  Hello
  • What were the changes made before the issue occur?
   
  Verify that if the problem exists in Mode safe mode with networking, if the computer works as expected in mode safe mode with networking, and then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.
  a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222
   
  b. it is a possibility that there is a startup program that is launched with a command line and it appears.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

  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, 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.

  Kind regards

• Problems related to Windows Explorer in Vista

  Since I had to do a clean install, I had problems in Windows Explorer.  Whenever I try to click with the right button on the display window elements, especially if I'm trying to delete or move, Explorer stops and restarts, making me try to redo what I was doing.  She also does it sometimes when I select the menu bar.

  I ran sfc/scannow from the command prompt, and he comes back and tells me that some files were corrupted and not repaired.  I tried to look in the newspaper for the problems, but I get a window "access denied."  I run as administrator when I do that.  I used my windows disk and tried the repair function on the files of it.  That did not fix it.

  The only message I could see is this message from the link to report problems in the Panel:

  Any ideas on how to fix?  It becomes very irritating and makes getting whatever it is in fact a problem.

  I might suggest to capture an image of user mode of the accident which has the potential to identify the cause.

  You can configure Windows to create dumps of user mode. First, create a System Restore Point.

  If you copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save it as a .reg file (save with the .reg extension and give it a name like explorerdump.reg) then right click on the .reg file and select "Merge" to add to the registry, when the .dmp file explorer.exe plant should be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe]
  "DumpFolder" = hex (2): 43, 00, 3A, 00, 5 c 00, 43, 00, 72, 00, 61, 00, 73, 00, 68, 00, 44, 00, 75,.
  00, 6 D, 00, 70, 00, 73, 00, 00, 00
  
  
  After Explorer (explorer.exe) crashes, you can, and then make the .dmp file available (provide the link) via a public folder on OneDrive or similar site.

  Here are a few links on the use of OneDrive (SkyDrive):

• Problem: Acrobat DC: Windows Explorer: right-click right/convert to...: "..." problem sending the command... »

  Is anyone having problems using Windows Explorer to 2015 of TCS in the process of a PDF file?

  I use TC 2015 on a box of Win 7 64 bit with 32 GB of RAM.

  My workflow includes the use of shortcuts in Windows Explorer to create the FM files from PDF files / or "Convert to Adobe PDF" or "convert to Adobe PDF and send".

  Use either of these commands in Windows Explorer results in the error "There was a problem sends the command to the program", "program" being apparently two FrameMaker 2015 and/or DC Acrobat (or Adobe PDF/Adobe Acrobat Distiller DC).

  FrameMaker begins as it should, and the file is loaded as it should, but apparently when FM called Acrobat, it cannot start as it should.

  I am a week off for a critical period of an internal workflow document discussing this exact feature.

  If anyone knows the answer, it would be of GREAT interest to me...

  Thank you!

  I have confirmed (by test test facilities) that this feature is broken. I will record a bug this morning.

• Windows Explorer stops working after that I have to use Windows Update

  Currently, using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit service pack 1. After that I restarted the computer to finish the update/install Windows I can't use the functions from the Start button. Any attempt also runs programs through the Task Manager is met even uselessness. I gives me the error that Windows Explorer has stopped working and restarts. However, all program shortcuts that I have on the desktop can be used.

  The only way to solve the problem for me is to use the system restore to take me to a previous time when I didn't have the problem. However if I try to update by using windows update I experience the problem again.

  Im trying to download update is Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 64

  Hi Josh, I had the same problem with Windows Explorer on a HP Vista Home Edition 64-bit computer, it would keep restart loop and stops also all the programs in the taskbar.

  I searched different forums and I tried different options, but nothing worked until someone said it might be a virus. I have Norton but it does not detect anything, so I tried Defender of Windows (that I had turned off because I had Norton) of Windows Defender found this startup program called mwau.exe to rest under C:\recycler\(random numbers...) but when I open the C: drive, I couldn't find anything manually, but there is no option to delete or disable it through Windows Defender.

  Then I Googled that name and found a software called free Antivirus "Malwarebytes anti-malware 1.41 ' recommended by CNET download.com, it's a small program, but I downloaded and ran, it found and removed this mwau.exe, I have not had problems with Windows Explorer after that, apparently mwau.exe means (I think) auto update for Microsoft Windows.» But after its removal, I have more problems. My updates of Windows runs as usual and I get new updates as usual, but this muau.exe was probably evil viruses do.

  Here is the download free link http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
  In addition, when you click on download the exe file name is mbam-setup

  Good luck. See you soon.
