• When you pass "Windows Explorer" stopping and restarting. Only happening since I installed 9 Microsoft Updates, the update of Windows 8 December 2009. (Vista Ultimate SP2)

  Each week, I (manually) install the recommended update of Windows updates. I'm under IE8 too. Also running Microsift Security Essentials.
  Since the installation of updated 9 dec, (KB974318, 905866, 890830, 976416, 973917, 970430, 976325, 976884, 971737) 8, about 3 - 5 times a day, I click to open a folder, or click a link - I get a window saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working".  He says while it collects information, and then restart Windows Explorer.
  It happened this morning, as soon as I clicked on "Windows Update" icon of the button 'start '. It also occurs when the single click to open a folder on my desktop or inside another folder.

  I've also observed sometimes when you try to delete an important file (for example 300 MB) the deletion starts but seems to hang and ends not - even after 10 minutes or more.

  Before installing the latest batch of updates I have not seen these problems within 9 months I've been running this machine.
  Any ideas?

  I run McAfee anti virus and it is up-to-date.  I also ran SpyBot and PC Tools 36 hours - clean.
  Last night I ran as Microsoft on line scanners - no found major problems, some problems of minor registry, which I corrected.
  Windows Explorer problem occurred twice since the scan.

  Someone knows a problem associated to the last batch of updates?
  Thank you.

  I just spent a few hours of operation, McAfee, Spybot, PCTools Spyware Doctor Lavasoft Ad-Aware, removal tool Microsoft malicious software, Microsoft defender, PC Tools Registry mechanic. All work in a deep analysis, if appropriate and all give zero infections/problems.

  You can run the scan utility from now until the cows is home and still not detect & remove all this hijackware, Colin. See...

  Now see step #3 ("now run a thorough check for hijackware, including display asked newspapers...) in my previous answer.

  TIP: Running Registry Mechanic may have made matters worse! If you ever think your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

• Vista crashes whenever I try to open image files.

  Whenever I try to download image files, my browser crashes. This has happened on IE, Firefox and Chrome. Also if I try to download a picture online email (gmail, for example), crash of the browser. So it must be a Windows problem. Please notify.

  Hey Lynnels,

  This is mainly due to my bad video codecs. Please upgrade to the latest version of the code pack installed or disable the mp4 codec or the creation of thumbnails.

  Also try these methods.

  Method 1

  Start in safe mode and check.

  1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

  2. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  3. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  4. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  5. in the display Advanced Startup Options, use the arrow keys to select the option of safe mode you want and press ENTER. For more information about the options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode).

• Windows Explorer closes and restarts (?) when I right click on a file photo.

  One time, I installed a software to go with a slide scanner. The software changed to the default program for photo files and then proceeds to seize up after that about 12 slides have been scanned. I removed the software, but every time I do a right-click on a file photo, jpeg, gif, bitmap, etc., or try to open the file menu when one is highlighted, close all Windows Explorer Windows and icons in the taskbar and desktop disappear for a while. The last two return after a minute or two, but not all open windows. Other programs such as Internet Explorer or MS Word are not affected.

  I suspect that the defective scanner software installed an entry in the context menu. Search for it and delete it using the ShellExView free program:

  The steps that I want to tell you is not worth with vista

  Try to use the System File Checker to scan your operating system for missing/corrupt files, perform the following steps:
  1. start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  2. in the area of results, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be asked to type the password for an administrator account. If you are the administrator or type the administrator password, click on continue. Then click on continue.
  3. at the command prompt, type Sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista CD.

  Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

• Remove the auto to replace new installed XP Pro search function, whenever I try to open transferred files/documents

  Hello all him world-same advisors windows on this forum:

  I thought I had posted this slight question here, but maybe on other forums of Web site...  I could not find in this forum, throughout 50 not possible pages to be sorter for the dates of entry anywhere to locate mines. So, I am apologically, submit again (if I already posted here).

  I prefer my implementation of behaviors on my programmed replacement XP computer to be what I'm used to.  My old computer was XP system (do not know if a Home or Pro).  Whenever I have clicked/open a saved folder and/or its documents/pictures, etc., he immediately opened everything I wanted.  Very simple and the most privileged.

  This computer has been changed by a virus (HDisc has been cleaned) and breath of capacitors (?).  I replaced this computer with a similar XP programmed order.  This computor (Lenovo) is installed with OEM XP Pro (Service Pack 3 2002).  My cleaned documents and records were transferred to this computer.  They are also on my external hard drive. All resettled programs worked / I was able to run everything as I preferred, and I know my game previous changes.

  The new computor will now automatically in the search window (I got rid of this infernal animated dog) whenever I click/point on a folder and or any document in this folder.  I now do a right click to open the menu, scan down to go to search, explore, open and click on open every time I want my stuff with immediate access. I went and variously adjusted/delete/restore items separated and grouped in file search options. No effect I wanted, then it's back to the restored original basis.

  Does anyone have a simple solution for a keen memory private user of documents and folders to open the first time I point to them, without having to the Group of experts through 2-3 additional steps to counter some automatic placement in a research program?

  Thanks for the reply.  Method 1 as fact: click Start, control panel (click appearance and themes is not in this Panel) then you click on options files, display tabs, then erased automatically search box of files network, apply, and then click OK.  No effect.  When I click on registered (non-shared, never networked shared, in a single computer only) folder, the search engine appears and indicates to click on in the box on the left to share.  It brings up a list.

  I want my file to open it in mode icon in place, what it does when I go its just clicked menu to open.

  Method 2: start, press go to run, should have read clicked ok, locate items in step 2 (through the menu items open progressive as indicated), when in the value DWord, when started banging NoNetCrawling he immediately travelled to this window and in box will the number 1, which was already. This spruced up, press OK and the closed registry editor and start box.     Once again, no change in behavior.  Go back to defaul restoration, since it is the basis for me to start without jump my computer up to my forgotten violin.

  Thanks a lot again.  However, responses to my question don't involve any networking computors, shared, wifi /, household D link wireless routers, office or home setting or use dial-up.  It is a computor that whenever I point to a folder, the search procedure starts automatically.  I want this behavior stopped and I want the computer to open the folder and the files it contains right now I click on it (I use the simple click).  Click and open.  Don't click, search, open.

  How can I find my question?   I went to the discussion for XP, all questions and did not find it anywhere among the 50 items recently answered to.  Only it obtained pressing the issue on my e-mail address containing your answer.

• CC of Dreamweaver for Mac crashes whenever I try to open a file.

  Hello, I went through a large number of subjects with normal bugs and do not understand why this is happening. I tried online support and they were no help either. So I hope that someone knows it as well and has a solution. I did used own library (preferences, cache) with a reboot and nothing has worked. I also installed and resinstalled a few times over the past months.

  If I open the program and everything is fine. If I open a file that has already been processed, it will crash until the file opens. However, if I open a HTML doc empty and then open the file opens, it seems still quite buggy. Even with the version 13.1 its just next door.

  I use CS6 for my projects, but why should I when I'm on a subscription of the CC? My CC versions of InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and all work fine. I don't understand. Any help or idea would be really grateful.

  FG Pages? I'm not really familiar with that term.

  It could have been posting however. I open HTML pages that are used for marketing by e-mail, and they seem to work now well. I went through a few other HTML pages, and they open too. Before they were not something positive that has happened between reboots.

  Even the file breaking it is open; Maybe something wrong with validation. It has Parallax scrolling and a large number of related files. I imagine that something can it break down.

  With the new rendering engine will just crash? It seems that the old one was unaware of just things if they were not in place. A new looks good, so I'm excited to see how it works and how close it gets to other browsers.

  Once I open the documents on my pc I get the message that windows Explorer has stopped working, then the new windows Explorer restarts and the same problem again and again.

  Hello

  ·        You did changes to the computer before the show?

  ·        Is it limited to any particular document or is it in general?

  Method 1

  Step 1: I suggest that you start in safe mode and check if the problem persists:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 2: If the problem does not persist then put the computer to boot and check what third-party application is causing the problem:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: after a repair, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  Method 2: run the SFC scan to check if system files are intact:

• Windows Explorer crashes and some actions, such as copying a file, are often dismissed by an error message

  Since I switched to Windows 7 last year (a new computer), I had problem with Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer).  (1) when I try to save a Word document in an existing folder, I get a message that says that I have no authority to modify files at this level.  If I record again, he will save but then IT breaks down (i.e. goes white and the monitor is frozen).  (2) if I open a record in US and right-click on a file, rather than not we'RE going to crash right here - same scenario.

  It happens from time to time but now it happens almost every time I have use US or try to save a file.

  I think I have solved the problem!

  I found a site like the one I had last year.  As a result of his leadership, I did the following:

  1. right click on the Windows Explorer icon.  Right click on properties.  On the shortcut tab, under target, I found this parameter: % windir%\explorer.exe/n, / e, / select c:\users\alf\dropbox

  2. I deleted this setting and by the following cela: c:\users\alf.

  Now, it seems to be functioning normally and WE default to the folder 'alf', where my main data is stored.

  Does make sense?

• Guard Windows Explorer crashing and restarting

  Hi all

  I use Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on a Toshiba laptop. Yesterday afternoon, this "Explorer stopped responds" / "reboot...". "begun loop that I couldn't solve. I was not doing something special when he started to occur, no new installs, no new program, just browse the Internet with Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer Beta (all 3 for various reasons not related to the problem). Here are the things I've tried so far:

  1 system restore - unable to do because apparently, even if it was lit, "0" space has been assigned to the and there is no restore point
  2 safe Mode - does the same thing
  3. clean the Boot - did the same thing
  4 sfc/scannow - no integrity problem found
  5 chkdsk - no problems found
  6. Norton Internet Security 2011 Full System Scan - no problems found

  I spent over 6 hours trying to solve this problem, including 2 Norton analysts, trying to help through the support of the remote control. Only thing, they found a malware 'hack' through a combination of a-squared one of them installed, removal of which had absolutely no effect on the problem.

  I was able to disable (complete the process stops the loop but it means that I have no bar of tasks/desktop/folders)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you.

  (If possible, I prefer not to reinstall windows, format my hard drive or install a third-party program to "fix" for this problem)

  Just to make the clear solution for future reference:

  Go to Event Viewer (open Manager jobs by Ctrl + Alt + Delete, click on 'file'-> 'break-in' type "eventvwr.msc" for Event Viewer) to see what type of program is made a mistake in addition to Windows Explorer (2 errors showed on every restart Windows Explorer). Look at the path of the file for the second error. E.g.

  Activation context generation failed for "c:\program files\real\realplayer\plugins\rmxrend.dll." Load Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT, processorArchitecture = "x 86" publicKeyToken = "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", type = "win32", version = "9.0.21022.8" was not found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

  Note the main program (in this case realplayer). Then follow these steps, in order, until Windows stops crashing:

  1. ensure that the problems causing program is up-to-date, otherwise, update.

  2 Uninstall (go to the Manager of task-> type 'file'-> 'run' in "appwiz.cpl" for Add/Remove Programs)

  3. If #2 working, reinstall it and see if the problem is still present. If this is the case, uninstall and keep it uninstalled.

  My problem was caused by RealPlayer and went away once I uninstalled it. My realplayer has been updated and reinstall the back problem, so bye bye realplayer.

• Windows Explorer stops and starts every few minutes on XP

  I have Windows 7 every few minutes a message: "Windows explore is close and restart".

  I took the following steps to resolve this problem, but not completely as in computer science, I'm afraid

  I am groping in the dark:

  1 - tried to clean the computer in SafeMode to network using Tweaking.com after the first

  disable the anti-virus

  2-scans for corrupted files (using cmd in start then sfc/scannow) but there is no apparent integrity

  violations

  3 reset

  Browing 4-delete history

  Unable to read the 5 modules

  These actions appear to have had no effect and power problem.
