Explorer Windows run constantly

Windows installed on my Vista with SP2 Explorer machine launches in itself all the few minutes to 20 minutes, possibly launch copies as much as I think it hangs the computer.

What is the cause?  How can I fix this problem?  Is there a way to identify which launches the windows Explorer if it wasn't me?

You have a keyboard with quick access keys or shortcuts that launch the Explorer?  Type you a 'e' and at the same time accidentally pressing the Windows key (on some keyboards, it is marked as a starting point, in any case it is the one with the flag of Microsoft on this issue)?  Maybe the key is faulty, you have another keyboard to test with?

If it is not something like that, try this next step.

I see a lot of recommendations here for programs such as -

  • I have 28 of Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 running on a Windows XP, I can "desensivise" the copy mode?

    I have 28 Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 running on Windows XP
    I'm compiling a list of www.thegazette.co.uk
    Sometimes the Explorer is slow, very slow, take up to five minutes to move from one page to another, but I can copy and paste paragraphs of her.
    Firefox is fast but splits a paragraph into small sections (sometimes a letter) and each of them as simple features pasta in Notebook or Word. I am so in five minutes a page after I reassembled things.
    My current compromise is looking in Firefox, then load the address of the page in Explorer solutions for the treatment of the paragraph.
    I can "desensivise" the method of copy of Firefox?

    I have the same problem when I try to copy the text, but all copies fine if I download the PDF file and open it with Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader. Try this if none of the cor - el or jscher2000 PDF viewers proposed work.

    To do this there is a button at the top of the image that the document is in (it looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow above). Click here and you will be prompted to open the PDF file or save it. You can then choose to open it with Adobe Acrobat/Reader or save it in your file downloads, in which case you can open it by clicking the download button (the arrow at the top right of the default browser window) and select it from the menu. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe reader, you can download Adobe Reader here.

  • Explorer Windows stopped working, and it wont let me run cmd as administrator.

    A few months ago, I got the error message "Windows Explorer has stopped working". He asks if I want such online for a solution, or close the program. I looked online and everyone says to run cmd as administrator, and then type Sfc/scannow, but when I right click on cmd after a search on the start menu, it says that it has stopped working again. I also tried to run cmd as an admin using Crlt-shirt-entry, but he always says that it has stopped working. I use Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit.

  • Explorer Windows constantly crashing everything while browsing

    For several months now the windows Explorer has been constantly crashing just by browsing through the folders, usually prices upwards or downwards at two levels (so it can happen every two minutes if I keep trying to get into my files once it stops and restarts). I'm not sure what log data are required to provide data on this problem, but http://pastebin.com/YJpkJfYL must be a link to the log of the event viewer for such an event. Any help would be welcome.

    Note: under Windows 7 64-bit on a laptop with an Intel Core i5 - 2430M processor if it is useful to all

    The error points to the ASUSWSShellExt64.dll:

    The failed module name: ASUSWSShellExt64.dll, version: 1.1.0.27, time stamp: 0x4c7f631d

    ASUSWSShellExt64.dll appears to be from ASUS WebStorage software.

    Try to update or if necessary, uninstall the software ASUS WebStorage.

  • Explorer.exe crashing constantly

    I recently ghost a laptop (Dell E-6530) with Win7 x 64 and installed all the drivers that I could find at Dell. I used a ghost of a different model Dell laptop image but everything seems to work fine except that explorer.exe is constantly crashing. Small activities such as deleting or moving items on the desktop are constantly crashing to her.

    I managed to change the registry to get the explorer for files .dmp exit on the crash, but I'm unable to open or download the software running which will open. I've linked to the .dmp file in the hope that someone will interpret what is happening.

This means that the system is too overclocking? If so, is it logical to deduce that this may cause the CPU fan to run so much? Finally, how can I get this back to 100% (or less)?

    The fan does not this way under MacOS.

  • Kira 107 - fan runs constantly at 90%

    I have a new 107 Kira and the fan runs constantly at 90%, but I'm not under what anyone in particular (Chrome, Firefox, Spotify, Word, Excel). The noise is constant and unbearable.

    I see in the Performance Manager that the processor is clocked to 2.91 GHz even - if maximum speed is supposed to be 2.40 Ghz.

    Any idea the parameters to change to calm this fan?

    Thank you!

    You could start the the Task Manager and in the process tab, you will find all background applications that would appeal to the CPU.
    Click the CPU column to display all the processes of loading the CPU.

    However, you can also try to change the option of cooling method that is available in Windows Advanced Power options.
    Go to control panel → power options.
    Click here on the power plan that is currently in use.
    Then click on advanced power options and access the cooling method.

    Here you can change it from active to passive.

    In addition, you can decrease the status of CPU max at 90-95%

  • Equium A100 - fan runs constantly after the release of sleep

    I was faced with a problem with an Equium A100, if the system is put into mode 'sleep', and when he took over this mode the cpu fan runs constantly never turn off, this only happens when I get out of sleep mode

    Apart from this, the fan works normanly turn on for a short time, when the temperature rises and then turn off again unless I wake up sleep mode windows.

    Hello

    You didn t show all details on the installed system. However, I think that its system related issue possibly some processes that run in the background constraints and to lock the CPU, causing a higher activity of the fan.

    It would be interesting to know if the same problem occurs with the help of a new OS installed.

  • Explorer Windows has stopped working.

    I don't have an error code. Explorer Windows stopped working altogether, and I have no windows on my computer. It started after installing SP 2. for vista. I have an Acer Aspire 5535-5452 and have had problems in the past with updates. I had to recover my computer many times sence buying this computer in 9 / 09. not even 6 months yet and this is not the time to throw. I am not happy with this system or with vista. But my school said I should use this system.

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you installed SP2?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista SP2 issues until August 30, 2010. Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location. Some questions may require that more support for which he is advanced a charge.  Go to http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034 & select appropriate category (i.e., download problem;) Installation problem; Problems after installing a service pack).

  • running explore under RunAs is not working now

    I have problems with RunAs works with Explorer.

    RunAs works on system restore and EVENTVWR. MSC under that same account limited but not with Explorer as before. The Explorer window never appears.

    Recently, I ran SFC/scannow and I was wondering if it could it be, and I've also (more recently) used files and Settings Transfer Wizard to override the settings from the desktop only (starting a normal Admin account to this Limited problem).

    I had occasional problems with Explorer recently during the shutdown by saying that so-called Proxy Desktop is still running and must be closed, and I saw an additional Explorer running in the Manager of tasks under a priority high definition, that's why I ran SFC. I recently changed files Configuration does not require loading of folders in a separate process. I have about a week or more of available Restore Points.

    According to EVENTVWR. MSC, I succeed with this RunAs Explorer event #s 680, 528 & 576-based login, but it seems to connect immediately do walk back with event #538.

    All short to delete this account and starting fresh ideas are appreciated.

    Fortunately I found my dose and, boy, I think it's just a little unusual! If you disable 'Windows files to launch in a separate process' you can be is no longer able to open Explorer.exe in a limited account, if you try to do with administrator privileges using RunAs.

    See hxxp://blogs.msdn.com/b/aaron_margosis/archive/2004/07/07/175488.aspx

    As soon as I changed my setting folder options and registry appropriate (as Admin), my RunAs Explorer was back in business. Yee - haa!
