Original title: extended attributes
I started getting the following errors with various programs "extended attributes are incompatible" and "Consent UI has stopped working". I tried to do a system restore but get error inconsistent attributes for 'rstrui.exe '. I also had the message to ShellExecuteEX.exe when you try to install an application and even trying to download the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor. Just to check, I tried to run msconfig from the start and even gives me the message attributes. I am running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2 installed. Advice please. Thank you, Roger P

Method 1:
You can try to run a SFC scan and check.
This problem may occur if a system file is missing or damaged.
You can refer to the method-the System File Checker tool in the following article:

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.

Windows Explorer has stopped working... then restart... only when I try to delete something!
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!

Whenever I'm trying to go in my computer or control panel, I get a message that windows Explorer has stopped working. He then says that we find a solution, and the message disappears. I can't yet get into my files computer or control panel.
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

Report ID: e6dfd048-d6e2-11df-9660-00271383b7feThe operating system is Win 7 x 64. Video card is a Gigabyte GTS450OC1 with its latest driver running on an Intel DP55KG MB with 8 GB memory Corsair XMS3. The system was fully functional and stable immediately before the update. I don't know which of the 18 patches is in conflict with the nvwgf2umx.dll file. Device Manager reports no hardware problem with any component.
In my attempts to solve the problem, I run chkdsk f, sfc/scannow (which have reported no problem) and reloaded the video driver (without uninstall first). Nothing works so far. I even tried to defragment the master file with Diskeeper 2010 start time Table Defragger (based on another post, I've found), also without success.
What is the reference for this?
This may seem like the thing the more janky to post, but I got the same error several months:

And miraculously all started working again. I'm running a GTX570 with latest drivers nvidia from Scripture.Note: You probably shouldn't be move/rename things in System32 unless you are confident and have your data backed up. It worked for me, but who knows you. -

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

-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.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor 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.
