If you do not watch one of my suggestions?

BTW, Norton could be the cause of some of your problems. A lot of users immediately remove Norton or McAfee when buying a new computer and the provider has preinstalled these security products.

Windows Explorer freezes in Vista Home Edition

Windows Explorer stops working when moving the files from one folder to another, removing files, when I put something in the trash. It comes from the dialog box showing how much time remaining. I have to do a Ctrl, alt, delete to open the file manager and then select end task. The files are where I put them, but the dialog box will remain forever!

Often, a certain instability in Windows Explorer is due to the defective shell extensions and addons.

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?

Windows Explorer freezes

Windows Explorer crashes / hang every time that I try to navigate in the folders pane, or even to rename a file. If I try to move or delete a file that it does, but the popup window of activity never ends. In both cases, I have to go to the Task Manager and kill Explorer manually.

Windows Explorer Crash Vista

I know there are other threads that are similar, but they are not quite the same problem and I did not have luck with them.

When I start it, I get a windows explore has stopped working, windows Explorer restarts loop. I can't open anything because windows Explorer restarts and closes everything that I try to open. I tried the system restore and the safe mode, no luck. I am running Vista Home Premium on an HP laptop. Any ideas?

Hi wx2dzug,

Thanks for posting your question.

You are able to start the computer in safe mode?

This problem can also occur if you have installed a third party or sometimes when you have not updated to the application installed on the computer.

You can read the following article:
937093 error message when you log on to Windows Vista: "Windows Explorer has stopped working".

Immediately after installing IE9 Windows Explorer crashes - Vista SP2

Since windows Explorer crashes I can't update windows to uninstall or recovery allows to go back to a restore point. I don't have a system disk in Vista, just an image of recovery from Dell. Reinstalls don't go and try to install IE8 also would not go. I turned off the IsInstalled Wick in the registry (for IE9) but that didn't help either.

Good advice - unfortunately I couldn't even restore the system in safe mode. Since I am about to install Win 7 in any case, I just went ahead and did. Workaround went well.

It cannot make files in Windows Explorer w/Vista "copy paste".

In Windows Explorer can't do 'Copy paste' files in Windows Explorer.

By the previous discussions, I uninstalled Internet Explorer 8 and re-installed

(no difference).

Even re-installed Vista SP2 (no difference).

A running x 64 various supported Rootkit detectors and found nothing.

(Cannot run revelear of Sysinternal rootkit gave it does not support x 64)

Chased found nothing update Virusscan/malware.

A ran SFC and get this message, but do not know if this is the case I have Intel processor.

Halima S,.

It works for the other connections on this machine. So, with the worries of shrinking to s/o the origin of the problem,

I saved my files and re-created a new account. The new account works fine, so I deleted the old account.

I really don't know why this has happened given I have not installed the brand new s/w recently.

Thank you for your help.

Problems related to Windows Explorer in Vista

Since I had to do a clean install, I had problems in Windows Explorer. Whenever I try to click with the right button on the display window elements, especially if I'm trying to delete or move, Explorer stops and restarts, making me try to redo what I was doing. She also does it sometimes when I select the menu bar.

I ran sfc/scannow from the command prompt, and he comes back and tells me that some files were corrupted and not repaired. I tried to look in the newspaper for the problems, but I get a window "access denied." I run as administrator when I do that. I used my windows disk and tried the repair function on the files of it. That did not fix it.

The only message I could see is this message from the link to report problems in the Panel:

Any ideas on how to fix? It becomes very irritating and makes getting whatever it is in fact a problem.

I might suggest to capture an image of user mode of the accident which has the potential to identify the cause.

You can configure Windows to create dumps of user mode. First, create a System Restore Point.

If you copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save it as a .reg file (save with the .reg extension and give it a name like explorerdump.reg) then right click on the .reg file and select "Merge" to add to the registry, when the .dmp file explorer.exe plant should be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe]
"DumpFolder" = hex (2): 43, 00, 3A, 00, 5 c 00, 43, 00, 72, 00, 61, 00, 73, 00, 68, 00, 44, 00, 75,.
00, 6 D, 00, 70, 00, 73, 00, 00, 00

After Explorer (explorer.exe) crashes, you can, and then make the .dmp file available (provide the link) via a public folder on OneDrive or similar site.

Here are a few links on the use of OneDrive (SkyDrive):

Freeze Windows Explorer

My Windows Explorer freezes lately. I log on, have no other applications open, then select 'My Documents '. Next, I get a blank white window. I went to the Task Manager to find that Explorer.exe "unresponsive". When I look at the process in the Task Manager, it says that Explorer.exe taking 50% or more of my CPU.

I have then to close the process and log in again.
How can I fix it?

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

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.

Hi HBrown Gordon,

In order to focus more on your particular situation, I shared your post to a new thread.

Please take a look at the following information through Wunders in a previous post:

The work of Windows Explorer is to consider what is in the disk and its directory and present this information to the user. If the disk or the disk directories are corrupted, it confuses Windows Explorer and can lead to lock. Whenever Windows Explorer crashes, the first step should be to achieve a check disk (chkdsk) with the /f or/r option.

"How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

Check disk can usually take hours depending on the speed and the size of the hard drive. If corruption is present, it may take more time. Plan on execution of the audit during the night or when you won't need your computer for awhile. In addition, if corruption is present, files may be lost. If possible, save what you can before you run the disk check.

Hope that helps!

Windows Explorer crashes whenever I try to move or delete files

No matter when I start a file (move or deletion of files) operation, Windows Explorer freezes in the middle of the operation.

I'm still able to navigate my computer normally when that happens, but for file operation dialog box does not disappear and remains stuck at halfway.

Any ideas why this might be happening? Thank you very much in advance!

Hello

Use the other methods in the previous troublesshooters I posted as the tcpmon.ini
error is not the cause of the gel.

------------------------------------------------------

Departure - in the search box, type-> order

at the top of the list to find COMMAND - CLICK RIGHT to it - RUN AS ADMIN

Type the following commands (or copy and paste one at a time), each followed by pressing on enter.

ipconfig/flushdns

nbtstat-r

nbtstat - RR

netsh int Reinitialis

netsh int ip reset

netsh winsock reset

RESET

That resets your TCP/IP stack
----------------------------------

Also update your drivers:

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, who created the company
the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit system Maker as replacements and manufacturer device which are the
most up-to-date. Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write it down
and complete the model tab of the driver for your video - double-click - card write
to the bottom of the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing as MS is
far behind certification pilot) - 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 the other main device drivers you
a.

Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and
then device Maker (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) of the site and get the latest news
versions. (Search for updates to the BIOS, Chipset and software on the site of the manufacturer of the system while)
it.)

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 install
actually arises. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed
(particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check is to be sure
installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat BTW to the manufacturers - manufacturers of devices DO WORK DO NOT THEIR SCANNER-
manually check by model.

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

Display folder size in Windows Explorer

I try to get the size of the folder to display in the details pane in Windows Explorer (on Vista). When I had Windows XP (Professional edition), it would appear that there, but not with Vista. Under XP I could just click on a folder and the size of the folder would be in the details pane, but Vista does not do that. (The only downside was that the size of subfolders was not included here, that the size of individual files in this folder; but just expand the folder in the navigation and then clicking on each subfolder, I might understand this.) I'll be leaving my office soon and want to have an idea of the size of the files I want to carry around with me (and how many CD, I might have need - can use keys USB memory on the system of Government) when I go. I looked through Windows help, but I can't find the answer to this question. Anyone?

Right-click on the folder and click Properties and it will show you the number of files, the number of cases, the sizes of these each and other details. You can also hover your mouse on the file and it will show the tooltips which include the EIS (but not so much information as properties).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

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. How can I uninstall IE9 - is there a solution to this problem that doesn't involve the upgrade to Windows 7?

Hello

Thank you for your response.

I decided earlier, however,

just uninstall IE9 and go

Back to IE8 using rstrui.exe

to access the system restore.
