• Windows Explorer crashes when you open any folder with MPEG2 files.

  WinXP SP3 - When you open any folder with MPEG2 files, windows Explorer crashes. If the folder contains only the MPEG1 files, it opens without a problem. We first thought it was a problem of media player, but we can not even click on a file to open it in media player.

  Hi kathyd,.

  ·        You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

  Since we do not know what is causing this problem, I'd suggest unanimous the event viewer on your computer and check the details in the window logs messages/error codes important related to the question, during the time where this problem occurs and after return.

  Event logs can help you identify and diagnose the source of current system problems or help you predict potential system problems.

  Access the link below to learn how to view and manage the event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308427

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/event_overview_01.mspx?mfr=true

  You can try to start both computers in safe mode and check if it can open the folder where the MPEG 2 files are stored and if windows Explorer crashes. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

  I hope this helps. Post back with the required information.

• Windows Explorer crashes when the click with the right button on folders

  My Windows Explorer crashes whenever I right click on a folder, any folder.  It is for me a "Windows Explorer has stopped working" then it gives me a warning 'Windows restarts.  Then he closes my Explorer window.  I tried many things to see if that would help and nothing has done so far.  Anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this problem or knows what could be the problem?

• Cannot activate windows, or use the control panel

  After searching the forum, I decided to post that I couldn't find something that relates to my question.  I've never had a problem like this before, nor have I heard of someone having a problem like this before.

  I had a problem where multiple items in Control Panel do not work.  First of all, I thought I might miss an update, but that didn't work either.  I remembered that I have been turned off of the windows activation.  When I go in Panel of-> system and click "you must activate today. Activate Windows now" nothing happens. Nothing at all.

  I first encountered this problem when I was trying to manage my firewall settings: Panel-> control panel all the elements-> Windows Firewall-> authorized programs.  

  Trying to allow a program through Windows Firewall. When I tried to click on "Allow another program" the same thing happened (absolutely nothing happened).  I followed this with trying to turn off my windows firewall completely, expecting the OS to get out the big warning saying that my computer is not protected please reactivate, etc..  I turned both outside the home and private and Public networks OFF and clicked on OK, and once again, nothing happened.

  I don't know how long this problem has affected my computer, because I did not need to change the settings of Windows for at least a couple of months.  Other things I tried to do that it does include:

  User accounts:

  Change your account name

  Change your account type

  Manage another account

  Thanks for the replies. I tried the suggestions the two first suggestions J W of Stuart, as well as a defragmentation. After these things, that I tried to run the repair installed and I couldn't do it, he could not see one of my old files. So I had to do a fresh install. Fortunately I did not lose a lot.  Thanks for the replies.

  One of the recurring errors in Event Viewer was the 'Source' following 'KScsiPrt ':

  The description for event ID 9 source KScsiPrt is not found. Either the component that triggers this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

  
  

  If the event is on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

  
  

  The following information has been included in the event:

  
  

  \Device\Scsi\KScsiPrt1

  Which may indicate a problem with the SCSI KernSafe controller.

  Can you try disabling the controller SCSI KernSafe in Manager devices as suggested hereand see if that makes a difference.

  You may need to restart the computer after you disable the driver.

  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?

  If you continue to experience the problem, consider creating the hierarchy of following registry keys in the registry:

  HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe\

  In the explorer.exe key, create a REG_EXPAND_SZ value named DumpFolder and set the value to%systemdrive%\localdumpsdata.  Ensure that the %systemdrive%\localdumps file exists, and then cause the crash to happen.  It must be a dump file in %systemdrive%\localdumps. Download the dump on your SkyDrivefile.

  (Letter is an environment variable that represents the system drive, usually C:.)

• Windows Explorer crashes when you open folders that contain pictures.

  From this point, I'm exasperated!  Whenever I try to open a folder containing images, windows Explorer crashes.

  I did a thorough check of the spyware.  I jumped through hoops attempting to clean the cache thumb and no joy.

  When it first started happening, I thought it was too many files in a folder.  That does not seem to resolve things for a while, but the problem is back.

  There may be too much data in the folder or the display on the screen.  You have pictures instead of icons in these records?  Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and check the box for display icons instead of thumbnails.  See if that solves the problem.

  If this isn't the case, create a single image and save the file.  Create a folder in Windows Explorer and save the file to this folder.  Try to open this file.  You have the same problem or does it work?  If this works, there may be something true in what you said about the size of the files.  If she has the same problem, then you must do some serious troubleshooting to try to find the cause and fix.

  I hope this helps. Keep me informed.

  Good luck!

• How can I access my computer in order to remove downloaded files that has not deleted using the control panel and the usual functions to delete?

  I recently received from remote assistance installed a new anti-virus program. During using the remote technician, I he observed several open windows because it deleted the files that were left by previous anti-virus programs on my computer.  These files prevent the download of the new program.  As I watched him navigate through my programs and files, I noticed that there are a lot of game files that have been deleted by using the functions of the control panel and uninstalling still in my computer.  The technician of 3-4 programs installed on my computer while he removed residual files of the antivirus and promptly removed from these programs when it was correctly installed my new anti-virus program.  I would really like to know how to access files or records what he did and then delete the game files that I thought were removed.  I downloaded at least 100 trial offers for sets of objects hidden over the years and you don't want no trace with my memory of the computer.  No help available out there?

• Windows Explorer crashes constantly on the new Asus

  I bought a new X53SV-SX288V Asus with windows 7 64 bit on it and after installing some programs Windows Explorer crashes constantly for some reason any...

  I have restored the pc to factory a couple of times now, hoping it might fix the problem, but it is persistent...

  Windows Explorer crashes often and sometimes it seems that the problem has disappeared, but then it happens randomly. When I restart the Explorer usually just, it freezes again and gives me the same error permanently after each restart of Explorer... it just crashes, restarts, block immediately, restart and so on...

  I don't know what to do. I'm not much of a geek...

  The thing is, the problem occurs only after you have installed programs. Not directly after the time I restore settings, is probably not a hardware problem (I think).

  Still, I installed an antivirus before anything else.
  First of all, I tried Comodo several times. Then Avira. And now I'm with AVG. Thus, all the programs I download should be good.

  Side note: programs Evernote who install are all widely used programs like CCleaner, Skype, iTunes, Chrome,... All of their own websites, so I do not understand how they are the problem.

  Is it possible that this is a problem material, even when the problem occurs only after you have installed (well known) programs?

  How to fix this problem?

  Here is the message that comes up with the error:

  Just to follow up on the post of madtor.

  The shell extension which seems to be the cause of the accident is the ASUSWSShellExt64.dll:

  Fault Module name: ASUSWSShellExt64.dll

  Fault Module Version: 1.1.0.27

  The ASUSWSShellExt64.dll appears to be from ASUS WebStorage software.

  The same problem has been reported in the following link:
