  right click on windows Explorer causes crash!  Sometimes when I try to empty the trash, it also blocks?  I use windows 7?

  Right-click accidents are caused by third-party shell extensions. To identify the culprit, you must use a utility like ShellExView and disable context menus not Microsoft managers one by one (or disable items in a batch) and observe.

  Thank you for your help, but I tried something else. What you suggested, it was too complicated for me :) I restored Windows 7 to the point before the problem started (which was a recent Java Update December 26) and even if he says that restoration could not be complete, it seems to be invalid the latest version of Sun Java and Windows Explorer now works as it is supposed to.

  I have a new question now, if update SunJava caused my windows Explorer keep crashing how can I keep the java software to install this update again? Thanks a lot for your help.

• Windows explore keep crashing

  My new laptop has Windows 7 and whenever I open windows Explorer, I am "windows Explorer has stopped working".

  I also note that the icons of the system are all off, except the clock and it is all grey.  in a first time after the start of these icons will appear, but after that I open explore and he crash that the icon will disappear.

  I tried to update the display driver (I got Intel and Nvidia graphics, I've updated them both to the most recent version), I tried safe mode, disable all the service but the Windows service, I scan complete with anti-virus and anti-malware, I downloaded and installed Microsoft Fix It, but explore crash yet. I also tried sfc/scannow, but it says: "found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them" I tried to read the CBS but I don't understand who is corrupted files.

  I tried to fix the problem of system icons by deleting the IconStreams and PastIconStreams regedit, HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. He worked for a while, no more explore crash but after a few minutes, it failed again, and system icons is gone again!

  whenever Explorer plant for the first time, my laptop still plays this note that usually plays when I first get into windows, the screen flashes a little and then system icons will disappear.

  my laptop is still new and all the other function works well, just this problem with Explorer and system icons.

  Please help me, I can't use my computer without explore.

  I'm not very good with computer, so if you can, please explain to me step by step.

  In addition, forgive my bad English, it is not my mother tongue.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Since this is a new computer, you need to check with the system manufacturer's support, their online
  documentation, diagnosis and ask questions in the forums about known problems. OEM for the
  System manufacturer is responsible for the functioning Windows and hardware.
  So whatever the cause it is theirs to solve. And the system is under full warranty and
  needs repair or replacement. Added that even if you are somehow able to solve
  the question would still want you it documented just in case there are other related issues
  on the road.

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

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  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: run DriverView - set
  SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those with Dump in their names. (Also
  updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

  -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
  Poster: 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 Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer 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 are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

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

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however remember to check

• Why windows Explorer keep crash since I installed internet explorer 9

  the answer to "immediately after installing IE9 Windows explore crashes - Vista SP2" does not actually to answer the question for me as I will be unable to upgrade to Windows 7 for a long time yet. I can't even uninstall IE9 because I can't in the Panel, nor can I access the restore points.

  just uninstall IE9 and go

  Back to IE8 using rstrui.exe

  to access the system restore.

• Tecra 9100, Windows Explorer & Desktop crashing!

  I have a Tecra (40 GB) 9100 lately, my Desktop (!) and Windows Explorer crashes on me. When I finish the task and relaunch in the Task Manager, the performance of the processor goes to 100%, and the fan starts going CRAZY (obviously) good that only one or two applications are running. What happens here?

  Hi Katherina
  It s difficult to analyse this problem. You may have installed new software?

• scroll bar of Vista window Explorer (file window) guard scroll up

  I use Vista Home. When you use Windows Explorer, the scroll bar in the folder keeps scrolling box up automatically, even I slide the scroll bar down, she will move back to the top.

  Hello

  (a) don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

  (b) when was the last time it was working fine?

  (c) the problem occurs only with windows Explorer?

  I suggest you to try the steps below and check if they help to resolve the issue.

  Step 1:

  Try to start your system in safe mode and check if you are able to scroll in Windows Explorer without any problem.

  To start in safe mode, see the link below.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Step 2:

  If the scroll bar works correctly in safe mode, I suggest that you perform a clean boot in normal mode and check if the problem is still persist.

  Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

  How to configure Windows Vista to start in a "clean boot":

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.
  c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Hope this information is useful.

• 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

• Windows Explorer (file) crashes randomly without reason in windows 8

  Specifications of the computer:

  CPU: 2.00 GHTz DUal Core CPU (not overclocked)
  Video: NVidia GT610 1 GB Galaxy
  On-board sound
  Hard drives: three drives of 160 GB
  Explorer Windows seems to crash randomly during operations of files on internal disks or outside of any kind. All controls and system disks come out without any problems whatsoever, and I'm pretty well versed in computers and operating systems, so I'm at a loss on what could be the issue.

  Hello

  Please, try the command SFC/scannow in the administration command prompt and see if that helps.
  Hope this helps, good luck :)
