• Explorer.EXE error after the restoration of the ERD Commander

  Dell Inspiron B130

  Windows XP Service Pack 2

  Recently performed a HD format and new installation of XP SP2. After I installed all the drivers and others, I checked that the system was operating normally. After a few days of use, Windows Update downloaded Service Pack 3 and asked me to install. I started to install SP3, but at about 50%, the laptop battery is dead at Midway through the installation. I plugged the laptop on the power source and power. I restarted the laptop and XP started only a completely black screen and the white slider. No ALT + CTRL + DEL, desktop icons, etc.

  I rebooted the laptop of ERD Commander, ran the restore system and selected the first available Restore Point. Point of restoration chosen was recorded a few days before, and was the first recorded point after the clean installed XP. I rebooted the XP system. Wallpaper loaded with white cursor, but NO start menu or desktop icon. A message appears saying "Explorer.EXE Application error, press OK to exit the application" or something very similar. Did not write the error code, but can get if necessary. If I press the OK button (which is my only option), there is still no icons on the desktop or the start menu. Only the cursor. No access ALT + CTRL + DELETE or something like that.

  Thinking about completely wipe the system and reinstalls the operating system. Any suggestions before I jump in this solution?

  Explorer.EXE error after the Restore Point of ERD Commander. Dell Inspiron B130. Recently clean installed XP SP2 on laptop. Installation of SP3, to 50%, battery dies the laptop right in the middle of the installation of the SP3 update. Restarted, XP starts with black screen with cursor only. ERD restart order and restore XP to the last known good config (I choose point immediately after XP clean install). Reboot to XP. Now the wallpaper shows as well as the error message saying "Explorer.exe Application error, click OK to exit Explorer" dialog and then I can't access anything. Any ideas?

  Hello

• Runtime error P6025 calling pure virtual function on program C:\Windows\Explorer.exe Windows 7

  On Windows 7 when I try to use the icon on the system tray, I get the following error: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error!  "Program: C:\Windows\Explorer.exe R6025 - virtual function call pure" I get every time when I use it but at least twice a week it happens.  I have another Explorer not open already.

  This type of error can be caused if the Visual C++ library runtime components are missing or because of a third-party software.

  Follow the steps below:
   
  Method 1:
  If the problem is caused by the lack of Visual C++ libraries, you can download and install the Runtime components of Visual C++ libraries from the link below:
   
  This error can occur when the Microsoft .NET Framework installation on the computer is damaged or is missing.

  Try it out below step to reinstall and repair installation of Microsoft .NET Framework on the computer, then check if you can install the software.

  (a) click the Start button, select Control Panel, click programs and then click on 'Turn Windows has or not.' If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (b) search for Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1 uncheck, click OK and restart the computer.

  (c) after the reboot, open again "Turn Windows features on or off" and place a check next to Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1 and restart the computer.

  Step 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you manually download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 Redistributable Package and check to see if you can install the software.

  In programs and features, you do not show that you have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable? If this is not the case, download the links here.

• "\?? \C:\Windows\Explorer.exe"cannot start or run due to incompatibility with the 64 bit version of windows

  A friend gave me your laptop to watch - there edition family vista (64 bit (I think) on it and when you try to run Explorer he says it does not find or access is denied and something about 16 bit / 64 bit (it has been a few days and I'm not memory clearly until what I try again tonight)

  "\?? \C:\Windows\Explorer.exe"cannot start or run due to incompatibility with the 64 bit version of windows"

  If you try to run a dll / Panel or anything like that, you will get an error message saying that it cannot run some 16-bit process or access denied.

  I did a lot of research on Google and nothing someone he said worked - which "everyone" giving full access to the C:\WINDOWS\Registration, executes a command secedit, a sfc/scannow, do a system restore to the point of older, make a new user account, start up in safe mode...

  So now I'm pretty stuck. I'm SURE I've seen this problem before with reference to 16-bit etc error messages, but in home edition I do not have the MMC users & groups (had to make new user with password renew then that starts in another environment) or the Security tab of the properties of file/folder for permissions NTFS etc (had to use icacls).

  Can someone enlighten us justice on that shiney? : o I don't want to have to redo the entire Setup, I'm sure it is something fixable...

  I guess that I didn't that I had seen the name "verclsid.exe" in some of these error messages trying to run things.  I looked and saw it was to check the files or something.
  Anyway I couldn't rename even in admin console so I started in a different environment and renamed the copy in system32 and syswow64.
  Now, I've started and bang things seem to be ok! I guess I should try and replace it with a known working version? That or just give back it.

• Windows Explorer stops working after that I have to use Windows Update

  Currently, using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit service pack 1. After that I restarted the computer to finish the update/install Windows I can't use the functions from the Start button. Any attempt also runs programs through the Task Manager is met even uselessness. I gives me the error that Windows Explorer has stopped working and restarts. However, all program shortcuts that I have on the desktop can be used.

  The only way to solve the problem for me is to use the system restore to take me to a previous time when I didn't have the problem. However if I try to update by using windows update I experience the problem again.

  Im trying to download update is Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 64

  Finally, I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, I don't know where to go. If posting in the wrong forum, I would appreciate a link to the right pair.

  -Josh

  Hi Josh, I had the same problem with Windows Explorer on a HP Vista Home Edition 64-bit computer, it would keep restart loop and stops also all the programs in the taskbar.

  I searched different forums and I tried different options, but nothing worked until someone said it might be a virus. I have Norton but it does not detect anything, so I tried Defender of Windows (that I had turned off because I had Norton) of Windows Defender found this startup program called mwau.exe to rest under C:\recycler\(random numbers...) but when I open the C: drive, I couldn't find anything manually, but there is no option to delete or disable it through Windows Defender.

  Then I Googled that name and found a software called free Antivirus "Malwarebytes anti-malware 1.41 ' recommended by CNET download.com, it's a small program, but I downloaded and ran, it found and removed this mwau.exe, I have not had problems with Windows Explorer after that, apparently mwau.exe means (I think) auto update for Microsoft Windows.» But after its removal, I have more problems. My updates of Windows runs as usual and I get new updates as usual, but this muau.exe was probably evil viruses do.

  Here is the download free link http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
  In addition, when you click on download the exe file name is mbam-setup

  Good luck. See you soon.

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

  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 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.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that 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 the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

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

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

  Hello

  You run these utilities to see if there is any useful information?

  You should use diagnostics to determine the cause.

  As I said, heat problems do not always mean too, could be something too sensitive
  to normal levels. And there may be some power partners or other hardware problems.

  There is no magic solution, troubleshooting is required, and you may need technical support
  for material questions.

  I hope this helps.

  Trubble-trouble shoot it software dose not installed.shows error

  Download ShellExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) run and disable all the NON Microsoft Shell extensions! If it is fixed, try to activate their 50-50 until you have discovered which extension is causing the problem.

  Best regards

• Windows 7 Explorer.exe unresponsive - Event ID 1000 (new construction)

  Hello

  I have stability with Windows 7 Explorer.exe problems on my newly built PC.

  Web browsers and Explorer.exe crash at startup or display the message "stopped responding" to the opening.
  The Explorer.exe "not responding" issue has become less common, but I think it's perhaps related to the instability with web browsers.
  I find no trigger that causes the crash, the PC is perfectly stable when left slowed or even during running scans.

  It may not be relevant, but for a short period, I found that typing caused accidents. Opening IE11 and click on the links on the homepage has worked.

  However the second I typed in the address bar or search IE11 would be "blocks".
  During this time I could also cause explorer.exe crash by typing the search / in the start menu. Still manually by clicking programs and icons did not cause an accident. Still happen when using the virtual keyboard.
  However, this is no past time, but the instability of web browser continues. Is a crash on startup (Firefox more than IE11) or "does not" after various periods of time.

  Test completed

  • SFC/scannow reveals no problem
  • No card graphics or other PCI devices are not connected (mother/ram/cpu only Board)
  • RAM has been tested on this PC & another known working PC & vice vera
  • Audit pilot Manager does not display any driver without a permit
  • 2009 fix for this issue is not relevant as input 'gas machine' is not in the registry
  • All the installed drivers are WHQL

  I'd appreciate really any contributions to this number & it makes me crazy now. I can't believe I'm the only person having problems on a new installation.

  Thank you!

  The modules 'fault' seem to be all the system such as the MSHTML.dll files.

  However another, possibly third-party files, can actually cause accidents.

  It can help to see what modules are loading during accidents.

  You can download and run the following application (AppCrashView):

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

  Click on one of the mistakes recent iexplore.exe.

  Can you copy and paste the information that appears in the lower window that loaded modules.

  Do the same for an error in explorer.exe.

• Windows 7: chain explorer.exe endlessly about the file type association

  Today I tried to .jar archives open as files compressed by default instead of running in Java on opening. My first guess on how to proceed was with C:/Windows/explorer.exe, and I did it by r-click on a .jar file, select open with > choose default program... then by navigating to the explorer.exe directory and check the "always use the selected program to open this type of file."

  This is where it goes horribly wrong. Apparently, Windows Explorer cannot say himself to open a file with itself. When I try to open a .jar file that is set to open with Windows Explorer, an endless loop of explorer.exe (in thousands) process starts one after the other, until I have run out of memory. To get rid of them, I have to restart.
  Subsequently, the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is grayed out, so I can't restore the association to its original. Using the command "assoc = CompressedFile .jar ' is as useless."
  How to restore the original file .jar extension association? Also, to solve my original problem, how can I make Windows opens files .jar and folders compressed instead of using Java.exe?

  I know that the default handler for ZIP is not an executable file directly, but it should be possible to associate with other types.  Filetype associations have two parts: a type of file that describes the file, like "file of Adobe Reader.  Then, who is paired with the type manager who actually links to the actions associated with the opening of this kind.

  For jar files to open with the same manager as ZIP, only one side of this pair should be changed in the registry, the .jar extension.  But I wouldn't really recommend a do it manually because of the potential problems of editing the registry.  Set a restore point or backup of the registry, then try the following steps - at your own risk/peril :)
  • Look at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip and see the structure.  Note that it says .zip is CompressedFolder.
  • Knowing this, look at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder.  Here you can see the actual command used to open these files (as well as the "friendly display name' which is used to describe these files when you hover over them and others).
  • For JAR files to do the same, you just change the .jar entry, then set it to the default CompressedFolder type.  Who told him to use the same settings as CompressedFolder.
