multiple instances of internet explore in my task manager

Why are there multiple instances of internet explore in my task manager when I open only one page?

Hello

IE uses smaller instances of itself to support tabs and correction of errors and it is normal for IE8. In fact
It uses far fewer resources as well as the opening of 2 or more instances to access several pages. If you
Open several tabs, and then still more small instances of Internet Explorer will be opened to support these tabs and error correction.

So basically, everything is normal.

    Hi neilanderthal,
     
    -Are you referring to the entries in Internet Explorer in the Task Manager or the task bar?
     
    If you are referring to the Task Manager, a process is for the program and one for the responsible tab.
     
    This has to do with the added tab recovery feature that prevents the entire application to plant based on a single page allowing you to continue to use the other tabs. It is a normal behavior.

  • How will I know if a running Instance of Internet Explorer 10 is 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Hello

    I'm running Windows 8 Pro Upgrade of Windows 7 Ultimate.
    My taskbar to desktop has two icons for Internet Explorer, it is labeled "Internet Explorer", the other is marked "Internet Explorer (64-bit)".
    However, when I check the properties or the other of these two shortcuts, by clicking on the button 'Open file location' takes me to the name and the following path:
    "C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe.
    If I understand correctly, all the executables in the "C:\Program Files" are meant to be executable 64-bit, while all the executables in the folder "C:\Program Files (x 86)" are supposed to be 32-bit executables, so so that it would seem that both of these shortcuts are for 64-bit executables.
    However, when I run Internet Explorer to one of these two shortcuts, by clicking on "help |" About Internet Explorer"gives me a pop-up dialog box that contains the following information:
    Internet Explore 10
    Version 10.0.9200.16384
    Versions of update: RTM (KB2718695)
    Product ID: 00150-20000-00003-AA459
    "Install new versions automatically" is CHECKED
    Copyright (C) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
    There is no mention of "64-bit" in Internet Explorer started from one of the two shortcuts.
    Now, I just tried a little experiment and created two different shortcuts for Internet Explorer on the desktop of Windows 8.
    I called the first of these shortcuts "Internet Explorer (32-bit)", and it's an explicit shortcut to:
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.
    I called the second of these shortcuts "Internet Explorer (64-bit)", and it's an explicit shortcut to:
    «C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe.»
    I then started Internet Explorer from the shortcut of "Internet Explorer (32-bit)", clicked on "help |" About Internet Explorer,"and got a dialog box containing information identical to the above information.
    Then I took out the "32-bit" version, then began "64-bit".  By clicking on "help |" About Internet Explorer,"gave me exactly the same information again, with no mention of '64-bit' anywhere in the dialog box.
    Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior?
    Is this normal, or I found a problem
    ?
    The reason I ask is that my program antivirus tech support site States that the latest version does support not entirely Windows 8 and some of Internet Explorer installed by the antivirus program add-ons don't work with the version of Internet Explorer 10 Windows 8, but others do not, but only in the 32-bit Internet Explorer version not the 64-bit version.
    Is the antivirus program: Kaspersky PURE 2.0 v12.0.2.733, which is a version updated to make it at least partially compatible with Windows 8.  It is noted that a new version, Kaspersky PURE 3.0, updated in order to give all the features of Windows 8, it is not yet ready and should be published at the beginning of 2013.
    Now, I'm having a problem with a particular module of Kaspersky PURE 2.0, which includes an Internet Explorer add-on, and who, according to Kaspersky Support, is supposed to be compatible with the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8.  However, this module does not work, and I need to know what to say Support Kaspersky on my version of Internet Explorer, when the dialog box 'About' is to confuse me information.
    That's why I need to know how to say definitively what version of Internet Explorer is running at any given time.
    Thanks in advance for any help, advice or suggestions.
    Best regards to all,

  • Cannot start Explorer from the Task Manager shell, if another program is already specified as shell.

    Hey people.
    The company that I work uses Windows XP to run some software owners. Our software is configured to run as nt\currentversion\winlogon\ HKLM\microsoft\windows shell shell. I tried setting the shell two our product and random software like messenger or just the C drive, and every time when you use "run" of the Task Manager to open the explorer.exe shell, my documents will be opened instead of other things.
    It will open my documents instead of the shell until I have two close open windows, excluded the Task Manager and set the entrance to Shell back to "Explorer.exe".
    This problem persists between the platforms, and I've tried everything I can think of.
    Any help will be great.

  • Black screen - cannot run Explorer.exe with Task Manager

    Hi guys

    I've been Googling the answer to that for the last day and nothing seemed to work.

    Basically, my portable was working fine until this morning, when I restarted. After the home screen, just a rear screen with the mouse. CTRL ALT DEL and everything still works normally. I can run programs with the Task Manager, but can not run explorer.exe. He returned in the process for about 10 seconds then disappears. I think that it is the cause of the black screen. I tried downloading an own explorer.exe and replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\. My computer it did not as he said I need the permission of the administrator, but of course, I am the Admin so I don't know what that's all.
    I tried to restart in Mode safe and that works very well, still, I can't replace the explorer.exe in the C:\Windows\ because I do not have the administrative authorization. I tried to change it in the Security tab of the properties, or impossible.
    I also tried to update the driver software graphics cards, checked the Shell in the registry value and made sure it's explorer.exe, used the difficulty of black of Pevx screen, used HitmanPro and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to scan and remove malware. I even did a scf/scannow, checked driver C a mistake (which took 3 hours!), let Windows Startup Repair to fix things, tried a system restore but failed. He says that the anti-virus (Sophos) prevented the restoration of the system, so I've temporarily disabled its access scanning on but still unable to restore to a previous (11/01). Program changes that recent such as listed in the system restore is Google + Auto BackUp who came when set Picasa to date there 3 days and a more recent version of Facebook video call I've ever used. I am now running a scan with Sophos, not too promising.
    So yes, I tried everything. I think that now, there are only three options:

    1 somehow replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\ with this new cool explorer.exe, which I downloaded, with the permission of the administrator
    2. try another restore of the system, but I'm sure that nothing will happen, already tried three times.
    3 reinstall Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. It will be a real pain.

    So please help me! I have courses of due on Monday and this portable do not let me what that be done. Thank you!!!

    Please ignore the other my long answer. The problem has now been resolved.

    After trying all kind of scans, drinking and sobbing, I came across TDSS Killer from Kaspersky, who managed to catch a 1 latest unique malicious software (that I was too stupid and really looked hopeless and remember the name of), it cures the problem after reboot. Now, the laptop works well like you wouldn't believe. I'm still confused but way too happy now to care. Thanks a lot for your help nevertheless!
  • How to open multiple instances of Windows Explorer?

  • Re-pin Internet explorer in the taskbar of office

    So, I accidentally this Internet Explorer default marking from the taskbar in Windows 8 desktop.  To try to solve this problem, I have created a new shortcut on my desktop for Internet Explorer and then that pinned to the taskbar, but it behaves differently.  Before all instances of Internet Explorer appears on the taskbar under the original Internet Explorer icon.  Now when I run my new pinned shortcut IE, it generates a second icon of IE on the task bar and each additional launch IE after which translates into a small tab which is drawn on the right edge of the new icon of IE.  Anyone know how to restore the Internet Explorer task pinned original shortened to the bar that installed with Windows 8.

  • Acrobat PDF reader for Internet Explorer may be unloading/neoconservative custom plugin

    Hello

    My question is basically to understand what is happening in this situation, so that I can find out where is the problem and how to solve it.

    We used Acrobat 6.0 SDK to develop our custom plugin. This plugin is basically a wrapper for a few basic tools (note, stamp, text) etc... provided by Acrobat 6.0 SDK. We have also developed a PDFViewer.dll to display the PDF document in Internet Explorer. So when the user load the document on our Web site this PDFViewer loaded with custom plugin and allows the user to these tools.

    We install this plugin under < Acrobat X > /Plug_ins/ < company name > / MyPlugin.API.

    In our website, we give the list of the documents and when the user clicks on a document, it will load the PDFViewer and custom plugin. We are loading Acrobat.exe in advance so that we can load quickly.  Now, the problem occurs when the user open any other PDF in different tab or an instance of Internet explorer. ? How?

    Account for a user of internet Explorer connected to our web site, and then they can see we're going to say 10 documents. 1.PDF, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, etc...

    Now when the user select document 1.pdf we are loading that PDF in IE within our PDFViewer plugin with custom. (Here I saw that behind the scene Acrobat.exe is responsible in the transformed by using the Task Manager) / if right now if the user opens another instance of Internet Explore or another tab and open a PDF document, it opens PDF in the standard Adobe Reader PDF Viewer for Internet Explorer resides in (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX).

    If at this moment, the user goes back to our site and tried to work on 1.pdf our custom plugin works fine, BUT if the user opens another document (say 2.pdf) the card no longer works basically looks like it is not loaded.

    This issue only happens if the user opens a document in another instance tab or internet Explorer and opens PDF which led to open Acrobat Activex for internet explore. If the user opens a PDF document alongside Internet explore it does not create any problem because at that time that ActiveX is not loaded.

    So my guess is that something happens when the ActiveX for PDF is loaded in Internet Explorer.

    I want to know more what is happening and why it's happening. Because of this behavior, the users of our web site cannot use any other web site that opens PDF documents because then they disconnect and reconnect our web site.

    Please we need immediate assistance.

    I'm open to provide more details with screen capture.

    Thank you

    Twinkle

    So you have Acrobat and Reader is installed on the same computer?

    What version of Adobe Acrobat is used?  Which version of Adobe Reader is involved?

    You don't mention what/how your PDFViewer.dll called Acrobat?  Can you comment more about it?

  • Explorer 8 opens multiple instances of rundll32.exe when closing

    When I close Explorer 8, rundll32.exe opens multiple instances and memory in the Task Manager go to more than 800,000 for each instance. After running this ram computer and virtually lock up the computer. If I stop the process, everything works normally until I opens and closes Explorer 8. It is repeatable and consistent.

    I use Vista Business, 4 concerts, Dell Latitude D830. Rundll32.exe have searched and found only one instance... located in C:\Windows\System32. I ran several programs of virus and malware and can't find any problems. Register is also good.

    I had similar problems with changing app crash of video files in a folder list to views of large icons.  I sent a problem report and in return had a fix, I unfortunately deleted after it corrected my problem.   I had to go to the command promp
    and in C:\Windows\System32 I had to modify the command that has been something like the pointed out below.

  • Multiple instances of firefox in the Manager of tasks but FF does not open

    -Windows XP SP3 (updated with all critical updates)
    -FireFox 25.0.1 (Note: originally, I had version 31, but there are a few days that has stopped working)
    -Norton Security Suite (version of comcast) up to date
    -J' have IE6 and Chrome 37 like browsers (Note: FF stopped working, IE8 had also ceased to operate-page would open, only one system process, but the page would never load)

    A ran the following tests:
    -SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
    -Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    -Ad-Aware Antivirus
    -Spybot-S & D Start Center

    Found some non-critical infections still possible (nothing too crazy)
    Symptom persists as follows:
    -cool computer boot
    -Open task (no case of FF) Manager
    -Open firefox - process appears in Task Manager and it goes immediately to 50%
    (Nothing opens and nothing listed in the Applications)
    -Open a second instance of firefox - 2nd process appears in Task Manager
    (still nothing opens and no instance appears in the Applications
    (two instances continue to operate the CPU usage - a 15% and the other running at 35% - at a 50% YTD or both can be executed at 25% each)
    -opening a third instance of firefox
    (still nothing opens, and three bodies show in the Task Manager process and cumulatively race to 50% - example: 15 + 15 + 20 or 10 + 15 + 25)

    Troubleshooting:
    restored a picture disc from may 2014
    -Note: Dec 2013, I had made a complete NEW installation new Windows XP being drafted for EOL and installed all updates, including SP3, so that the image I have chosen to may was 5 months old, but I chose this one because of some other programs I had installed this month and didn't want to go through this again
    (- Note #2: I disk image, make a monthly PQI backup of my C: drive and my drive R :) I have two hard drives 300 G each, while C: drive is OS only and drive a: all my downloads, my documents, my pictures, etc.)

    -After the restored image, I tried to open FF and IE8, neither app was problematic. FF auto update version, I don't know, but it was on 31 when I realized that the problem was BACK. Had a few critical updates to WIN, and IE8 does too!

    uninstalled IE8 (restored to IE6, and now IE work - but obviously I can not live with IE6 - only necessary update!) uninstalled FF31 (and deleted all temp files and the profile of the account) and installed a copy of FF25 Neuve - while I immediately force autoupdater shut down and removed the update files, so I could stay on FF25.

    Now FF25 will only open on the second instance of the process (the first will always be 50% of the CPU, the second will open and run between 0 and 10 CPU and application in the Applications)
    -J' learned that I can kill the process by 50% using the the Task Manager or process explore and total CPU usage will be reduced down to 0% - 10%

    I can open a lot of tabs with no problems and I can right click on a link to open a new window and everything is good, BUT if I use the ICON on the desktop, quick launch ICON or the START > programs > icon, then the NEXT process will increase to 50% and no second window opens

    I've seen dozens of forums that have reported similar memory problems, but none has been resolved.

    Can you help me? I don't want to upgrade from IE6 to IE8 right now, but I won't use it for anything but stable until I can upgrade. Note: in addition to being very slow, I was move to Chrome, but I never liked Chrome... I use FF right now to ask for help.

    Any suggestions?

    I followed donaldmaloney suggestion and it works now. Here's how I did it:
    -uninstalled all instances of N360
    -restarted,
    -remove all the remaining files from the initial installation,
    -restarted again
    -reinstalled N360
    -a ran Live Update several times and restarted
    -repeated Live Update until no more updates to date are available

    And now I can open the IE and FF.
    Save yourself the time, stop working with Norton support staff, but BRAVO to them to understand their product to the root of the problem and they do not include a fix for the problem, but uninstall/reinstall was the only way to allow the difficulty of working. Great work!

  • How can I prevent the shutdown task scheduler engine, get the new display detected to work and avoid receiving the message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop"? __

    My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1520, running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium and Internet Explorer 9.  My extra monitor is a Sharp Aquos LED HD - TV, the model LC-46LE700UN.  I've been using a VGA cable to me onnecter the laptop and TV.

    The laptop seems to operate normally when not connect to the TV.

    As soon as the VGA cable is connected to the laptop (without being connected to the TV), the following message appears:

    'Microsoft Windows - Task Scheduler engine has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found. »

    When initially, I connected the laptop to TV, "new display detected" was automatically acti EV.  Soon, it was activated is no longer automatically.  I was able to activate manually using Windows Mobility Center during automatic activation failed initially but now Windows Mobility Center no longer detects the new view.

    Using Fn + F8, I can view the image on the laptop or TV, but not both simultaneously.

    The message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop" appears intermittently, but I can still make internet sites and show the content after the message.

    I have download software, myp2p.eu, a site for watching TV programs "streaming", including PPStream, Sopcast, Live, Stream Torrent Sina, a Swarm, TVAnts, UUSee, VGO and Veetle player and canceled downloads for PPL (who failed an integrity check), PPMate (corrupted) and (blocked) TVKoo.

    Norton Security quarantined the installer of UUSee, indicating that it was a high risk of program with many users.

    To a computer repair shop and using a different additional display flat screen, I could not duplicate the problems yesterday (4 October 2010), when the "new detected display" has been activated automatically, and I could see the photo or the other and both screens.

    I tried to restore the system to a date (on the list) before when the problems occurred first - failure of the restoration of the system.  I tried to use scandisk, but received no indication that he had performed and corrected all errors found after restarting Windows.  I looked at responses from forum, the display setting and the new display detected support literature.

    How can I avoid these problems?  Help!

    Hello

    Restoring the system end up with any error message?

    This could also happen if one of the substantive programmes is in conflict with the proper functioning of your computer. To troubleshoot error messages and other issues,
    You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Steps-
    1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services.
    If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility
