Help!

Whenever I'm trying to go in my computer or control panel, I get a message that windows Explorer has stopped working.  He then says that we find a solution, and the message disappears.  I can't yet get into my files computer or control panel.

Whenever I'm trying to go in my computer or control panel, I get a message that windows Explorer has stopped working.  He then says that we find a solution, and the message disappears.  I can't yet get into my files computer or control panel.

Why you are posting in the forum, IE?  Maybe the reason why you try to use the CP is to enter Internet Options?  If so, you can do it without the help of Windows Explorer (at least on your operating system) starting (using the Task Manager if necessary): control.exe inetcpl.cpl

Otherwise what your problem probably means is that you have added something new to the root of the control panel which is not compatible with your OS, causing thus the Windows Explorer (not IE) crashing.  In this case, the same way you could get in Add Remove programs without involving Windows Explorer by starting: control.exe appwiz.cpl

You can get help more informed by post on a forum that specializes in performance and Maintenance of your operating system.

Good luck

  • Windows 7 error: "Windows Explorer has stopped working" when you try to connect to network shares.

    I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop - clean, no upgrade. It's in the CARDS and not a copy of the beta version. When I try to connect to a network share, I get an error. "Windows Explorer has stopped working". If I go to start > run and type in \\servername\users, I'm prompted credentials. I enter domainname\administrator, then the password, as soon as I get an error message indicating that "Windows Explorer has stopped working" then by «Windows Explorer restarts...» "and then refreshes the screen. If I open computer > network > Servername, I invite myself again for credentials, but get the same message. The name of username/password combo does not seem to make a difference.

    An additional singularity, I went to control panel > "Backup of your computer", and when I was invited to a network location back up my system, I gave him the same set of location and network credential and the system have been successfully saved to the network drive.

    Press Win Logo key + R, type: fsmgmt.msc

    You see your own actions?

    If so, open the credentials manager in Control Panel and look for an entry like your network logon. Delete who can clear up.

  • "Windows Explorer has stopped working" if I open Control Panel

    Guys, could someone help me please?

    When I open the Control Panel, it says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then it restarts Windows Explorer. When I right click on any folder it says "recording of the UI language is not valid" 5 times and for a split second, it says "Corrupted registry" then it works. But I am unable to use the control panel.

    I have Windows Vista home premium and Norton Antivirus.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    The error message says something about corrupt registry.
    So, it seems that this issue would be related to incorrect or damaged registry entries.

    If the registry is damaged, your operating system will not work as it should and can feel such or similar problems.

    I m using the CCLeaner to clean the registry and other system files.
    It s a free tool and you should try it.

    If this does not work and if you notice the same question so I would recommend reinstalling the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.
    In most cases this will help you fix this registry

  • Control Panel System Windows Explorer has stopped working

    When I press on the Control Panel, system, I get an error "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then control panel stops. I get this error every time I have to perform this action. When I run my PC on Safe Mode, it works fine and I get no error and I'm able to run the options that appear when the 'Systems' option is selected. Other tasks in the control panel seem to work correctly.  I also noticed that I get similar messages "windows Explorer or the program has stopped working" periodically when I perform other tasks in internet explore, etc.

    I tried all the recommendations described in of KB/269949 and KB/929135 knowledge articles and many items in the Microsoft community, Microsoft and the Internet site. For example, update the video driver, auditor of file system (CFS), Virus scan, Mode safe, clean boot, memory RAM test, etc.. I also tried all the relevant actions I could think under the Microsoft Fix tool. Each of them has not solved the problem.

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5742 G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 with 8 GB of memory, running Windows 7 with all the latest updates installed, so all drivers have been updated. I also use the last IE 11 with all updates.

    If anyone knows a similar problem with Windows 7, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer 11, or has a recommendation how to fix?

    Hi Ravi,

    This is an update to my problem. It might be useful to others with similar problems.

    My problem has not been resolved, but I decided to live with it. It was a difficult decision after a major disaster, I almost lost everything on my PC to try and solve the problem.

    I put the finger on the problem with the graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 version 8.741.1.5000 dated dated 25/08/2010 driver. I noticed that when I check for an update using Control Panel, Device Manager, select the graphics card above and updates, windows comes back with a message indicating that it is the best available driver.

    I made the mistake to check the AMD website to see if there is a newer driver. According to their instructions and download their program, they recommended a more recent drive using the catalyst for AMD. The new driver is Version 14.301.1001.0 dated 15/09/2014 date. The same driver is also selected if I the Slimdrivers application user. With this new driver, the problem disappeared. In other words, I was able to use the Control Panel, System menu and access the submenus system without any problems. I thought I had solved the problem. I repeated the process and checked for the driver from the Windows Control Panel, Device Manager and look for the updates. Surprise. This review of windows update back to the original version of the 25/08/2010. The problem is back again. I repeated this process with re-installing Catalyst from AMD with the same results.

    However, I noticed that the AMD Catalyst, never finished the installation and the installation crashed. Updated the driver before it crashed.

    My major problem occurred when I tried to restart the PC with the new driver installed by AMD Catalyst. My PC and Windows would not start. He gave me a number of errors that the problem cannot be corrected. I tried all the solutions, Safe Mode, point to restore, System Restore and all the choices given in the articles from Microsoft. None of them worked.

    Finally, after many hours, days and nights that I was able to use an Acer recovery disk, I created when I bought the laptop. One on the Image worked system recovery options and I could get my PC to a more ancient date. The driver is the original edition of 2010 the year with the same problem.

    Therefore, I decided to live with the problem. I can access the submenus of system using startup and entering in the auxiliary system option in the search box. I wrote these submenus.

    WARNING TO OTHER USERS. DO NOT TRY to UPDATE THE ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, 8.741.1.5000 driver version dated 25/08/2010, using catalyst of MCDA.

    Furthermore, my assessment is that if I try to restore my PC to the factory default condition, once all windows updates are installed and I install my apps, the same problem will occur. If I did think I would lose a lot of useful applications, which I'm not sure that I can restore. I have a lot of useful data that I use for more than 20 years and I can't afford to lose their jobs. I would live with the problem until something more grand occurs. In this case, I would by a new laptop. I would make sure that there no AMD ATI products on this topic.

    Thanks again for the time. There is no reason to answer, unless as described above, you have seen something new.

  • Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

    Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

    I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

    We will cover all the possibilities.

    1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

    Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

    IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

    4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

    Tips:

    -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

    -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

    -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  • Windows Explorer has stopped working... then restart... only when I try to delete something!

    I'm running Windows Vista Business 2007.  I have not had problems with my computer until my computer has been infected with the Malware last week.  The malware has been removed.  The problem I have is when I try to delete a file, the shortcut on the desktop or do anything, I get a display box that appears and says "Windows Explorer has stopped working... Windows is looking for a solution to a problem." Then another presentation box appears and says "Windows Explorer restarts... "and it restarts.  The file will not be deleted. I tried to delete files in multiple places and using several methods of deletion (button Delete, right click and delete, move, delete, etc.)

    I tried many actions listed on the support forums and nothing has worked yet.  When I first upgraded to windows I had to turn off user account control because it was originally the System unstable and would not allow updates to install. I made on and off again, but it does nothing to help with that.

    ANY INFO on my problem would be greatly appreciated!

    Search for malware that were missed, as suggests.

    Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

    Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

    Another option could be to consider the establishment of the hierarchy of the following registry keys in the registry:
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe\
    In the explorer.exe key, create a REG_EXPAND_SZ value named DumpFolder and set the value to%systemdrive%\localdumpsdata.  Ensure that the %systemdrive%\localdumps file exists, and then cause the crash to happen.  It must be a dump file in %systemdrive%\localdumps. Download the dump on your SkyDrive file and provide a link.

  • Cannot open the control panel and workstation - "Windows Explorer has stopped working"

    Original title - I can't open my computer or control panel.

    I try to open my computer or control panel so I can uninstall something I think that may have caused a problem. When I try to do so, a window opens saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working". I don't know what to do. I think it was some game, I installed recently which caused this.

    Restart your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 just before windows logo appears after intervention by the bios. And see if you can open my computer or control for safe mode. If you then uninstall the program/game where you doubt. also run msconfig and remove startup programs that you do not use frequently and do not trust. Also if you have recently added a toolbar or of any custom theme and then disable it. then reboot in normal mode and see if the problem persists. It will be useful.

    Good luck!
