Vista icons in windows Explorer refreshes every minute or so, how fix?

Every minute or so icons start refreshing in Explorer. I tried increasing the icon hidden in the registry, the removal of "IconChache.db", all to nothing is (apart from reinstalling my OS). Whenever the icons updated performance decreases significantly. I ran antivirus (Avast free with Microsoft Security Essentials) scans, everything came without any problem. On another note, Explorer sometimes crashes when opening an image.

  • You can change the icons in Windows Explorer?

    I read some other Q & A on this topic. I never realized that an icon was so important. Anyway, nobody has asked this question specific (it seems), so: you can change the icons in Windows Explorer? I don't use the desktop icons.

    The easiest way is to use 3rd party as IconPackager software.

  • Windows Explorer crashes every 2 Minutes like clockwork

    Hello

    A quick Google search, it seems a lot of people have this problem, but with a few differences.
    My problem is that for these last two days, Windows Explorer has started crashing, almost like clockwork, almost every 2 minutes or more (as confirmed its reliability). I tried everything I know to find the problem, but came to nothing.
    Here are my specs:
    Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
    Intel Core 2 Duo PC TG5750 @ 2.00GHZ
    RAM: 2.0 GB
    I tried to run Windows Update to see if that would help, but it's not download anything. It just happens to 0KB and 0% and nothing happens. Naturally, when Windows Explorer hangs, it must update Windows with it.
    I ran a few system cleared my startup speed performance, but nothing else. He does not come back on other potential failures.
    I looked at doing a system restore, but it says that there is no restore point. I created one, but this is obviously useless as the restore point is now in the scenario where Windows Explorer crashes.
    I can still run programs like Outlook or Google Chrome, but Windows Explorer plant, yet no matter what I do. I have installed all the programs in the last two days so I'm really at a loss as to what is happening.
    I also restarted my computer several times, to no effect.
    Other that completely re install Windows using the installation disc, I don't know.

  • Is it possible to expand the text and icons in Windows Explorer without changing its framework or my screen resolution?

    I started meeting with eyestrain from prolonged use of the computer.  Of course, I must simply reduce screen time, but may not reduce significantly again. During this time, I set it on a few minor visual adjustments that might be more favorable to the eye to me.  A change would be to increase the size of the text and folder icons in my field of Windows Explorer. I tried to achieve this expansion by increasing my overall screen resolution, but that change has become cumbersome and actually greater stress perspective.  Is it possible that I can change the size of text and icon from the Windows Explorer, without giving up its current location (details) and without affecting the size of anything else (for example, my office)?

    I know that my investigation is not in the urgent category, but I would be grateful for all the advice. (Well, almost everything...?)

    Thank you now also.

    No do not trust them - it's a widespread scam underway.  They want to ask you to install support software (usually decent software, like Team Viewer, that legitimate companies use to provide assistance), but then they use it to implant viruses. Or, more often, they open an arbitrary log file, claim this means that you have a virus, and they will help you conveniently 'fix' for a fair cost.

    No one will ever 'cold call' offer to help you with your PC.

    Hi NuCarCarrier,
     
    The system beeps are so important and it will indicate system errors and it will warn you against system damage. When the processor system or Random Access Memory (RAM) or hard drive is not working properly, it will give the alert system using the beep.
     
    Therefore, I recommend you to check the good condition of functioning of your RAM and hard drive.
     
    Change the Windows sound scheme has been defined as 'None'.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

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

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    ===========================================

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
    programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
    first.
