• Everyone has a problem with the Windows Explorer permanently closing?

  * Original title: Windows Explorer

  Everyone knows about a problem with the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) without interruption closing? It is not fair on 1 computer, I have 2 desktops and 2 laptops, and it does on 4 of them. They are all running Windows 7, (1 to the publishing house, 1A Ultimate and 2 Professional).  I can right click on something, even on the desktop, and most of the time, I get a message that Windows Explorer has stopped and the ability to close or wait for it to respond. I have normally not 30 minutes or more to wait so that he could respond and if I close it, then it does nothing. I've done all updates are recommended for all my computers, I did the defragmentation, disk check, etc and it still continues. I need help, please. I am so sick and tired of what I am about to go to a Mac and I don't like Mac computers, but said there is much less of a problem.

  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.

  It works for the other connections on this machine.  So, with the worries of shrinking to s/o the origin of the problem,

  I saved my files and re-created a new account.  The new account works fine, so I deleted the old account.

  I really don't know why this has happened given I have not installed the brand new s/w recently.

• 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!

  (Related screenshot below...)

  

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

• 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 does not and sound problems

  I'm running Vista (home edition) on a laptop and I'm having problems with my windows Explorer. The other day it was working fine and I have updated to service pack 2, after he installed my computer went crazy! My exporer windows keeps "not responding" and whenever he "closed the program" my office went nuts it shows not all of the icons (on my desktop) until I raised the Task Manager and the taskbar kept resetting itself to I don't know what. I would go in the taskbar properties and sometimes he let me check the power, network and sound icons and sometimes it would be grey so I could not. I uninstalled the update and it seems to work very well a bit, windows Explorer still fails sometimes well. What is really bugging me, is that a previous update messed with my sound, so sometimes I have to go into the Device Manager and disable then enable the sound to get it back (the driver is up-to-date). But sometimes the Explorer is not responding so I feel like I'm going in circles! The other problem is that after installing service pack 2 is my computer guard with "unexpected cases" and it still occurs even after uninstalling service pack 2. Does anyone have any ideas what the hell is happening? I ran all my software, adware, spyware viruses and everything else so I know that my computer is clean. It is service pack 2 or is it my computer? Also, I have an idea of what I'm doing, so I'm not a complete fool. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I don't have my 5 cups of coffee yet this morning.

• 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.

• Display folder size in Windows Explorer

  I try to get the size of the folder to display in the details pane in Windows Explorer (on Vista).  When I had Windows XP (Professional edition), it would appear that there, but not with Vista.  Under XP I could just click on a folder and the size of the folder would be in the details pane, but Vista does not do that.  (The only downside was that the size of subfolders was not included here, that the size of individual files in this folder; but just expand the folder in the navigation and then clicking on each subfolder, I might understand this.)  I'll be leaving my office soon and want to have an idea of the size of the files I want to carry around with me (and how many CD, I might have need - can use keys USB memory on the system of Government) when I go.  I looked through Windows help, but I can't find the answer to this question.  Anyone?

  Right-click on the folder and click Properties and it will show you the number of files, the number of cases, the sizes of these each and other details.  You can also hover your mouse on the file and it will show the tooltips which include the EIS (but not so much information as properties).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

Explorer hangs up as soon as I try to do something with this file, I can't even remove it. I got out the folder other files in desktop and using research and move the file, but when I try to do something with this file, Explorer crashes again.

  No video file in the folder, the file problem seemed to be a Java update file. I managed to remove using an third-party uninstall program, and the problem seems to have disappeared. My best guess is that the update program has been altered during the download.

• Windows explorer.exe stops and restarts allot

  I use windows vista 32 bit home premium service pack one. I would like to know if there are any solutions for my problem by blocking windows explorer.exe dive down and reboot... I scanned the computer with macffe and test a hard drive and it says its fine but I still get the error what can that do?

  Hello

  Treat him as a bluescreen to start with - check the event viewer and use the tool Nirsoft below to see if it
  are the error codes. Do the SFC and CheckDisk drivers check. Next message will be a few methods for
  check startup programs and however they must be made to ensure that they are not the cause of service or
  contribute to the problem. Even if Eventviewer or points of Nirsoft tool you still have somewhere to CFS,
  CheckDisk and drivers.

  Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on these reboots.

  Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the info from the blue screen that would be
  Help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And any other information such as STOP error
  codes and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

  As examples:

  BCCode: 116
  BCP1: 87BC9510
  BCP2: 8C013D80
  BCP3: 00000000
  BCP4: 00000002

  or in this format:

  Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
  Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000

  It is an excellent tool for displaying the blue screen error information
