After getting to copy a few small folders from external HDD, I need to use EXPLORER (right mouse button). Only this way I am able to see the files. Sometimes, I have been receiving an error message, Windows Explorer crash. I need to restart the windows explorer to be able to resume what I was doing. The appcrash is affected. Does anyone know how to solve it?

Lately when I've tried looking at different folders and files on my hard drives I keep getting "Windows Explorer has stopped working and will restart." It's driving me nuts, I can barely do anything.
Also, same thing with Internet Explorer...I'm getting real sick of Vista's shoddiness..
By now it should be obvious that, under the Vista operating system, I have Home Premium, there is a severe overall, general "has stopped working" problem.
Thus far I've experienced:
"Internet Explorer has stopped working"
"Windows Explorer has stopped working"
"Word has stopped working"
"Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (Adventure Company) has stopped working"
"Outlook has stopped working"
"Acid 4.0 (Sony) has stopped working"
"Acid 6.0 (Sony) has stopped working"
"Sound Forge (Sony) has stopped working"
Is it not obvious by now that Vista has a problem, maybe a compatability problem, with everything from Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word to third party programs which cause programs, as I mentioned, even programs made by Microsoft, to "stop working"? Is there no an overall "stopped working" patch or something that Microsoft has released by now?...............
when u first in stall windows everything works perfectly, but then over time, things erode little by little until some things stop working properly.. my problem is this...after selecting a large number of files (3200) and right clicking on them, the windows explorer goes thru a few seconds of "not responding" and then gives me nothing....the file context menu never appears.. then i logged into another barely used account (hidden admin) and found it worked like when i'd just installed windows... obviously, it's got something to do with USED accounts eroding over time...which leads me to my question.. is there anyway to (without doing a system restore) restore the integrity of the user account files that would have an effect on things like this?

What the heck is happening? When I type explorer.exe in command prompt, nothing happens! What is happening? What is happening?!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI got this problem in vista home premiun since I installed service pack 2. It happens when I click the right button of the mouse, I was told that it could be because I installed some application but I didn't find the culprit. Anyway, I want to execute command prompt as administrator and since I can not do it from the all start menu with a right click button, is there another way from a command line??. Actually I need to make some changes to HOSTS file and in order to do that I need to edit it as administrator.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two computers. The Windows XP Professional is wired directly to my 5 port SpeedTouch 780 10/100mb switch. The Vista Home Premium is a laptop and is wireless connected to the same SpeedTouch 780 DSL Router. Both computers can see each other on the network. I can browse all the allowed folders on the Sony Vaio Vista Machine but I cannot browse the folders on the XP machine from the Vista machine. I CAN open the folders but I cannot copy files and if there are a lot of folders, VISTA will sit there and hang while the progress bar progresses and finally the Vista machine will kick back an error message saying that Windows Explorer has quit with no explanation.
HOWEVER, IF I disconnect the Vista wireless connection, and I cable it, to the same SpeedTouch 780 switch, THEN I CAN browse my folders on the XP machine and EVERYTHING works like it is supposed to. I have turned off the firewall and disabled anti virus on both machines. What can I do to troubleshoot this problem? And DOES ANYONE have a tech support phone number for SpeedTouch 780 DSL Routers?
Whenever I double click on a directory in the contents panel a new window is opened, even though the "open in same window" checkbox in the options is checked. In the context menu the "explore" option is bold (default action) and if I select that explicitly then the folder is opened in the current window, but double click executes "open" instead of "browse". This behavior is since today or at least very recent. I do not recall an update being installed. I am current with the updates. I have checked shell's default value in regedit (is set to none). I have tried re-applying the checkbox. Rebooting... The only thing left is to do a rollback of the system to a previous checkpoint, but I would expect the behavior to return. Incorrect statement; I see three update installed two days ago. KB955430: Update voor Windows Vista voor x64-systemen 2007 Microsoft® Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2) Internet Explorer 8 voor Windows Vista voor x64-systemen As a side note, I noticed that if I hold ctrl to open a new tab for a link, IE8 does not actually download that page, but it stays on "Connected". I already activated Safari as the default browser. I'm going to rollback that update.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen my Vista home premium 32 bit windows explorer stop working frequently. when ever im doing something else in firefox or microsoft office, once i try to click Start button or i click dekstop icon. the whole windows will just freeze and ask me to restart the program(windows explorer). Im currently using a genuine vista OS, genuine microsoft office. Below are the data i copy from "Problems Report and Solutions". I did try the solution provided by microsoft, but they are just asking me to do windows update. but its seems like not solving my problem by just updating my windows. this problem did not cause me lot of problem. but its just too frustated to see it keep restarting for the whole night.

I don't know if my Threadtitle fits the exact English message (doubt it) but that's my Problem.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.

another problem with this OS, it seems once an hour my Windows Explorer will completely kick the bucket. What happens is all the windows and tabs at the bottom of the screen stop working and kind of migrate to the bottom left all mashing together making everything practically useless. So I end up have to end explorer.exe and resterting it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have vista home basic. My computer is a compaq presario sr2170nx. The last couple days I have been getting the following message when I right click on icons on my desktop or click on quick launch icons: Windows explorer has stopped working. It gives me the option to restart or search online for a solution. either one causes the icons in the system tray to go away and then reappear. this doesn't happen when i right click on folders on the desktop but any icons for applications it will. Also any icons in those folders will do the same thing. I have virus scanned with nothing found. I am currently scanning with adaware although i don't think it will find anything either. I have downloaded a few programs recently to convert portions of a dvd to mpeg for a class I'm taking but nothing else out of the ordinary.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought an HP Pavillion a6750f in May. Its OS is Vista 64bit. This machine ran fine for the first month, then I started having issues. I cannot pinpoint the start of the problems to any one event. I first "lost" autorun. I was trying to install PhotoImpact. The first disk worked fine, but when I put the second one in, I got an error message telling me something about autorun (seems to me it was something else, but I cannot remember what at this time). Any way, if I put any disks in, the computer would not automatically open them, or run them. After a few days of struggling with this, I finally got things working again. But, about a week after that, I began getting the Windows Explorer has stopped working error. That still is not fixed! I am a college student who takes most of my courses online. I needed Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4, so when I tried installing them, I got a bunch of errors, issues, and problems. I uninstalled just about every program I had, and tried installing one at a time to see if any of the programs were causing problems. Vista, as you know, does not support many older programs, which is a PAIN! But, I did find a few "upgrades" for some of my programs so they would work with Vista. Unfortunately, after installing those "upgrades", my computer still did not work properly......

How do you get FF be the default browser for yahoo mail, for example?
