  The MpegSplitter.ax is a codec file. If you have recently downloaded/installed a codec pack (or a program which included this codec), uninstall it. A quick Google for "MpegSplitter.ax" brought a lot of links, but this one has very detailed troubleshooting steps:

• Explorer Windows crashing when browsing some folders.

  Hi all. I use Windows 7 x 64 and I have a very annoying problem for some time. What I read on various sources, it is a common problem, but I found a permanent solution for it.
  Windows Explorer crash (and I have to restart it) when I'm on some folders that have video files in their navigation. What happens at random, from what I've seen. If I turn off the "Show thumbnails" option in Folder Options, everything is fine, but I do like it.
  I'm not really sure, but I think that this problem happened a few times when browsing folders with images too.

  Is that what I can do except disabling the thumbnail option?

  Thank you.

  Hi, this means a video codec DLL is the cause of the crash. Have you installed a package of Code? If so, upgrade to the latest version or uninstall it completely.

• Explorer Windows crashed. No taskbar in safe mode. System Restore does not help you.

  Hello. I have a problem with my Windows 7 desktop. A few days ago I can't run my iTunes, I searched it upward into the Apple tech support website and as said: uninstall, remove remaining files, delete the temporary folder. When you delete the temporary folder, I created another folder inside and moved the files to the folder I created. Some aren't s mobile because they were still running (active). I just deleted the folder that I created that contains the files that were inactive. When I turn it on yesterday (December 20) and log in to my user account (standard user), there's a pop window saying "windows Explorer crashed. Please close the program. We will notify you when a solution was found"I closed the window and waited. After that the window was closed, none of the desktop icons and the taskbar is visible. I waited for an hour and nothing happened. This also happens to other user accounts. I shut down the computer by using the Task Manager. I did the same thing today (21 dec) and it's the same thing. I tried the system restore, but it's always the same. I tried to boot in SafeMode as administrator to perform the clean boot. The taskbar is not visible. I pressed windows on the keyboard button and the taskbar appears. But the bar 'start' is no upward. I clicked on the Start button and the bar 'start' is not yet up. Help, please. Thank you.

  Hi Yan Sheng,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

  It appears from the description of the problem that you are unable to find the desktop icons and the taskbar on your computer. I understand the inconvenience.

  • How did you perform the system restore?

• Explore Windows crashes when using creative Cloud

  I also encounter this problem after using creative cloud Packager, install the following applications.

  Bridge

  Acrobat

  Photoshop

  Illustrator

  InDesign

  English (United States) as the language

  Windows 7 Pro x 64

  When I run the package install, about 5 min in the install explorer.exe stops working (i.e. the desktop background and the icons have disappeared).

  I don't get a crash of windows error, because explorer.exe broke down... as if it was not quite clear.

  However, when I restore explorer.exe Taskmanager > new task > explorer.exe I see software installation, there are no errors, and software work.

  something in this installation package is to kill explorer.exe.

  Let me know if you have need for a newspaper or something.

  @bigdog3766 - my work around

  (1) wait for about 1-2 minutes of deployment, then ctrl + alt + delete when the icons disappear on your desktop

  (2) Taskmanager > new task > explorer.exe > ok - at this stage all the icons are back

  (3) computer > Add Remove Programs > uninstall Acrobat Pro

  (4) log on to the account of creative cloud on the computer, and then click on install for Acrobat Pro

  Uninstallation of Acrobat pro is very fast, depending on your download speed, installation may take a little.

  It is perhaps not a solution, but will work until the deployment tool is updated and the problem is solved.

  I hope this helps!

• Explore Windows crashes

  whenever I try to open the windows XP Explorer, Control Panel, my computer, I get an Explorer error message and the application exits. I can't see any of my files or folders or copy or move or select files on my hard drive. How can I fix it?

  This could be caused by a large number of factors, including the malware and file system corruption.
  A good first step to diagnose this problem would be to try to start safe mode.
  To start in safe mode, repeatedly press the F8 key during startup until you get a black & white screen asking you to choose between several modes of starting.  Use your arrow keys to select the option 'Safe Mode'.  If you see this problem in Mode without failure, then that indicates that your problem is related to the files that are run as part of a normal start, but are not essential elements of Windows.  You can use msconfig to refine

  "How to solve configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP"

  Another possible cause is a bad extension.  freeware ShellExView to diagnose this problem.

• Explore Windows crash

  OK, hope I can help with that.

  for the months ive been frustrated with windows Explorer shut downs, caused last few I think by dep, which I was not able to work, but today when I turned on my laptop when I am logged into the windows explore problem box appeared to freeze me and then close windows Explorer, only for 1 or 2 seconds later and do the same thing again He always does that, no matter what I try continualy now for 4 or 5 hours of freezing and blocking down, I can not access my control panel or my computer as windows Explorer freezes at startup reboots and freezes again!

  as you can imagine it drives me crazy, ive scanned various forums but cannot find an answer to my problem.

  any ideas?

  Hello

  I answered this before and some how the answer has disappeared.

  Unless you really need to ASK bho I would remove them - use the ASK toolbar or
  ASK Search Assistant?

  If you don't use them and then uninstall in Control Panel - programs and features or use
  Revo Uninstaller. Later in SpyBhoRemover make sure they are gone.

  Revo Uninstaller - Free Version

• Explore Windows 7 crashes when you try to copy files, pictures, etc.

  I have Windows 7 and since a few weeks ago, every time I try to copy files, documents, photos from one folder to another or photos from my SD card to my computer, or unzip compressed files, when I try to paste, explore Windows crashes and closes.

  Can someone help me please.

  Thank you.

  If you mean that you see something like this:

  

  If this is the case, read this:

  Maybe you have a distressed Explorer Shell Extension.

  Several recent systems of the incidents involving Acer and MyWinLocker of EgisTec (which is already known to include some suspicious Explorer shell extensions) that could come preinstalled on your system.

  Even if your system is not at Acer there installed MyWinLocker and since there were many reports indicate that it contributes to crashes explore it seems a good place to start looking.

  If you look in your installed programs and find MyWinLocker or whatever it is of EgisTec and you don't know what that is, or why it is there consider just uninstall, restart, and then see how things work.

  If you have determined that MyWinLocker or any other program EgisTec intervene follow GP below, so you will be able to see all Explorer shell extensions.

  If you see all the extensions of EgisTec, software security PSD, eDataSecurity, DragDropProtect (they will be some of pink extensions) start with these first.

  If none of these things exist, continue:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program.  Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.

  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:

  

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Windows Explorer crash

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition (right click).  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  A user reported that it was necessary to restart the browser after each adjustment to do that press Ctrl-E since in ShellExView.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure.   You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.

  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

  Thank you for your help, but I tried something else. What you suggested, it was too complicated for me :) I restored Windows 7 to the point before the problem started (which was a recent Java Update December 26) and even if he says that restoration could not be complete, it seems to be invalid the latest version of Sun Java and Windows Explorer now works as it is supposed to.

• Vista - Windows Explorer repeated crashes / Invisible Notification icons

  Hi all

  First of all, thank you in advance for reading my problem and for any help that anyone can provide.

  My computer has been recently infected with Antimalware Doctor, a fake antivirus program type you want to send money to "fix" everything what he reported. I went to the record of his program and deleted directly. After that, Windows Explorer seems to crash everytime I'm wriggling on the State of Notification bar icons. It would be close all my files, I was working on that. I found a work around that puts each folder in a separate task, so it's a minor relief.

  I did a full scan with Norton 360 and returned the next day. Things seem to be fine, until an hour later, the Explorer has crashed again. I noticed that it seems to hang exactly one hour after it starts. Accidents have occurred at 19:59, 59:08 and 09:59, a bit like clock work. Even with no opening of files. I ran the Malwarebyte Anti-Malware and CC Cleaner several times. Each has found and "corrected" several errors, some of the fake antivirus. Explorer will crash an hour later still.

  Another symptom that may or may not be related, is that the Notification tray icons are invisible. I can hover over where they should be, get a ToolTip and use them normally, but they are simply not listed.

  Here are the details of the problem of my last fall (just before I started this post.)

  Signature of the problem:

  right click on windows Explorer causes crash!  Sometimes when I try to empty the trash, it also blocks?  I use windows 7?

  Right-click accidents are caused by third-party shell extensions. To identify the culprit, you must use a utility like ShellExView and disable context menus not Microsoft managers one by one (or disable items in a batch) and observe.
