running Vista Home Premium x32...I turn on my Toshiba Laptop A305D-S6848 and I get the message that BOTH Windows Defender User Interface and Toshiba's Service Station have stopped working and need to close. It says it's checking for solutions (finds none of course)In addition when I go to use the flash cards it says Toshiba Flash CArds has stopped working shuts them down too. I read to go into the control panel and Performance Info & tools to fix that, but doing tells me that "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and it restarts, but won't let me access the Performance.... and I also can't open up any picture files with windows photo gallery because that also causes explorer to restart. I HAD fixed that, but now it's doing it again... and no, the images are not corrupted. I thought maybe I had a virus or something, but norton found nothing, and neither did adaware. I would run Defender, but it won't work... it just gives me the user interface message and crashes.
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 scanned my computer with Windows Defender every day last week and I still get the message you haven't scanned your computer for 9 days. Is there a way to reinstall Windows Defender? It isn't listed in programs and features for Vista.
I use the Vista Firewall plus AVG Free 8.0 together with Firefox 3.5 Browser with Adblock. I also carry out a periodic manual scan using AdAware Anniversary Edition free.
Vista comes with Windows Defender, but in the 2 years I have had Vista, whenever I have scanned with it, it always reports 'no unwanted or harmful software detected - your computer is running normally!' Very reassuring or what? Does this mean everything else is doing a really good job or could it mean that Windows Defender is really not much use?
my windows vista came with windows defender (i think all come) but i also installed ad-aware 2007 which is an antispyware program too.Is there any problem to have 2 antispywares on my pc?
I have a new Dell Studio Desktop 540 using Vista SP1. Very early on I started getting "Windows defender" error on screen "Application failed to initialize: error 0x800106ba. I was getting it on each startup until isolating via MS Config. The "Windows Defender" program does not appear in control panel. I went to "Windows update" page, as I arrived there it said on important update was waiting, by chance it was a windows defender update, I installed it and it worked and I was able to launch windows defender. As I had altered the start-up in MSCONFIG I restored it to normal start-up and machine started fine without any error.
However, when I select "Windows defender" from start-up menu I am getting the same 0x800106ba error code. The program does still not appear in control panel. HOWEVER! It now runs ok sometimes but not others! When it doesn't run I'm getting 0x800106ba error. Dell suggested I revert PC back to as built status, but as I have just spent 2 days putting all my programs on and the fact that 2 hours ago I proved Windows Defender does sometimes work perfectly well I'm not doing that. Next time it does run ok I thinking of uninstalling via add / remove programs and re-installing. Can't do it now as its not shown in the program list!
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?...............
The computer has worked fine since then, I've used the internet at wi-fi hotspots around my city, with never a single problem...until last night. While I was on-line at home, I was checking a website that I have always checked before without issue when my Windows Defender suddenly popped open and said that my computer was under threat and blocked Internet Explorer from me and started running a diagnosic. Well apparently it said that I had like 26 infections in my computer. That I had worms, spyware, adware, that someone was watching my key logs, etc, etc, and it gave me the option to click on the remove all. So I clicked on it, but instead of doing anything, another message box appeared saying that my Windows Defender is not the full version and that I must either purchase the full version or enter my key code for it. I don't have a key code since I never bought this program, was pre-installed.
Anyways, now whenever I try to open Internet Explorer, the Windows Defender pops up and says that my IE is infected and asks if I would like to purchase the full Windows Defender. I have clicked on both options. If I say "no", the computer blocks my IE, if I say yes, it opens my IE, but instead of taking me to a Windows website, it takes me to www.antivirus-care.com, which my browser says does not exist and instead takes me to another page with a listing of anti-virus program sites to buy from. Well, all this seems fishy to me because I can't do anything with the Windows Defender program. I can't turn it off, I can't change its settings, or even look at other options it has. Instead whenever I try the message window of "would I like to buy the full version now?" appears and keeps appearing.
For a couple of weeks now, I noticed that in WM11 for Windows Vista, I cannot get the radio station streams to play. Example:
WM11 | Media Guide | Internet Radio | New Age | Show All | Whisperings: Solo Piano | "Play".
Normally, the stream would start at this stage. It no longer does so. My first thought was to reinstall WM11. However, I cannot find it anywhere. The MS site refers to the XP version and WM11 doesn't appear in the Control Panel | Programs & Features section. My system: Windows Business x32 SP1 & IE 8 RC1
For quite a while I have been getting the message "Windows explorer has stopped working".whenever I try to right click a file in a file listing. I have been working around this problem but I'm getting fed up with it.
I 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.
the search function in vista no longer works - whenever i type anything into a search box it just sits there - it's not that it cant find a file, it doesnt do a search at all. ive tried: sfc, system restore, turned indexing, windows search on/ off also tried this: Index - Windows Search Service but nothing works
For four days every time I click on Windows Mail I get an immediate message: "The application has requested Runtime termination" followed by "Windows Mail has stopped working and will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I get no solution.ironically, I can access my email on Comcast website, so my POP settings are OK. Never ever had this problem.
I had problems with the "windows sidebar stopped working" messages appearing on a regular basis. I have only windows stock gadgets in the sidebar. A while ago I even removed one gadget at the time to see if it would stop crashing but it didn't. Yesterday I reformatted my computer because of another problem I had and one of the first things that happened was "windows sidebar stopped working". It happened again today. I still have almost only drivers and windows updates installed so what can be causing this problem?
After Update from Windows Update 090115, my IE7 has stopped working and responding. The IEUser.exe process is active but no window. Tried to run the IE in secure mode and reset IE7 but nothing happens. I've installed Security update for Vista KB958687 Windows tool remove of ... january 2009 kb960714 I don't know if it is these updates that crashes IE7.But I think it was after these it happened. Installed Firefox to be able to surf, but I want IE7 to be fixed. How can I fix IE7? /Vista Ultimate swedish 32 bit
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Quicktime was working perfectly until yesterday when I tried to install the newest version of iTunes but the installation failed (I received "Cannot Open Key:"error) When the iTunes installation failed, it took Quicktime with it. I navigated to the key in question and found 3 iterations of it. I set the permissions to full and tried again but every time as the program installation neared completion, I would see an icon for Data Execution Prevention appear in my system tray. I have tried to set the Quicktime installer to be ignored by DEP but no luck. I also get the "Windows Installer Stopped Working" Box some of the time and when I click on more details it seems to point to MSIEXEC.EXE. I have visited Apple's forums, COMPLETELY uninstalled Quicktime, iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Software Update and Apple Applicaton Support several times per their instructions in these articles I would like to have both Quicktime and iTunes on my PC but if that is not possible, I need to get Quicktime back by itself as a program I use often (Starry Night Pro 6) and paid $150.00 for won't run without Quicktime 7.0 + (I was able to install Quicktime 6.5 successfully but Starry Night won't run with it). Please help as I have already spent about 10 hours working on this! I am unable to use System Restore to roll back to before I tried to install iTunes-there are about 20 restore points but they are all after I tried to install iTunes.

I just bought a HP Pavillion laptop a few weeks ago and everything was working fine. But the only problem is, MSN messenger keeps on going: Windows Live messenger has stopped working every time I open it. But I just ignored it. The next day, I couldn't download anything from my computer. It will just pop up and ask me where to save it then after that, it dissapears and my downloads are no where. Then I fixed it by installing IE 8 (I'm not sure how I could've install that...). Now my IE stops working almost everytime. I can only open the one that says: Internet Explorer (64-bit). Can anyone tell me what's the problem with my computer and how to fix it?
After installing 2 updates the USB ports on my docking station stopped working (they still work on the PC). The updates were: 1) Update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB960353) and 2) Cypress - Other hardware - HX2LP kit (3.03.0000.2). I have tried system restore but it failed - said it didn't restore. (this always happens - any idea why?) The Cypress update does not show up on Programs & Features, so I am unable to uninstall it.
As near as I can tell, I have WMP version 11.0.6002.18111 installed on my Vista Home Premium system. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not sure when the problem arose, but whenever I try to play a file or even just open the player, I'm informed it has stopped working with the following information provided:
I can't track down the correct files at the MS site to reinstall, and I'd rather not use System Restore since I'm not sure how far back to go or how many things would be undone.
i open windows media player and putsomething to play, a small windows pops up and says that windows mediaplayer has stopped working and it says its looking for a solution. After a while it says " a problem caused this program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." then it closes the program with my consent. This never happened to me on my xp pc which had WMP 11. This is happening on my new vista pc that's just a few days out of the box and i even have full norton anti-virus protection. So is there any way to fix this problem or do i have to use some other program?
I am running Windows Vista-Home Premium Edition-X64 bit-SP2. I am trying to play a game and I keep getting "Windows Media Projector has stopped working". I just seem to have trouble with this game only. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
I don't know if my Threadtitle fits the exact English message (doubt it) but that's my Problem. Since the start of my PC today my Windows Explorer stopped working, everytime i click on Computer or Control Panel. It always just restarts the Explorer and i got the same again. By searching the Error via Google i found 1000s of Topics about this Issue
I get the following error message when I try to open windows media center: "Windows Media Center has stopped working'' and I can not open it. I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I tried doing system restore and it doesn't help. I am able to open Windows Media Player though, and can play DVD's and CD's through there, but can not open media center, to access the tv features.
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.
Windows Media Center worked before, but a few weeks ago after viewing a recorded TV (maybe a hour or so) show it would crash. Now when it opens it crash right away.
