Windows Explore Not Working
Mar 23, 2008
I have a problem watching som of my images with different types ofprograms. This happens when I want to attach pictures to whatever I'm doing, i.e email, Ebay Turbo lister, and similar. If I can see the picture using Windows Explore I can attached it with out problems. I'm able to see all the pictures with Windows Photo Gallery - no problem. 99% of my pictures are edited with IrfanView 4.0 and are saved as .jpeg, .bit, and .gif. First I thought it was only files I had transfered from my XP desktop with a USB memory stick.
This is not the case. It happens even now with pictures I'm editing using IrfanView on my laptop. Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not. I don't save my pictures in the default Windows picture folder - they are mostly saved in the folder of the program the will be using the picture, such as an picture folder in the Turbo Lister folder. I use Windows Explore a lot to drag pictures from one folder to another if needed be. Today I noticed a button on the Windows Explore which says: "Compatability Files". When I move the pointer over the button it says: "Show the compatability files for this directory". So, I clicked it and suddenly all the pictures I couldn't find were there. The problem is that all the pictures I could already see dissapered and so did the "Compatability Files button". The only way I could get back to the previous pictures was usingv the "Back" button. In both views there were files in different save format and files edited both on my Vista laptop and my XP desktop - no special pattern to this - some here, some there. Either way I can't find the so called "Compatability Files" when I want to use the pictures with different programs - I don't get an option to switch to the "Compatability Files" when trying to attach them to whatever I'm doing. Is there somewhere I can change some setting so I see the pictures all the time with any program I use?????

For a while now, Vista thinks ALL my folders are either music folder or Photo folders so I get Music or Photo related information in the explorer bar such as Burn instead of New Folder And the list shows Artist, Album, Genre, Date taken. Instead of Creation Date, type, size and so on. It's driving my nuts. I can't work like this. How do I change all my folder so it shows the standard "PC Geek Tools and infomation" and not the

I found a tweak on tweakvista a while back that changed explorer to always open in explore mode, so no matter what folder I opened, it was always in explore... in xp I changed this setting in folder options, under the folder types, but I can't find this setting anywhere - I have searched and searched, but I can't find this tweak again!

The answer was DEP (Data Execution Protection)was shutting it down to protect my computer..What's the problem??? Norton internet Security up to date and nothing found with complete system scan..Vista up to date as well.

I ran the patcher that came with this Vista theme SoulGlass by ~bubito on deviantART and now some windows have Aero and others have what looks like a messed up windows classic theme. I tried using vista glazz to patch it back. I tried restarting multiple times. I tried switching to classic theme and back. Nothing works. I have Vista Ultimate 64. Here's a screenshot.

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..

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit version. I moved my Documents folder from the C: drive to my E: Data drive some time ago. When I open the Start Menu I now see "Data (E" on the button that used to read "Documents." I moved the folder to E: by right-clicking on the default "Documents" label, entering Properties/Location and indicating that I wanted the new location to be E: . The system did this, placing the Documents folder under E:.
This has not caused any problem until I tried to open Windows Fax & Scan today and I received a dialog window reading: "Windows Fax and Scan cannot run as it cannot access your documents folder. Please ensure that Windows Fax and Scan can access that folder." That's all very logical, but it doesn't tell me how to do this. How can I point Fax and Scan to the new location of my Documents folder?

when I open Windows mail - to make matters worse I use a French version! When I open Windows mail, the column on the left which normally shows all mail box files doesn't appear. If I click on "dossiers local" which is the main list of all files in Windows mail, then the full list of files comes up on the right hand side. I then have to click one by one on each title for it to be transferred to the left hand side (sorry for the non-computer language). I have looked at the French forum but can't find a solution. I amalso trying to find out what OS I'm using (64 bit or 32 bit) so I can download an update which might fix the problem Can anyone assist. Plus which, certain emails have "This message can't be sent" "a problem has been encountered". I'm completely stuck on what to do!

So ever since I got my computer I can't get the sidebar to work. I can bring it up and add gadgets but they don't function properly and they only have an X on the right hand side (no magnifying glass to edit options). So basically, the sidebar works but the gadgets don't?? Some of the graphics will show up but they don't function...this is very frustrating and I've spent lots of time trouble shooting and trying to figure out possibilities

I have an Acer Aspire 5103 running Windows Vista Premium and using Firefox. I have not downloaded a third party firewall. Every 2 minutes or so the red shield appears in the icon tray and when I click on it it tells me the firewall is deactivated. I activate it, it goes on and then two minutes later off again!!!

Have a problem with all of the USB ports on my Dell Laptop. It has been fine and the USB ports were all working. I have gone to use them and have tried to attach a memory stick, digital camera, and other devices and nothing is being recognised. The devices work on other computers. I dont really want to have to reinstall vista again as I will lose everything.

I cannot get into my windows mail. Every time I try, the windows security pops up and asks for my user name and password for my server. I do not have a clue what that is and have tried everything I can think of. I am a computer "dummy"! Have multipule emails that come in through windows too.
