It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.

My pagefile.sys has completely disappeared. This all started when the power failed and my computer crashed.I get the message that he was away, I went to the performance and settings and tried to change custom settings & re-start.No matter what I do, nothing works. I lost several hours of visiting sites for tips and nothing seems to help.I was told when re-boots WinXP it creates the new file pagefile.sys and I should delete the pagefile.sys file may be corrupted on the C drive.So I put the folders to show hidden files and delete pagefile.sys. I have re-set and tried to recover with no success.There is now absolutely no pagefile.sys on my C drive. Anyone know how I can get back my pagefile.sys?I want to get my virtual memory works again?Thank you very much in advance!
I'd start first with the chkdsk/r.
Don't forget - if you have a factory installed recovery Partition, fixmbr will scan it as the Master Boot Record that written XP will equal not the MBR installed by the factory, so first run chkdsk /r (did I say that already)?
Here are some instructions:

Where people have no XP bootable media, here are my instructions:
If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.
This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.
You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.
The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:
xp_rec_con. ISO
Download the ISO from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig
Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:
When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.
Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.
You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive. These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load. If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.
When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:
Press any key to boot from CD...
Installing Windows... going to pronounce.
Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.
Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)
You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).
You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS. It's the same as the
C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.
The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.
For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:
A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.
In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.
Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem. It won't hurt anything to run it.
Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:
CHKDSK C: /r
Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.
It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck". Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something. Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress. It may even seem to go back sometime.
You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.
Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.
You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

Windows 7 SP1 32-bit on Dell Optiplex 745
http://PC.NET/helpcenter/answers/access_and_edit_the_windows_registry
After reading the above Web page, I searched C:\Windows\System32\regedit32.exe
using Windows Explorer and could not find. I have "show readers, the hidden files and folders" selected under view
in then Folder Options if she were here, he should appear.
Here is a picture of the analysis of clarification; Can someone check to see if it is installed in their computer files? Thanks, D.Shepherd
If you look in the correct folder, and use the correct file name, you would be able to find regedt32.exe:
There was formerly a difference between regedit.exe and regedt32.exe but since Windows XP, when you start regedt32.exe, it ends up running regedit.exe:
https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/141377
So use either one you want, but whatever you choose, you're going to get regedit.exe.
Remember that there is no cancellation or exit without saving when you use the registry editor, so it is prudent to have a strategy that if you make a mistake and your system becomes unusable (not start) when you have done, you will have a way to cancel the changes.
You can use this popular tool costs to back up your registry:

Original title: data execution prevention-window Explorer error
Data execution prevention launches when I try to access the windows Explorer, and more particularly when I try to watch videos. So I tried to turn off DEP for windows Explorer. Now, I can access my videos, but they all have text on them that says video PHOTO, & www.jpg.com. I have not downloaded new software recently, so I don't know where it comes from. I ran my antivirus sofware and malwarebytes, and my system is to come clean. How can I remove this from my videos? Thank you!
This isn't how to diagnose and repair the DEP errors - especially not Windows Explorer DEP errors.

Yes. There is no problem with their two different versions of

Restart of Windows 7 and the computer freezes at the STATION
Hey guys, I have a very big problem with Windows 7 on my computer. I tried so hard to have Windows 7 installed on my computer, and literally nothing I do works. I'll also post plug at the bottom of this post for reference. This can be a little long, so please try to stick with me. This is a race to the bottom of the problems I encounter.
I can install Windows 7 very well on my computer. I follow the methods that the manual of my motherboard has perfectly and I can get the OS installed and the user is set up, then it takes me to the desktop computer, but right after that, the computer goes through the shutdown process as soon as I click on what it is. I can not click File Explorer, internet Explorer, insert my drivers disk, or do anything at all without the computer go to auto restart. Then when it restarts, the computer completely to the Asus POST screen freezes and I can't do anything. I can't even start the BIOS menu. The only thing I've found that gets the computer not frozen, is:
-cut the power to the computer
-disconnect the hard drive
-re - turn on the computer
-Turn off the computer and turn off the power
-reconnect the hard drive
Then only will start the computer again as usual. But as soon as the computer starts Windows 7 and takes me on the desk, the whole process starts all over and I'm caught in this issue of perpetual restart. I have all the drivers installed at all because I can't even get there. Is there anything to solve this problem? I am very frustrated with this issue and all what I am looking for doesn't help at all. Will you please share your knowledge if you have something that will solve this problem, because it might help someone else too.
Here are my specs:
Intel i7 6700 k 4.0 ghz
NVIDIA GTX 1070 8 GB
16 GB ddr4 ram
ASUS z170-a
power supply 750W
240 GB SSD (with 10 Windows installed)
hard drive 1 TB (with Windows 7 installed on it)
Final note: I'm trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 10. Windows 10 works well on my computer, but I have problems with some games on that nobody seems to be able to explain or have a solution for. Research is getting me nowhere as well on this issue. I'm not too worried about this issue right now, but can ask for help on this subject later. As for right now, I just need help for this problem in Windows 7. Any help is appreciated
Thank you
Devon
EDIT: I managed to solve the problem of crash.
Hello Devon,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
We suggest that you use the hard 1 TB with your Windows 7 and divide the 1 TB into two partitions. Afterwards, you can try to re - install each operating system on each partition.
Refer to this Wiki Article on how to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 10.
We know the result of the question. We will be happy to help you further!

How to upgrade to Windows 7 and the computer freezes when I go to print
original title: several questions in fact
I have 2 questions
(1) my son bought a Sony NS Series Notebook for me. It came with a promise that I could upgrade to Windows 7. He tried to update several times and it didn't work. I know little about computers and so I accepted his answer that the Vista operating system is also good. Now I feel all sorts of problems and I told me time and again that it would be better to have windows 7. Any who tried to get the manufacturer to update after the date specified in them?
(2) my son helped connect me to 2 different printers depending on what I need to print. Now, the computer crashes when I go to print. Any advice?
Thank you in advance.
Krystyna(1) depending on your laptop model and the day when you pruchase, you might be able to take advantage of Windows 7 update, for more information I suggest the Sony site for Windows 7 upgrade:
http://eSupport.Sony.com/us/Perl/os7upgrade.pl
Or you can contact the Sony customer for more details
(2) for printer, the issue can be due to configuration or other reasons, I suggest to update your Windows and make sure printer drivers installed and also try to run:

Creating Windows dvd:
Computer crashed this program how to get back lost
Do you still have the program, but maybe just lost the shortcut for it?
See what you have here, C:\Program DVD Maker, look for DVDMaker.exe.
It may be necessary to show both hidden and system files and also uncheck 'Hide known file types' in Control Panel / folder Options / view to navigate to the specified location.
If you have the .exe, and then you can right-click on the .exe and "Pin" in the Start Menu or use "send to" to place a shortcut on the desktop.
If you type DVDMaker.exe in Start Menu / search box, or men Start / RUN box, which could launch for you.
You can try restoring the system also.

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 and other programs will not open / work
Can anyone help? In XP Home Edition, programs as internet explore/microsoft works work only sporadically, but often does not open and then I asks me to send an error report. When I try to stop, Windows Explorer will not work and asks me to send another report of error! ... Can not much experience with these things someone explain what I can do? (I ran a virus scan, and all seems ok)
Thank youHi Mike,.
According to my experience, this kind of behaviour is symptomatic of the corruption of data on the hard drive. However, since you say that these applications work sometimes I am inclined to suspect that your hard drive may be failing, possibly with errors in sector where those applications reside.
I suggest that you take a backup copy of the any of your own data files and then run a CHKDSK command on your hard drive to see what he finds (this can make a right click on the HARD drive in my computer icon, then select Properties, then the Tools tab.) Check disk utility is at the top).
If it detects too many bad sectors, and then looking to replace the hard drive and reinstalling your system.
Kind regards

French names for applications 'Windows Explorer' and 'File Explorer '?
I'm updating documentation and noticed that "Windows Explorer" (win7) and 'File Explorer' (win8) are mentioned in the French translations.
When you use the french language pack, these applications use the English names, or is there the French names for them?Thank you.Hey,.
-Are what documents you referring? Personal work or associated Windows?
-What version of Windows is installed on your computer? Is - this Windows 7 or Windows 8?
If you have installed the French language pack, then some of the applications (Windows 8) will be displayed with the french names and rest will appear in English because the version of Windows installed on the computer will be in English. If you have installed the version French of Windows, then the interface of Windows will be in french, and if you add an English language pack, then some of the apps will appear in English.
So, if you don't want the french names on applications, then please check the language packs installed (and the current language pack used) and change it to English.
