Is problem with Windows Explorer (not Internet Expl.) - possible to reinstall this software or update?

I have several problems which, after some time, can be attributed to a problem with the Windows Explorer (not: Internet Explorer)

Examples:

-files are not finished (so that they remain in a queue forever) (this happens every time)

-When I try to replace a file from one directory to another this process is at a standstill (occurring rarely)

-When I shut down, I get a message that trying explore but unable to play the fine tune (sometimes)

-in Word, I get printer messages not responded or other problems with opening files-Word (sometimes).

Remarkable (?): boot in normal mode is always successful, even after the crash on shutdown.

Question:

-is it possible to reinstall this software or update?

- or something is needed to get a solution?

Hi Niels,

1. When did you start to question?

2 did you recent hardware or changes to the software of the system?

Method 1:

Step 1:

You can check if the problem occurs in safe mode.

Start your computer in safe mode

Step 2:

If you are not faced with the question in safe mode, then you can try to perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

In addition, after you fix the problem, you can see step 7 above to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.

Method 2:

If you are faced with the question in safe mode, you can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

Check your hard drive for errors

Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  • Accidentally deleted Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)

    Looking for a way to download or restore of Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).

    First of all, in response to the first question below on the race "explore c: /" when I did that, the local directory c: came. Should I do something more about it? I still hope to restore Windows Explorer.

    What you have proven this response is that Windows Explorer is still there and still doesn't work as it should for any aspect you gave (although again, just the startup and power use Windows, see your desktop, etc turns works in Windows Explorer.)  What I'm saying is that there is nothing to 'restore' in have you seen/shown so far.  You have a Windows Explorer.

    If there is something specific, you can say is missing, maybe we can help.

  • Problem with Windows Explorer and the recorded files

    When I save files from the internet and then open the folder with Windows Explorer in the backed up files, I find that WE consider not save them on my hard drive "change" more. I know it's strange, but I tend to retain files roughly in the order that I saved them, rather than by the name of the file or anything else. So now to manually change the files in a certain way, then save them to get them organized as I want. Of course, this can become very painful and long if I have a lot of files to organize this way. My question is: How can I get Windows to consider saving a file on my HDD as change? I use Firefox and updated recently, which may be the cause of the problem.

    Hi Flingle,

    Were you able to save and access files correctly before you update Firefox?

    You can create a new folder & try to download the file inside of Internet Explorer & check if the problem persists.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

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

    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.

  • Problems with Windows Explorer and files?

    FYI, I'm running 7 64 x SP1, I have Avast! antivirus and malwarebytes and CCleaner and aswMBR rootkit scanner.

    Yesterday, I left my computer while doing research for a bite to eat and I came back and this error box titled "CScript.exe" Application error "and in the box, he said that the program could not start and press OK to close the program. It was the first time I saw this error, so I clicked on OK and didn't think much, until I went to research and decided to run a full on Avast scan and no viruses were found, so I decided to use malwarebytes to check and when I went to open it (it is in my Start menu... don't use it very often) he wouldn't run and all of a sudden I had this error as Explorer windows stopped working, he was checking for a solution, and it restarted itself. I thought it was weird, so I tried to run windows Defender got the exact same result - Defender would not and open windows Explorer stopped and restarted itself. I'm so gone to CCleaner (which surprisingly open upwards) to see if my registry was somehow screwed up, analyses to find errors and there was none. I checked the programs installed through CCleaner to see if maybe there is a program that appears as if by magic, and it was not all. So I ran my rootkit scanner and it wasn't rootkits but I saved the log file on my desktop and it does not open. Does not open the Task Manager, command prompt does not open, the center of the action does not open... nothing beneficial opens. While doing all this, the error "CScript.exe" jumped to the top about 3 or 4 times just randomly. I don't know what happened to the drive that is used to repair/reinstall windows, so it's a little out of the question. I considered to start Windows in safe mode and backup on a restore point, but have not yet tried. Any suggestions?

    Good, well * seems * after booting in normal mode, the problem is resolved. exp works normally now, but let's see whether it is temporary or not.

What are the main differences > is Windows 7 contains IE and other software as well?

    The tech shared my office and tried to uninstall IE 7 and 8 butcould not completely uninstall. It also reset my settings to the origianl settings, still no luck. The messaging service is hotmail and my wife also has a msn.com address, and none of us can email unless I have disable all add-ons. How can I solve this problem? How can I find out who the module blocked sending emails?

    Well, again, how take you your contact with the tech support person?  In other words, how do you know he worked for Microsoft?

    What default values have been reset?

    What happens when you try to use Hotmail or MSN?

    * It was an attempt to uninstall IE 8 which has failed.  How it failed? Do you remember any error message?

    * Apparently, the attempt to uninstall IE 8 was successful enough to reveal IE 7.  Then, there was an attempt to uninstall IE 7 that has failed. How it failed? Do you remember any error message?

    * What version of IE is now active?

    Assuming that the answer to the previous question is IE 8, you can selectively disable the modules by going to tools > manage add-ons.  If IE 8 running in mode no. Add on solves the problem, I suggest from IE 8 in normal mode and systematically disabling the modules until you find the culprit.

    Alternatively, you can start a new thread in the forum Internet Explorer .  Include your version of Windows XP, including the service pack and the version of Internet Explorer you are using.  You should also explain exactly what is happening when you try to send an email.  If an error message appears, he quotes completely, without paraphrasing.  I suggest that you use a more descriptive title, such as "cannot use Hotmail with IE 8.  In the body, do not forget to explainwhy "do not use Hotmail."

  • Problems with WINDOWS EXPLORER, can be removed and then re-installed, if yes how?

    Explorer Windows is funky, I have several questions that are difficult to explain. He has just started acting funny last week, it's almost as if he works on his own! Help, please!

    Hello Donald,.

    Explorer is an integral part of Windows, and you cannot uninstall it. To answer your concerns however, I wonder if you have a malware or virus infection? To check these I recommend the following:

    Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.

    SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.

    Most run name you use as an antivirus (I use Avast: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html).

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

Depending on the type of game you will need to reinstall each game - this may mean to download again MSN. If they are browser based games simply to go to the MSN Web page for the game in the usual way.

    If instead of MSN games, you actually mean that games built into Windows 7 as Chess Titans, Spider Solitaire & FreeCell, then you can just turn them on by using the following method:

    [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

    [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

    [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

    A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

    A2. Yes.

    A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

    A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

    I think that it all depends on WebDAV.  Any ideas on how to fix it please? I've been through Art 287402 without success.
    The main difference between the two XP machines (outside the Home and Pro) is that the Pro machine still has installed Office97 Pro while the Home machine has Office 2010 Pro installed. Both machines have Explorer 8 is installed even though Chrome is used both as a browser.
    Thank you
