Explorer stops and restarts.

Windows Explorer stops and restarts when I right-click on a file or a folder, or when I try to delete a file or folder. A window will appear: "Windows Explorer has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... ». Then another window will appear: "Windows Explorer restarts. This does not happen with all files and folders, but many. I can use a third-party program (sheets) to delete files and folders, but not to explore. I have recently installed Windows Live Mail, Photo Gallery and I replaced Norton Security with McAfee, but I don't know if the problem started after or before those. Says Windows solutions I check for updates but I have automatic updates turned on and I have all the updates.

Hello

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
strange problems).

Did you use the McAfee removal tool to ensure that it has been uninstalled completely? If this isn't the case, it uses now.

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.

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.

  • When you pass "Windows Explorer" stopping and restarting. Only happening since I installed 9 Microsoft Updates, the update of Windows 8 December 2009. (Vista Ultimate SP2)

    Each week, I (manually) install the recommended update of Windows updates. I'm under IE8 too. Also running Microsift Security Essentials.
    Since the installation of updated 9 dec, (KB974318, 905866, 890830, 976416, 973917, 970430, 976325, 976884, 971737) 8, about 3 - 5 times a day, I click to open a folder, or click a link - I get a window saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working".  He says while it collects information, and then restart Windows Explorer.
    It happened this morning, as soon as I clicked on "Windows Update" icon of the button 'start '. It also occurs when the single click to open a folder on my desktop or inside another folder.

    I've also observed sometimes when you try to delete an important file (for example 300 MB) the deletion starts but seems to hang and ends not - even after 10 minutes or more.

    Before installing the latest batch of updates I have not seen these problems within 9 months I've been running this machine.
