This happens with any file or a particular file?

Have you tried the copy command from a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)?

For the full syntax of the copy command, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490886.aspx

    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:

    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.

    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!

    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:.)

  • Robocopy hangs when you try to copy a file which in use

    Hello

    I find that Robocopy hangs when you try to copy the file using, for example an Outlook .pst file. The behavior of Vista was not to copy the file according to the retry and wait switches from command line, which allowed the backup race move to the next file and finally finish. With Windows 7 the Robocopy session is suspended and resumes ever, even if the file she is trying to copy is closed.

    Is this behavior under Robocopy in Windows 7? Is it possible to get Robocopy to move to the file according to when he's trying to copy a file that is in use?

    Thank you

    Jason.

    "There is no need of me a pause in my script"-Yes, I understand [and should have done before].

    I just tested a network for the first time operation.  It hangs forever as your done even after I closed Outlook & waited for the w: 30 I put.  {I also ran with closed Outlook the first time just to make sure that the network itself had no problems}

    I read that you have provided the link.  This suggests that there is no solution.

    - - - - - - -

    You seem to be doing a lot more & probably more structured than mine operation, this workaround might not be of any use to you.  The other open files issue concerns a simple hourly backup of my kernel files that includes pst files.

    1 I xcopy all the files in a folder internal InterimBackup first.  Can I use XCopy or RoboCopy to send InterimBackup to the real destination.

    2 If Outlook is open then it will copy on InterimBackup and, if the previous Outlook.pst is still in InterimBackup she gets deleted by the attempt of xcopy.  [conclusion - XCopy verifies the existence of the replacement of a file, deletes it and only then discovered that the source file is locked and cannot be copied.]

    So I precede this with

    0 I run [if exists] copy D:\InterimBackup\Outlook.pst to D:\InterimBackup\Outlook2.pst

    The result is that whole process always ends but it only includes the last Outlook.pst that was available.  So I always make a point of Outlook to quit at some point during the day so that he could take part in this backup.

    If you have also tried this as a two part operation, your xcopy / robocopy in the folder InterimBackup would always succeed but would include only Outlook.pst if you had first closed the application.  Subsequent operation of RoboCopy would always succeed with the same possible omission.

    The downside of this might not suit your overall goal.  You'd have to RoboCopy separately all your others folder trees but keep the Outlook.pst in a tree that has not been included.  You could do this either by restructuring of your data or using RoboCopy exclude switches for the file Outlook.pst file.

    You have to accept that you might not be sure about the last time that the Outlook file had been included unless you had deliberately run the RoboCopy closing.

    I have reviewed this improvement by using Task Scheduler to respond in the event of closing Outlook and use it to initiate the copy outlook.pst to InterimBackup, then by running the part of the main operation on RoboCopy to this folder.  But my needs are so simple that I've never felt it's the logs of the events that I would have to put in place.

    As I say, it may not meet your needs.

  • 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://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 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!

  • When you try to copy a file 'trust' in Vista, get the message 'Copy as administrator'

    I have a computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), in which I am an administrator on the computer. I have a file that is "safe" and requires administrator permission to open. Since I am an administrator, I was able to open the file. But when I tried to cut or copy the file, a message appears that I need administrator permissions to open it! Similarly, some programs that create other files (images, for example) must be open as follows so that you can actually save a picture: right click > run as administrator . If you do not open the program in this way, access is denied when you try to save a picture. But back to my account. Like programs, is it possible that I can 'copy as administrator' or 'cut as administrator'?

    I discovered how to copy and paste files using a single command line. Unfortunately, you can't copy the files, not folders. Here's how to copy a file:

    1. Open command prompt
    2. type "copy" without the "sign, while simple letters
    3. press the SPACEBAR once
    4 type the location of the file you want to copy (for example: C:\Users\default_user\file.txt)
    5. press the space bar once more
    6. type in the destination that you want to copy the file (for example: Folder\destination C:\New folder)
    7. press enter and your file should be copied.

    I have never had any problems to copy files to a flash drive in the past, but recently, I encountered this problem.

    Hello

    The same information on the key USB applies to map drives
    so do not put all the files and folders to the root of the drive.

    Have you tried the card in other card readers? Sometimes the reformatting
    the map will refresh it.

    ======================================================

    It is the troubleshooter for the readers of SD cards which of course is very similar.

    If you can not get the card reader to work, it can be replaced or an external card reader is not
    Dear.

    They go bad sometimes. Try these:

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 when you start then look at the screen - make sure that the USB port is enabled.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Control Panel - Device Manager - hard disk - drive SD card or similar - double click - tab driver-
    Click on update drivers (this likely will do nothing that MS is far behind the certifying drivers) then right click
    following the UNINSTALL.

    Now bring the controllers USB - right click - UNINSTALL everything in category one at time EXCEPT
    the category itself - REBOOT. This will refresh the USB driver stack.

    Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Do 1 above.

    USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices currently connected to your computer, as well as
    all USB devices that you previously used. Run Options and check the 1st three choices to see if one is
    it. you can remove all instances of the drive and restart again.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/usb_devices_view.html

    Start - type in the search box - Windows Disk - find Windows Disk Management on the list above.
    Right-click - look RUN AS ADMIN to see if there is a drive letter assigned or a conflict.

    Check with the manufacturer of your system for the updated drivers - some card readers to do not use windows

If I boot in safe mode, I get the same thing. I applied http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976972 and it did not help me. Help, please!

    I have Dell XPS9000, Win7 Premium, x 64, I7/920, Nvidia 260, 12 GB of RAM

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply Thahaseena. I think a lot of people have the same problem and it's partially the fault of Microsoft. It is the solution of the problem that works for most people if the heart of the problem is corrupt USB driver (s). The USB driver might get damaged due to defective USB device. This was my case. I bought the 16 GB Sandisk USB which has serious problems. It seems that it is real default, rather than fake. However, I am still investigating.

    This is what happens:

    -Start the copy of the file and at one point gets stuck. After all, you get that infamous error 0 x 80070079. If you try to shoot this defective USB before the error pops out, it's really dangerous abduction of USB that could cause corruption of the driver for the USB controller. This happened to me. So, after this point, none of the USB devices will be capable of the greatest copy files 1 GB +, because my USB drivers are now corrupt and and the transfer is slower. Fast devices and more small files work great, but if you have low speed USB 2.0 device it will not be able to complete the transfer of files at one time and you will receive the error.

    Solution:

    -Stop using the defective device to avoid a repetition of the problem (if you know who is defective). If you do not know, must be eliminated one by one.

    -Disconnect all USB cables except the keyboard cable (at least that is not based USB)

    -Use tabs and the arrows on the keyboard to get to Device Manager

    -Remove all usb drivers, including the one that is connected to the keyboard

    -You may need to force the closure - the dawn of the computer.

    -Do not turn on computer. Get on your knees and unplug the power cord. If you forget this step, the process of booth PC will load faulty driver again. (faulty or bad it depends on the scenario)

    -By unplugging the power cord and let it stay for at least 5 minutes, you force your PC to renegotiate the devices and drivers

    -Connect all USB cables

    -Check the usb status icon in the status bar. Sometimes, you may need to restart the computer if windows asks you to do. Restart the computer if you are not sure what I'm talking about.

    - and... Here we are. Bingo!

    Now, if you plug the faulty device once again, you will need to repeat the process. However, in my case I return to the seller or the manufacturer for repair. You can use this procedure to force the outcrop of USB drivers. That's why I say I blame partially Microsoft for that matter because there is no utility or command available to force this action automatically do that when the problem occurs. This could potentially help people with the question when a few USB ports stop working if its pilots involved.

    If it worked for you, please press useful Votes.

    Thank you.

  • 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
