Immediately after installing IE9 Windows Explorer crashes - Vista SP2

Since windows Explorer crashes I can't update windows to uninstall or recovery allows to go back to a restore point.  I don't have a system disk in Vista, just an image of recovery from Dell.  Reinstalls don't go and try to install IE8 also would not go.  I turned off the IsInstalled Wick in the registry (for IE9) but that didn't help either.

Good advice - unfortunately I couldn't even restore the system in safe mode.  Since I am about to install Win 7 in any case, I just went ahead and did.  Workaround went well.

  • Windows Explorer Crash Vista

    I know there are other threads that are similar, but they are not quite the same problem and I did not have luck with them.

    When I start it, I get a windows explore has stopped working, windows Explorer restarts loop.  I can't open anything because windows Explorer restarts and closes everything that I try to open.  I tried the system restore and the safe mode, no luck.  I am running Vista Home Premium on an HP laptop.  Any ideas?

    Hi wx2dzug,

    Thanks for posting your question.

    You are able to start the computer in safe mode?

    This problem can also occur if you have installed a third party or sometimes when you have not updated to the application installed on the computer.

    You can read the following article:

  • Windows Explorer crashes on Asus after uninstalling the game files.

    A couple of days, I uninstalled the games that came with my Asus U36S laptop and after that my Windows Explorer began to crash and restart - and recovery system does not work for some reason any.

    At first I thought it was a coincidence, so I tried to understand what could be the problem. I checked the third-party applications, virus, malware, tried clean restarts, restart in safe mode and so on and so forth. But the problem persists.

    After all the discussions Forum I could find on the situation through, I finally noticed that someone else had the same problem and solved it in re - install game files (OT here, final note: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-home-premium-corrupted-file-pintlgbimd/f39e62df-aaf0-4bfd-adbd-cd8e874a5297?page=2).

    Now, I'd love to do that too - but I have no idea how to do to get your hands on these game files. I don't have an installation CD (my laptop did not come with a CD-rom) and I don't even remember the names of the games that I uninstalled.

    Can someone help me with this? I would be eternally grateful!

    PS: I tried to call Asus about this, but they were less than helpful...

    A couple of things by looking at the Event Viewer logs.

    The ASUSWSShellExt64.dll was originally explore crash like this recently connected recurrent error:

    The failing application name: explorer.exe, version: 6.1.7601.17567, time stamp: 0x4d672ee4
    The failed module name: ASUSWSShellExt64.dll, version: 1.1.0.27, time stamp: 0x4c7f631

    In addition, Chrome is crashing because of the iDeviceEx.dll like this recently connected recurrent error:

    Name of the failing application: chrome.exe, version: 32.0.1700.107, time stamp: 0x52ed6c62
    Name of the failed module: iDeviceEx.dll_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4cde567f

    The information that you have posted on the grip, the location of the iDeviceEx.dll is as follows:

    LoadedModule [148] =C:\Program Files (x 86) \iMacsoft\iPod to PC Transfer\iDeviceEx.dll

    Can you try to go to the \iMacsoft\iPod C:\Program Files (x 86) to PC file transfer and right-click the iDeviceEx.dll and the iDeviceEx.dll and rename it to iDeviceEx.old

    Log off and reconnect again, and then restart Chrome and see if the same problem of hanging occurs.

  • Windows Explorer crashes failed msvcr90.dll

    Friends

    I have this most annoying problem. It happens on my computer and the computer of a friend. I have Vista Pro 64 bit and my friend a Windows 7 Home Premium, also 64-bit.

    We both use the same two programs for a specific project, we want to do. A program is a data management program called FieldWorks, where export us the data in the format of LibreOffice. I think that this problem started during the installation of LibreOffice and then begins to export stuff in the program of FieldWorks.

    Very often, when we click on an exported file in .odt (LibreOffice) on the desktop, or simply click anywhere in a folder on the desktop, where we store .odt files, then immediately the Windows Explorer crashes with the following error message:

    Explorer Windows has stopped working. Windows can check online... Check online... The details of the problem are:

    Problem signature: problem event name: BEX64 Application name: the Explorer.EXE Application Version: 6.0.6002.18005 timestamp of the Application: 49e02a1e fault Module name: MSVCR90.dll fault Module Version: 9.0.30729.6161 fault Module Timestamp: 4dace4e7 Exception offset: Code of Exception 00000000000552d 4: c0000417 data exception: 0000000000000000 OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.256.6 locale ID: 1033 additional information 1: complementary 46e0 2 information: information additional 4ce498f1e2ebb3719af008d4ef97bedc 3 : 7 d 05 additional information 4: 729ac305dabb24e28fbe99019ecbbab7
    Also my friend and I get the exact same message and the same fault Module name and version. It can happen several times in a row, insofar as we cannot get to any of the .odt files in the folder via the Windows Eplorer window or desktop, but I got a remove the .odt file in a command window.  Otherwise just Explorer to crash. :-(

    I tried many things to fix this, among them:
    1. I re-entered the msvcr90.dll
    2. I learned that it is the program of MS Visual C++ 2008 that installs this msvcr90.dll and use it
    3. I removed all instances of MS Visual CC ++ Vista computer
    4. I removed all instances of the msvcr90.dll and restarted. Then I made sure that no file with this name has appeared again.
    5. even after that I still get this crash explore with this error message about this being the fault module msvcr90.dll!
    6. I used Windows find defective or missing files, sfc scannow. No gain.

    How this possible error, if there is no msvcr90.dll is left on the system? And no Visual C++ 2008?

    I then tried to reinstall MS Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable to see if that helped, but once again no change. :-( The same error came once again. This version of Visual C++ have not yet installed a version of msvcr90.dll but a msvrc100_XXX.dll

    Until I deleted the MS Visual C++ 2008 (and 2005 and 2010) of my system, I noticed that the existing msvcr90.dll was not even the same version that says that this error report is the version of the Module of fault!

    I am quite at a loss here. What can I do to solve this problem, which is annoying and time consuming? I could send one .odt files, someone at Microsoft to look at, or what?

    Thank you
    Calle2012

    The problem seems to be the shlxthdl_x64.dll:

    WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for shlxthdl_x64.dll

    Probably caused by: msvcr90.dll (msvcr90 invalid_parameter + 70)

    The shlxthdl_x64.dll, which is at version 3.6.1.2, is a component of LibreOffice.

    The error that you are experiencing seems to be a known issue:

    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52078

    This problem can be fixed in an update of LibreOffice, so make sure you're running the latest version.

    If you are running the latest version of LibreOffice or if the error persists you can try the following:

    Go to the following folder:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \LibreOffice 3.6\program\shlxthdl

    In this folder, right-click and rename the shlxthdl_x64.dll to shlxthdl_x64.old.

  • Windows Explorer crashes constantly on the new Asus

    I bought a new X53SV-SX288V Asus with windows 7 64 bit on it and after installing some programs Windows Explorer crashes constantly for some reason any...

    I have restored the pc to factory a couple of times now, hoping it might fix the problem, but it is persistent...

    Windows Explorer crashes often and sometimes it seems that the problem has disappeared, but then it happens randomly. When I restart the Explorer usually just, it freezes again and gives me the same error permanently after each restart of Explorer... it just crashes, restarts, block immediately, restart and so on...

    I don't know what to do. I'm not much of a geek...

    The thing is, the problem occurs only after you have installed programs. Not directly after the time I restore settings, is probably not a hardware problem (I think).

    Still, I installed an antivirus before anything else.
    First of all, I tried Comodo several times. Then Avira. And now I'm with AVG. Thus, all the programs I download should be good.

    Side note: programs Evernote who install are all widely used programs like CCleaner, Skype, iTunes, Chrome,... All of their own websites, so I do not understand how they are the problem.

    Is it possible that this is a problem material, even when the problem occurs only after you have installed (well known) programs?

    Just to follow up on the post of madtor.

    The shell extension which seems to be the cause of the accident is the ASUSWSShellExt64.dll:

    Fault Module name: ASUSWSShellExt64.dll

    Fault Module Version: 1.1.0.27

    The ASUSWSShellExt64.dll appears to be from ASUS WebStorage software.

    The same problem has been reported in the following link:

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

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
    on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
    strange problems).

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    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.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    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.

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
    programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
    first.

  • Media players and windows Explorer crash

    Hello

    Recently I got this problem where my windows Explorer crashed whenever I opened Control Panel, specifically, whenever I tried to view the system information. I tried a few "solutions" that I saw on the internet nothing has worked so far - this all started about 2 months ago, when I tried to update my graphic drivers.

    Then a few days ago I was watching movies with my laptop and I fell asleep while the film was presented, my laptop is not plugged the battery flat overnight. When I woke up and return the laptop computer he would play no matter what video file with any of my media players (Windows Media Player, GOM or VLC) - when I try to open the video file, it simply says that GOM/VLC/WM has stopped working, then closes.

    Important notes:

    -I am able to watch movies if I boot in safe mode (there is simply no sound.)

    -I can also go in control panel - system of information if I boot in safe mode.

    -I am running windows 7 (with the latest updates)

    -J' use a pavilion dv6.

    -All music files open with media players, the problem is just video files.

    I suspect it's a graphics related question, but I'm not sure. It works as it should when it is in safe mode, but I don't know how to say what is causing the problem.

    Many thanks for any help :)

    Hi Mithrandir,

    I found the problem!

    I updated the graphics driver and that seemed to do the trick - the players videos play in all media and is not any control panel crash or media players.

    The only problem I have now is that after the backlight driver update does not work (although it is a driver issue it seems that many people have had) - I was wondering if you know if it is possible to reinstall the previous driver (not just go back to it, but have in fact all this re installed because I think there's maybe a corrupt file or something like that which was causing the) problem)

    So, as I thought it was the graphics driver that caused the outcome...

  • 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.

    Issues that this update fixes this update improves the stability and reliability of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 in various scenarios. This update addresses the following issues:

    • Windows Explorer crashes and then restarts when you access a third-party Control Panel item.

    This update solves the problem?

    and double click on the file to import.

    When Explorer crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service creates a dmp under C:\Localdumps . Please download the file to your public Skydrive folder and post the link here. I take to the dump, maybe I can see the cause.

    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.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

     

    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.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    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.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • my windows Explorer crashes on startup

    First of all, I have a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7, he made a few updates as a couple of days, and now in the last two days, my windows explored hangs just for no reason, usually right start, before I even do at all, I even had several times manually just turned off the computer all together, all the world knows what he is It had not done before yesterday

    Hi Corey Guthrie.

    I see that windows Explorer crashes on startup. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. what security software is installed on the computer?

    2. are you able to boot to desktop screen?

    Method 1.

    If you are able to boot to the desktop screen, you can try a system restore and check.

    System Restore: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/system-restore

    Important: System Restore will return all system files not as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system. If it was your intention with this tool to recover a deleted file to non-system, try using a file instead of system restore recovery program.

    Method 2.

    If you are unable to boot to the desktop, and then follow these steps.

    Step 1.

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if that helps.

    Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    If you are able to start the computer in safe mode, you can restore the system to safe mode.

    Once you are able to get to the screen and the computer still restarts, then you can perform these steps.

    Step 2.

    A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3 of article start normal to start.

     

    Step 3.

    You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

    Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

    Step 4.

    I suggest that you can exercise SFC scan and check if that helps. The SFC/SCANNOW command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    For more information how to make SFC / scan, please follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Try these steps and let us know the status.
