Explorer.exe is not running after logon
XP Home SP3, Microsoft updates current running. Also running avast! 6 free 3.54 Sandboxie, Windows Defender, COMODO Firewall (free) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free, SUPERAntispyware Free Edition, PC Tools ThreatFire. Firefox 4.0.1 and also installed IE8.
Only three of these programs are running real time: avast!, COMODO, ThreatFire and Sandboxie when running a browser.
Updated definition files scanning shows the system to be clean. System runs very quickly and smoothly.
Problem: Explorer.exe will not start after login. Desktop is missing, taskbar, tray system, clock, start button and desktop icons and system stalls. Check the Task Manager shows explorer.exe has not been loaded. The first couple of times this happened it, CTRL + ALT + DELETE is the Task Manager, and I chose restart from, even when you are connected, and then explorer.exe should boot and load.
I have not checked yet to see, if and when this condition occurs again, if explorer.exe is going to load by clicking New Task Manager tasks.
Safe mode and running last last known good configuration worked the last time.
What should I look for in the registry?
mchain
Please let us know.

My laptop HP Probook 4530 s boots until the Welcome screen, it does not continue to show the desktop instead, it shows only a black screen.
As I entered in the Task Manager, I tried to check the process and discovered that "explorer.exe" is not running. I created a new task, browse the explorer.exe and run. It shows the office, but after 10 seconds or less, it restarts and goes back to the black screen after the Welcome screen.

Hi Mark,
Check if the Userinit registry value is correct. To read, use the command:
Press Windows key + R, and type:
cmd /k reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "Userinit".
Copy what is displayed in the output and after here.
Similarly for the value "Shell:"
cmd /k reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "Shell."

Startup EXE does not run in the controller for cRIO-9002
Hi all
I have a compactRIO with controller NI 9002. The controller has the software suite.
1 2011 Labview real-time
2 NOR-RIO 4.0
I made simple user LED flashing application target RT using Labview 2011 and build EXE. But EXE will not run after a successful deployment. I tried the cRIO controller using the rest of the basis of knowledge OR troubleshooting.
http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/52E943F7D6E7C0578625720A001DDF6E
Kindly help me to solve this problem.
You must disable the optimization to SSE2 option in your build properties that you run on a cRIO 9002, which is an older model that does not support this feature:

Explorer.exe does not work correctly.
Hello everyone.
My name is George Sebros and I have a Toshiba Satellite A300.
The reason why I post this new topic, it is that I need a little help from someone who knows something about my above problem:
One day, about 2 months ago... I turn on my Satellite A300.
When he connected, not only none of my icons appeared but also the start menu does not...
The only thing that appeared in a screen totally BLACK, has been my folder "Documents and Settings" which opened automatically.
There was no way I could find neither the start menu (I mean the taskbar), or my icons...
So, whenever I close the Documents and Settings folder that had appeared, the only thing I could see was a black screen...
It was a kind of shock to me and I couldn't believe my eyes...After a few days, I tried the well-known combination "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" to see what was working and what was not.
Then I pressed the 'FILE', then 'NEW TASK' and finally, I typed the word 'explorer' in there.
That's all! Suddenly, all turn to normal like the day before the problem started. I was happy with it, I could use my Satellite A300 again!
However, it is an indirect way to do my work PC!
This means that I'm still fain to use this indirect way to make the icons and the taskbar appears.
This means that the 'explorer.exe' does not work?
Many programs registry I use notify me on some HKY... files that contain DATA NON. I have to let you know that the explorer.exe is located in the (empty) folders.
It indicates that transplant programs that I use, point out the problem I have?
Can someone help me?I don't want to use the safe option of FORMATTING (also known as the FORMAT).
Thanks in advance,
George A. SebrosHello
Seems that your Vista is confused upward
You can try to clean the registry and operating system in order to avoid the new installation of the OS.
Please use the CCLeaner.I use this tool as well for free and it cleans the registry and other files at the time.
It really helps!But if the BONE still does not work properly then you should try a new installation
Of course, this procedure is radically because the HARD disk should be formatted, but on the other hand, you will get a clean and functional BONE -
Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas: in my laptop is Explorer.exe does not load at startup on my account, his work with the guest account. Also it does not manually with the new process. Kindly help me.
I have seen at redistry Edit it's explorer.exe in winlogin sell attribute.
Hi HiteshAstan,
one) don't you recall making any changes to the computer before this happened?
(b) what exactly happens when you sign in to your account? You get a specific error message?
Step 1: Let us check if the problem persists in safe mode
Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
If the problem persists, you can deduct that the user account is corrupted
Step 2: Create a new administrator account and then try to repair your user account

Someone has this kind of experience, please share

Concerning
SRH? So basically you're saying is if none of the tables are changed then GATHER_STATS_JOB will not work, but I see tables are updated again the task does not run. I did > dba_scheduler_jobs request and the State of employment are true and regular. Please see my previous post on the output
Am I missing something here, I get some parameters parameters
So basically you are saying is if none of the tables are changed then GATHER_STATS_JOB will not work.
GATHER_STATS_JOB will take place, and if there is no table in which there is a 10% change in the data, it will bring together statistics on this table. If no data in the table have changes less than 10 percent, it will bring together not statistics.

I have a friends Compac laptop and he managed to stop loading explorer.exe when starting after logon is complete. I can't for the life of me remember what I have to do to restore this process in the startup routine so that his office will be in charge. He has an extraordinary number of startups, but he managed to remove this (essential) program, especially in lists of useless junk that is responsible.
It's a compact with an Intel processor running Vista and of course it doesn't have the ERD. There is a recovery on the hard drive partition and if I knew how to use it, maybe this would a repair option, but I'm not clear on how to use either because there is no literature or what he had with the computer. By way of explanation, he is a foster child and had been tossed around a lot, so it's not too surprise that it doesn't have any of these materials.
Go to this site and download the tool in a removable device like flash memory:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
And then start your PC and press the F8 key repeatedly and start in safe mode and then run the tool of flash and complete analysis of the system memory.

Windows Explorer.exe does not often
Recently and I have no idea why, "explorer.exe" becomes "unresponsive" at random times when I use my Dell Inspiron 1750 running a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I was not able to produce this problem constantly, but it happens quite often. I can't see my taskbar, start menu or the desktop. I have to manually complete the process via the Task Manager, and then run it again to explore to rework and all good. And then finally, it happens again. Please help me. Thank you.

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

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
