• Media Center 2005 crashed I loaded Windows XP sp2. Installing XP cannot load explorer.exe and another dll file... Need help or information on how to request recovery of microsoft disk MC2005... Gateway has not.

  Help please... I have a gateway gt4024 designed with Media Center 2005. Recently, the system was not "acting accordingly so I tried to reload the OS." I realized that I didn't have the recovery disc, then I decided to load XP Professional I had on it. The law on the computer is as it has been installed correctly and then I get a message saying explorer.exe could not be loaded properly or the drive perhaps is corupted and the same message to another .dll file. Once completed, I can reboot and use the computer, but then the windows installer will not work and the drivers are still present on the hard drive. Now, I loaded the new operating system before and I know that pilots are not supposed to be always present on the system. I then put a new hardrive has had the same problem. So, I then took the hardrive and placed in another computer that was be a dell and load xp fine without error. Can someone point me in the right direction. I contacted gateway to another Media Center recoverydisk, but they said because the computer was no longer under warranty, that they did not have the specified disc and to contact Microsoft. A link would be useful.

  BizzyBidnez,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  Here is a link to the replacement of media information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246
  However, since the entrance to the bridge of your system, the product key may not work with a replacement non - OEM drive.  I'm surprised that the bridge was not able to provide a replacement drive.

• Explorer.exe does not work correctly.

  Hello everyone.

  My name is George Sebros and I have a Toshiba Satellite A300.
  The reason why I post this new topic, it is that I need a little help from someone who knows something about my above problem:
  One day, about 2 months ago... I turn on my Satellite A300.
  When he connected, not only none of my icons appeared but also the start menu does not...
  The only thing that appeared in a screen totally BLACK, has been my folder "Documents and Settings" which opened automatically.
  There was no way I could find neither the start menu (I mean the taskbar), or my icons...
  So, whenever I close the Documents and Settings folder that had appeared, the only thing I could see was a black screen...
  It was a kind of shock to me and I couldn't believe my eyes...

  After a few days, I tried the well-known combination "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" to see what was working and what was not.
  Then I pressed the 'FILE', then 'NEW TASK' and finally, I typed the word 'explorer' in there.
  That's all! Suddenly, all turn to normal like the day before the problem started. I was happy with it, I could use my Satellite A300 again!
  However, it is an indirect way to do my work PC!
  This means that I'm still fain to use this indirect way to make the icons and the taskbar appears.
  This means that the 'explorer.exe' does not work?
  Many programs registry I use notify me on some HKY... files that contain DATA NON. I have to let you know that the explorer.exe is located in the (empty) folders.
  It indicates that transplant programs that I use, point out the problem I have?
  Can someone help me?

  I don't want to use the safe option of FORMATTING (also known as the FORMAT).
  Thanks in advance,
  George A. Sebros

  Hello

  Seems that your Vista is confused upward
  You can try to clean the registry and operating system in order to avoid the new installation of the OS.
  Please use the CCLeaner.

  I use this tool as well for free and it cleans the registry and other files at the time.
  It really helps!

  But if the BONE still does not work properly then you should try a new installation
  Of course, this procedure is radically because the HARD disk should be formatted, but on the other hand, you will get a clean and functional BONE

• Equium A60: I get the error message using explorer.exe

  Whenever I try to open an image file using paint or Fax/Image viewer, or I try to drag a file to a folder, I get the following error message:

  "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience ".

  The error report says:

  "ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 000847a 6.

  Also I can't open Web pages that open in a new window, IE. Norton Internet Security 2005 also does not open, but has claimed to be active in the background.

  Does anyone have advice for me?

  I tried all the help for explorer.exe on helpwithwindows.com problems but nothing suggested worked - as spyware, malaware removal. I ran a few controls on-line virus - given that Norton does not work I have tried the scans online.

  The laptop was bought last year, and we have lost the recovery CD - so if we need them, then where we can get replacements?

  Thank you very much

  Jonathan

  HI Jonathan,.

  It seems to me that if your OS has been corrupted, and I would recommend that you re-install. You can get the replacement of any Toshiba authorized Service partner recovery CD. You can get a list of the asp from the Toshiba web site.

  I also have error of Application Explorer.exe the Instruction "0x7c911689" referenced memory at "0 x 04180000", the memory could not be 'read' click OK to terminate the program, click CANCEL to debug the program

  Good.

  Not sure what it is yet, but you know what it is not.

  I don't know what to think of your permissions problem, but if records are read-only and not meant to be, are you not able to change the folder properties and what happens when you try to do?

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the column header for Microsoft sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are on top and easy to see.

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.
  You can Google something like:

  Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on.)

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, and then restart and try again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also just disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find an extension that caused the error, and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

• Explorer.exe error of Application the Instruction at "0x715ba067" referenced memory at "0x715ba067". Memory could not be "written".

  Hi... I get this every time I try to open a specific application in my system. Could you please suggest how we can avoid this error message. Thank you.

  Hi dieng,.

  To provide the proper resolution, I would need more information on your side.

  1. What is the name of the application?

  2. were you able to open the application before?

  This problem may occur because of corrupted system files, or if the latest Service Pack is not installed.

  Method 1:
  I suggest you to refer to the article and try the procedure described in the article. Check if it helps.

  Explorer.exe may generate an application error when you close a folder
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/329692

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest that you run SFC [System File Checker] scan on the computer.

  SFC scan will scan system files corrupted on your computer.

• How to fix explorer.exe from constant grave failure?

  AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512 ModName: unknown<><  is="" the="" error="" code="" it="" gives.="" it="" crashes="" when="" usually="" when="" i="" try="" to="" open="" or="" rename="" a="" file="" with="" a="" long="" name,="" or="" there="" are="" files="" with="" long="" names="" in="" the="" folder. ="" running="" xp="" sp3="" on="" a="" dell="" dimension="">

  First, you must run some respectable malware scanners to try to reduce the risk of malware infection.

  Secondly, you should tell us about your system.

  Thirdly, if the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) crashes when you right-click on a file or folder, the problem usually happens as a shell extension for Explorer that you added some third-party programs or an extension of the Explorer shell that could be added without your knowledge.

  Explorer shell extensions make up right click menu when you right-click things (such as open, rename, etc) and there are a lot of extensions to explore afflicted that can cause an accident.  I hope you're able to repeat this crash when you want by doing something that you do.  If you can do explore crash when you want, it is usually easy to understand the problem.

  You don't describe symptoms suggestive of a need to run the System File Checker, but of course, you can if you wish, but note that if you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable with the same Service Pack as your installed Service (most people don't), the System File Checker will complain - much.

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a quick scan (not at the same time) with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Since the implementation of the Microsoft Answers forum does not ask for any kind of information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  Now the fun part:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

• Explorer.exe error, Normaliz.dll is missing

  When I try to start my computer, I get the above error. I get the same when starting in safe mode. The only thing that works is the Task Manager. No desktop icon just a white screen. Where should I start

  In Task Manager, you can click file, hold down the CTRL key, and click New task and that opens a command prompt (or the boot safe mode with command prompt).

  If you have your copy of normaliz.dll on a USB key which is the D drive (for example), and XP is installed on your C drive, you can then type in something like this:

  Copy d:\normaliz.dll c:\windows\system32

  When the copying is completed successfully, you will see a message like:

  1 file (s) copied

  You can always do since if Task Manager:

  If you see a message like this:

  Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  It is in the case Log:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Application Popup
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 26
  Description:

  Application popup: Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  Start explorer.exe, but the normaliz.dll file.  If explorer.exe is not able to run, you will not be able to do much with your system until the replacement of normaliz.dll.

  You can click OK for errors and finished up in the Task Manager where you can try to fix it.  The message can keep popping up from time to time, while you're fixing it, so just click OK to close the message.

  If normaliz.dll is missing, you can copy it from a working system to the system afflicted with the same version of XP and Internet Explorer.

  You will get a good copy and put it on a floppy disk, thumb drive etc and copy it to your system plagued by using Manager tasks.

  The normaliz.dll file must be located in the c:\windows\system32 folder and therefore is not a Windows file protected, making the Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts' suggest running sfc/scannow, which is just another one of their prosecution of wild goose that will not work, he'll never work and it will only waste your time (and they don't tell you how to run either - if explorer.exe does not start).

  Then engaged Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts' will offer to you develop a copy of the file from the XP installation CD you probably haven't, but it is also not on your XP installation CD, and you will have the same problem try their suggestions to 'try' to start in any any Mode without failure, so this will not help you.  These "experts" seem to think that the Safe Mode boot or boot will replace magically missing files, but it doesn't.

  You also will be able to properly run a browser on the system afflicted to go on Internet download one.

  There is a large computer security risk in the normaliz.dll from some website download.  The best idea is to get a copy of normaliz.dll from another computer that has the same version of XP and IE and replace it from a USB device (which you can access from the Manager tasks), or using a system that works, you can download one of my SkyDrive.

  You can still use the Task Manager to run the system restore and bring it back, but I've never tried and never use SR in all cases.

  If you have recently done a bunch of Microsoft updates, you may have also gotten IE8 so maybe that something was wrong here although the normaliz.dll is the same for each version.

  When you see the error, you can click beyond it and eventually arrived at your screen background image where you can press CTRL-ALT-DEL to start Task Manager. TM, you can click file, new task, Browse and edit the menu drop-down "Files of type" to all files that you can see all the files in folders.

  Go to c:\windows\system32 to see if normaliz.dll is really missing. If the error appears again while browsing, just click OK to get past it.  The explorer.exe tries to run and cannot until the missing file is replaced.

  If it's the only thing missing, you can get one from a working system of the same type as yours, copy on a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and always using TM, to browse, copy and paste it where it should be or you can download one of my SkyDrive.

  TM, you can still access your thumb or any other medium the same disk by navigating, copy, paste, etc very well all work.  You use TM to navigate to your thumb or floppy disk, copy the normaliz.dll good and then paste it in the c:\windows\system32 folder, where it is supposed to be.

  If things get worse, just return to TM and remove the file back where you were in first place and continue troubleshooting.

  Using a system that works, you can also download a copy of the file from my SkyDrive and put it on a floppy or USB thumbdrive and networks diskettes for the distressed system.  Sandalenet means wear you the system afflicted by hand.

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\System32

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called normaliz when the name of the file should really be called normaliz.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

• Explorer.exe freezes when Windows XP starts. Programs do not run but clickable.

  Start Windows XP.
  Click on I want to open an account.

  Windows desktop with icons appears.

  Start a hourglass when scrolling on her menu.
  Frozen, you won't fix.

  The Task Manager, end Explorer.exe
  Run Explorer.exe
  Freezes again but clickable for 2 seconds.

  All icons on the desktop clickable and says they are running but does not actually open.

  PC works fine in SafeMode w / networking.

  Help please,
  PC Professional, accounting files needed!
  SOS!

  The fact that your system works well in Safe Mode (w / network) indicates that a program run as part of your startup that causes this condition.  Safe mode is nothing else than Windows running with a bare minimum of programs and processes required to start your system (that is, all non-essential is cut off).

  This problem will be a proposal of chance.  You need start your computer Safe Mode and run a configuration manager (msconfig or autoruns) and disable programs that run automatically at startup, until you find the (s) which is causing your problem in a selective way.  First turn off non-Microsoft and programs that extend if necessary MS programs.  These programs will warn you generally if you try to disable something you shouldn't.  After you turn off some of them, you restart normally and see if the problem persists.  Once you find the program/process disturbed, the procedure is usually obvious as to the difficulty (usually UN-installing then re - install)

• Explorer.exe and svchost.exe using too much memory

  I have disabled the automatic updates after the last round of updates, and now, all of a sudden, explorer.exe and svchost.exe use too much memory... enough to interfere with other programs, I try to use.

  Help?

  Windows XP Professional - Svc Pack 3 processor: Intel (r) Pentium (r) D CPU 2.80GHz CPU speed: 2.73 GHz memory: 512 MB

  Why you turn off automatic updates?

  There are between the two options. I just set it to notify. When it is practical, I go to the Microsoft Update slte and use the custom (not Express) option. This gives the user full control of the update of trial.

  You will have a better idea of the cause of the problem using Process Explorer.

  Download Process Explorer.
  For more information about Process Explorer, see here:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

  With svchost.exe provide us a list of services using the process. There are number of processes that are using svchost.exe, so we need to know that we provide more targeted assistance. Right click on the process, click on properties and look at the Services tab.

  Solution Explorer. exe has a number of subprocesses. Select the sub-process, click Properties and check the Services tab.

  Have you recently changed all types of starting any service. This often leads to the problem. Users often disable a reflection of service to speed up the system performance. In practice what is done is of one or several programs to malfunction.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

  Hello

  I inadvertly solves the problem by changing my default from iTunes media player to Media Player.

• No start menu, icons... Explorer.exe problem... can't fix it somehow, it seems! :/

  I tried to reset my computer to make it faster... backed up all the files. went to put the CD in but not implemented the menu came when I rebooted? so I watched that I needed to uninstall SP3 cos the CD was service Pack1, so I did, it went well. While the CD is still working so I found that I now had service pack 2, I was able to remove easier with "run" in service pack 3 then I uninstalled the 2 files I found on a website. Restarted then went 2 log on my account and now the error of normalidz.dll rises... I can obviously get on Task Manager, which I tried to launch explorer.exe but he just said that he could not be found. I tried to restore to the last known good configuration and safe mode and there has been no luck there. :/ so yes... any guy of ideas? Please, I beg you! ? :(je tiens que le CD travaillerait maintenant mais nope.) any help would be grateful! Thanks :)

  I found another solution on another site that suggested I have the file normalitz.dll get off my other computer and copy it to C: > Windows > System32 which solved the problem.

  Thanks for your help :) and I hope this can help others.
