• My computer crashes and restarts with windows xp but it does not occur with any other OS

  When I use windows XP, 2000, ME, 98 in my computer (Dell latitude D600) it crashes and restarts all of a sudden. But when I installed winodws vista, 7 or ubuntu it will never happen. I thought that the problem could be drivers, so I ran my computer only with windows XP, without installing any driver, but it happens again. I already send my computer to dell and they changed everything in the computer, but I still get the error. What can I do to identify and solve the problem?

• Guard Windows Explorer to crash and restart on Windows 7

  I use a Dell Vostro V13 laptop. Last night suddenly kept windows Explorer crashing and restarting over and over to the point where I can't do anything. I tried the system restore, but the problem is still there. I can't do anything except the exit ramp of the computer with Ctrl + alt + delete. As soon as the restart my laptop the message back and he stops and restarts over and over again.

  I am only able to send this message in SafeMode where the problem occurs.
  I'm not very computer literate, so would be grateful for a detailed step by step help.
  (One of the reasons could be that I tried to update media player VLC, this accident occurred just after that.) I uninstalled VLC but with no avail, explore it crash)

  It is clear the details of the second error problem is the DivXMFSource.dll:

  Fault Module name: DivXMFSource.dll

  Fault Module Version: 1.0.0.72

  Timestamp of Module error: 4cffcf66

  The DivXMFSource.dll is a component of DivX software.

  Uninstall of DivX software should fix the error.

  You are able to do safe mode?

  If not go to the DivX program folder and right-click the DivXMFSource.dll and rename the extension .dll to .old, IE rename DivXMFSource.dll in DivXMFSource.old.

  Restart the computer in Normal Mode and uninstall DivX.

  Here is the location of the DivXMFSource.dll to rename:

  If 64-bit Windows 7:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \DivX\DivX DivX Media Foundation Components\DivXMFSource.dll

  If 32-bit Windows:

  C:\Program DivX DivX and Media Foundation Components\DivXMFSource.dll

  After a hard drive crash, I reinstalled my operating system to windows 7.  However, I think that he is "buried" and unused o my new hard drive.  Instead, it SEEMS that I have windows NT, & a mix of properties in VISTA and 7.  I much prefer to have a real operating system, as opposed to the almost "virtual" NT  However, those who have themselves appointed trustee-directors, left me with little control over my own computer.  I understand that right now I NEED administrators.  I would be grateful however, certain controls - and certainly some understanding- of what is happening with my own computer: like, where to FIND things, OPEN & USE some of my own stuff.  Help!

• Cannot run a few rare games and programs, error: Windows Explorer crashes

  Original title: Explorer Crash!

  I am running windows xp sp3. My explore blocks every minute. The hook of the office and taskbar, but the programs that run on top continues to operate smoothly and even I can work with them. Then I open the Task Manager and end Explorer and it starts again. It works very well for a minute and then it crashes again.
  Now I am unable to run some games and programs. They close automatically when explore crashes. Help, please!

  If I were you, I would uninstall the problematic Windows Desktop Search (you can always reinstall it later), reboot and see how things work.

  Since it is not supposed to fix a system that may be achieved malicious software, I would then scan your system for malware:

  Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time):

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  SAS will probably be a lot that you can just let it remove tracking cookies.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, restart and see how things work.

  Here's how to solve the Explorer Shell Extensions of (these are generic, but still good instructions for troubleshooting):

  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 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 launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths you see everything
  clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be in pink, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move Microsoft column closer to the top (Mount), so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft to sort display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' since they are not Microsoft extensions.

  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 complete your suspect on behalf of adds 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.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  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 disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure 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 extensions that is causing the problem 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.

• Keep SIM city crashing this game ruin my iPad?

  MY iPad freezes when I travel in my game Sim City build. This game ruin the iPad? Why my game crashes constantly?

  It is very likely that the game requires more resources than your ipad a. I have an iPad 2 and it has a tolerance for graphics applications much lower than my mini 4 (somewhat obvious account bound to the difference between the processor and ram)

  Unfortunately, the game can be too much for your iPad.

  You can try to force it to close all apps you don't use of free resources as much as possible for your game. Double-click the home button and scan all unnecessary applications off the screen to close. then simple tap on the home page to exit this mode. Also, I restarted my iPad and iPod older on a daily basis. Press the sleep and home for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver Apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.

• Games crashing in 64 bit 7 Ultimate causing same problems Age of Empires 3 and Company of heroes

  Hello I have recently upgraded to 64-Bit 7 Ultimate and manage with 2 games. The first being Age Of Empires 3 the second being Company of heroes. The games begin and will be launch to between 2 to 15 minutes then crash to the windows desktop. After the accident and live Explorer mail will constantly crash and the icons in the Explorer and live mail are all divided. I thought it was a card problem G so replaced my GTX 280 oc with a Radeon 5850, but exactly the same problem occurs. The only way to remove the crash is to reset the computer and then everything is fine until I try to play a game and it freezes, then I have to reset again to get rid of the Explorer and live mail crashing?

  Bravo for your buddy for help. It seems that everything was linked to my cpu overclocked! I unclocked it and played every game in sucsession with no drama. I then lowered the 200 mhz overclock, and once againg played two games without drama. I have the clock my BE 555 to 3.8 with 4 cores unlocked for over a year and had no probs with XP. It does not seem possible for me it must be a coincidence that when I moved to Win 7 64, like my cpu is no longer this particular serger speed?

• Windows Vista crashes and would not start

  Original title: Vista crashes

  I have a Toshiba Satellite that came with Windows XP pre-installed. After a year of work well, it crashed and wouldn't start up. I used the disc that came with the laptop to repair the utility startup without success. I ended up reinstalling the entire OS so delete all.

  However, it turned out that the operating system that was on the disk was not XP, but actually Vista for businesses. Of course, being Vista, my computer barely working and crashes whenever I use it. In addition, because it's a different OS from what I originally bought my license is invalid and I constantly reminds me that.

  My questions are: can I upgrade the original Windows XP operating system, using the original validation key? or if I want to upgrade to Windows 7, I'll be able to because my current license is not valid?

  Hello

  1. what error message you get on the license?

  2. What is the error you get when the computer crashes?

  3. do you have the genuine product key of Windows Vista or Windows XP?

  You can buy the new product key for Windows 7. If you upgrade to Windows 7, you will get the product key when you purchase Windows 7 operating system.

  If you want to install Windows XP, then this will be a downgrade from Windows Vista and if you install Windows 7 then you can try the steps in the following Microsoft articles.
