• Explore Windows 7 crashes when you try to copy files, pictures, etc.

  I have Windows 7 and since a few weeks ago, every time I try to copy files, documents, photos from one folder to another or photos from my SD card to my computer, or unzip compressed files, when I try to paste, explore Windows crashes and closes.

  Can someone help me please.

  Thank you.

  If you mean that you see something like this:

  

  If this is the case, read this:

  Maybe you have a distressed Explorer Shell Extension.

  Several recent systems of the incidents involving Acer and MyWinLocker of EgisTec (which is already known to include some suspicious Explorer shell extensions) that could come preinstalled on your system.

  Even if your system is not at Acer there installed MyWinLocker and since there were many reports indicate that it contributes to crashes explore it seems a good place to start looking.

  If you look in your installed programs and find MyWinLocker or whatever it is of EgisTec and you don't know what that is, or why it is there consider just uninstall, restart, and then see how things work.

  If you have determined that MyWinLocker or any other program EgisTec intervene follow GP below, so you will be able to see all Explorer shell extensions.

  If you see all the extensions of EgisTec, software security PSD, eDataSecurity, DragDropProtect (they will be some of pink extensions) start with these first.

  If none of these things exist, continue:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program.  Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.

  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:

  

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Windows Explorer crash

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition (right click).  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  A user reported that it was necessary to restart the browser after each adjustment to do that press Ctrl-E since in ShellExView.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure.   You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.

  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

• Computer crashes when you try to install the Sims 2: Double Deluxe from the disk

  Hi kitkatz155,

  You can try to start the computer in a clean boot state, try to install the game and check if this solves the problem.

  Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  Hope this information helps.

• IE crashes when you try to install Microsoft Update

  I'm using XP w/SP3 installed.  Windows update works fine and I've installed all the updates available; However, when I try to change to Microsoft Update, I hear the blip to allow ActiveX must be installed, but IE is frozen and does not display the bar or shows only a part of it.  I have disabled all add-ons and run more of the FixIt for IE and update options.  I have also reset Windows Update by using the FixIt and also manually re-register dll update involved.  I use IE 8 and have re-installed two times - no change in problem.  Is it possible to manually install the required ActiveX for Microsoft Update, or I can find and manually install updates for Office for this system?

  McAfee (and Norton) applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. Even if things seem to be OK now, I highly recommend doing the following to avoid any problem (for example, during the installation of the updates of security this month over the next week).

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  ACTIONS:

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. [If a step said to restart, restart!]

  1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop 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 key of handy product, uninstall McAfee Total Protection via Add/Remove Programs, restart to a command prompt.

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online enable WF immediately after the reboot!

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": do not to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation reading E-mail; cat) until you have finished step #7 below!

  5. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of McAfee Total Protection (using your product ID, if need be) & restart. If you purchased the software directly from McAfee, go to https://home.mcafee.com/Secure/Protected/Login.aspx to connect and download your software.

  7. manually and repeatedly updated McAfee application until you get one invite "no updates more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. IMPORTANT - DON'T SKIP THIS STEP! Open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 from => and run the automated troubleshooter from end to end. [1]

  10. restart once again.

  11. open Internet Explorer (only!) at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Select CUSTOM and scan | Install the available security updates. Follow all the instructions.

  -Online if an update of root certificates is listed under the category of updates software optional on the left side of the window of scan results, install it to enjoy greater security of IE8.

  -Online Tip: do NOT install any other updates software optional or any updated material in option .

  12. in response to this post with a status report.

• 8.1 Windows crashes when you try to install some things.

  As for example. When I tried to install a game, Vindictus... it froze on me and my screen is purple and became unresponsive. I tried this several times, but every time I try and open setup my computer just freezes.

  I think (and it must be good) that windows has some compatibility issues, and I can't enjoy the things I want if I have to deal with gel pathetic ups like that. The only way for me to download stuff I want is at least try to downgrade to windows 7, but I try not to do.

  Can someone help me? I'm sorry if I'm not quite eleborate, but it's Windows 8.1! The problem could be ANYTHING... but I really think it's compatibliity questions due to the fact that when I tried to troubleshoot it he said he had compatibility problems. It 'fixed', but it still happens, so it did not work.

  I also 0x0000008E. 0 x 00000050 and 0 x 00000018 type erros when trying to play games... windows 8.1 is such a hassle.

  Hi Bluey5,

  I saw your post on the installation of Vindictus on your Windows 8.1. The problem is the game due to his age. It was originally designed to run under Windows 2000 and XP. Windows 8 is very different then even Windows 7. I had similar problems with older games myself and keep your computer Windows XP autour for this reason.

  Thank you

  One of the recurring errors in Event Viewer was the 'Source' following 'KScsiPrt ':

  The description for event ID 9 source KScsiPrt is not found. Either the component that triggers this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

  
  

  If the event is on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

  
  

  The following information has been included in the event:

  
  

  \Device\Scsi\KScsiPrt1

  Which may indicate a problem with the SCSI KernSafe controller.

  Can you try disabling the controller SCSI KernSafe in Manager devices as suggested hereand see if that makes a difference.

  You may need to restart the computer after you disable the driver.

• Canon Solution MenuEX crashes when you try to install it

  Software problem

  I downloaded the software for Canon Pixma MG6150 since the CD successfully, with the exception of one piece. When I try to open the software Canon Solution MenuEX I get a message from Microsoft that the software "has encountered a problem and needs to close' barrel Support helped me to uninstall the MenuEX Solution software and download it from their Web site. Same message when I try to open it. Canon that it is a Windows problem. I am using Windows XP Media Center. Any ideas?

  Thanks for your replies.

  I found the solution on a blog by a person who had the same problem. All I had to do was uninstall my previous Dell AIO 944 printer, locate a file of remains "Twain_32" for Dell monitor and uninstall it. When I reinstalled the software MP Navigator and MenuEX Solution worked flawlessly. I informed the Canon of what a number of other people had the same problem.

  Once again, thanks a lot.
