Hello
1 have you tried the methods mentioned in the post above?
Please get back with the results so we can help you better.
Method 1: You can also configure your computer in a clean boot state and check to see if the same problem happens.
By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

Can't open my pictures folder - message "windows Explorer has stopped working"!
I have a Toshiba Satellite A305 (Harman/Kardon) with Vista Home Premium, 32-bit operating system. For about a week now, I can not access my photos folder. When I try to open I get a message telling me that Windows Explorer has stopped working, then another telling me to restart.
I ran a full scan with my Norton program but no virus found. Following the suggestions made on this forum, I have disabled all non-Microsoft software but still getting the same message. Run the File System Check and after that 'complete 100% verification' I received a message that: "Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them."
What does that mean? How can I find out what files are corrupt? How can I fix it?He also said that the details are included in the CBS.log windir\logs\cbs\cbs.log journal
I tried to get more details of cbs.log (according to the directions on this site), but when I type the command I am told to type, nothing happens.

Open the folder "Images" = Windows Explorer has stopped working.
Everytime I try to open my pictures folder after a few seconds, I get the message that Windows Explorer has stopped working. I can't understand how to solve this problem. = (If you please help.
I ran the System File Checker and there find and repair corrupt files. However, the problem is still there.
I also ran the disk check and has not helped either.
Ok. I solved the problem by seeking advice in another thread. Here's what I did:
I solved this by going to my computer > click the "Organize" (upper-left) > folder and search options > view tab check "Show icons, never thumbnails" option and uncheck the "display file on the photos." This prevents windows to generate images and solved the problem for me. Less visually flashy Yes, but at least not need a cloth and restart is).
I'm moving all my pictures from external storage. Guess that's the motivation that I needed to finally get the prints and albums. :) I hope this helps someone else.

"Windows Explorer has stopped working" if I open Control Panel

When I open the Control Panel, it says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then it restarts Windows Explorer. When I right click on any folder it says "recording of the UI language is not valid" 5 times and for a split second, it says "Corrupted registry" then it works. But I am unable to use the control panel.
I have Windows Vista home premium and Norton Antivirus.

Hello
The error message says something about corrupt registry.
So, it seems that this issue would be related to incorrect or damaged registry entries.If the registry is damaged, your operating system will not work as it should and can feel such or similar problems.
I m using the CCLeaner to clean the registry and other system files.
It s a free tool and you should try it.If this does not work and if you notice the same question so I would recommend reinstalling the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.
In most cases this will help you fix this registry -

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.

(2) when exactly it happens?
Looks like the thread you are referring has been moved or merged.
Method 1: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference
Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically
Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks
Note: Fixit would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of data loss from that particular area.Method 2: You can follow the steps described in the article below, which deals with a similar question

Error "Windows explore has stopped working" when you open the file in my documents
Original title: opening a file in the folder my documents
Whenever I try to open a file in my documents folder, specifically a CV that I downloaded on a construction site. I get a message that windows Explorer has stopped working?
Hi dalintn,
1. What is the file format of the document?
2. are you able to open documents from other locations?
3. did you of recent changes on the computer?
Check if the similar problem persists when you access the document from any other location on the computer.
Method 1
This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that you run a SFC scan, which would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.
The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.
For more information please visit the link below.
How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Method 2
If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you do clean boot and check.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Reset the computer to start as usual
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.
I hope this helps!

Windows Explorer has stopped working vista 64-bit

I can do a restore and I don't know that I don't have a virus or spyware on my computer. I can't say at this point when it started, cause I just thought it was a freak thing. Maybe something to do with the UAC. There must be an easy fix for this. Please help, going nuts about it.

Windows Explorer has stopped working error - I can't right click a folder on the desktop.
This is my brother's computer, and they do not arrive in his account, only mine. I have administrator rights, but it seems not to matter. This problem occurs only occasionally. For example, I can right click on this text, copy it, then paste it. However, if I go to the desktop and try right click on a folder to rename it, I get the error. The error indicates that Windows Explorer has stopped working, when it says that it restarts, then the Office updates really quick. None of what I found in the forums have worked again this is why I started a new thread. I think it might be a problem with the registry, then someone can please help me quickly find a solution?
Note: I can not run as administrator command prompt because I can't right click, so I can't run sfc/scannow.

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.htmlShellExView 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.
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!
