Windows Explorer are invisible? (among other problems)

After update the display driver for my ATI Radeon HD 6450 to the latest beta, I immediately experienced some major glitches, such as my resolution reducing drastically to the point where I could see a small segment of my screen magnified to fill my entire screen and multi-line appearing during the largest part of the screen when I clicked color. These problems went away after a reboot, but new arose instead. The first thing I noticed was that my task bar and google chrome themes had been returned to default and I could not change the taskbar to the theme I had before. In addition, my mouse disappears when it touches the top of the screen. When you open "My computer", the icon appears in the taskbar, but the window does not appear. When I click the icon, I see the animation of the blue bar that should be on the top of the wind window near the top of the screen before disappearing, as if the window opens, but it is invisible. I uninstalled all my AMD drivers and tried again, but nothing had changed. I then install the last non-beta version of the suite software catalyst, which also didn't make any difference. It would be appreciated if someone could give me a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling me my OS, but if it's inevitable, so that will have to do. The invisible windows is my main concern, but a fix for my other problems would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello

Sorry, it took so long to answer, I've corrected the problem shortly after my second post. It turns out that the cause of my trouble was a program called air, which allows a Tablet android or iPad to be used as a second monitor. I had it installed well before these problems started, but, strangely, when I uninstalled it because I was told that it prevented a certain racing game, my computer was completely back to normal.
Thanks for trying to help but anyway!

  • Firefox 5 does not work with the AVG and Google toolbar, among other problems

    I downloaded Firefox 5, invited by Filehippo. Among other things, my anti-virus sw were not compatible, the Google toolbar disappeared and could not be put back because I was using an old browser! I did a system restore with the result that Firefox did not work at all. I went back to version 4, only because a guardian program requires firefox, otherwise I'd returned to Windows Explorer. It cost me a lot of valuable time.

  • Windows Explorer does not and sound problems

    I'm running Vista (home edition) on a laptop and I'm having problems with my windows Explorer. The other day it was working fine and I have updated to service pack 2, after he installed my computer went crazy! My exporer windows keeps "not responding" and whenever he "closed the program" my office went nuts it shows not all of the icons (on my desktop) until I raised the Task Manager and the taskbar kept resetting itself to I don't know what. I would go in the taskbar properties and sometimes he let me check the power, network and sound icons and sometimes it would be grey so I could not. I uninstalled the update and it seems to work very well a bit, windows Explorer still fails sometimes well. What is really bugging me, is that a previous update messed with my sound, so sometimes I have to go into the Device Manager and disable then enable the sound to get it back (the driver is up-to-date). But sometimes the Explorer is not responding so I feel like I'm going in circles! The other problem is that after installing service pack 2 is my computer guard with "unexpected cases" and it still occurs even after uninstalling service pack 2. Does anyone have any ideas what the hell is happening? I ran all my software, adware, spyware viruses and everything else so I know that my computer is clean. It is service pack 2 or is it my computer? Also, I have an idea of what I'm doing, so I'm not a complete fool. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I don't have my 5 cups of coffee yet this morning.

    Exactly what virus was this?

    Almost certainly you don't has completely failed to clean the
    computer upward. Keep in mind the following three things:

    1. MalwareBytes anti-malware is an anti-spyware program and
    nothing to clean up viruses.

    2 PC Tools antivirus is a bad choice of an anti-virus program. For
    an antivirus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
    run several) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials

    3. in the course of the run Registry Mechanic has been a very bad thing to do and it can be
    responsible for the problems that you are experiencing now. Cleaning the registry
    the programs are all snake oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary
    and is dangerous. Let alone register and do not use any registry
    cleaner. Despite what many people think and what providers of registry
    cleaning software try to convince you to have unused registry
    entries is not really make you hurt.
    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.
    Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html

    and http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099

    and also
    http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

  • Removal of a superfluous notification in Windows Explorer area

    The notification area large enough in Windows Explorer which is at the bottom, between the status bar and in the list of files, provides redundant data.

    There is an option in the View Menu to turn off the display of the status bar, but there is no reference to this notification area.

    Can you delete this notification area to free up more screen space to the list of files and folder?

    Nowhere in the manuals gives error codes.

    Just to add insult to injury, there is no registration card. HP guarantees this thing? With these many problems, why t - you buy HP?

    Hi Don,

    Thanks for the reply.

    To resolve the problem with the preview pane, you can try these methods.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you scan the computer to verify that there is no infection by the virus, using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Microsoft safety scanner will help us to get rid of software viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note:

    1) the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I would say allowing you to run the auditor of file system (CFS) analyze and check if it helps.

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.

  • "Windows Explorer has stopped working" - help!

    Running Vista HP, sp 2.

    Firewall on the router & McAfee.

    WE automatic updates of windows

    In the last two days, I get "Windows Explorer has stopped working" pretty constantly.  Not the kind of endless loop, just whenever I try to use it, it will give the errmsg, close, claim that it restarts and fail to do so.

    I've had a scout quick tour here for solutions and tried all that is obvious:

    (1) run the System File Checker (Nothing found)

    (2) run chkdsk (Nothing found)

    (3) installed and run a-squared (found nothing)

    (4) off the display of thumbnails (past again)

    (5) started in SafeMode (past again)

    FWIW, a few other applications have the same problem, for example Adobe Acrobat will crash all trying to save a file, to the point where it's the folder view.  And Acrobat and Windows Explorer are broken only if you try to display all drives on the computer.  If you start to US at a lower level, in 'my documents' therefore very well with what he shows you.  If you then scroll down to 'computer' and click to enlarge, this is the point where it crashes.

    However, other applications (such as Word) can access and save items to this level, for example I can save a word doc on my phone as another drive of the word itself, although if I tried to slide anywhere in US it would be crushed before I could even see the phone was there.

    My hunch is that it started with what seems to be a Windows Update absolutely unrelated to C++ security two days ago.  But it could be a complete diversion.

    Any ideas?  I'm reaching the end of my tether here.

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
