Satellite A200-TH7 - Windows Explorer not responding

At random times (normally when I wake the PC) and I click on the volume control in the taskbar, nothing appears.
Then I'll go to move the physical volume control cursor and nothing will happen.

However, at this time, I'll try to click anywhere on the taskbar, but it freezes and says "Windows Explorer is not responding" and I have to restart the program. Once doing so, volume control isn't even on the taskbar. And if I slide the physical volume slider, Explorer crashes once more.

I have Vista and its a Satellite A200-TH7.

I have the volume on mute so I literally can't hear anything now.
If I restart the computer, it'll work, but this problem occurs frequently.

Hello

In my view, this has nothing to do with the volume control on the task bar.
In my opinion, there is a problem with the Explorer of Windows Vista.

Usually, you can enable and disable the mute settings in Control Panel-> Sound-> reading tab.

You are able to reach these settings?

  • 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.

    Pilots may also need to be updated:

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
    Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Accidentally deleted Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)

    Looking for a way to download or restore of Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).

    First of all, in response to the first question below on the race "explore c: /" when I did that, the local directory c: came. Should I do something more about it? I still hope to restore Windows Explorer.

    What you have proven this response is that Windows Explorer is still there and still doesn't work as it should for any aspect you gave (although again, just the startup and power use Windows, see your desktop, etc turns works in Windows Explorer.)  What I'm saying is that there is nothing to 'restore' in have you seen/shown so far.  You have a Windows Explorer.

    If there is something specific, you can say is missing, maybe we can help.

    Hello, I have a toshiba satellite A200 - 23K.
    I just installed Windows 7, all drivers support drivers toshiba and all the updates of microsoft windows, including the suport of 32 GB SD flash cards memory.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    But in the Device Manager there is a witch of the element named "mass storage controller" has not been installed (which would be the SD card reader), but I didn't know any driver for "Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller" and installed the VISTA driver instead. Now, the look of the device is fine in Device Manager, but he only read a normal SD card, and when I insert a SDHC 4GB it came to nothing. In windows XP / vista and linux (fedora / ubuntu) there is no problem with SDHC (4GB and 8 GB Kingmax SDHC class 6).

    I would very much apreciate in advance if someone will make a driver for the card reader (I use it pretty mutch for photos).

    Hey Buddy,

    I think the problem is the Vista driver expired that doesn t work 100% correctly on Windows 7

    As much as I know Satellite A300, which supports Windows 7, is also equipped with Texas Instruments card reader, or at least the pilot is also from the same company with respect to the Satellite A200.

    In your case, I would try this driver, I hope it works! :)

    There are so many different drives, I tried, but no one has changed the situation...
    Anyone has any advice?

    Thanks in advance,

    ciroopi

    Well, I found the solution to the problem! :)

    so, I write these verses down for anyone who might know the same problems:

    as usual, strictly follow the 'Toshiba A200 Installation sequence' found on the TOshiba driver download page.
    as he [I jumped no useful installation programs]

    I advice restart you each time you install a component, in order to have under control the whole Exchange.

    1 Windows XP Service Pack2 (RTM) - of course ;) -.
    [...]
    DirectX V9.0c 5 (SP2)
    Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.4036 6
    [...]
    10 Microsoft .NET Framework V1.1.4322 (SR1)

    12 Intel ICH8M Chipset utility V8.2.0.1014
    13 Intel VGA driver 6.14.10.4833 965GM

    Note that driver VGA, the ATI we too, was also a difficulty - in fact, I don't know what it would have done - for the AUDIO sound card.
    You may have read in the installation dialog box.

    Moreover, I do not know if you must install the sun java, .NET framework and WMP version that displays the list, versions that are OLDER than the most recent, but just to be sure, download the form versions THAT NET.

    at this point, you should see "unknown PCI device" in the unknown devices in the system control panel.

    14 Realtek ALC268 Audio Driver V5.10.0.5433

    for realtek, I suggest you download the driver from the zip from the realtek download page; Once extracted from the latest version for desktop or a temp directory, I suggest to install before all the patch KB888111 you might find in the \WDM_Rxxx\MSHDQFE.

    then restart.

    for now, you should not see the "unknown PCI device" no more where it was before, but under the "system devices", like her, where you could also end the "Intel PCI Express Root Port", "Pci Bus" and so on [ja? m saying this to you because ja? m Italian aid of XP, and I don't remember the exact English names...].

    Now, install the audio drivers by using the setup.exe that you find in the \WDM_Rxxx directory.
    It should reinstall the kbfix and install the new drivers.

    Reset.

    After the reboot, nothing happens, but...

    .. see the "unknown pci device" menu - here? m not sure the name but the one with the exclamation mark in the 'system devices' - select 'Properties' and then 'driver' and 'update driver'. Let XP find the NOT on the net. tell XP to look for "Video and Audio Controller, game" [you know, the English entry that usually stands for device audio and similar] and he must find a CORRESPONDING driver, which is the "MICROSOFT UAA BUS DRIVER for HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO".
    If XP don't select this driver by itself, you should look for "\windows\system32\DRIVERS\hdaudbus.sys".

    After that, XP automatically detects ALL audio devices and install the correct drivers.
    In addition, it now the entrance to the modem, modem to install the separate driver, that we could find in down in the "list system", like her, on the Toshiba download page.

    So, hope this helps!

    See you soon,.
