  • Windows Explorer stops responding when you access file downloads

    I'm having a problem with the Windows Explorer does not when I try to access the downloads folder. The problem seems related to a file, a Java .exe file I downloaded. Explorer hangs up as soon as I try to do something with this file, I can't even remove it. I got out the folder other files in desktop and using research and move the file, but when I try to do something with this file, Explorer crashes again.

    No video file in the folder, the file problem seemed to be a Java update file. I managed to remove using an third-party uninstall program, and the problem seems to have disappeared. My best guess is that the update program has been altered during the download.

  • Windows XP stops responding during defragmentation of files larger than 2 gigabytes.

    This is a really annoying problem and can affect others out there. I have two new XP Pro machines with processors dual core who have some great backup files and Virtual PC files. When I run the Defragmenter from windows or any Defragmenter also when large files are treated especially towards the end of a move of a file XP or, generally, Windows Explorer stops responding until the move is complete.

    I can't access the start menu, the Manager of tasks or programs that are already running while moving large files is ongoing. I ran the defragmenter in safe mode and appears not to happen. I used MSconfig start in diagnostic conditions and could not reproduce the problem, but I seem to lose some of my starting points had to restore from a backup. Both computers are material different but similar software configs.

    Help, please

    concerning

    Tim

    Well, I have increased my ram to 4 GB motherboards and the problem seems less obtuse with just a light gel or anything when the defragmentation of large files. I understand that the Windows API moves the files into 1 GB chunks using Defragmenter then maybe it wasn't adequate memory and xp was the pagination.

    Not quite sure it's fixed, but it seems that Yes, so I increased the ram too in my other machine to 4 GB. I know only 3.25 is usable, but maybe the extra 1 GB makes the difference?

  • Explorer Windows has stopped working. Same for the Task Manager.

    I have Windows Vista and have had this computer for several years.

    I tried to work on something yesterday and I found that all my Office 2007 programs would be would break immediately at the opening, while they were working fine a week ago (the last time we used them).  I ran the diagnostic program came not upward with anything and then installed a bunch of windows updates I received automatically.  When the computer restarts now, I get a window in the corner that says 'Custom settings', then a window appears and says that Windows Explorer has stopped working.  I can ctrl/alt/del and open Manager tasks, but when I try to do no matter what to whom, it also stops working.  I not to download anything so I really don't think it is a virus.

    I can't open programs or menus, even if I think I can get a screen of command.  I ran all the tests in the installation disc and did not get any where or the other.

    If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you

    Mike

    I can show you a workaround until Microsoft fixes their problem.

    As soon as you enter the office hit

    1-CTRL/ALT/DEL to get into the Task Manager
    2. click on the tab Applications (top left corner)
    3. click the new button on the task (lower right corner)
    4. in the Open box, type explore and click the Enter key
    5 do step 3 and 4 once more as quickly as possible

    This should stop the process of recycling the error message

    After stops in the process recycling, you can leave the Task Manager and minimize the Explorer window.  Also, you should be able to leave the Task Manager and windows Explorer now.  If this is not the case, just keep the Explorer minimized window.

    You should now be able to use your computer as usual.

    Let me know how it works for you.  If it works well, spread the word.

  • Windows Update stopped working.

    I have the 64 bit version of Windows 7 SP1 installed on my laptop [Dell Studio 1747 with processor i7 4 GB RAM & 750 GB hard drive.  Windows Update stopped working on my machine.  All updates through April 19, 2016 have been installed.  I already did the following:

    (1) installed the previous images dating back to several months

    (2) only run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab to get error # 0 x 80070005 several times

    (3) race reset Win Update.bat unsuccessfully

    (4) run MicrosoftEasyFix20179.mini.diagcab without success

    (5) I tried install subinacl.msi and runs the recommended Reset.cmd file

    (6) installed WindowsUpdateAgent-7, 6 - x 64 .exe

    All the latter were applied as suggested on the Microsoft Support Website.  None of these maneuvers in addition to the various applications of my antiviral software and malware, brought any resolution of the problem.  I would appreciate any suggestion short of a new facility, because I can't seem to find anywhere, all the new boards.

    I don't know what worked, but Windows Update started to update itself again.  What I don't have, though, was to limit the number of updates, I got the update at some point, less than 30.  I read a post at one point noted that a large number of updates may increase the risk of errors of download and installation.  I had some mistakes on the first download, but those corrected when I download tracking the rest of the updates.  I do not wish that Microsoft would create a repair or update protocol independent site, because it seems that this is not an uncommon problem.

  • Display driver stopped responding and has recovered the problem

    I got a Dell Inspiron M5040 with Windows 7 for Christmas 2011 and I started to use Windows Live Movie Maker, but whenever I get in the middle of editing a video, the screen went black for about a second and says "display driver stopped responding and recovered." The first time this error message has occurred, the laptop computer itself restarted and is went to a blue screen with the text, telling me to go into some sort of 'safe mode' (I couldn't read the text in time). I have all the latest drivers, my laptop is new, only yesterday lit.

    What can I do about it? I really want to use Movie Maker. I'm new to the Forum, so I hope someone help me. Thank you very much. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi James

    What you see is called the action process.in TDR (Timeout, recovery of the display).

    In earlier versions of windows when the display device ran out of resources throughout the system would stop responding which would require a reboot to recover.

    In Windows 7, if the display device is not responding, the system will try to stop and restart the device to recover.

    More information on this feature can be found here (Advanced): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487368.aspx

    The most common reason for this problem is that the display device is overloaded or used beyond its capabilities.

    This happens more often when reading graphic intensive games, but can occur with any process that uses a large amount of graphic resources, such as you see when you edit or create videos.

    What you can do to avoid these problems:

    1. only this type of procedure when the laptop is connected to a source ca.

    2. in prior to starting video editing, restart the computer.

    3. close all other running programs to ensure that all graphics resources are available for video editing.

  • Windows Update fails, laptop breaks down at the restart, Windows 7

    I had to buy a new drive hard laptop to my Toshiba Satellite after the first one stopped working. I reinstalled Windows 7 and did all the required Windows updates. So I wonder to restart, as usual, and I do. The problem is, when it gets to the point where the laptop screen goes black, and it should restart, is not. It is just a black screen, no response to the pressing movement or the key of the mouse. I know that the laptop is still technically because that light on is still green. I let him sit there for at least an hour, but nothing happened. Then I had the power button to turn off the laptop completely, he did and he turned his back. The laptop then turns and begins to set up the Windows updates, but it fails. After that I can log into the computer, and I can see that the Windows updates fails. Now, I have done this several times and sometimes the windows updates will succeed, but every time the laptop computer fails to restart correctly, and when I turn it off and turn it back on, he always tells me that Windows updates fail to configure. The last group of Windows updates I tried to do, they all failed to do.

    I just looked at the history of updates to Windows, and these are updates that failed

    Each update for Windows 7 for x 64 systems.

    Daily security for Windows 7 for x 64 EXCEPT KB3035126 systems.

    Each Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 security update

    And each update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 11

    The only consistently successful updates have been

    Update definition for Microsoft Security Essentials

    Updates and security for Microsoft Office updates

    and x 64 Windows malicious software removal tool

    My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C655D, it runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit (6.1, Build 7601), my processor is an AMD C-50 processor 1.GHz, I got 3072 MB of RAM, and my graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6250 graphics card. If you need further information, I will provide it to you. Thanks in advance for any help provided. I appreciate it.

  • MAKE WINDOWS UPDATER STOP annoying me

    Is there a way to make Windows Updater STOP recommending an update 'Important '?  I don't use Internet Explorer, it ask me download a 8.8 MB 'security update' for IE, which I did not need.

    Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Windows XP 64 - bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

    While you can't use IE, Windows does so it is very important to keep IE (and Windows) fully-patched at all times!
