• Explorer.exe error, Normaliz.dll is missing

  When I try to start my computer, I get the above error. I get the same when starting in safe mode. The only thing that works is the Task Manager. No desktop icon just a white screen. Where should I start

  In Task Manager, you can click file, hold down the CTRL key, and click New task and that opens a command prompt (or the boot safe mode with command prompt).

  If you have your copy of normaliz.dll on a USB key which is the D drive (for example), and XP is installed on your C drive, you can then type in something like this:

  Copy d:\normaliz.dll c:\windows\system32

  When the copying is completed successfully, you will see a message like:

  1 file (s) copied

  You can always do since if Task Manager:

  If you see a message like this:

  Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  It is in the case Log:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Application Popup
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 26
  Description:

  Application popup: Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  Start explorer.exe, but the normaliz.dll file.  If explorer.exe is not able to run, you will not be able to do much with your system until the replacement of normaliz.dll.

  You can click OK for errors and finished up in the Task Manager where you can try to fix it.  The message can keep popping up from time to time, while you're fixing it, so just click OK to close the message.

  If normaliz.dll is missing, you can copy it from a working system to the system afflicted with the same version of XP and Internet Explorer.

  You will get a good copy and put it on a floppy disk, thumb drive etc and copy it to your system plagued by using Manager tasks.

  The normaliz.dll file must be located in the c:\windows\system32 folder and therefore is not a Windows file protected, making the Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts' suggest running sfc/scannow, which is just another one of their prosecution of wild goose that will not work, he'll never work and it will only waste your time (and they don't tell you how to run either - if explorer.exe does not start).

  Then engaged Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts' will offer to you develop a copy of the file from the XP installation CD you probably haven't, but it is also not on your XP installation CD, and you will have the same problem try their suggestions to 'try' to start in any any Mode without failure, so this will not help you.  These "experts" seem to think that the Safe Mode boot or boot will replace magically missing files, but it doesn't.

  You also will be able to properly run a browser on the system afflicted to go on Internet download one.

  There is a large computer security risk in the normaliz.dll from some website download.  The best idea is to get a copy of normaliz.dll from another computer that has the same version of XP and IE and replace it from a USB device (which you can access from the Manager tasks), or using a system that works, you can download one of my SkyDrive.

  You can still use the Task Manager to run the system restore and bring it back, but I've never tried and never use SR in all cases.

  If you have recently done a bunch of Microsoft updates, you may have also gotten IE8 so maybe that something was wrong here although the normaliz.dll is the same for each version.

  When you see the error, you can click beyond it and eventually arrived at your screen background image where you can press CTRL-ALT-DEL to start Task Manager. TM, you can click file, new task, Browse and edit the menu drop-down "Files of type" to all files that you can see all the files in folders.

  Go to c:\windows\system32 to see if normaliz.dll is really missing. If the error appears again while browsing, just click OK to get past it.  The explorer.exe tries to run and cannot until the missing file is replaced.

  If it's the only thing missing, you can get one from a working system of the same type as yours, copy on a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and always using TM, to browse, copy and paste it where it should be or you can download one of my SkyDrive.

  TM, you can still access your thumb or any other medium the same disk by navigating, copy, paste, etc very well all work.  You use TM to navigate to your thumb or floppy disk, copy the normaliz.dll good and then paste it in the c:\windows\system32 folder, where it is supposed to be.

  If things get worse, just return to TM and remove the file back where you were in first place and continue troubleshooting.

  Using a system that works, you can also download a copy of the file from my SkyDrive and put it on a floppy or USB thumbdrive and networks diskettes for the distressed system.  Sandalenet means wear you the system afflicted by hand.

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\System32

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called normaliz when the name of the file should really be called normaliz.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

• Explorer.exe error on shutdown

  I have a new HP Pavilion with Windows 8 64 bit laptop. I just downloaded the free update to windows 8.1. And then the trouble started.
  First, startup time has almost doubled. Just before the desktop becomes visible, there is a period of 10 seconds where everything you see is a black screen. Sometimes, it is more than 10 seconds. Then we see the wallpaper.
  Second, the most annoying problem - whenever I have shut down or restart, I get an error in explorer.exe saying memory cannot be read in memory of some instruction referenced to 0x00000000. ?! What the h - what? I mean that's what we expect to see that after the update to Windows 8.1? This is ridiculous. This affects many people everywhere in the world and there is not yet any official patch or the announcement?

  I have read similar messages on the web and none of the solutions work. Someone said: change the registry, someone said to remove the bluetooth start service? nothing and stop a bluetooth service is not a solution. Why wouldn't I be able to use bluetooth to solve this error Windows 8.1?

  Please correct this urgent problem. And DO NOT ask us to re - install windows... I mean come on... You think that people have nothing better to do than Windows install/reinstall all day long? Bandwidth is not cheap anywhere in the world either. Please release a patch or guidance on the resolution of this problem as soon as POSSIBLE.

• Explorer.exe memoy

  Hi, my computer performance slowly deteriorated and now my Explorer.exe takes 63 000 K of my memory. However, it uses none of the CPU at all, and the maximum it consumes the cycle was 4. It's really slow down the process of starting my computer, and as it took up to 95 000 K of memory and 30 CPU at startup. I have 1 GB of RAM and 2.80 GHz processor. It takes 4 minutes to start my computer, too.

• Explorer.exe CPU clocked at 44 to 50% constantly. Stops when a program is uninstalled, then start again.

  Hello

  Recently, the explorer.exe was running my CPU to the 44-50% on a consistent basis latley.  This causes some reduced performance - slowness and another assoceated of issues such as the computer running hot, shortened of the battery etc.

  Internet research and research on the forums of MSFT these days seem to indicate that it is a fairly common problem with no definitive answer.

  However according to the responses I've read I have...

  Has participated in a comprehensive analysis of the machine looking for viruses, malware and the Trogans, using my 360 update of Norton, Spybot and Live One Care Saftey Scanner of MSFT focusing on research to the C:\ Virus of the system and system32 folders in Solution Explorer.

  Uninstalled all programs recent and plug-in is installed from around when I first noticed the problem.

  Uninstalled components unnessearry a recently installed HP printer/scanner.

  Momentarily disabled same device printer/scanner via the Device Manager.

  Empty the trash and authorized the Bureau of unnessesarry documents.

  Order of programs unnessesarry (icons) to load in the notification area of the taskbar.

  Deleted the hidden from IE, erasure of history.

  I am aware that the explorer.exe is related on the desktop and the taskbar, but no changes have been made as described above.

  The only thing that I think signifigant and odd, is that the uninstall of a program or a component or plug stops the .exe to run the CPU so hard after a reboot.  However after a shut down and then restart as you execute either during the night comes.

  I tried to use the paid MSFT support chat service but this has been experiancing "tecnicial questions" during the last days and therefore unavalable - then when she came back the line was only avialable in 8 hours, and then only by phone.

  Any advice would be apprecated.

• ronvix. R and explorer.exe

  My laptop Lenovo G550 Win 7 has been contaminated by the horse of Trojan Win32\Ronvix.R (I think).  What he does is commissioning multiple copies of explorer.exe running huge amounts of cycles CPU, input/output, and paging.  Whenever I kill the process a new appears.  I'm unable to launch applications by clicking a desktop icon or by using the 'Open' in the menu drop down right-click.  No more that I can use 'Run' on the Startmenu.

  Hi MAMARDA,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I would like to ask you a few questions in order to get a better understanding of this issue so that we can better help you.

  (a) what version of Windows 7 use you?

  (b) what is the exact error message you are getting?

  Method 1: You can also try to perform a file system (scan SFC) verification tool. This tool will fix the system files are corrupted.

  Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

  5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  Method 2: If this is a recent problem that has developed you can try to perform a system restore and check if it works very well.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next

  4. click on finish

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212/

  Method 3: you can try to start safe mode and restore the system, if you are unable to do it in normal mode.

  For a safe boot, you can follow the below given steps:

  1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  2. do one of the following:

• Infect winlogon.exe, explorer.exe virus and virus Hosts-DNS

  Hi guys,.

  A laptop computer, that I'm not using has recently been infected with a virus from winlogon.exe and explorer.exe and one DNS host virus.
  I tried to use avast: edition free, malwarebytes and spybot search and destroy.
  And as a last resort, I used Norton Power Eraser...

  The problem is not cleaner Antivirus or antispyware can eliminate this type of virus.
  And not boot into safe mode and try to remove it from there do not remove viruses at all.
  I took this laptop a laptop technician where he took out the hard drive and scanned for viruses, but when I came back the virus or on it.

  What can I do to remove these viruses, since it has severely reduced performance on my pc and the virus's keep redirect my Web pages, I will be using internet explore?
  I think that the virus has embedded themselves inside the windows operating system.

  Thank you
  Brent

  Hi mate

  Usually the explorer.exe, winlogon.exe are running Microsoft files and these files belongs to the Windows operating system and must be placed in the folder C:\Windows\System32.
  If it a case then these are not viruses.

  However, you can try the Antivirus application free Avira Antivirus software.
  Google for it you can download it for free.
  Scan the system and check again.

  As a last option, I recommend reinstalling the system using the Toshiba recovery disc!
  That would erase everything from the HARD drive.
