Windows Explorer preview pane function hangs Word when trying to preview Word documents.

I have a problem with the Windows Explorer and the preview pane.  When I activate the pane at the bottom and try to view a Word Document it blocks Word even if Word is not open.  What happens on Windows 7 x 64 systems, we have many systems with the same question.   Does anyone have a solution?

I tried the SFC/scannow, start in safe mode, disabling startup items and Services, and it happens again every time I try to get a glimpse of a Word document.

Thank you

Joe

  • Resizing in Windows Explorer preview pane

    When I try to resize the preview pane in Windows Explorer, it is almost impossible to get the spinner as the "access zone" (not sure what to call this Sweetspot) should be very low.  If I can get the double arrow and hold down the left button of the mouse the spinner turns into a single arrow.

    I have the same problem with the preview pane of Outlook.  When I get the double-headed arrow, hold down the left mouse button and drag... opps!  It is therefore more a double arrow.

    Your supposed to hold down the left button of the mouse / less than your left-handed?

    Then, you would need spend the right-handed left buttons of the user functions.

  • Cannot move all the files as windows explore crashes - it happens every time when you use an external hard drive (several readers have been tested and work on other machines)

    I need to move files on my laptop, but windows crashes Explorer everytime I try this. This also applies when you use an alternative program to explore. It didn't happen last week but regularly spent the last six months. It is now that I need to migrate these files (mainly the images, but also the music and office documents).

    The error in the Event Viewer log States the following: start the application failing application Explorer.EXE, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e01da5, failed module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, offset 0x02db07e0, process id 0 x 1650 error, time 0x01ca547fd1de6851.

    Make sure that the device is compatible with Vista, the Vista Compatibility Center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx.

    If you need to get pilots to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  You need to find the NAS device and the NICs in particular - but it would not hurt to look at all the when you're there.

    Go to start / Control Panel / Add Hardware and select the first option (recommended) to see if the system can detect the device.  If this does not work, choose the second and provide the information requested on the device.  You will be asked for drivers - have their practice.  Follow the prompts to install the device (NAS).  Make sure that it is plugged in and turned on when you do so, or he not be recognized.  It's the hard way of installing a hardware device, but your system obviously isn't automatically recognize it then do it manually. Here is a brief tutorial on how to do so: http://www.web-articles.info/e/a/title/Windows-Vista :-Running-the-Add-Hardware-Wizard /.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • Windows Explorer does not display text seen when scrolling

    Hi, it's hard to explain, but my music library on a hard drive high school and is the only folder with music, but, when I go to my music library, and scroll by grabbing the scroll bar, the small white box that appears always says, 'mp3, unspecified' - rather than the name of the folder.

    If I go DIRECTLY to this folder, that is to say, this car and to scroll, it works.
    I have removed/re-added the folder to the library, and configured to optimize for the music, it still does not work.
    Thoughts?

    Back in your library, testing of up-right, choose "arrange by" and selecting a different option.  If the problem persists in other arrangements, I recommend the deletion of the library itself and recreate.  No file will be lost in that.

  • Error: "Windows Media Center has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution. "when tried to open it after installing the KB983590 update

    Original title: WMC no longer works after update of August 10

    Windows Media Center has stopped working after installation of my Windows 7 Professional pc all 11 updates gave me on August 11, 2010. I used system restore to the day before the updates, and install them individually. The first 9 no trouble with WMC. But the IE8 KB982664 for Windows 7 compatibility view list caused my action center to report that I needed to check the undeclared solutions to problems. WMC would still start. But after installing KB983590 .NET framework 3.5.1 for Windows 7 x 86, WMC has stopped working.

    After you uninstall update 2 above WMC would still not start.

    After using the system again restore forward updates, I installed the other 9 updated with, so far, no problem with WMC.

    If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.
