"Windows Explorer has stopped working" / "windows restarts.
I recently started to receive these errors message about 3 or 4 days ago. When I try to open my files and other related files of WINDOWS, I get this:
Window #1:
Explorer Windows has stopped working.
Windows is looking for a solution.
Option: Cancel box
Window #2:
Explorer Windows restarts.
Option: Cancel box
I have "talked" with representatives of both HP and they suggested that I got the virus and viruses were the cause of the problem. One of them made me try "MalWareBytes". Another suggested I use "SUPERspyware. Both services have found a virus/spyware and if all goes well, they're gone. Currently, I am using Verizon Internet Security Suite and do not plan to get rid of him. All I want to know is how can I solve this problem? I don't want to pay to solve this problem, because I am a full time student and the fall semester is in a few days. I use on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and I have a HP Pavilion a6519fh PC (premium of Intel Dual - Core E2180 Desktop Processor). HELP ME PLEASE! Thanks :)
Hello Carla,.
Try to use the System File Checker to scan your operating system for missing/corrupt files, perform the following steps:
- Click Startand type cmd in the box start the search .
- In the results, right-click on cmd.exearea, and then click run as administrator. You will be asked to type the password for an administrator account. If you are the administrator or type the administrator password, click continue . Then, click continue.
- At the command prompt, type Sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.
The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista CD.
Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

HP20: Windows Explorer has stopped working, followed by windows explore restarts
Hello everyone, a few days my computer began to behave strangely. When you try to download some pictures using Chrome, windows Explorer has crashed, and a pop-up will appear showing the message: "Windows Explorer has stopped working". A few seconds after that, the entire desktop up-to-date and another window poped by displaying "Windows Explorer restarts... ».
The cycle of two windows appearing repeatedly. I restarted the computer as soon as it shows the office, the same thing happens again, to infinity.
I was able to restart the computer by using the security mode, it works just fine. I've disabled most of the software at startup, except 360 total security anti virus. It has not solved the problem.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Thank you very much for any help!
Matheus
Hi old_geekster, I tried what you said and it did not work. However, I then found the original source of microsoft where you got this info from, and they mention here on a corrupted video driver as a source as possible. That was the problem in my case: radeon tried to update earlier this week, but I was in a hurry and it did not properly. I tried again and it worked now!
Thnaks for your help, even if not exactly what I needed, it solved my problem!

Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.
I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.
We will cover all the possibilities.
1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:
Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)
IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.
IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!
4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.
Tips:
-Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.
-Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.
-Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

Please follow the steps in the link.
Important: before you perform an upgrade in-place, you must be prepared for the worst scenarios that led to your existing data on your computer being deleted. These data include data personal, settings, information about the hardware and software drivers. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs.

I'm running Windows Vista Business 2007. I have not had problems with my computer until my computer has been infected with the Malware last week. The malware has been removed. The problem I have is when I try to delete a file, the shortcut on the desktop or do anything, I get a display box that appears and says "Windows Explorer has stopped working... Windows is looking for a solution to a problem." Then another presentation box appears and says "Windows Explorer restarts... "and it restarts. The file will not be deleted. I tried to delete files in multiple places and using several methods of deletion (button Delete, right click and delete, move, delete, etc.)
I tried many actions listed on the support forums and nothing has worked yet. When I first upgraded to windows I had to turn off user account control because it was originally the System unstable and would not allow updates to install. I made on and off again, but it does nothing to help with that.
ANY INFO on my problem would be greatly appreciated!
Search for malware that were missed, as suggests.
Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. 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?
Another option could be to consider the establishment of the hierarchy of the 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 SkyDrive file and provide a link.(Letter is an environment variable that represents the system drive, usually C:.) -
Help! My computer Dell laptop keeps telling me that Windows Explorer has stopped working. After that another pop up immediately comes up saying Microsoft explore restarts. It does not give me enough time to get what in the start menu, I was able to start the virus scan twice but it does not end. When I run it in safe mode, it continues to be. Any ideas? I was able to access the control panel through the Task Manager, but it doesn't seem to be any abnormal process running.

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.
Good luck

"Windows Explorer has stopped working" if I open Control Panel
Guys, could someone help me please?
When I open the Control Panel, it says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then it restarts Windows Explorer. When I right click on any folder it says "recording of the UI language is not valid" 5 times and for a split second, it says "Corrupted registry" then it works. But I am unable to use the control panel.
I have Windows Vista home premium and Norton Antivirus.
Can someone help me please?
Hello
The error message says something about corrupt registry.
So, it seems that this issue would be related to incorrect or damaged registry entries.If the registry is damaged, your operating system will not work as it should and can feel such or similar problems.
I m using the CCLeaner to clean the registry and other system files.
It s a free tool and you should try it.If this does not work and if you notice the same question so I would recommend reinstalling the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.
In most cases this will help you fix this registry -
