Guard Windows Explorer crashing and restarting

Hi all

I use Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on a Toshiba laptop. Yesterday afternoon, this "Explorer stopped responds" / "reboot...". "begun loop that I couldn't solve. I was not doing something special when he started to occur, no new installs, no new program, just browse the Internet with Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer Beta (all 3 for various reasons not related to the problem). Here are the things I've tried so far:

1 system restore - unable to do because apparently, even if it was lit, "0" space has been assigned to the and there is no restore point
2 safe Mode - does the same thing
3. clean the Boot - did the same thing
4 sfc/scannow - no integrity problem found
5 chkdsk - no problems found
6. Norton Internet Security 2011 Full System Scan - no problems found

I spent over 6 hours trying to solve this problem, including 2 Norton analysts, trying to help through the support of the remote control. Only thing, they found a malware 'hack' through a combination of a-squared one of them installed, removal of which had absolutely no effect on the problem.

I was able to disable (complete the process stops the loop but it means that I have no bar of tasks/desktop/folders)

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you.

(If possible, I prefer not to reinstall windows, format my hard drive or install a third-party program to "fix" for this problem)

Just to make the clear solution for future reference:

Go to Event Viewer (open Manager jobs by Ctrl + Alt + Delete, click on 'file'-> 'break-in' type "eventvwr.msc" for Event Viewer) to see what type of program is made a mistake in addition to Windows Explorer (2 errors showed on every restart Windows Explorer). Look at the path of the file for the second error. E.g.

Activation context generation failed for "c:\program files\real\realplayer\plugins\rmxrend.dll." Load Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT, processorArchitecture = "x 86" publicKeyToken = "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", type = "win32", version = "9.0.21022.8" was not found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Note the main program (in this case realplayer). Then follow these steps, in order, until Windows stops crashing:

1. ensure that the problems causing program is up-to-date, otherwise, update.

2 Uninstall (go to the Manager of task-> type 'file'-> 'run' in "appwiz.cpl" for Add/Remove Programs)

3. If #2 working, reinstall it and see if the problem is still present. If this is the case, uninstall and keep it uninstalled.

My problem was caused by RealPlayer and went away once I uninstalled it. My realplayer has been updated and reinstall the back problem, so bye bye realplayer.

    Hi TodFranklin,

    1. when exactly you receive this error message?

    2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Start in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

     

    Step 2: If the problem does not occur in safe mode, you can put your system to boot (in normal mode) to solve the problem.

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 provided in the above article.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  • 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.
    Any ideas?

    I run McAfee anti virus and it is up-to-date.  I also ran SpyBot and PC Tools 36 hours - clean.
    Last night I ran as Microsoft on line scanners - no found major problems, some problems of minor registry, which I corrected.
    Windows Explorer problem occurred twice since the scan.

    Someone knows a problem associated to the last batch of updates?
    Thank you.

  • Whenever I try to open a folder, windows Explorer stops and restarts. How can I open my files?

    When I double click on a folder to open it or try to open it in the start menu, an alert tells me that windows Explorer has to close, and then restart. I can't open the windows. I can open the fine when I'm in safe mode but not in normal startup. I tried to use a restore point, but my computer has not been implemented system restore points. Help!

    It could be Aproblematique with the codecs trying to preview the files.

  • Windows Explorer crashes and some actions, such as copying a file, are often dismissed by an error message

    Since I switched to Windows 7 last year (a new computer), I had problem with Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer).  (1) when I try to save a Word document in an existing folder, I get a message that says that I have no authority to modify files at this level.  If I record again, he will save but then IT breaks down (i.e. goes white and the monitor is frozen).  (2) if I open a record in US and right-click on a file, rather than not we'RE going to crash right here - same scenario.

    It happens from time to time but now it happens almost every time I have use US or try to save a file.

    I think I have solved the problem!

    I found a site like the one I had last year.  As a result of his leadership, I did the following:

    1. right click on the Windows Explorer icon.  Right click on properties.  On the shortcut tab, under target, I found this parameter: % windir%\explorer.exe/n, / e, / select c:\users\alf\dropbox

    2. I deleted this setting and by the following cela: c:\users\alf.

    Now, it seems to be functioning normally and WE default to the folder 'alf', where my main data is stored.

    Does make sense?

  • Files voluminous are originally InDesign make Windows 7 Crash and restart

    InDesign performs 7 reception of the data window and crashed when I try to insert images of large file size (Ctrl D)! I have creative cloud... the latest version of InDesign has someone else has experienced this problem.  I get the blue screen of death on Windows 7, then he data dumps and restarts the computer.  I made the window 7 service packs and drivers have been updated. does anyone else have this problem in InDesign?  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    An application cannot bring down the operating system. You have

    something serious.

    A bad driver, or a defective hardware like RAM can cause a blue screen. I ran

    Win 7 upon its release, until what I moved to Win 8. The only blue screen I

    never seen was a catastrophic hard drive crash.

  • Windows Explorer closes and restarts (?) when I right click on a file photo.

    One time, I installed a software to go with a slide scanner. The software changed to the default program for photo files and then proceeds to seize up after that about 12 slides have been scanned. I removed the software, but every time I do a right-click on a file photo, jpeg, gif, bitmap, etc., or try to open the file menu when one is highlighted, close all Windows Explorer Windows and icons in the taskbar and desktop disappear for a while. The last two return after a minute or two, but not all open windows. Other programs such as Internet Explorer or MS Word are not affected.

    I suspect that the defective scanner software installed an entry in the context menu. Search for it and delete it using the ShellExView free program:

  • Guard Windows Explorer to crash and restart on Windows 7

    I use a Dell Vostro V13 laptop. Last night suddenly kept windows Explorer crashing and restarting over and over to the point where I can't do anything. I tried the system restore, but the problem is still there. I can't do anything except the exit ramp of the computer with Ctrl + alt + delete. As soon as the restart my laptop the message back and he stops and restarts over and over again.

    I am only able to send this message in SafeMode where the problem occurs.
    I'm not very computer literate, so would be grateful for a detailed step by step help.
    (One of the reasons could be that I tried to update media player VLC, this accident occurred just after that.) I uninstalled VLC but with no avail, explore it crash)

    It is clear the details of the second error problem is the DivXMFSource.dll:

    Fault Module name: DivXMFSource.dll

    Fault Module Version: 1.0.0.72

    Timestamp of Module error: 4cffcf66

    The DivXMFSource.dll is a component of DivX software.

    Uninstall of DivX software should fix the error.

    You are able to do safe mode?

    If not go to the DivX program folder and right-click the DivXMFSource.dll and rename the extension .dll to .old, IE rename DivXMFSource.dll in DivXMFSource.old.

    Restart the computer in Normal Mode and uninstall DivX.

  • Windows Explorer Crash when using the control panel

    This is the type of an interesting question that happens to me only sporadically and usually only to a cold start.

    When I shut down the computer completely for cleaning or install something, when restarting, open the Control Panel causes Windows Explorer to crash (note that this is not Internet Explorer).

    It restarts immediately, but I lost some of the icons in the taskbar - especially the icon Sound Max.

    If I do a reboot it comes back and I can use the Control Panel normally. Tried to remove items from the start menu, as obviously something is in conflict when it starts but it is like shooting in the dark to find the good start. I even reinstalled W7 with a lot of attention, but it happens once again from time to time. I ran sfc/scannow several times and all is well.

    As long as I don't do a cold reboot it will work very well for weeks without a hitch. (Please no comments about just don't).

    Someone else has a similar problem? My specs are lower and it has not changed when I updated to the latest version of the bios so I suspect something on W7, and I strongly suspect the driver SoundMax which is in fact very old for W7X64.

    All updates are underway, including the latest which was supposed to increase stability for W7 X 64. I had added this update 4/28. An accident 29/4 good. I uninstalled the update and re-installed directly from the microsoft link. Sometimes it works, but not in this case.

    I studied all the information mentioned in the error codes and most of the time, it led to speculation of different people to different causes. I've read that it could be a conflict with the driver Sound Max, this is why I suspect as well that it might involve the Nvidia GPU driver. Changed the GPU driver and no joy. Whenever I have ask W7 to check a solution that is not found. So, it happens once in a while, but there is nothing wrong? At least Microsoft knows something is happening--evidence of the update.
