  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• PC counters each attempt to fix/repair and finally, the loop to stop/restart windows Explorer.

  So beyond, I'm done with this laptop. He started by run me windows update and the awakening of a BSOD. Now browse those tedious threads, I know that the next thing people want are the dumpfiles. Well, you cannot make them because it won't create dumpfiles. I checked everywhere for them and double-checked to make sure that when I got bsod it is correctly configured to do. It will not create them. So ok, the next thing people say is running scandisk Sfc. Nope, BSOD in the course. Chkdsk? Nope, BSOD. during the. This laptop has a coherent dpc latency problem where every 10-13 seconds it stings really high, distorting the audio. I tried to disable drivers, update drivers, pulling on the battery, and it won't go away. To * with it I say, I can deal with that, besides there is probably a hardware problem, it's an old inspiron 5040. The greatest success in fixing something comes sfc running in safe mode with cmd prompt. He got to 100% and has absolutely nothing more. All this stems from the windows updates failed. But this latest issue is the water drop. Before the windows explore stopped working/restart loop, which prevents me from running damn near all executable on ANY startup mode, I was getting semi-fonctionnalites off safe mode with network. I was inside my damndest to try to solve the problems without paying a penny for the repair (because it's my operating system from windows to the 3rd address I got incredibly frustrated with questions and I'm NOT GOING to sink more money into the purchase/solve this *) but after a month of countless BSOD and failed system restore (BSOD on those too) I decided to say the * with it , it can still be used for browsing with chrome at least, since I found a way to activate the sounds of the internet registry. I had used it for about a month and realized that internet Explorer was causing in fact a kind of conflicts, because all applications requiring an i.e worked incorrectly, display of white windows resources that need to be pulled with knowledge then I tried to reinstall that is and makes the mistake of restarting, forget the automatic Windows Update. Well, I is none of that with this time and tried to turn off the pc before it started with nothing else than a glorified blue screening method. To restart, I got "windows is the restoration of changes", another reboot, then a "Welcome" I get started in the regular office, (not safe mode or anything like that) and he gives me a small white window with "custom settings" on it and literally nothing else. No toolbar, no desktop shortcuts. Wait a few seconds and I get "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and the option to close the window. safemodes boot loop to stop/restart windows Explorer and I can't do anything appear the Task Manager which is pretty useless, because I can't really do anything here except close programs that are not accessible in the first place. Safe mode only I can enter is the one with the command prompt. I don't really know what else to do. Quite happy to take a hammer and break the laptop for parts. There are so many problems with this thing, I doubt that someone will be able to help in any way especially withouth minidumps the BSOD. But if there is something simple that I'm missing for at least the minimum functionality that I was getting out of it until windows update in ruins me, feel free to try to solve the problems. The code the most common bsod I get is 0xf4. I put my money on half of the problem with the hard drive itself and the rest of the question was any other defective hardware. But ill be doomed if I buy another harddrive just to have more questions.

  Hello

  This is mainly caused by an incompatible Shell Extension.

  You can download this reg from my SkyDrive file:

  http://CID-128fc518635be2dc.SkyDrive.live.com/self.aspx/.public/Ms%20Foren/registry/WER%5E_Explorer.reg

  and double click on the file to import. If you are unable to do this, run regedit.exe and import the registry file here!

  When the Windows Explorer crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service [1] creates a dmp under C:\Localdumps. Please download the file to your public Skydrive folder [2] and post the link here. I take a look at the discharge with the debugger, maybe that I can see what Shell extension is the cause.

• Keeps restarting Windows Explorer in Windows 7.

  Original title: Why keep restarting my windows Explorer in windows 7

  It happens whenever I try to browse something using windows Explorer. I have tried almost suggestions in previous discussions of those who have already faced this problem. I tried the steps mentioned as log on in safe mode and try to disable the third-party software, but they have all failed to resolve my problem. I also tried to stick the explorer.exe in the system32 folder as suggested and failed or the other. I use Windows 7 Home Premium on ASUS a43s. Are there updates available from microsoft to resolve this problem?

  Hi Cikcumie,

  Thanks for the reply.

  Error: Windows Explorer has stopped working
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911

  Note:
  1) data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  2) after the boot minimum troubleshooting step, read the sections "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  3) when you do the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  4) an upgrade on the spot is the final solution before you have to reinstall the operating system. Note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

  Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

  Hello

  You should be clear that the topic says that you want to install Windows Explorer and in the detail part you mention on Internet Explorer. Explorer Windows and Internet Explorer are two different thing!  in any case if you have lost your IE desktop icon, you can do this:
  1. Right click on the desktop and then click Properties.
  2. On the desktop tab, click Customize Desktop.
  3. Under desktop icons, click to select the check boxes of the icons to display.
  4. Click OK twice

  You can even get the IE icon in the start menu, on the left hand side above.

  If none of these help then:

  Open C: drive (or drive windows). Go to Program Files > Internet Explorer > there you will get the IE. create a desktop shortcut of it.

• How to get Windows Explorer to pin to the taskbar

  Problem:

  When I right click on Windows Explorer to get pinned and there is no element entrance does forr it pin to the taskbar OR the StartMenu , like most of the other applications in the my system.

  I was able to do on my system to my office, so I know that this is possible.  I got it made the pinned the system now have the problem, that is up to the Microsoft has eliminated the last fixes on Saturday 21 September 12 game that wacked my entire task bar, bar side and scrogged many other aspects of my system!

  I really hope that they actually only has finally fixed the leak of security IE forever with this patch as they promised and not just Fubar-ing of many systems to give the appearance of shutter makes the run with more than one finger! (but that too can depend on which finger gets referenced as I can think that a my system seems to have understood).

  That being said, let's start by skipping the usual diatribe of suggestions of neophytes who Parrot just what is on both boards, blogs and other forums with what I remember, try to address my situation:

  • I tried to drag links "Windows Explorer" and shortened to Windows Explorer to get the fallen on the toolbar.  No go!
  • I tried all the suggestions of registry to Windows Explorer PIN to the taskbar. No go!
  • I searched the registry for any key with PIN or NOPIN on their behalf and found Nothing. Although the PIN search revealed several keys and values with pin drowned in (e.g.ping stri"," myPINing "", Snapine","OfficeVBAHelpinetlHiddenIntl_1033", nausea etc. to height of 3114 hits ad).

  But know the FUBAR occurred, does anyone have the best ideas on how to fix the problem with Windows Explorer so that I can once again pin it to my task bar and maybe my StartMenu too?

  Use search programs and files "windows explorer". When you right click on the link that there it will give you options to pin the taskbar icon or the start menu.

• Why Adobe Creative Cloud restart windows Explorer when it is upgraded?

  Every time there is an upgrade of the application Adobe Creative Cloud (not individual apps) it still restarts my process from windows explore. I would probably not so angry, but there are applications unrelated to 1 or 2 that have the tray icons that disappear if I kill the process explore and restart (what does CC update).

  The goal is to have download and install creative tools like Photoshop and Illustrator be as seemless as possible. In order to allow a 1-click Download & install from the browser of any of the Office applications in the cloud of Creative, the browser must recognize a specific Protocol in the URL and launch Manager appropriate for this Protocol. To do this, the browser needs a plugin installed.

  Some browsers will detect the new installation of a plugin and load correctly without having to restart the browser. Some need page reload. Some require the restart of the browser (which is where I think that IE land).

  In addition, we have crossed a number of bugs in the area over the last two months where IE has a lock on some errors installation resources and local causes for VAC. restarting the browser eliminates these errors.

  All that being said, he's clearly work that we must do to improve the workflow of updating CCA - both in terms of reliability and user experience. It's a high priority work for the ACC team right now and you should regularly expect improvements in the coming months. I do not expect stop us resarting IE anytime in the near future well that, for the reasons explained above.

  Thank you

• How to stop Windows Explorer 8 refusing to download Firefox? It is said that it is an illegal action

  I have a new to me 2008 computer Dell laptop running Explorer8 for Windows XP (SP3). I'm trying to download Firefox, that we use in all our other computers as Navigator, and it refuses to download the files, saying: this is an illegal action, and he throws me offline. How to neutralize Explorer8, who apparently is not ready to die in peace, download Firefox, then change to Firefox as default browser without a collapse of the laptop?

  There are no on the screen long enough to write. "An illegal action", it is said, and one or 2 other words flash before he disappeared and then my computer goes dead (or should I say it stops dead) and must restart. I find a disc to load Firefox while offline, so it's ready and waiting to pounce on Explorer8 when I go online, instead of the other way around.
