Windows Explorer Keeps Crashing/restarting

Feb 2, 2010

i saw a video of someone i subscribed to on Internet, and he posted a video about a 'god mode' folder, and it was real, except he forgot to put '32 bit only'.., so what it was was you had to made a new empty folder on your desktop, and rename it something like 'godmode.{j74h37858g83e453e4g74c}' but right after i did, the folder disappeared, and windows explorer kept restarting about every 5-10 seconds, and i was just lucky i had another user on this computer which does still work. but i really need that first account back (it was the administrator account). so yeah, any thoughts on this would be helpful. *also, i forgot to note that safe mode doesn't work either; the screen just keeps flashing black every 5-10 seconds, which is obviously still the windows explorer.

Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working, Restarting

Oct 6, 2009

I am getting the windows explorer stopped working/restarting loop upon computer startup. I followed a suggestion to check "eventvwr" from the task manager and it seems as though the fault is associated with MP4splitter.ax My problem (or at least I think my problem) is that I cannot locate this file to delete it. A simple search of the computer does not bring it up. I already tried the "change from thumbnails to icons" thing in the control panel but can't seem to get to the correct screen it in time.

Explorer.exe Is Crashing On Windows

Jun 28, 2008

I have and Windows Vista Business N laptop (Sony VAIO BX297XP) and on that machine Explorer.exe is crashing very often, which is very annoying. I usally kill the process and then restart the process after that it works again. It started happening after the install of Service Pack 1

Things I have done, and have no effect:
*Updated my drivers
*Defragmented all my disks, which I also have sheduled weekly
*Runned Chkdsk, seems to be fine
*Checked for Viruses with Trend Micro Housecall, I have no viruses
*Checked for Spyware with Windows Defender, found nothing
*With ShellExView I have disabled all non Microsoft Shell Extensions........

When the Explorer crashed I was able to create a dump file of the process. Next I analyzed it with Debugging Tools for Windows and have an debuglog. And that's where i got stuck. I don't understand anything of that debuglog. Beneath I have included it. Does someone understand and see what the problem is?...........

Windows Explorer Crashing Randomly

Mar 23, 2008

I am using an Asus G1S with Vista Home Premium 32 installed. I've had my computer since June of last Year. It's been working perfectly fine up until about a week ago. Windows Explorer started crashing multiple times and randomly. There has been no reason for it and I can't duplicate it. Sometimes it's after I finish watching a video file in Media Player Classic, sometimes when coming back from sleep mode. I've tried reading for solutions and can't find anything similar to my problem. I've reported and searched for fixes every time but to no avail.

This is the Error report I am receiving.

Windows Explorer Crashing When Installing Games, Also Dvd Turns Dead

Feb 21, 2010

im installing AvP 3 and i just cant do it.

apparently for some reason the dvd stops reading...

when i enter "my computer" and try to go into drive d(my dvd) it just crashes,

then i have to wait from a range of 5 mins to 1.5 hours for windows explorer to restart...

and the game installation crashes too...

that happens with other dvds and cds too.

i have changed various dvd drives from various companies and i have updated all of their drivers...the problem is consistent.

im tired of buying new dvd drives and throwing them away for nothing.

obviously its a vista issue cause on my old pc everything works just fine(i have xp on that one).

most of the games i just copy the dvds files on my portable harddrive using my old pc and then do the installations through that harddrive on my current pc...

but this game is a "steam" game and that wont work...

any ideas?

ps:its not a hardware issue,its definately a windows vista issue.

How Stop Explorer From Restarting And Getting Printer(s) Installed?

Mar 23, 2008

Last night I rebuilt my Compaq Presario V6171CL notebook - reusing the same Vista 32-bit cd it was previously built with. All software as been activated. This time however, when I go to printers, add printer, network printer - windows explorer restarts. These apps have been installed: Vista 32 bit OS; Office 2007 standard; visio 2007; publisher 2007; Cute PDF, Adobe Reader & Outlook has been configured with one email account. All updates have been installed. User Account Control has been disabled and reenabled. I can install a local printer but not a network printer. The PC is attached to a domain correctly. Any Ideas how to stop explorer from restarting and getting the printer(s) installed?

Explorer Keeps Crashing

Aug 4, 2008

My Vista works fine in safe mode. I uninstalled almost every program I ever installed, I wrote down all of the processes that were running in safe mode and then rebooted and killed each process one by one, replicating the crash inciting event...opening any folder, after killing each process until I was down to the processes that were running in safe mode...and the ones that kept restarting themselves and I can't get the problem fixed.

I am using an HP Pavilion dv9000 running the pre-installed Vista Home Premium. The HP rebuild disk boots up into a repair screen, says it is repairing and if it works it will restart normally, which it does but I still have the same problem. I have run every anti virus/anti virus I could get my hands on (none of which seem to be getting rid of this Virtumonde piece of %*&, which is the least of my worries at this point unless it is causing the crashes).

I am about ready to take my laptop to the shooting range with me or upgrade to Windows XP because I have honestly not seen a single value added by Vista. If anyone has any ideas I would gratefully listen. If not, I think I am shooting this hard drive (really) and restarting with XP or some flavor of **ix and running XP in VMware.

Explorer Crashing On 2nd Partition...

Sep 27, 2009

I have I laptop in which I have vista installed on a HDD that is in three partitions. One is strickly for the OS and programs, the second is for all audio, videos, live cd downloads, etc., and the third is the recovery partition (my vista is an OEM installation) I have a problem that arises every once in awhile which involves windows explorer crashing when I access the partition with all my audio etc on it. it does it every once and awhile and I have traced the problem back to the windows temp folder. apparently something happens and it makes explorer go crazy untell i delete everything in the temp folder (via ccleaner)

my question is what could be causing this to happen and if anyone else has/had this problem and has found a more permenant solution then clearing the temp folder everytime it happens.

Constant Explorer Crashing (file Viewer)

Mar 14, 2008

6 months ago i bought a new lappy and its been going really good with vista on it, no crashes of anykind that i can remember, but last week its just started playing up, Whenever i do anything explorer crashes, sometimes it resets itself and other times i have to load task manager and Run explorer.exe to get my desktop back. anytime i load IE7 it resets itself or anytime i load a new page it does it. It does it when i load explorer (file viewer) and within 10 sec it crashes and closes that with no error box or anything, simply resets or crashes and dosent come back. Same with control panel etc. i've tried my nod 32 virus scanner is up to date and i've run a spyware scan but its still crashing constantly. When i first load windows a missing file error pops up that never used to aswell, but its a different file missing each time i boot up.

Dreme Scene 3 Content Crashing Explorer?

Apr 24, 2008

I am a vista ultimate owner, and have downloaded the dremescene features as well as the older content. Recently with the patch to SP1, I downloaded via the windows update when it became available. Tonight I downloaded the Dremescene 3 content as it became available.

However when I go in to see what the content contains, my Windows Explorer crashes every time.... Regardless if through windows explorer or through the control panel window. Is anyone else experiencing this phenomenon? I.E. is it a Video Codec that didn't get installed correctly and therefore I just need to download and install it so that Vista and Windows Media Player can decode and show the previews?

Solution :: Explorer.exe Repeatedly Crashing In Vista Ultimate X64

Mar 18, 2009

A few days ago I began experiencing an odd behavior on my Vista box, every time I opened the start menu and typed something into the search box explorer.exe crashed. Further investigation discovered that was also happening when typing anything into the Run command, into a window address bar and even when typing anything into a New Shortcut address.

NOTE: If you just want to know the solution go to the end of the post .

Using the great tools provided by Sysinternals and by Microsoft, I launched my comprehensive investigation of the problem.

First of all, I set WinDBG to be the default JIT debugger for crashed applications by running Code: windbg.exe -I.

Next, I caused explorer.exe to crash (which was easy) and analyzed the dump using !analyze -v.

Studying the dump I didn't find any interesting clues except that the call stack of the faulting thread showed that some ole32 and urlmonitor extensions of explorer were there.

So, using Autoruns (by Sysinternals) I first disabled 3rd party extensions like FileZilla shell extension and WinRAR shell extension. Crashed explorer, it restarted and the problem persisted. Next, I disabled all OLE32 and URLMON related extensions, but still explorer was crashing.

Well, if at first you don't succeed - USE MORE EXPLOSIVES!!!

Next, I disabled everything in the Explorer tab of Autoruns hoping that it wouldn't break anything and stop explorer from crashing but to no avail.

Now I got pissed, I launched Process Monitor and Process Explorer, and started crashing the hell out of explorer while comparing the dumps, call stacks, thread IDs, thread methods, file accessed by explorer prior to the crash and registry keys accessed by explorer prior to the crash.

Well, the thread causing the crash was running SHLWAPI.DLL!PathIsRootW and by examining the output of Process Monitor I could see that it was looking for whatever I typed into the address box in PATH folders, favorites and search locations.

Finally, I decided to become BFF with the WinDBG help and find out what else the !analyze extension could offer. Apparently, beside the (very useful) -v switch it also provides the -f and -hang switches that give you more information.

Using these I found that the problem was cause by urlmon.dll, specifically by the ~CUri destructor. From the call stack I could see that ntdll!RtlFreeHeap was the last method to be called, and it was called by the ~CUri destructor and caused a Heap Corruption Exception.

Anyway, since I was really annoyed by this problem for two days by now and in an hour I had to be at a wedding I did something that I regret, I used the first solution that came to mind.

!!! SOLUTION !!!

I deleted the Internet Explorer browsing history (address history).

It solved the problem which probably was caused by some address (and could be a bug in urlmon.dll) but now I can't further investigate to find what was the exact address in the history that caused the crash.

I apologize for the long story but I feel the need to pass the knowledge to others.

There might be some holes in the plot, but that is probably the best I can do at 3:30 AM after a long day....

Windows Crashing While Using Firefox

Apr 6, 2010

My computer seems to crash a lot. Windows catches it and closes down and then I opt to open it in safe mode. Then I have no idea what to do. I looked at Event Viewer and saw lots of errors but I don't know what to do about those. Some were caused by the cpu running on battery and losing power. The last crash happened as I was using Firefox, in Yahoo Calendar. I would love some advice.

By the way, I had the same problem that Meltie had a few weeks ago (not being able to use system restore and I did many of the things you told her to do. I uninstalled Norton's 360, downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes AntiMalware. I haven't figured out how to get Malw. A. to run on a schedule. I have the free program.

Windows Crashing Programs

Mar 25, 2009

I bought a new HP laptop last August and it had Vista on it. Ever since then I have had a zillion crashes. I have Office 2002 (and can't upgrade at this time), and have been trying to run Outlook 24/7 because of the deleted password problem, but it crashes about 3-4 times most days. Also, when I was running IE, it was also crashing very often a day. I switched to Mozilla, so that's no longer an issue! Is this crashing just because I had Outlook 2002? That wouldn't explain the crashing of IE though.

Attachments Crashing Windows Mail

Mar 23, 2008

I suddenly find that any message containing an attachment causes windows mail to go into "not responding" mode when I attempt to open or save the attachment. This happens with all attachments, irrespective of the application. I can right click the file name and "save as" the attachment, which successfully saves it to disc, but this at the same time crashes windows mail as above.
