Windows Explorer has stopped working and needs to close"error message while opening the control panel in Windows 7

Original title: "Windows Explorer has stopped working and needs to close" Windows 7

Help, everytime I try to go to the Control Panel, I get the message "Windows Explorer has stopped working and needs to close"


I searched some other forum posts and can't find anything that works

I tried using my guest account
Ran antivirus/spyware
Disc chk
scannnow
shooting and antivirus (under msconfig) programs
nothing seems abnormal in the printer and device section
When I look at the errors, which seems to be the culprit: "KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17651.
Because of this error, I can't (or don't know how) uninstall programs or doing anything in the control panel.

I tried to install ms office 2010 when it started past so now I uninstalled all older versions of office and can not install a new because it says I need to uninstall the old version of Groove (not sure that I have never used it).
I'm not good at this stuff so pls be kind in your explanations of what I should try.

Thank you!

PS, I have an improved version of Windows 7 and do not know where the drive is.

Try this:

1. press CTRL + ALT + DEL
2. Select the Task Manager
3. go to: processes > explorer.exe > end process
4. once go to: Applications > new task > explorer.exe
See if that helps.

    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.

    Why you are posting in the forum, IE?  Maybe the reason why you try to use the CP is to enter Internet Options?  If so, you can do it without the help of Windows Explorer (at least on your operating system) starting (using the Task Manager if necessary): control.exe inetcpl.cpl

    Otherwise what your problem probably means is that you have added something new to the root of the control panel which is not compatible with your OS, causing thus the Windows Explorer (not IE) crashing.  In this case, the same way you could get in Add Remove programs without involving Windows Explorer by starting: control.exe appwiz.cpl

    You can get help more informed by post on a forum that specializes in performance and Maintenance of your operating system.

  • Infinite loop of "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and "Windows Explorer restarts" made my phone useless

    I started to get an infinite loop of these two errors on my laptop, as soon as the desktop and start menu appear, which means that I can't do anything on my laptop. He began to arrive shortly after downloading an update for Adobe AIR (updated automatically via Tweetdeck) and an error appeared when saying the installation was damaged and I should reinstall/repair it.

    The problem is that this error loop start instantly as soon as the main office and start bar appears, so I can't do anything, let alone try to uninstall it or try to go online and find a program that would help. I tried to boot up the laptop in each of the three versions of Safe Mode, and errors appeared again each time. I also managed to find my Vista backup drive came with my laptop when I bought and performed a startup repair, but he did find something wrong. Then, I thought I might as well try a diagnosis of memory, but that no longer works. I also tried several different system restore points, but the question begins always at the same time, a lot of time.

    The only thing I can think to do is a clean install of Vista via my backup disk, but stupid me didn't save a workload I need to keep. Oh, and if you're wondering how I write this because my laptop is now effectively useless, I'm borrowing an old of my father.

    Don't know if this is important either, but it's a Dell XPS M1530 Vista Home Premium 32 bit and I had it for about two and a half years with only a handful of problems. I probably would say that this has never happened before, either.

I would be grateful you're not assuming that I know anything about technique and describing all the solutions in a progressive manner. Thanks a lot people.

    I used a system restore and everything seems OK. Wish I had known that earlier would have saved a lot of headaches.

  • Slow speed and "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and often "unresponsive".

    My laptop Gateway (1.46 GHz Dual CPU) is under Vista Home Premium and is very slow during the implementation of new screens or changing the screens in an application, often displaying "not responding" for up to a minute.  Sometimes the message on Windows Explorer appears. It is also very slow while booting or passage from one user to another.  I regularly remove temporary files internet and visited sites, regularly virus and spyware scanner. My usual applications are Quicken, Internet Explorer, I-tunes and webmail.

    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 Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as 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 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

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

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.
