stuck in an infinite loop to lock the Explorer

This is the biggest problem of vista, that I have had since I started using the new 07

I did accidentally drag a folder and the left edge of the desktop to create a toolbar in the process
I didn't know this feature before and thought it was great... but then I dragged accidentally the same folder in this toolbar, creating a sort of infinite loop. Now explore keeps freezing upwards and restarts every 10 seconds... even after several reboots and safe mode

I say to myself that I could remove this folder on the desktop to solve this problem, but explore crashes as soon as I touch anything on the desktop. Everything else, including firefox, sounds good, but how you can use windows without exploring right?

any help will be appreciated

Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  If you can get in the face of this problem, System Restore should put everything back to normal. You may need to use the floppy start-up or a recovery disc to access this option.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (perhaps from another computer or on the problem if you can get into safe mode with network and it doesn't have the same problem).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    You said it seems sometimes. Eventually, when you play some heavy games and the laptop gets hot?

  • Satellite C660 stuck in an infinite loop of BSOD after upgrade to win 10

    Wow what a disaster, this is a machine under windows 7-32 bit Satellite C660 PSC1GA-01E01M stuck in an infinite loop of BSOD.

    The lappy said that it was ok to upgrade to windows 10 so... Yes, I did.
    Now its stuck in a loop without end of BSOD.

    So I decided to use the recover option and reinstall windows 7 and then move from there.
    After mega downloads updates and finally got to the stage where there was no update on the left to get, so I decided to upgrade to windows 10 even once.

    Now stuck in an endless loop of BSOD again.

    Can someone point me to the driver who is a failure, I can get into SafeMode ok, Device Manager has 2 problems

    (1) is under OTHER DEVICES is an unknown device
    (2) is generic pnp monitor

    I tried from Toshiba Web site for updates of drivers for 32-bit windows 8 thinking this could be the best step but the links are bad and the page Web said sorry loser at home...

    Also no network, if I try to logging for the safe mode with networking, he returned to the screens of BSOD...

    HELP PLEASE

    Toshiba has released a list with all Toshiba models supported for upgrading to Windows 10
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

    Satellite C660 PSC1GA is not in the list, which means that this model is not supported to win 10 and will not get win 10 drivers.

    However the Win 10 must run on this device, because it meets the essential physical requirements.

    I guess the BSOD loop arise due to some drivers which are not entirely compatible Win 10 and probably these drivers must be removed before making the Win 10 update.

    To check the compatibility follow this procedure:

    • Right-click on the icon 'Get Windows 10' (on the right side of the taskbar), then click on "Check the status of your upgrade".
    • In the app to get Windows 10, click on the menu: (3 lines) and then click on "Check your PC.
    • Now you should see the list of compatibility issues

    Also this kind of problem could be fixed by Microsoft update, as mentioned in this article:

  • Laptop stuck in an infinite loop "install".

    My HP laptop acted until tonight while I was using it, so after trying simply to cold restart for a few minutes, I gave up and decided to just refresh everything. However, the preparation part took longer that it was supposed too once again, I did a cold reboot to see if the process would go faster. But now my phone is stuck in an infinite loop where it indicates an unexpected reboot or error happened past that he cannot continue the 'install' and must restart so it can relaunch the 'installation '. However it is done a few times and each time, the same error appears. I tried searching how to solve this problem, but did not see anything and that's the current situation, I can't use it for stuff I need the laptop for. I don't know what to do!

  • Download the file stuck in an infinite loop dialog box

    I tried to download a file (from a reliable source) to install a program. I spoke with the editor, and no one else has had this problem with this link. That's what I did:
    Clicked on the link in the email that was sent
    This brought to the top of the downloads dialog box view.
    He asked if I want to run or save CWSetup.exe.
    I clicked on run
    Which brought up another view downloads dialog.
    He asked me if I want to run or save IEExplore.exe. If I click on one or the other, it brings just downloads to see another who says the same thing.
    Even if I just let it sit there, she just keeps raise dialog boxes of download of view with other program names and I don't know what they are.
    If I try to open a program like Outlook, I get a download dialog box view outlook.exe has (run or save). This happened with most everything that I try to run so I can't do anything at all. Even things in the control panel. He just keeps go into an infinite loop of view download dialog boxes. Most of the icons on my desktop program are now just the Internet Explorer icons and not the pictures they were.
    My computer had no problem until the moment where I clicked on run in the download file dialog box. It's now like any .exe I try to execute triggers the download for ip dialog box.
    So I can't do anything because I can't run Outlook or Explorer or most any other program. some run. I use my iPad to email because my computer is now completely useless.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Given that the problem persists, you must follow the manual steps described in the article to change the registry settings.

    When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

    Important: The article mentioned above also contains to change the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    For more information, see the article:

    Back up the registry

  • Satellite U840 PSU4SA stuck in an infinite loop of Boot

    I really hope someone can help me.

    My wife's cell phone is stuck in a boot loop which is continuous.

    When you press the power button, the Toshiba logo appears, and then it goes to the screen of the BIOS with the following information;

    "The operating system has not stopped cleanly.
    Reconstructiong Metadata Cache.
    Please do not interrupt this process.

    Reading packaged metadata in memory... Fact.
    Processing the record Delta... 1 "

    .. .and then it dies, returns to the Toshiba logo and repeats. Ad nauseam.

    I tried to start in safe mode by pressing Fn + F12, nothing helps. I took the base of the laptop to try to remove the battery but I am no expert of PC hardware, and I didn't ruin it.

    All specifications are; Toshiba Satellite U840
    Part No. PSU4SA - 015005
    Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.

    I have Linux Mint, installed on a USB key. I would like to boot from USB (no CD/DVD-RW in this ultrabook) to retrieve the data if possible.

    Should I remove the SSD and HARD drive? I have read a few forums who say that often have Windows 7 on the SSD can cause this problem.

    Hello

    Try this workaround:
    Power of the device and press F8 key up
    Now the advanced boot menu should appear where you can choose between different options.
    I recommend you try the option last good known configuration.
    If this does not work, try the option: my computer repair.
    Here, choose the first option above.

    Of course start from the live Linux USB flash memory stick would allow you to get access to data and back up important files.

    Order of installation:

    2 .net framework 1.1, then...
    3 .net framework 1.1 SP1

    If it's only .NET Framework 3.5, then use the tool to remove it and use Windows Update as a guide for the resettlement of the .NET Framework 3.5 and updates.

  • Firefox broke Gmail and now stuck in an infinite loop

    Firefox tells me that Gmail is not approved. In addition, I click on "I understand the risk to add an exception and he tells me that the certificate is valid, so I can't add an exception, then it sends me to the page"the site is unreliable".»

    The only thing that changes is that my laptop comes back from repair (I kept the HD). Everything else is fine.

    I tried the advice in other articles about the clear cache, delete cookies.sqlite and all without result.

    Another thing, maybe in a relationship, my ISP has done some major repairs on "International connections" and the Mozilla site also came with a certificate of caution as well. It was also discussed on my phone. Yet, strangely, Gmail works fine on my phone.

    Hello world

    I hope to explain clearly what is my (BIG) problem with my x120e.

    Yesterday, I noticed a strange behavior on my bios. I tried to make some changes for example. Switching fn with ctrl key, which allows the charger usb, or AMD - V technology. With f10, I saved and restarted the computer. CTRL-FN keys has not changed. I went into the bios and I saw that nothing has been recorded. I repeated the process, without success. Without stops could be made. As I turned off the computer.

    After a few minutes, I wanted to turn on the computer, but here's the big problem. The computer does not start. After pressing the power button / computer starts (I hear the fan noise and light on the green power button) but, after 6 seconds, without reach the bios logo, it restarts and it will indefinitely until I stopped him keep the power button.

    What I tried after searching the forums was:

    1. remove the battery, keeping the power for 60 years (and 30) button pressed seconds. Re-connect battery. NOTHING

    2. I removed the system memory, put back them. You try to start. NOTHING

    The netbook is 1 month old. It's very frustrating.

    Can someone help me with this? I live in Albania, no here Lenovo support center.

  • Stuck on the infinite loop of auto repair

    Hi guys,.

    Ive had a problem with my computer. I have the alienware aurora r4 and have and issue with blue screen and auto repair mode.

    The real problem is really the mode of auto repair. What happened is that when I did a windows update it ended to give me a bluescreen during loging screen when I start the computer. After 3 restart put me in auto repair infinit loop and since then I can't get out, not even will lauch and im safe mode don't really know what to do.

    There is no problem of harware, I run the ePSA to confirm this. but the main reason is that it is the second time this has happened to me. the first time windows upated this month he did the samething, but I would get blue screen after login. How to solve this problem the first time, is that I restore my system to a certain date, when I didn't have this problem. After this, I turn off the windows upadte until I get more information one why its done 2 days ago, it is accidentally turn on by my antivirus or maybe accidentally by me.

    Now it is stuck on this infinite loop for auto repair and I can't do a system files because it must be done in safe mode, or need to disable launch beginning of antivirus (not exacly how his writings sound penultimate option aloong SafeMode in windows 8.1)

    What I have to do is stop mode auto repair, so that I can operate either in safe mode or disable the antivirus at the beginning so that I can restore my computer to a day where it was working fine. The computer has access to the command prompt, so any code that can disable or ask the system that he has never mistake might help.

    There is a file that I really need to recover from this computer and also need to use this machine. Any help is appreciated

    Thank you
