Windows Explorer-constantly does not

Help!

For 3-4 weeks, my computer had problem after problem: almost all the programs I opened works fine until I try to get out of this program, then the message "(nom dele de programme) not responding" appears. " This is by far the worst with Windows Explorer. Whenever I try to open it to a video file, picture or any other file type, I am hardly able (and a lot of time not able) to even find him before the message. With Windows Explorer, it is even not 30 seconds before the message appears and must restart Windows Explorer. I had to use programs other than windows Explorer just to make a few basic things, like a video of opening or deleting a file. I am considering buying Windows 7, although it will be a while from now. I need to find a solution and I have limited Internet access and can not and not buy anything online, so basically I have one that I can buy a local store for cheap or need a free fix.                         Can someone please help?

Hello

Explorer Windows and IE are closely related to most of the things that also affect influential IE on Windows Explorer and
That's why other programs. So try these two methods.

1. which antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

not better?

IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  • Windows Explorer (Vista) does not display the complete list of Favorites

    In the current w / last week, my IE (9) does not open a Favorites folder.


    (It is large enough - maybe entered 800 (I can't check. beak of this problem).)
    Then I noticed that Windows Explorer will never complete if I asked him to show the contents of this folder.
    (It shows a lot, but then never finished.)
    Worse, even if I peut stop it, if I try to go to another folder, it tries to display the original folder again.
    Worse, if I kill this window, the explorer.exe process continues to face of ~ 100% of my (two processor!) CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT.

    Kill this process is not (even later) to get me a new Windows Explorer, & so I have to shut down or restart.
    Malwarebytes Pro says that my system is clean.
    .. .as is dskchk (sp?)
    I tried to isolate the problem by doing a binary search:
    • Find ~1/2 files in the offending file.
    • Move them to a new folder.
    • See if there is still an offending folder.
    .. but it took forever, because I keep falling on this problem that I try to do this last step.
    I'm running out of ideas!

  • In Windows 7, selecting "Automatically expand to current folder" in Windows Explorer, it does not work

    In Explorer windows (win7... new laptop...?) activating the box "Automatically expand to current folder" does not work. I went through tons of forums and no one can answer this recurrent problem.

    If I navigate through the folders in the left pane using the arrow keys: the right pane should follow! and display the contents of the folder.

    What is the difference with the guys who claim that this box, it's employment and tons of guys for whom this box makes no difference at all including me?

    Please provide a solution! Many of us will enjoy!

    OK, so now that I've been messing around with this problem its as magically started working for the first time (within 6 months) on my personal laptop...

    I think I know what fixed it. I remember toggling the 'automatically expand to current folder' option in right mouse click an empty link in the navigation pane (it was already placed on). When I did it first, it did not work. I remember deselection and then selecting once again, and it still doesn't work. I went back to folder options and (this is where it gets fuzzy) I think I've deselected and not selected again from there, still no luck.

    So I opened the registry to verify automatically expand them to current folder key is set to 1. It was so I let fall, don't make any changes to the registry. I posted the above comment and left my PC, still running, no reset.

    9 hours later I come home and hey presto all his work.

    Go figure.

    Now that his work, using the Folder Options box still does not work with it all - either to the value on or off. Using a right-click in the browser window works, but the effect is not immediate. We need to change at least a folder selection (double click on a folder) in the file list pane before the change takes effect.

    I'll test this fix some information on other portable dozens that have this problem and present the results here.

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    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.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    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.

    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?

    To the extent wherever it is the registry, I must ask, * how * you have come to this conclusion?  Not that I'm defending something - I was wondering what you did to decide who is not your registry database?  (Side: I agree with you.)

    That's what * I * would call cleaning and optimization of a Windows XP machine:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

    Cleaning the components of update on your Windows XP computer

    While probably not 100% necessary-, it is probably a good idea at this time to ensure that you continue to get the updates you need. This will help you ensure that your system update is ready to do it for you.

    Download and run the MSRT tool manually:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
    (Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)

    Reset.

    Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
    (Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
    (Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

    Reset.

    and...

    Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
    ... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on theroot of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

    Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

    AutoScan--> RUN and type:
    %SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
    --> Click OK.

    (If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

    Reset.

    Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    Reset.

    Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing youpouvez wish to make:

    Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

    If you want, come back and let us know a bit more information on your system - particularly the brand / model of the system, you have - and maybe someone here can guide you to the place s x of law to this end. This isn't 100% necessary - but I'd be willing to bet that you would gain some performance and features in making this part.
