• Windows Explorer stops working whenever I have connect a USB flash drive and try to access

  Hello. I use Windows Vista.

  I had a particular problem. Whenever I have plug in a USB key and try and access it, I get a pop saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working." the file is closed. If I wait a long time (i.e. 10 seconds), I might be able to get into the drive without any problems, but even when there is no guarantee. The problem persists in each USB slot I use. In addition, it is not that the computer is not able to detect it. It can detect and identify that it is a USB flash drive. It's just that whenever I try to access (or the folders inside the flash player), windows Explorer stops working and restarts.

  Does anyone have this problem before? And any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  The mistake made reference the MSVCR80.dll, which is a Microsoft file, but it may be another third party file, causing the problem.

  DivX is installed?

  If so, can you uninstall DivX and see if the error resolves.

• Equium A210 - Windows Explorer stops working

  I have a laptop Equium A210. Why does windows Explorer stop working and restart all the time?

  > Why windows Explorer does not work and restart all the time
  Who knows?  :|

  Maybe you have messed your OS and now OS doesn't function properly.
  Have you tried to restore the operating system from the recovery CD?

  If this isn't the case, then do it. The whole HARD drive will be formatted and the recovery CD to install the image of Toshiba which contains the OS, driver, utility and software tools extra.

  This should help.

• Windows Explorer stops working when USB drive is ejected

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with the windows Explorer. When you eject a USB device, windows Explorer stops working and must restart. It also stops working when trying to get the properties of the USB device. I watched "Event Viewer" and there is an error log that says this:

  The failing application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.1.7601.17567, time stamp: 0x4d672ee4
  Name of the failed module: SHLWAPI.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce7c9ab
  Exception code: 0xc0000005

  Report ID: 0d06c054-0346-11e2-ad84-00248c7a3b78

  Now, I had this problem on my home computer and tried to replace the file SHLWAPI.dll with whom I had the internet, but it bugged my computer and had to re - install windows. Now, this computer works fine. I would get a solution to what keeps all my files and programs since to reinstall all my programs and backup my files on my computer to school will be a big hassle.

• Windows Explorer stops working at random times while browsing files.

  Windows Explorer stops working at random times while browsing files. I tried to fix this by doing a start-up in minimal mode, but without any result.
  It all started with a similar problem, Explorer windows stops working at first upward and restarts and stops working again and restarts again and keeps it doing. I've tried several things like do a clean boot, by safe mode, but even there it happened the same thing but this time, stop once and restart it once, and then it worked normally. When I started windows normally, it did the same thing, so I tried and inplace upgrade and did not work, so finally I did a cover, but only on the first partition, which is the operating system, now I have this problem, Explorer stops working at random times while browsing the folders, it restarts, but then the same thing happens.
  Please help me I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and sorry for my bad English.

  Hello
  I tried your methods, but still did not work. In the meantime, I did a full restore to two partitions, and it worked. I guess the problem was I uninstalled a few unwanted games, which came with the pc and the anti-virus of the trial.

• Windows Explorer stops working when I try to access a drive mapped on my FTP server on the internet.

  I just changed web pages (using Crimson editor) and instead to save the files on my hard drive I just left open and "hibernating" my machine overnight.  After 3 days of having an FTP connection (opened by a mapped drive) setting on my computer hibernation, I accidentally hit Shut Down, and I lost all my work, ARGH! (Yes, I know, I should have better). In any case, now when I open my computer and click on the FTP of the mapped drives, I get the message that Windows Explorer has stopped working.  And if I go to Internet explorer (7), enter ' ftp://mysite.com it brings me to a root FTP page where it says: to view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click Open the FTP Site in Windows Explorer. " I do that and it brings up a window of the Explorer windows momentarily and then I get the message. Explorer Windows has stopped working.  Any ideas? I hope I don't have to reinstall the operating system.  I did a system restore to 4 days ago. It did not work.

  Hi SewNSew,

  To refine the question, I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: Set the clean boot computer and try to access the drive

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

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

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software

  Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link

  Step 2: The utility of Auditor (SFC) for the file system allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a SFC scan on the windows vista computer. To run a scan suite SFC as follows:

  (a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  (b) at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

  If the problem persists,

  Step 3: Disable control (UAC) user account and make sure to do this, follow these steps:

  1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

  2. click on Turn User Account Control on or off.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. Select the use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer, clear the check box to disable UAC, and then click OK.

  Important: It is not recommended to disable UAC; We just try to limit the question. Please, enable UAC after the test is performed. See the link below:

• Windows Explorer stops working

  Windows explore stop (explore.exe question) it seems only when I try to open a file with associated with Real Player videos.  When I left solutions, none are found. I have Vista Ultimate and don't remember having this problem with Vista Premium.  I tried many things such as an external hard drive, to reduce the load of memory and a player flash set up as a ReadyBoost.  Found a lot of answers about Windows Explorer, but most East of problems with several accidents or other problems.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Click Tools and then click Folder Options
  On the general tab, click using the Windows classic folders, and click OK.

  This will cause the explorer.exe avoid making the thumbnail preview on video files that might not be compatible with Vista.

• Windows Explorer stops working, then restarts

  Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer stops working, then restarts whenever a windows in the start menu program is closed. In some programs in the start menu, such as Documents, pictures, music, games, computer, control, devices and printers, ect. The error message indicates that windows Explorer has stopped working and controls a solution. Then after about 10 seconds, all the desktop icons disappear, and then looks like windows Explorer restarts itself. I am running windows 7 since an upgrade of Vista. I reinstalled windows 7 upgrade kit and done all the recommended solutions to various web pages, but the problem persists. I talked to tech support and they say that, perhaps, some of the registry files are corrupted. The problem does not occur when I start the computer in safe mode. I have updated all drivers and updates of the window. I don't have a disk of Vista orginal software. Can I fix this on my own?

  Hi Michaeldaz,

  As the problem does not persist in safe mode, I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
