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.

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.

  • IR remote stops working after that the system will switch to standby

    IR remote no longer works after that the computer goes to sleep.  I use Windows Media Center (Vista) to the TV and use the remote a lot.  The ONLY way to make it work is to restart the machine, which is a PITA.

    In the device, here is what is displayed Manager...

    Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)

    I tried uninstalling, reinstalling the driver, unpluging the receiver IR USB, displacement of ports, etc., the software MS difficulty he tried, but nothing works.  It allows to work all the time, but these last few months, you must restart the computer to operate the remote control.

    Any ideas?  Help, please.

    BTW, it is a HP Desktop Media machine, and the remote control is the standard HP remote given out with their machines.

    Here is the official Microsoft fix for error code 38:

    Code 38: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772090%28WS.10%29.aspx

    Have you tried to deactivate "standby" and checked for the repetition of the problem with the IR remote?

    You can ask your question to the Media Center experts at the green button forum:

  • Basics of microsoft, as installed on vista, still works after that I have switch to firefox?

    I am moving from Vista to Firefox and want to know if Microsoft Essentials will continue to run after I made the change. MSE has preformed well for many years and I would like to avoid having to change to another anti-virus program.

    Actually, you will still have Windows Vista, even if you use Firefox rather than the browser Internet Explorer (IE) that comes with Windows.

    Another browser of your choice requires no modification of your security software. Also, it does not replace your security software. Unlike some programs that require special configuration steps, Firefox and Microsoft Essentials should get along very well.

  • Airport Express stops working after that put 7.7.7 upgraded to Time Capsule

    I was able to update my firmware for my Time Capsule airport, but now my two devices Airport Express, which gave me "an unexpected error has occurred", seem to be in 'brick' and I can not even time Capsule to recognize after a reset.  I even spent my firmware to see if that was the problem... nothing.  Please help

    At this point, is the time Capsule still loaded with an earlier version of the firmware or is it still in 7.7.7? Nevertheless, I would say that you do a ' default ' reset on each of the affected AirPort Express base stations to their "out-of-the-box" configurations

    Depending on your answer to the first question, we can proceed from there.

  • ThinkPad T450 - Hotkey features integration stops working after the screen lock

    My OSD volume and brightness no longer works after that screen is locked using a timeout or Win + L. All other information like the caps lock or disbale microfone OSD are still working, but brightness and volume bars are gone.

    I have the following configuration:

    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    BIOS 1.21 (taken from the site of Lenovo)

    8.80.05 (from Lenovo system update) keyboard shortcut function integration

    1.67.12.07 (from Windows Update) power management driver

    Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.15.4285 (from Windows Update)

    I tried already to older versions of integration function Hotkey and power management driver, but this does not solve the problem.

    When I unlock my T450 all services (On Screen Display, PM Service and Hotkey customer charger) are still ongoing, but I can get the OSD back by restarting the service of customer magazine (until the next Win + L) keyboard shortcut.

    Is this a common problem or is it just me? Any suggestions?

    Best regards

  • Windows Explorer stops working whenever I have connect a USB flash drive and try to access

    Hello. I use Windows Vista.

    I had a particular problem. Whenever I have plug in a USB key and try and access it, I get a pop saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working." the file is closed. If I wait a long time (i.e. 10 seconds), I might be able to get into the drive without any problems, but even when there is no guarantee. The problem persists in each USB slot I use. In addition, it is not that the computer is not able to detect it. It can detect and identify that it is a USB flash drive. It's just that whenever I try to access (or the folders inside the flash player), windows Explorer stops working and restarts.

    Does anyone have this problem before? And any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    The mistake made reference the MSVCR80.dll, which is a Microsoft file, but it may be another third party file, causing the problem.
