• Windows XP explorer.exe keeps hanging, freezing and crashing

  Recently installed the new copy of Windows XP SP2 on a new SSD and updated to SP3. My old hard drive is used to store the data now. I also have an external hard drive. I have 4 GB of RAM installed (I know Windows uses only about 3).

  The problem I have is that whenever I try to transfer files, transfer files slows down a lot. I could transfer a 60 MB file with extension .db for my external hard drive on the internal storage drive and the file transfer will tell 10 seconds to 20 seconds remaining, and it takes forever. If I cancel the file transfer, sometimes, I'm unable to close windows Explorer, or change files or right click on the files. They can do a text "not responding" appear next to the title. Usually, my Start menu and task bar becomes disabled/inaccessible. I can't click on things, do a right click or use the windows key. Sometimes I have to force quit the explorer.exe, and sometimes it hangs on its own. The start menu disappears and if I have "explorer.exe" Task Manager, it opens a new window of Solution Explorer, but I have to restart to get everything working again.
  For my SSD, I use Samsung magician and have disabled disabled prefetcher, of indexing and my samsung magician set power settings. I updated the Intel controller for readers, and "Write cache" is enabled in the strategies of discs. I also tried to switch off the Protection of data for explorer.exe running, but it does not work and currently I have DEP on for everything. This suspension occurs sometimes, simply browsing through Explorer. I installed a 3rd party file 'ExplorerXP' Manager but met the same problem there. I also ran chkdsk and Defrag the interal storage disk. All my services are at their default settings.

  Thanks for the reply. I have only the OEM drive, so I can't run the System File Checker. I have run chkdsk, and everything came back fine. Regarding anti-virus, I was using windows security essentials.

  I went ahead and bought a new hard drive. I backed up my files on external hard drive, course deleted my SSD and formatted the embarrassing internal drive. Installed the new hard drive and installed the new OS on the SSD.
  With the new drive and installed former player, I noticed that still send me in trouble. It works, but is very slow when copy/transfer of large files. I unplugged, unless you know how I could make a use - for example to keep more small files less than 30 MB on it.

• Whenever I try to delete a file or display a folder, explorer.exe keeps freezing and crashing.

  Hello

  Whenever I try to delete a file or display a folder, explorer.exe keeps freezing and crashing. I tried SFC/scannow, and he found that he could not repair the corrupted files. I also tried to use a boot disk to fix my OS, but he said he had "no problems found".
  Please answer as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

  Use chkdsk /f and sfc/scannow and reboot several times.

  Sometimes it takes more pases.

• I lost some of the folders in the library.  They exist in the Explorer solutions, but somehow got removed from the library.  I can bring them back in but I'm afraid it will happen again in LR.  Please help me understand what happened and how can I prevent

  I lost some of the folders in the library.  They exist in the Explorer solutions, but somehow got removed from the library.  I can bring them back in but I'm afraid it will happen again in LR.  Please help me understand what happened and how can I prevent the recurrence. I use Win7.

  A few possibilities:

  1 > you click with the right button on the files and chose to remove them from Lightroom.

  2 > you have created a new catalog, and records that are not part of another catalog.

  Each of these scenarios seem like they could be a possibility?

• Explorer.exe keeps the name change, deletion etc. of media files.

  I do not know in which category falls THIS problem...
  Feel free to sort where it belongs to.

  The next thing happen very often:

  I can't rename a file or folder. It is not the permissions. It's allways explorer.exe locks the file. Logging and turn it on again solve the problem most of the time, so I can remove/rename the file Explorer. In cases where this does not work I opening of session and closing session again, open a cmd.exe shell and remove the file without problem.

  The types of files are .wma, .wmv, .mp3, .avi .jpg etc. all types of typical media files + a few others.

  If the source of the problem is continuation of behavior:
  Vista explorer.exe opens the file for read the news there, like extif of information in files .jpg, like mp3-ID3-tag, etc etc.
  Can we prevent the explorer.exe to open these files for playback and the verification of the information? Win XP, one way to solve it (partially) which was to unregister the shmedia.dll, in Vista, it seems to be "" wmploc. "." DLL", but I prefer first an email of confirmation.

  It's even worse with .exe files, where allways Vista (and XP) open the file to check for the icon resource, so on slow network, this leads to serious problems.

  Questions are...
  1. How can it be prevented that Vista opens various types of multimedia files to check their content and hang in part to the fact that (rename/delete prevention)?
  2. can it be prevented that Vista opens all .exe files to search for an icon resource, especially on the VPN or ANY network connection? I do almost all my (via VPN) stuff filecopy in a shell because I know that explore crashes after a few seconds due to this behavior.

  KB956592 is already installed, it helps a little, but only a little because it isn't the navigation folder that really does hang, it is the action of file - open (especially with the .exe).

  Before ask you: I have already change one of the biggest disadvantages of vista (this .reg file should explain itself if easy to do in words) so he checks any way content of the media due to the "automatic file type detection", but it always opens these files when they're accidentally hovering over these files and so crashes on certain files or make the undeletable and unrenameable.

  This kind of thing is confirmed by vista resource monitor and pious sysinternals (now wininternals) tools, I see that explorer.exe is the culprit.

  Don't worry, I still prefer Vista on XP :), it's just that he needs (such as XP and ALL other OS, no exception of Linux here!) adjustments for ease of use.

  Set

  reg file - against the boredom of the folder-

• My iPad2 (iOS9.2) has locked up. I can turn on and off, but he can't see the icons. Cannot touch and change the screen.

  My iPad with iOS 9.2 2 locked. I can click it and outside. There is no guest sign in code. He immediately opened to the icons, but I can't switch to another screen icons. When I touch one of the icons, nothing happens. No movement at all. Even the clock doesn't change. Does anyone else have this problem?

  Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

  • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
  • Press and hold the Home button
  • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

• Received a message on my copy of Windows XP is not genuine not. Tried to turn it back on but it does not work.

  Discovered my Tech guy that my original copy of Windows XP Professional with SP2 had corrupted files on the CD, so he used a different copy.

  I tried to activate and update; the update was very good, but I got the message on a copy of Windowsdid topic does not pass Genuine Windows Validation.

  I tried to follow the instructions... while I can reactivate with my product key, but after the procedure:

  Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools... There is no command "Activate Windows" to do.

  original title: Product Activation

  Sounds like a bad copy of windows... I would ask your tech guy how to activate it.  Even if the computer is turned on, she would still have the windows command activate.  It almost seems that it put on an illegal copy.

• Can I go back to the factory setting after a new product windows, was intalled

  Windows 7 was installed on my computer (unbeknownst to me) by my friend to kid. I get this thing say activation has expired, and I need a product key. A friend don't know where is the Moose package, so I'm stuck either with the purchase of a product key that is over $ 100 or I wanted to know is any way to restore my system to window Vista? I don't have a CD as Vista is already installed when I purchased computer.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• How can I get back 5.3 library disappeared after I loaded from android to the first item 12?

  I recently upgraded to first items 12 and loaded my photos and videos of my android (4 G Samsung Galaxy) in the new program. Then when I went to my Lightroom 5.3 I found my files of entire library except a picture with a statement of missing file disappeared, disappeared. All gone but only one image. The original files are still on my hard drive, but can we recover them with my Lightroom changes that have not been saved? How can I do this? or are they all go?

  Are you sure that you open the correct catalog? Search the .lrcat files and if you find the good double click it.

  You have backup catalogs (do you not)? Open your most recent backup catalog and see what you have.

  I don't know about the first 12 items, but I don't see how that would be linked to lose your LR catalog.

• Can turn on virtual memory, but it is not retained after reboot

  I'm unable to set up virtual memory.  Advanced settings screen appears when the computer is strarted, but entries changes do not take effect when the computer is restarted.

  I don't think it's possible to run that Windows 7 unless it uses virtual memory.  I guess that you're having trouble seting the paging files, is that correct?  If so, you want to do this via the Control Panel System applet.  When you're there, click Advanced settings.  Then under the Performance section click on settings and advanced options.  Under virtual memory, click on change.  From there, the best thing to do is check the box that says automatically manage file size of exchange for all readers.  Until you return to the desktop, and then click OK.

  Good luck.

• Explorer.exe multiplies uncontrollably when opening rar files, can't choose default program.

  I changed the default program for rar to explorer.exe files. It does not work. The process explorer.exe keeps multiplying. He completed the Task Manager until nothing else can be seen. The mouse cursor will not stop flickering with the hourglass.

  After losing, I tried to change the default program for rar files, but I couldn't. The box "Always use this program" is grayed out. I tried to run winrar and combine it with rar files, does not work, tried the same thing with 7zip, too does not work.

  I need help changing the default program to winrar. Thank you.

  This image does not seem to come from a control panel, default programs, associate a type of file or Protocol with a program [it seems coming from Windows Explorer, open the dialog box].

  I have only found grayed out options in the foregoing, if the extension of the file in question had already been defined in the Control Panel, default programs, set your default programs.

  Hello girl,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  1. What is the exact error code or message that you receive, when you say 'Explorer.exe '?
  2. Exactly when you receive this error message?
  3. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
  4. When you say, "preparing your desktop", you see no latency during the Windows logon?

  According to your description, the question may arise due to file system corruption. Thus, I would you recommend to disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard, restart your computer and check if your screens hung up on "preparing your desktop". Apart from this, I would suggest trying the following solutions and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  The opening of explorer.exe, if you get the error "Server execution failed", then I suggest you to try the hotfix in the following link and check the issue.

  Error message when you try to start Explorer.exe in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2: "Server execution failed".

  If this method does not address your problem, try the next method.

  Method 2:

  Try to run a scan of the file system (CFS) auditor to check any file corruption:

  1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, click OK, or alternatively click on Yes.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  For more information, refer to this link:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

  Additional information:

  To check for freezing explorer.exe and latency on the Windows form, see the following link.

  8.1 Windows, Windows 8 or Windows 7 hangs or freezes

  Antivirus warning: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

• 'explorer.exe sound disconnection' programs stall and the closure of his

  Explorer.exe keeps stalling my pc; I noticed that it happens when I'm playing itunes, pandora, videos to youtube and videos online at random.  Out of desparation, I restart my pc I did today, so about 10 times and each time, stop is at a standstill and the message is: wait "explorer.exe logoff sound."  I end up having to "force the reboot.  I have tried everything to uninstall what I think to be the culprit, to turning off what I believe to be the problem under 'my computer' in sounds... running full scans, defragmenting, cleaning disc, everything!  Seems legitimate Explorer.exe in Windows, but it is interfering or incompatible with another program or something.  I don't have Microsoft Security Essentials for protection.  I have Windows 7, IE9... Please help me solve this problem
