• Windows explore crashes on right-click

  Whenever I do a right click on a file in Windows Explorer, I get a message that Windows Explorer has stopped working and then it shut downto the office.  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a gateway GT5228. It has 2 GB of ram and unused 140 GB hard disk.  I've been running Vista for about a year and the problem just started a week ago.  I hope someone has a suggestion because at the moment I can't delete or rename anything.  I ran a software antivirus and anti spyware and found nothing.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  You probably don't want to disable one at a time.  Try groups of 20 or 30 at a time.  I'm not sure you need restart between trials.  Some extensions of the sample I tested were immediately disabled and right click on a file did not show the options for this extension.  It wouldn't surprise me that you will not be able to disable each extension.  Work with those that you can and see if something helps you.  Look in the 'File name' column and suspect that any file that begins with "------" or a drive letter that does not correspond to a hard drive on your system.

  If you do not want to use RegScanner, do the same with Regedit.  Run Regedit (start-> Run-> 'regedit'), simple click on 'My Computer' to select it, make an edition-> find, enter your------the field search and click "next".  It stops at the next occurrence.  Press the F3 key to find the one that follows after that.  I think you will find that there are many references to '-', some occurring in places that you probably want to touch.  Unless you know what you're doing, editing the registry can be dangerous.  Always back up the registry first before making any changes.

  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.

• Explorer crashes when right click on a drive letter

  I use windows 7. I have 2 ssd drives and a HARD drive. I alos have DRUNK drives on USB ports. Whenever I right-click a drive to see how much free space there is on the disc, the Explorer locks and indicates his tent to find a solution to the problem and then restart Explorer. I really need a way to see how much free space on the disks.

  Thank you

  Moved from feedback

  Hi Beakbryce,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I see from the description of the problem that you are unable to check how much free space there are on a drive and an Explorer Windows locks when you try to check the same.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

  To provide the proper resolution, that I would need more information on your side.

  1. do you receive any error messages?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer before this problem?

  This behavior can occur if the there is a conflict between third-party applications, or if there is no corrupted system file.

  Method 1:
  Let's start with the computer in Mode safe start to check if the problem occurs in Mode without failure. If the problem does not occur in Mode safe, then you can try to set up your computer in a clean boot state to find what startup item or service is causing the problem.

  Step 1:
  To restart in Safe Mode follow the steps.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  If the problem does not occur in Mode safe mode, and then try to perform the clean boot.

  Step 2:
  To perform Clean boot follow the procedure below.

  By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest that you run SFC [System File Checker] scan on the computer that could scan all protected files to verify their versions to verify if there is any changes made to the files and if there is no corrupt files. And will replace them with the correct version.

• 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?

• Windows Explorer crashes failed msvcr90.dll

  Friends

  I have this most annoying problem. It happens on my computer and the computer of a friend. I have Vista Pro 64 bit and my friend a Windows 7 Home Premium, also 64-bit.

  We both use the same two programs for a specific project, we want to do. A program is a data management program called FieldWorks, where export us the data in the format of LibreOffice. I think that this problem started during the installation of LibreOffice and then begins to export stuff in the program of FieldWorks.

  Very often, when we click on an exported file in .odt (LibreOffice) on the desktop, or simply click anywhere in a folder on the desktop, where we store .odt files, then immediately the Windows Explorer crashes with the following error message:

  Explorer Windows has stopped working. Windows can check online... Check online... The details of the problem are:

  Problem signature: problem event name: BEX64 Application name: the Explorer.EXE Application Version: 6.0.6002.18005 timestamp of the Application: 49e02a1e fault Module name: MSVCR90.dll fault Module Version: 9.0.30729.6161 fault Module Timestamp: 4dace4e7 Exception offset: Code of Exception 00000000000552d 4: c0000417 data exception: 0000000000000000 OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.256.6 locale ID: 1033 additional information 1: complementary 46e0 2 information: information additional 4ce498f1e2ebb3719af008d4ef97bedc 3 : 7 d 05 additional information 4: 729ac305dabb24e28fbe99019ecbbab7
  Also my friend and I get the exact same message and the same fault Module name and version. It can happen several times in a row, insofar as we cannot get to any of the .odt files in the folder via the Windows Eplorer window or desktop, but I got a remove the .odt file in a command window.  Otherwise just Explorer to crash. :-(

  I tried many things to fix this, among them:
  1. I re-entered the msvcr90.dll
  2. I learned that it is the program of MS Visual C++ 2008 that installs this msvcr90.dll and use it
  3. I removed all instances of MS Visual CC ++ Vista computer
  4. I removed all instances of the msvcr90.dll and restarted. Then I made sure that no file with this name has appeared again.
  5. even after that I still get this crash explore with this error message about this being the fault module msvcr90.dll!
  6. I used Windows find defective or missing files, sfc scannow. No gain.

  How this possible error, if there is no msvcr90.dll is left on the system? And no Visual C++ 2008?

  I then tried to reinstall MS Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable to see if that helped, but once again no change. :-( The same error came once again. This version of Visual C++ have not yet installed a version of msvcr90.dll but a msvrc100_XXX.dll

  Until I deleted the MS Visual C++ 2008 (and 2005 and 2010) of my system, I noticed that the existing msvcr90.dll was not even the same version that says that this error report is the version of the Module of fault!

  I am quite at a loss here. What can I do to solve this problem, which is annoying and time consuming? I could send one .odt files, someone at Microsoft to look at, or what?

  Thank you
  Calle2012

  The shlxthdl_x64.dll, which is at version 3.6.1.2, is a component of LibreOffice.

  The error that you are experiencing seems to be a known issue:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52078

  This problem can be fixed in an update of LibreOffice, so make sure you're running the latest version.

  If you are running the latest version of LibreOffice or if the error persists you can try the following:

  Go to the following folder:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \LibreOffice 3.6\program\shlxthdl

  In this folder, right-click and rename the shlxthdl_x64.dll to shlxthdl_x64.old.
