Perhaps there is a virus on the disk. The symptoms you describe suggest. If you have anti-virus software on your PC, try to scan your hard disk with it. If not, you can get one for free here:http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/.

Thank you for your help, but I tried something else.

Windows Explorer keeps restarting.

Dear geniuses,
So, I found this egg Easter for Windows 7 that I thought would work for Vista too. It was an Easter egg "GodMode" that had me create a folder and rename it to something and after I made my computer made me reboot Windows Explorer and after I did it did not stop to do. I am not able to access anything (anything on my desk, my Start button, etc.), the only way I can access stuff is if I go into my task manager and that he tell it to create a new task. I can still go on the internet and I can't find any solution. Please help, thanks.

Hello

Hello

Reinstall the printer driver and your audio/sound driver. Note update drivers was also
one of the methods in the previous troubleshooting. Have you tried the clean boot method?
Did you also run CheckDisk?

If necessary AFTER those try a repair Installation / upgrade on the spot that allows you to keep
programs and data backups however redundant are always a good idea.

You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a
good backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

Why windows Explorer keep crash since I installed internet explorer 9

the answer to "immediately after installing IE9 Windows explore crashes - Vista SP2" does not actually to answer the question for me as I will be unable to upgrade to Windows 7 for a long time yet. I can't even uninstall IE9 because I can't in the Panel, nor can I access the restore points. How can I uninstall IE9 - is there a solution to this problem that doesn't involve the upgrade to Windows 7?

Hello

Thank you for your response.

I decided earlier, however,

just uninstall IE9 and go

Back to IE8 using rstrui.exe

to access the system restore.

Windows Explorer keeps returning to the file at the top of the file

I recently started to experience a problem with the Windows Explorer. When I display the contents of a folder with many files or folders in there, so that the vertical scrolling is necessary, I find that if I scroll down (by any method), after about seven seconds, the display returns to show the files/folders at the top of the list, regardless of the question to know if I still have my finger on the mouse button. Also, if I try to change a file name, if I'm not done in 7 seconds approximately., it restores the original file name and any change that I was typing is lost.

Any suggestions?

Problem seems to be fixed, thank you.
Methods 1 and 2 did not find any problem. Method 3 (Clean Boot) disappear the problem (of the erratic behavior of windows Explorer). I removed several non-Microsoft services that I don't think are necessary and restored Normal startup. The cause of the problem is somewhere between the services that I stopped, but I don't know which application is the culprit. However, none of these services are required and the system boots faster without them!

I also discovered - finally - how to defeat the free trial of Bullguard I want!

Windows explore keep crashing

My new laptop has Windows 7 and whenever I open windows Explorer, I am "windows Explorer has stopped working".

I also note that the icons of the system are all off, except the clock and it is all grey. in a first time after the start of these icons will appear, but after that I open explore and he crash that the icon will disappear.

I tried to update the display driver (I got Intel and Nvidia graphics, I've updated them both to the most recent version), I tried safe mode, disable all the service but the Windows service, I scan complete with anti-virus and anti-malware, I downloaded and installed Microsoft Fix It, but explore crash yet. I also tried sfc/scannow, but it says: "found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them" I tried to read the CBS but I don't understand who is corrupted files.

I tried to fix the problem of system icons by deleting the IconStreams and PastIconStreams regedit, HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. He worked for a while, no more explore crash but after a few minutes, it failed again, and system icons is gone again!

whenever Explorer plant for the first time, my laptop still plays this note that usually plays when I first get into windows, the screen flashes a little and then system icons will disappear.

my laptop is still new and all the other function works well, just this problem with Explorer and system icons.

Please help me, I can't use my computer without explore.

I'm not very good with computer, so if you can, please explain to me step by step.

In addition, forgive my bad English, it is not my mother tongue.

Thank you.

Hello

Since this is a new computer, you need to check with the system manufacturer's support, their online
documentation, diagnosis and ask questions in the forums about known problems. OEM for the
System manufacturer is responsible for the functioning Windows and hardware.
So whatever the cause it is theirs to solve. And the system is under full warranty and
needs repair or replacement. Added that even if you are somehow able to solve
the question would still want you it documented just in case there are other related issues
on the road.

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

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: run DriverView - set
SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those with Dump in their names. (Also
updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

-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.

Windows Explorer keeps stealing focus

I have problems with Windows Explorer, support for the screen as the main application, but not totally. Often she does when I launch an application having worked with explore moments before.

This is the case of 5 up to 30-60 seconds after that a new application has begun, with US not closed. It's quite annoying, and sometimes dangerous for example, working with Word and press DELETE to remove the text, all of a sudden that you remove files...

Funny about this is that it is not a full discussion fly, you must click on two timeson the other application icon in the taskbar to reactivate.

Often, a certain instability in Windows Explorer or abnormal behavior is due to the addons and defective 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 bootor start in safe mode, or create a new user account and test it there... The behavior persists?

Windows Explorer keeps referencing the wrong version of Photoshop?

Using Windows Explorer, when I try to open an image by right-clicking on it, I am unable to choose Photoshop CC 2014. Instead, the only version of Photoshop, that I offer is CS5 I deleted. I am able to open Photoshop CC 2014 and then place or drag the same image file in Photoshop CC 2014.
It's just a little awkward, but I would it work as it should. Any suggestions? Thank you.

It's what often happens when you uninstall a previous version. The problem is in the Windows registry, but it is the uninstaller that mess the register to the file associations for newer versions still present on the system. The safe way to do is to uninstall in the reverse order of version, then reinstall it.

Officially, this isn't a problem. In reality, it is and has been for a long time and many versions.

Try these in the following order:

Bridge preferences > file type Associations.

Windows Control Panel > default of programs.

Uninstall and reinstall CC 2014.

Uninstall and run CC cleaner script ( https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html ). Replace.

Run a registry cleaner. Might work, but beware, back up the registry first.

Change the registry manually. You'll have to google it, but there is a way. Same precautions as above apply.

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.

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.

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.
