Explorer Windows in Windows 7, do a right-click in 1 of the 4 causes of hard drives Windows Explorer to stop

Win 7, Windows Explorer, right click in the right hand only, Panel 1 of 4 hard drives causes Windows Explorer to stop.  The disk in question has been removed from my previous XP machine and inserted in it and a lot of files of data on it.  The other three disks were new and white discs.  All are formatted with NTFS and the disk in question worked well in my previous XP machine.  I have noticed no other problems with the drive.  Any suggestions as to what may cause this weird behavior and what I can do about it?  Thank you, gmhope

This could be a problem caused by an incompatibility between the different version of your bios on your xp machine. BIOS not all do the same things in the same way, I was taught that a hard drive from another machine may not work in another with a different bios. The bios needs flashing on the screen when you start, bios award, a commune is an example. If you start them both and they are both the same bios is not the cause, if they're differentmaybe that's the problem . If you no longer have your xp machine then it's not a way to say average ither.

But I suggest that you try to browse the disk using something else then windows Explorer (to avoid problem explorer).

Open the run command on your Start menu and type cmd this will open a command prompt.

Once opened type in the letter of the drive then an example of the colon (e :))

Pressing on enter you will now be in this drive, and then type dir and then press ENTER, this will bring up a list of files. If these steps work for you and are able to see the content of the file on your drive is intact, but there is a problem in Explorer that prevents you to use it.

    You n "t do it this way.

    You use cloning software to clone your existing to the new disk drive.  For portable computers, you will need to purchase an external hard drive enclosure which is (a) compatible with your drive (SATA or PATA) interface and (b) compatible with external connections on your laptop (for example, USB, FireWire, eSata).  Do not spend a lot of money for this speaker ($ 10-$ 20).

    If your new hard drive Western Digital, you can get the free cloning (a 'special' version of Acronis True Image) of WD software (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):

    Acronis True Image Home 11
    EASEUS ToDo Backup
    Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
    Casper
    Norton Ghost

    The process is simple:

    1. Install the software on your laptop for cloning
    2. RTFM (do not skip this step)
    3. Install the new drive in the external case
    4. Connect new player to the computer
    5. Clone original disc on new drive
    6. Stop
    7. Unplug the external computer case
    8. Exchange records (original for external disk) and the new laptop drive
    9. Reboot and enjoy your new drive.

    When you know that the cloning operation was successful, format the old drive, which is now in the external case and use it for backup of data.

  • Windows Explorer has stopped working error - I can't right click a folder on the desktop.

    This is my brother's computer, and they do not arrive in his account, only mine.  I have administrator rights, but it seems not to matter. This problem occurs only occasionally.  For example, I can right click on this text, copy it, then paste it.  However, if I go to the desktop and try right click on a folder to rename it, I get the error.  The error indicates that Windows Explorer has stopped working, when it says that it restarts, then the Office updates really quick. None of what I found in the forums have worked again this is why I started a new thread.  I think it might be a problem with the registry, then someone can please help me quickly find a solution?

    Note: I can not run as administrator command prompt because I can't right click, so I can't run sfc/scannow.

    We are volunteers here for the most part.

    It's a shame that we don't know anything about the distressed system but it was MS Answers owners have chosen to implement this community - do not ask basic system information when a new question is asked that make problems a lot time and frustrating.

    But now they way they choose to turn things around here.

    Maybe this will help you with your system of unspecified of brand and model with the release of unspecified Windows and Service Pack and unspecified install antivirus/antimalware:

    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.

    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!

If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.

  • In Windows 7, don't right click on programs in the Start Menu gives no option.

    I just installed Windows 7 on my new PC.

    I want to be able to right click on the programs located in the Start Menu and different options available.  Now, if I click on a program listed in the Start Menu I get nothing ~ no menu appears.

    As a result, some of the things that I can't do are (1) pins a program in the Start Menu, pin (2) a program to the taskbar and (3) run a program as an administrator.

    If I right click on the same program located in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs".

    the right click menu is displayed and I can do all the functions that must be available by right clicking on the version of the program in the Start Menu.

  • Want J010dx m7: windows will not start until after full recovery of the system with new HARD drive

    Hello world

    I need help here.

    My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).

    I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.

    I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.

    After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.

    I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.

    Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.

    What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.

    Concerning

    John

    OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.

    If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.

    Model No.: m7-j010dx

    Product #: E0K83UA #ABA

    Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)

    Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)

    User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.

    With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):

    When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media.  Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications.   If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.

    A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work.  I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented.   I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered.   The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what?  All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC.  Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.

    Huh?  It looks that I did not put any time at all.

    I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.

    After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.

    The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:

    UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.

    Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):

    SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit.  There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc.  Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't.   After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager.  The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition.  Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device.  Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported.   And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created.   The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.

    So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?

    Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.

    The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?

    I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.

    If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works.  It may or may not.  I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.

    If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.)   I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit.  He has worked on both units.

    Conclusion:

    I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation.  I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.

    But then again, I know.

    I am an employee of HP...

    The reason why I don't know if a disc that came with the computer is that we recently moved to a new State, and the disk can be in one of the boxes, still unopened.

    Good,

    This may solve your problem.

    If you have the product key for the version of windows 7 that was on your computer, you can go to: http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-7-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-links/

    in which, in, you can download the appropriate windows 7 ISO (don't forget the version is the same as that which was previously installed on your computer). Burn the ISO to a disk and then install it from the disc & activate with your product key.

    I hope this helps!

  • Windows XP Pro the cloning of new hard drives (ready to use to backup discs).

    Hello. I use a system dual-boot Windows XP Pro at the moment. The first instance of XP, I use for internet, test new applications, etc... (a beat hard drive). The second instance of XP, I only use my Audio Studio. Due to an an external sound card very inconsistently (Presonus Firebox), this system does not work.

    "Why not just install everything on a disk?" you ask. I have operated this way until recently and have grown tired of incompatible software and need to keep my Audio Studio completely isolated from everything else.

    What I did to remedy this situation is:
    (A) I bought a total of 4 hard drives SATA Seagate (unfortunately they aren't all the same capabilities. 2 x 250 GB + 300 + 500 GB.)
    (B) I bought some EZ-Swap hard drive trays. (Have the instances of XP with a C:\ root on 2 separate hard drives. One is the pace of the drive, the other only my Audio Studio. When the need to use the desired OS, I just slide into the status bar.)

    Due to the fact that I'm on dial-up (there is no high speed in my area so far), "days" to completely update my Windows XP Pro.

    My goal is as follows:
    (1) to perform a clean Windows (all the hardware drivers installed except for my external sound card) and fully implemented installation up-to-date. I don't plan any change of material with the exception of my card external sound.
    (2) from there, create an exact image of the operating system that can be saved in a data cd/dvd/hard drive to copy onto a new hard drive. Image includes everything. Ex: registry entries, the drivers installed and software.

    Norton Ghost is not an option, because it will have to be installed to make the image, therefore, be part of the image.

    Any ideas on how I can do such a thing works? Windows 'Backup' do what I propose (an ISO standard or emulated)?

    I prefer Acronis True Image of Norton Ghost. I don't know why you would want it installed in your operating system image, so just install it in your other operating system. You create a True Image bootable CD and allows to clone/disk images. Ghost or True Image - besides - will do exactly what you want. We do that all at once for clients with critical systems - clone their server to an identical disk drive hard (it must not be the same in your case) and put the spare drive in the closet in an emergency. True Image doesn't have to be installed on the target computer - just install * somewhere * so you can build the bootable CD. Or if you buy the retail version House instead of the download (what we do because we use an Enterprise version), the TI CD is probably bootable. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
