  Hi Nicolas,.

  I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

  I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

  Error: Windows Explorer has stopped working
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911/en-us

  Note:
  1) data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  2) after the boot minimum troubleshooting step, read the sections "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  3) when you do the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  4) note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

  Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

• Windows Explorer does not respond, the applications do not open, System Restore does not work. Help!

  Hello, my computer is having a lot of problems, which started last night. Here are the things that are run:

  -Windows Explorer does not respond
  -Computer cannot disconnect correctly: down/restarts when I close the computer says "disconnect" for hours.
  -Cannot use the system restore and may not even start from Safe Mode command prompt
  -Safe mode does not load
  -No applications work, apart from web browsers, and AVG.
  -Cannot access the drivers, to make anything back.

  I added not all strange programs and I do not think it is malware, but I can't actually run my anti-malware program. My computer is running really hot, what he has always done and I keep it high and the fan not covered (I'm broke, can't afford a fix of the computer, or the new computer).  Please talk is profane. I'm not all that techno.  THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

  The model is:

  M8622 laptop Gateway
  Vista Home Premium 32 Bit

  So I reinstalled everything, and even though it's a pain, my computer is normal again! Must have been a virus.

  Thank you very much for your help!

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

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  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
  Poster: 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 Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer 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 are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
  SCANNER - check manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

• After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

  Original title: Signature Collision?

  I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

  Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

  Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

  I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

  Can anyone help?
  Thank you

  Yes, easy to replace the HARD drive.

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1: Safe Mode and clean boot

  Check if the problem persists in safe mode. If the problem persists not in safe mode and check if the problem persists in the boot.

  Step 1: Safe Mode

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

  See the following site:

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode.

  Step 2: Clean boot

  When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

  Check out the link:

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

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 of article to reset your computer to normal startup.

  Note: If in case you are connected through a wireless connection and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check see topic wireless are turned on (Enabled).

  Method 2: Perform a virus scan by using the Microsoft Safety Scanner

  Analyze the computer to remove all possible malicious content.

  See the following site:

  Microsoft safety scanner

  http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 3: Auditor of the filesystem (SFC) Scan

  SFC scan will find all missing or incorrect system files and repairs them.

  See the site:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  You have this problem when you try to open any program or is it just some of them?
