Crash Windows Explorer in Vista

• Windows mail glich crashes windows Explorer

  My mom has a HP Pavilion dv9000 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with Service Pack 2. She has a problem with the Windows Mail break when she changes the contacts in his address book. Each time she "right click", and at that moment, to edit or delete a contact, Windows Explorer restarts.
  Thank you for your help. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information.

  Consider using the Autoruns or ShellExView to manage Shell Extensions that Explorer is configured to use.  One of them is perhaps responsible.

  You can also try to capture a crash dump of explorer.exe and download it somewhere (for example SkyDrive), it can be downloaded by anyone and analyzed.  To do... Create the hierarchy of the following registry keys in the registry:
  [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe\]
  In the explorer.exe key, create a REG_EXPAND_SZ value named DumpFolder and set the value to %systemdrive%\explorerdumps data.  Ensure that the %systemdrive%\explorerdumps file exists, and then cause the crash to happen.  There should be a dump file in % systemdrive%\explorerdumps.  (Letter is an environment variable which, in most cases, results in "C:".  So check C:\explorerdumps for the dump file, after the crash.)

  Hi MothFeatures,

  I suggest you do one in place update (repair, installation of Windows)

  Note: Before a repair install, I suggest you back up data.

  a. disconnect all external devices connected to the computer.

  b. configure the computer to clean boot.

  To configure the computer clean boot, follow the steps in the below link:

  How to perform a clean boot

  After checking in the clean boot, follow step: 7 article to reset the computer in normal mode.

  How to perform an upgrade on the spot on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

• Qosmio G50/04J (Q55) WD eSATA external HARD drive crashed windows Explorer

  Hi all, this is a crazy...

  I've been using a WD MyBook drive for a year with USB, no problem, except the message of 'the write failure delay' occasional (big problem with WD drives)

  I bought an eSATA cable as the reader has an eSATA back port.
  The first time I used the command via eSATA was pretty sweet. Reading/wirte speeds.
  After 2 days, I noticed the the remaining on (unusual behavior) drive activity light.

  Now, whenever I turn on the drive when its plugged into the port, eSATA, windows Explorer crashes.
  I can make it appear 'task manager' sometimes, but cannot successfully "end task" or close.
  Windows + R will show the Run dialog box, even if I can't restart explore this way.

  Can anyone help? I contacted WD and they said this is the first they have heard of this problem...

  Cheers in advance

  Thank you for this interesting feedback, companion! :)

• Search tool crashes Windows Explorer when I stop the search

  My XP search tool (the one with the little dog) goes on and during the search, and if I found what I need I stop searching and getting back to work.  I could do in W2K, but in XP - SP3 when I stop the search, Windows Explorer crashes.  So, I have to restart my XP.  Y at - it a fix for this, or do I have to use another search tool?

  My XP search tool (the one with the little dog) goes on and during the search, and if I found what I need I stop searching and getting back to work.  I could do in W2K, but in XP - SP3 when I stop the search, Windows Explorer crashes.  So, I have to restart my XP.  Y at - it a fix for this, or do I have to use another search tool?

  I have this problem on my own XP machines and have seen several times on client computers. I think it's one that Microsoft will have to work, because I can not find a solution.  It seems to be the installation of third party software that does this, because a stock installation of XP with all updates to this day doesn't seem to have this problem.

  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RESTART WINDOWS TO RECOVER FROM THIS.

  If Explorer crashes and your icons and the taskbar disappear, the solution is simply to wait for Explorer itself to begin again, or issue a ctrl-alt-delete, start Task Manager, click on file-> new task (run)-> and then enter "Explorer" (without the quotes) and click 'OK '. The icons and the taskbar will be back and XP will then operate normally.

  If some of the icons in the system tray are missing after Explorer restarts, you can quickly sign out and then sign back in to fix this problem, after you saved all work and close programs. The programs represented by missing icons are, in this case, which is still running, so it's only a cosmetic problem.

  Until Microsoft or someone else found a real solution, you may need to reinstall XP to resolve this problem. Not knowing the real cause, this problem could happen again. Not all facilities have this problem, or is it all the time.

• Problems related to Windows Explorer in Vista

  Since I had to do a clean install, I had problems in Windows Explorer.  Whenever I try to click with the right button on the display window elements, especially if I'm trying to delete or move, Explorer stops and restarts, making me try to redo what I was doing.  She also does it sometimes when I select the menu bar.

  I ran sfc/scannow from the command prompt, and he comes back and tells me that some files were corrupted and not repaired.  I tried to look in the newspaper for the problems, but I get a window "access denied."  I run as administrator when I do that.  I used my windows disk and tried the repair function on the files of it.  That did not fix it.

  The only message I could see is this message from the link to report problems in the Panel:

  Any ideas on how to fix?  It becomes very irritating and makes getting whatever it is in fact a problem.

  I might suggest to capture an image of user mode of the accident which has the potential to identify the cause.

  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 (save with the .reg extension and give it a name like explorerdump.reg) 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 a public folder on OneDrive or similar site.

  Here are a few links on the use of OneDrive (SkyDrive):

  It works for the other connections on this machine.  So, with the worries of shrinking to s/o the origin of the problem,

  I saved my files and re-created a new account.  The new account works fine, so I deleted the old account.

  I really don't know why this has happened given I have not installed the brand new s/w recently.

• 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.

• Why crash Windows Explorer on right click in the left pane?

  In Windows Explorer, the time that I did a right click on any folder in Windows Explorer hangs: "Windows Explorer has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

  I have run the System File Checker.  Nothing.

  I used MSCONFIG to disable everything except Windows components.  It still occurs.

  Any thoughts?  I work around by using the file menu or work in the right pane, but it's maddening.  Had no such problems with XP.

  Thank you.

  Sorry for taking so long to answer.  It took me a while to be able to clear a day working on this - it took 2 in all.

  In reference to your list included... decipher the CBS proved impossible as my input does not seem to match the referenced site, but it says he's fixing something.

  On the section 2... slow right click article had the same symptoms that I had.

  Article "manage... context menu entries. "gave me an error and would not display.

  ShellExView is wonderful!  I started to disable anything other than Microsoft and it fixed the problem.  Now, I just find that it is the culprit.

  Also downloaded FileMenuTools (http://www.lopesoft.com/en/) and it is ideal to remove the entries (found in your How To edit link...) without digging in the registry.

  I wanted in any case, thanks for the help.  At least, it works again!

  Every accident is caused by such .tmp files. This isn't normal behavior. I see that you have this file on your PC:

  what I found in the WWW, it is a virus/trojan.

  So install an AntiVirus (such as Microsoft Security Essentials) tool and do a scan in depth.

  Also run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php) to search for malware.

Yet, I was able to use iTunes, Firefox, etc. As soon as I opened Windows Explorer and tried to navigate to a specific folder on any of my drives (internal as well as external), however, it would crash Windows Explorer and push me to close the program or find an etc online solution.

I left my PC overnight and just rebooted for the first time, and I'm having the same problem: programs seem to work (I'm writing this in Firefox), but as soon as I want to look at any particular folder on my system, Explorer crashes.

  It's just the same thing when I tried to install a current Windows Update, when I tried to install a registry cleaner, and even when I tried to empty my trash!

  Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

  EDIT: after further analysis that I discovered that Vista logon failure mode seems to get rid of this problem. Is it possible to refine the potential causes of this problem?

  Best,

  Luis

  That the file was present, and that AV scanners 12/42 to the VT file detected file as malicious or suspicious, suggests your system has active malware on this subject.

  The best thing to do is to get rid of the malware first and then go ahead and restore items disabled with Autoruns.  No need to uninstall Nero, and I would hang on to the renamed.drv in a way, since it is the one piece of evidence suggesting malware. Basically, you can leave it as it is, don't forget not that it is there and then go through some hair removal techniques.  The AV software should find the file renamed.drv and delete / quarantine it.

  Give the free version of MBAM a race and see what it captures...  There are a few tips on how to use MBAM in this thread.

• Display folder size in Windows Explorer

  I try to get the size of the folder to display in the details pane in Windows Explorer (on Vista).  When I had Windows XP (Professional edition), it would appear that there, but not with Vista.  Under XP I could just click on a folder and the size of the folder would be in the details pane, but Vista does not do that.  (The only downside was that the size of subfolders was not included here, that the size of individual files in this folder; but just expand the folder in the navigation and then clicking on each subfolder, I might understand this.)  I'll be leaving my office soon and want to have an idea of the size of the files I want to carry around with me (and how many CD, I might have need - can use keys USB memory on the system of Government) when I go.  I looked through Windows help, but I can't find the answer to this question.  Anyone?

  Right-click on the folder and click Properties and it will show you the number of files, the number of cases, the sizes of these each and other details.  You can also hover your mouse on the file and it will show the tooltips which include the EIS (but not so much information as properties).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
