  • DEP closing Windows Explorer in windows XP error

    My computer is running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2. I get "Windows Explorer has been closed in error DEP". System seems usually hangs at this point and after some time, comes back with a "recovered from a serious error message" how to solve this? Is it "compatible DEP" copy of the Windows Explorer pane? It occurs once after I have start the system. After it passes by him once, it seems to do very well.

    First of all, it would be good to know why you didn't have not upgraded your system to Service Pack 3, which is more than 3.5 years.  SP3 contains many updates and security patches applied, can relieve your system of this affection.

    Check out the fixes in SP3 here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946480

    Is not not wanting to work on Service Packs with obsolete systems (given that the question may have already been fixed with the SP3 update), I'll give you some general information on troubleshooting the errors of the DEP in Windows Explorer.

    First try to reduce the risk of a malware infection by doing this:

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

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and only then to solve the remaining problems.

    If you have DEP errors, it will be useful to see if you can reproduce the error on request.

    DEP in Windows Explorer errors appear generally when click with the right button on folders or files and try to perform an action in the list right click for options.  If you can reproduce at will, then when you perform an adjustment, if you no longer see the error DEP, you will know that you have thought about it.

    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 at a time), 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 behave, you will know that an extension of this group of 3-5 is the culprit in order to 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.

    Don't forget - disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled so you can always turn it on again.

    Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test 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.

  • Recovery disks won't be finished reinstalling attract the Windows recovery error

    I have a HP pc only to return some malware a few weeks. Tried to remove it and restart got the Startup Repair. Who ran, but received a message that the problem could not be resolved automatically. Tried several times but without success.

    Then I tried the system restore, which seemed to work. It should restart the process and I got a screen that says Windows Recovery error. Gave me a few options but also safe mode start Windows normally. If so start normally, just screen becomes black and hangs there. I tried in safe mode, a list of drivers starts, then stops at crcdisk.sys and I get a box that says that I can't get into safe mode because Windows has not finished the installation.

    Then I tried the HP recovery disks to restore the factory settings. Crossed reinstall it without problems and clicked on Finish to reboot and continue. It goes through the process some, restarts a few times and the final reboot immediately comes the same Windows error recovery screen. I tried several times and made sure the only cool things are the monitor, the keyboard, the mouse and the cord. I also tried to remove one of the memory two sticks and the sound card that is not the original. Memory sticks are original.

    I thought it was the failure of hard drive and bought a new one last nite and was installed. Ran the recovery disks appeared once again, as he worked but got the same error Windows Recovery screen after a reboot.

    Any ideas of what I can do? I can't go in safe mode at all.

    Thank you!

    Edit - I forgot to mention that I have managed to get into the manufacturers menu and delete the original hard drive and tried to do the reinstall, but got the same error.

    Fixed it got! Found the answer in another thread here. It's a problem witht Nvidia Geforce card I have and the DVI output. Think an update or something hit malware but all I had to do was remove the video card, plug a VGA instead of DVI cable and I was able to complete reinstall it! Everything works except the sound now. Trying to get that fixed and reinstall the video card later today.

  • Windows Recovery error screen: cannot get my computer to start!

    After using my computer for a long period of time, I set it down for a few hours. When I put it up again, the screen was blank and I couldn't get out of hibernation. I manually turned off and restarted. Reboot, I had the Windows recovery error screen, where I was given the opportunity to 'launch Startup Repair' or 'start windows normally '. At the launch of the repair, the screen empties for a few seconds and returns to the error page. When you try to start windows normally, the system rebooted and returned to the error page. I did nothing durastic which would result in this error. Windows was preinstalled and came with any disks. How can I fix my computer and recover my files? My computer is a laptop Gateway MD.

    Have you tried from disk running of all of the above programs.  Of course, some of them managed from the disk as the Startup Repair and system restore.  Others such as SFC and chkdsk or event viewer can be run from the disk by using the command line option (and instructions above on orders to enter).

    Startup Repair and system restore has nothing to help?  Try these other options from the command prompt on the drive if you can't even in Mode safe (which is not a good sign).

  • Windows 10 suddenly returned to Windows 7, then could not start

    Hello

    I ask this question on behalf of the client that I am helping with his computer.

    I have yet to his computer to check his story, which is very undetailed and wave, but I was hoping there is some information out there to specify what can be the cause and the solution.

    I installed Windows 10 (with a few problems because of an incompatible program) successfully somewhere in December.

    More than two weeks later, the customer reports that his computer has been restored to Windows 7, without his intervention.

    A few days later, the customer reports the computer now refusing to start at all, apparently stuck in a sort of "System Restore" (indicating errors to cause of which he cannot start) and which shows no signs of progress, even after loading of so-called whole day.

    Of course, the event beforehand is quite strange. Since when the operating system downgrade itself automatically?

    This has occurred within the period of 30 days in which Windows can indeed be restored to Windows 7, but I don't think that in the choice of the user in the settings.

    • Y at - it no information as to how this could happen and remedy?
    • Is the previous installation of Windows 10 possible cause to this problem?

    I support the latter is highly unlikely, because it is unlikely that the activities I did on his computer of lead a problem more than two weeks later the success of use, and that a cause can be determined from just this event.

    My client submits it must be, because it uses the computer for everyday tasks.

    Thanks in advance for any information provided,

    Isaiah van Hunen

    Hi Isaiah,

    Thanks for posting in the community.

    We understand your concerns and we will help you solve the problem.

    According to the information that you provide, it is unlikely that the operating system has returned to Windows 7 on its own, there are a few changes that took place leading up to the OS to roll back.

    If the installation of Windows 10 has failed, it would have restored to the previous operating system installation and not after two weeks.

    To narrow down the cause of the problem, I would like you to provide the information below:

    1. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    2 did you receive error messages when the computer restored to the previous operating system?

    As you have said that the system restored to the previous operating system, and is in a State that won't start plu. I suggest that you try to restore the system from the Restore page of the system the system is currently blocked in. If you are unable to solve the problem, I suggest that you insert a previous operating system bootable DVD and try to retrieve the comp uter.

    Hope this information helps.

  • KB2952664 fails in windows update, error code 80242016

    October 14, 2014 Windows updates had 15 recommended Important updates including KB2952664.  WU appeared to run correctly, but when you restart found 14 updates installed successfully and KB2952664 failed with the error code 80242016 (usually means that another installation is run - WU was the only application running).  I have reviewed historical WU and noted that this same KB has been updated 15/08/2014.  Reopened WU and returned played Check for Updates with nothing.  Because it was already installed, should I reinstall the KB, since it is not or there is nothing to worry?  Thanks for the help.

    Problem solved: 15/10/2014.

    Line at the bottom is that a previous version of this KB is probably already installed on your machine Win7 and if you want to update to the new version, you have to let fail, then uninstall, reboot, run WU check updates and reinstall the KB.  The alternative is to uninstall the last version - it only one - and remove the maintenance package KB.  This KB update facilitates the process of upgrading to later versions of Windows, and there will probably be additional versions in the future.

    I hope this helps and a big thank you to all those responding on two poles.

    I had the same problem installing updates on a Windows 7 Home Premium platform. All other updates have shown that it is installed successfully, with the exception of KB2952664. Another post on this subject, a fix was given to which I did successfully.

    Panel\Programs control & Features\View updates installed (selection of left column), right click on KB2952664, select uninstall, close Control Panel. Return to Windows Update and look for the updates. KB2952664 is displayed, run the update in my case, it is then installed successfully.
