 "Widescreen Rear Projection TV Standard, via S-video, with audio goes to a system DD/DTS 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker Logitech z5500, via a sound card by using the optical cable (specifications of the complete system below).  The system worked flawlessly more of one year using Vista SP1 32 - bit, until I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on the hardware configuration identical.

  Since installing Windows 7, it worked fine for the first week, not a single problem, I am housebound are disabled so that the system is in continuous service 24/7 and he had no problems in the first 10 days, however all of a sudden I'm getting now random freezes requiring a hard reset , but it occurs during video playback of any of my 3 hard disks, or when you try to play a DVD in Media Center. Which led me to think it is associated video (problem of driver or hardware fault) card, disc or HARD associated.

  Frost can occur sometimes, after a few minutes of reading, or sometimes after a few hours, requiring a restart of the hard to get the sytem to answer.

  Reading of the TV via the TV Tuner card is not affected, its only when playing of stored content (MPEG2, h264 .mkv .avi files or DVD) are all media SD HD and all played fine for the first few days.

  Intermittent freezes occurring could block the system completely freeze the image and audio and all activities, nothing would work at all, I tried windwos keyboard, ctrl alt del, nothing at all, to do a reboot hard to recover the system, it can then be either minutes or sometimes an hour before the same thing happens again. I tried to use different video files in the case of the corruption of files, different DVD to exclude damaged disks, same result.

  System includes:

  1. Map - mother ASUS M3A32 - MVP Dlx, Socket AM2 +, 790FX/SB600 chipset, BIOS v.2003

  All of the above software has been installed by using the latest available versions downloaded from the manufactuer sites, which claim to support Windows 7 and all have been updated regularly since its installation.

  I have tried many of the suggestions I've seen posted to try to solve this problem, including:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Media Center and WMP
  2. Disabling subtitles in Media Center
  3. Disable unused mobo onboard devices in the BIOS
  4. Update BIOS
  5. Updated all drivers
  6. Disabling Control Panel Nvidia PhysX
  7. Disabling the Enhanced Sound features for reading devices
  8. Run CCRegistry cleaner
  9. Run many Virus scans nomral mode and safe - no problems found
  10. Don't run the Checkdisk on all HARD drives - no problems found
  11. Run the SeaTools Diagnostic tools for HARD drives - all disks HARD discover OK
  12. Tried playing files AVI of HDD separated to avoid a HARD drive problem - same problem occurs on all readers
  13. I tried change graphics card for an ATI HD4850 with the latest ATI drivers - same problem.
  14. Tried to change the audio output S/PDIF instead of Xonar Soundcard onboard - same problem occurs
  15. Tried the Windows 7 repair facility - problem persists.
  16. Tried to uninstall all updates of Windows -same problem
  17. I tried the system restore to before the occurrence of the problem started - no help
  18. tried to re-downlaoding all hardware drivers updated and re - install in the case of a corrupt driver download - no chance even problem

  Essentially none of the abvoe helped to solve this problem, and it becomes really frustrating to have to restart the PC again and again trying to watch a recorded video file or DVD.

  After remove all the above I can only assume that it is a problem with Windows 7, needing a fix of the millisecond.  At least I think that I've exhausted everything I can try... ???

  With what is my HTPC, if I can't perform reliably, I have to reinstall Vista, Vista was not the best OS, but at least it was reliable for me in terms of my HTPC.

  I was really eager to get Windows 7, I used the RTM version on my netbook for some time before I made the decision to purchase the full retail version for my HTPC, and never had any of these problems with my installation of netbook that I used for playback of media files from an external USB HDD.  So I'm really disappointed to have these problems after doing all that I could to make sure that Windows 7 would work OK.

  If anyone can give me any suggestions of what I can try, anythign I can too watching, or if someone has hada similar problem and found a solution for him... Please, please, post more details, because I am really at my wits end now and have to resort to watch the recordings on a 10.2 "screen of my netbook with some speakers of the small laptop usb, after spending so much money on my system and surround sound Setup HTPC, its devastating to think that I'll have to go back to Vista...

  Absoultely ANY suggestions would be appreciated...

  Thanks in advance for any help and once again, I'm sorry for the length of the post, if there is more information needed I've not provided above, please let me know and I will try to publish as soon as POSSIBLE...

  After the forum of scouring and reding of countless discussions, it seems, there is some sort of problem with Media Network Sharing tha could be the cause of this problem, as many people have reported that disabling wmpnetwk.exe in the Services.msc solves the problem.

  It's not an ideal solution for me, as I have a HTPC in the room that I play media from the main HTPC downstairs and all the hype MS seemed to suggest that Win 7 is it is much easier to achieve, and has been one of the main points of sale used in one of their commercials for the operating system.

  This my MS you need to pay attention to this problem and work towards a solution and allow users to know when the solution has been provided, probably have a service that must be disabled to let the operating system work reliably is quite counterproductive.

  Nobody seems to answer my post above with other suggestions and wmpnetwork.exe disable workaround was published last November, all the while still there is no permanent solution...?

  EDIT: Just to confirm this wmnetwork.exe Netwrok disabling media sharing in the services, as well as disabling the media streaming in the Netwrok Sharing Center > advanced sharing Options, solved the constant crashes for me.

  So all the MS speak of 3rd party drivers for the cards video and other material or material defects are to blame, it's total BS, the only problem is to do with Windows and Windows Media Sharing, lets hope, they decide to do something to fight it... !!

• Computer crashes to 2 or 3 minutes after startup, sometimes said "not genuine Windows".

  Hello!
  I have a Toshiba Satellite L750D. Windows 7.
  Everything works fine when there is 3 months, I bought the laptop.
  A few days ago, it started to happen:
  The computer starts correctly, Windows starts up, watch the user login screen. Everything works well so far.
  This desktop computer, runs Windows as usual. Two or three minutes later, it becomes terribly slow. So slow that just try to open Explorer takes like 5 minutes... Then the situation becomes unbearable, it's as if the computer crashes.
  Then I have to stop it manually (by pressing button On / Off for 5secs).
  In another time, share this problem, it appears at the bottom right of your desktop that the copy of Windows is not genuine.
  I know that it is authentic, I bought the laptop and I have activated Windows correctly. But hey, this is a minor issue and only happens 1/3 of the time I try to start the computer. The main problem is that Pseudo-gel of infinite of Windows.
  Start in Safe Mode does not change the problem at all. It starts well and like 3 minutes later, becomes terribly slow.
  I can solve the problem somehow (running antivirus, etc.) because I can't throw soft...
  Appreciate your comments on this issue,
  Best regards

  Thank you for the comments, but since the computer is a Toshiba, it has a default System Configuration that allows me to restore the laptop in fabric, without having to start windows.

  Hello. Every time I open Windows 7, Windows Aero off suddenly and my computer crashes very easily, easily which means that shortly after I click on a few things or type stuff in, and when one thing goes down, everything else done including the taskbar.

Then I tried to uninstall something weird anime that I've never seen before, and then he said "You have already uninstalled this program.", and then he disappeared. When I refreshed, all programs have disappeared! To avoid this, I reinstalled Windows 7, and then he started crashing non-stop. Please help me.

  Use the other methods here and startup repair to see if you can access more and then
  Use the methods in my my 1st answer above and don't forget to launch SFC and CheckDisk. Also you
  can try a repair Installation.

  You can try some of them in Mode safe - tap F8 repeatedly that you start.

  If you do not have a Windows 7 disc, you can borrow a friends because they are not a copy

  ===========================================

  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.
