Windows Explorer crashes and some actions, such as copying a file, are often dismissed by an error message

Since I switched to Windows 7 last year (a new computer), I had problem with Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer).  (1) when I try to save a Word document in an existing folder, I get a message that says that I have no authority to modify files at this level.  If I record again, he will save but then IT breaks down (i.e. goes white and the monitor is frozen).  (2) if I open a record in US and right-click on a file, rather than not we'RE going to crash right here - same scenario.

It happens from time to time but now it happens almost every time I have use US or try to save a file.

I think I have solved the problem!

I found a site like the one I had last year.  As a result of his leadership, I did the following:

1. right click on the Windows Explorer icon.  Right click on properties.  On the shortcut tab, under target, I found this parameter: % windir%\explorer.exe/n, / e, / select c:\users\alf\dropbox

2. I deleted this setting and by the following cela: c:\users\alf.

Now, it seems to be functioning normally and WE default to the folder 'alf', where my main data is stored.

Does make sense?

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 provided in the above article.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of 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.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  • 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.

  • Guard Windows Explorer crashing and restarting

    Hi all

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on a Toshiba laptop. Yesterday afternoon, this "Explorer stopped responds" / "reboot...". "begun loop that I couldn't solve. I was not doing something special when he started to occur, no new installs, no new program, just browse the Internet with Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer Beta (all 3 for various reasons not related to the problem). Here are the things I've tried so far:

    1 system restore - unable to do because apparently, even if it was lit, "0" space has been assigned to the and there is no restore point
    2 safe Mode - does the same thing
    3. clean the Boot - did the same thing
    4 sfc/scannow - no integrity problem found
    5 chkdsk - no problems found
    6. Norton Internet Security 2011 Full System Scan - no problems found

    I spent over 6 hours trying to solve this problem, including 2 Norton analysts, trying to help through the support of the remote control. Only thing, they found a malware 'hack' through a combination of a-squared one of them installed, removal of which had absolutely no effect on the problem.

    I was able to disable (complete the process stops the loop but it means that I have no bar of tasks/desktop/folders)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you.

    (If possible, I prefer not to reinstall windows, format my hard drive or install a third-party program to "fix" for this problem)

    Just to make the clear solution for future reference:

    Go to Event Viewer (open Manager jobs by Ctrl + Alt + Delete, click on 'file'-> 'break-in' type "eventvwr.msc" for Event Viewer) to see what type of program is made a mistake in addition to Windows Explorer (2 errors showed on every restart Windows Explorer). Look at the path of the file for the second error. E.g.

    Activation context generation failed for "c:\program files\real\realplayer\plugins\rmxrend.dll." Load Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT, processorArchitecture = "x 86" publicKeyToken = "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", type = "win32", version = "9.0.21022.8" was not found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

    Note the main program (in this case realplayer). Then follow these steps, in order, until Windows stops crashing:

    1. ensure that the problems causing program is up-to-date, otherwise, update.

    2 Uninstall (go to the Manager of task-> type 'file'-> 'run' in "appwiz.cpl" for Add/Remove Programs)

    3. If #2 working, reinstall it and see if the problem is still present. If this is the case, uninstall and keep it uninstalled.

    My problem was caused by RealPlayer and went away once I uninstalled it. My realplayer has been updated and reinstall the back problem, so bye bye realplayer.

  • Windows Explorer Crash when using the control panel

    This is the type of an interesting question that happens to me only sporadically and usually only to a cold start.

    When I shut down the computer completely for cleaning or install something, when restarting, open the Control Panel causes Windows Explorer to crash (note that this is not Internet Explorer).

    It restarts immediately, but I lost some of the icons in the taskbar - especially the icon Sound Max.

    If I do a reboot it comes back and I can use the Control Panel normally. Tried to remove items from the start menu, as obviously something is in conflict when it starts but it is like shooting in the dark to find the good start. I even reinstalled W7 with a lot of attention, but it happens once again from time to time. I ran sfc/scannow several times and all is well.

    As long as I don't do a cold reboot it will work very well for weeks without a hitch. (Please no comments about just don't).

    Someone else has a similar problem? My specs are lower and it has not changed when I updated to the latest version of the bios so I suspect something on W7, and I strongly suspect the driver SoundMax which is in fact very old for W7X64.

    All updates are underway, including the latest which was supposed to increase stability for W7 X 64. I had added this update 4/28. An accident 29/4 good. I uninstalled the update and re-installed directly from the microsoft link. Sometimes it works, but not in this case.

    I studied all the information mentioned in the error codes and most of the time, it led to speculation of different people to different causes. I've read that it could be a conflict with the driver Sound Max, this is why I suspect as well that it might involve the Nvidia GPU driver. Changed the GPU driver and no joy. Whenever I have ask W7 to check a solution that is not found. So, it happens once in a while, but there is nothing wrong? At least Microsoft knows something is happening--evidence of the update.

  • Media players and windows Explorer crash

    Hello

    Recently I got this problem where my windows Explorer crashed whenever I opened Control Panel, specifically, whenever I tried to view the system information. I tried a few "solutions" that I saw on the internet nothing has worked so far - this all started about 2 months ago, when I tried to update my graphic drivers.

    Then a few days ago I was watching movies with my laptop and I fell asleep while the film was presented, my laptop is not plugged the battery flat overnight. When I woke up and return the laptop computer he would play no matter what video file with any of my media players (Windows Media Player, GOM or VLC) - when I try to open the video file, it simply says that GOM/VLC/WM has stopped working, then closes.

    Important notes:

    -I am able to watch movies if I boot in safe mode (there is simply no sound.)

    -I can also go in control panel - system of information if I boot in safe mode.

    -I am running windows 7 (with the latest updates)

    -J' use a pavilion dv6.

    -All music files open with media players, the problem is just video files.

    I suspect it's a graphics related question, but I'm not sure. It works as it should when it is in safe mode, but I don't know how to say what is causing the problem.

    Many thanks for any help :)

    Hi Mithrandir,

    I found the problem!

    I updated the graphics driver and that seemed to do the trick - the players videos play in all media and is not any control panel crash or media players.

    The only problem I have now is that after the backlight driver update does not work (although it is a driver issue it seems that many people have had) - I was wondering if you know if it is possible to reinstall the previous driver (not just go back to it, but have in fact all this re installed because I think there's maybe a corrupt file or something like that which was causing the) problem)

    So, as I thought it was the graphics driver that caused the outcome...

  • Windows Explorer crashes every 2 Minutes like clockwork

    Hello

    A quick Google search, it seems a lot of people have this problem, but with a few differences.
    My problem is that for these last two days, Windows Explorer has started crashing, almost like clockwork, almost every 2 minutes or more (as confirmed its reliability). I tried everything I know to find the problem, but came to nothing.
    Here are my specs:
    Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
    Intel Core 2 Duo PC TG5750 @ 2.00GHZ
    RAM: 2.0 GB
    I tried to run Windows Update to see if that would help, but it's not download anything. It just happens to 0KB and 0% and nothing happens. Naturally, when Windows Explorer hangs, it must update Windows with it.
    I ran a few system cleared my startup speed performance, but nothing else. He does not come back on other potential failures.
    I looked at doing a system restore, but it says that there is no restore point. I created one, but this is obviously useless as the restore point is now in the scenario where Windows Explorer crashes.
    I can still run programs like Outlook or Google Chrome, but Windows Explorer plant, yet no matter what I do. I have installed all the programs in the last two days so I'm really at a loss as to what is happening.
    I also restarted my computer several times, to no effect.
    Other that completely re install Windows using the installation disc, I don't know.
