Windows Explorer crashes when you open Control Panel

• 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!

• 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.

• 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.

  Thank you and best regards,

  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 go to Flash Drive.

  Original title: Explorer windows compared to SD card

  lately, whenever I try to use a flash drive or plug in an SD card, windows Explorer stops responding.  I can't view the contents of the card player, and I have to restart windows Explorer.  I use Vista, and my antivirus (Kaspersky) is up-to-date and scanned for viruses.  I am at a loss.  as strange as it may seem, I believe that the issue is in some way associated with the USB ports (because I can insert an SD card into the SD slot and it works very well), my printer works great.

  Hey e_dante1,

  (1) it might be possible that Kaspersky scans the disk for the virus. Disable the same and see how it goes.

  (2) test in safe mode with network behavior. This disables all your third-party services and drivers to load and use Basic Windows drivers required to run it.

  Reference:

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Startup options (including safe mode)

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

  (3) if access to a flash drive or check his mail behaves normally in safe mode with networking, the problem boils down to conflict with other third-party applications installed. In this case, perform the clean boot to discover the guilty app. See: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  (4) get the update below which has fixes for the reliability issues in the USB components. Cumulative update rollup for USB in Windows Vista Basic components

  Notes:

  o ensure that you switch your computer to normal startup mode after completing the troubleshooting steps. Steps are available in the above article.

   

  o run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem.

• Explore Windows 7 crashes when you try to copy files, pictures, etc.

  I have Windows 7 and since a few weeks ago, every time I try to copy files, documents, photos from one folder to another or photos from my SD card to my computer, or unzip compressed files, when I try to paste, explore Windows crashes and closes.

  Can someone help me please.

  Thank you.

  If you mean that you see something like this:

  

  If this is the case, read this:

  Maybe you have a distressed Explorer Shell Extension.

  Several recent systems of the incidents involving Acer and MyWinLocker of EgisTec (which is already known to include some suspicious Explorer shell extensions) that could come preinstalled on your system.

  Even if your system is not at Acer there installed MyWinLocker and since there were many reports indicate that it contributes to crashes explore it seems a good place to start looking.

  If you look in your installed programs and find MyWinLocker or whatever it is of EgisTec and you don't know what that is, or why it is there consider just uninstall, restart, and then see how things work.

  If you have determined that MyWinLocker or any other program EgisTec intervene follow GP below, so you will be able to see all Explorer shell extensions.

  If you see all the extensions of EgisTec, software security PSD, eDataSecurity, DragDropProtect (they will be some of pink extensions) start with these first.

  If none of these things exist, continue:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program.  Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.

  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:

  

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Windows Explorer crash

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition (right click).  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  A user reported that it was necessary to restart the browser after each adjustment to do that press Ctrl-E since in ShellExView.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure.   You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.

  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

• Firefox crashes when you open no matter what context menu - Save as download window, window options, etc.

  This is the third time I had this problem with firefox...

  Firefox crashes when you try to upload images, files, etc. right click context menu opens (with bookmark, save the page, save the image, options etc) but after selecting an option, save the image or another, the real save as dialog box does not open and firefox crashes.

  say many pages open the download and clear history... I can't do that, trying to open the download hangs there, too. like, trying to open any what other dialogues.

  the first time that this has happened, the only solution I could find was a total wipe and re-install (simple uninstall/reinstall didn't work... it had to be weeded manually in the registry).
  the second time that I got just to rebuild my system, so I just do a fresh install on a fresh OS.

  This time I can't seem to solve the problem of uninstalling and re - install...

  Help?

  discovered what he was doing!

  After trying safe mode of firefox and safe mode of windows and any number of other things I gave a little upward for a bit there, but I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night thinking ' based on the conduct in question, it * must * be something in the shell that is the cause. " (Sorry, I dream of geek).

  so I grabbed a shell viewer editor - ShelleExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) (had to use a yucky, any browser to download) and gave him a race.

  I have listed all the extensions of the date they were added as a clsid and trying of think back to when the problem started... about a month or so, after a new system, reinstall. and through a little trial and error disabling, I found the culprit.

  It is an overlay Manager icon set by what is called WagerLogic. After looking into the company's name, I have to assume this was related to one of the annoying "just lost real money on our virtual casino" pop-ups that infest the net nefariously scenic for an easy mark as orphaned Dickens.

  I disabled it and voila! Firefox is still in full function.

• Captivate 6 crashes when you open the variable window

  Hello

  I must say that I get pretty bored with how buggy Captivate 6 turns out to be. It seems to hang a large part of the time (when you open a project or after publication) and publishes often with lots of red boxes instead of my images (even when my high quality setting). Nevertheless, I can work around this problem by emptying the cache, restart my computer etc but I can't seem to get around this last bug!

  For some reason, Captivate and keeps crashing when I try to open the variables window (via the menu at the top and through the window advanced actions). I tried emptying my cache and restarting my computer with no luck.

  I also captivate 5.5 installed, so I tried to open the window of variables in this field and it worked well, but once again, captivate 6 frozen when I went back to try again.

  Has anyone else had this problem before and there at - it a way to stop what is happening? I am running windows 7.

  Thanks in advance

  Rick

  Hi Rick,

  Try to recreate the 6 Captivate preferences. Then launch Captivate 6 as it is run as an administrator

  If the above suggestion does not work, then install 6 Captivate in a new admin account and test the bheavior of 6 Captivate.

  It may be useful

  Thanks and greetings
