• Toshiba controls freezes Windows Explorer on Satellite L350D

  Hey guys, my Toshiba controls (Mute, play, stop, next and forward) buttons literally freezes Windows Explorer. I'm not 100% sure if there is a driver that comes pre-installed, but if there is then could someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this?

  Also, if it helps I have my folder 'TOSAPINS' containing all the programs that came pre-installed with my laptop.

  Thank you for your support.

  Hello

  Do you mean that your internet explore crashes by pressing control buttons Toshiba?
  That s strange.

  Never heard talk about this issue, but as you know nothing is impossible using the Windows OS ;)

  However, I recommend the update of the OS and the cleaning of the operating system using CCLeaner (free software).
  In addition, you could reinstall the package of value added because this package contains applications that control buttons of Toshiba.

  Good bye

• The volume causes Windows Explorer to freeze

  Hi all

  A question I continue to meet is one which concerns the volume on my laptop controls.  Every now and then, when I try to adjust the volume of my computer, Windows Explorer will freeze.  When I try to click on the bar of Solution Explorer, I was informed that "Windows has stopped working", and I give myself the option to restart, closure or waiting so that he could respond.  I can shut down or restart and will unlock the bar, but any time I try to adjust the volume after this first occurrence will result in another gel.  Volume control by physical on my laptop volume button or the virtual volume mixer will produce the same result.
  Here are some specs...
  Software: Windows 7 Edition home premium (32 bit)
  Material: Toshiba Satellite A205-S4577
  It is a problem that happens erratically, but tends to occur more frequently when the laptop is unplugged.
  
  Can anyone give advice?

  Thank you, Pranav.

  I actually received a response from Technical Support for Windows earlier and it solved the problem!
  In this case, they said that i:
  First, back up all files.
  Then make a quick virus scan to search for threats.  A few should be ok, but 10 or more are a problem.
  Then, do an analysis of the file system to find all system files is damaged.  The scan detects and repairs.  To do:
  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow
  And that solved it for me!

  Hello

  1. what types of files are there in Windows Explorer?
  2. don't transfer you files from an external drive?
  Method 1:
  Create a new user account and see if that helps.
  Reference:
  How to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279783
  
  Method 2:
  I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure.
  Here is a link that will give you information on how to perform a full scan of the system:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: 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.

• Windows Explorer (NOT IE) freezes and say that Windows has stopped working.

  I'm constantly Windows Explorer has stopped working error whenever I try to use it.  I can open the Windows Explorer, but I can't click on search of files or a file or folder without this error and I have to use the task of the Manager close.  The same thing happens when I use MyComputer and try to access the files in this way.  I have XP Home Edition.  I have no way to access my files now that the command prompt window.  I ran my anti-virus (Norton) and he did not find anything.
  Any suggestions?

  The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

  The second issue of Windows troubleshooting: what is the status of virus/malware of the machine? If you think it's clean, what programs (and versions) allows you to determine this?

  Make sure that the computer is clean (Norton alone is not enough):

  If the computer is clean, try the boot minimum troubleshooting to see if something works in the background is the culprit.

• Windows Explorer freezes in Vista Home Edition

  Windows Explorer stops working when moving the files from one folder to another, removing files, when I put something in the trash. It comes from the dialog box showing how much time remaining. I have to do a Ctrl, alt, delete to open the file manager and then select end task. The files are where I put them, but the dialog box will remain forever!

  Often, a certain instability in Windows Explorer is due to the defective shell extensions and addons.
  Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

  Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

• Firefox crashes when you open a windows Explorer window

  I had this problem for 2 days, every time Firefox opens a windows Explorer window it would completely freeze, so every time I have try to save an image, look for a file/folder and so on. The problem started last night, but I had not added Add ons for firefox, plugins or installed new software on my pc. I tried to leave firefox alone when he did freeze to see if it be sorted, but when I went to check on it four hours later it was still frozen.

  My current operating system is Windows Vista, with a fresh install of the latest Firefox. Before I reinstalled it, I tried to launch reseting Firefox in safe mode, and delete my history, which none worked, neither does the new installation solved my problem.

  I just did a scan of my PC virus and it seems that the problem has been corrected, if someone else has this problem, scan your pc for viruses and to get rid of them, I hope that the problem should disappear as it has done for me.

• Satellite A200-TH7 - Windows Explorer not responding

  At random times (normally when I wake the PC) and I click on the volume control in the taskbar, nothing appears.
  Then I'll go to move the physical volume control cursor and nothing will happen.

  However, at this time, I'll try to click anywhere on the taskbar, but it freezes and says "Windows Explorer is not responding" and I have to restart the program. Once doing so, volume control isn't even on the taskbar. And if I slide the physical volume slider, Explorer crashes once more.

  I have Vista and its a Satellite A200-TH7.

  I have the volume on mute so I literally can't hear anything now.
  If I restart the computer, it'll work, but this problem occurs frequently.

  Hello

  In my view, this has nothing to do with the volume control on the task bar.
  In my opinion, there is a problem with the Explorer of Windows Vista.

  Usually, you can enable and disable the mute settings in Control Panel-> Sound-> reading tab.

  You are able to reach these settings?

  Hi HBrown Gordon,

  In order to focus more on your particular situation, I shared your post to a new thread.

  Please take a look at the following information through Wunders in a previous post:

  The work of Windows Explorer is to consider what is in the disk and its directory and present this information to the user.  If the disk or the disk directories are corrupted, it confuses Windows Explorer and can lead to lock.  Whenever Windows Explorer crashes, the first step should be to achieve a check disk (chkdsk) with the /f or/r option.

  "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

  Check disk can usually take hours depending on the speed and the size of the hard drive.  If corruption is present, it may take more time.  Plan on execution of the audit during the night or when you won't need your computer for awhile.  In addition, if corruption is present, files may be lost.  If possible, save what you can before you run the disk check.

  Hope that helps!

• I get the error of Windows Explorer tries to use the Control Panel Applets

  Whenever I have open Control Panel, and then select an applet (Folder Options), I get an error for Windows Explorer and everything is frozen until I have completed the task with the Task Manager.  I am running XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3.  Have passed through each .cpl file by placing each of them, one at a time in a temporary folder and then try the control panel again.  I always have the error and cannot detect what applet file could be causing it.  Any help is appreciated.

• Mapped DFS network file causes windows Explorer to hang

  Hello

  I have an environment running windows xp service Pack 3 and distributed file system (DFS) mapped network.

  whenever a client machine connects open Windows Explorer / my computer on a slow network or vpn, Windows Explorer / my computer freezes for ever. The computer can operate correctly, except for this problem. The only way is to cut my cable network or perform a restart.

  I also tried to find ways to change any dfs registry to reduce the interval or prevent as much as possible.
