Explorer.EXE Not Working, No Application Launching After Theme Install?
Jan 30, 2012
Shortly after installing a theme (I can not remember as I can't get into the file system) which is as far as I can see a perfectly legitimate theme (recommended by a user from overclock.net) explorer.exe hasn't worked. I installed it, it asked me to restart explorer.exe by pressing the button. I got the error that it could not start. Itrecommended that I restart the computer before all changes take place. I assumed that I had to restart the computer for Explorer.EXE to work. It did not. At startup, the following happened and now does every time I start it up: (A note, sorry for the low quality photo's, I'm letting someone using my DSLR as they're on holidays.)Everything goes seemingly normal in the BIOS.FYI, the debug code on the motherboard is AA so all is fine according to the debug code.Just before Windows logs me in (just after the Windows logo at boot) there is a blacks screen displayed for a significant amount of time. As I have an SSD, it shouldn't be there and it shouldn't take that long.
Before I get to the desktop, the following errors come up:his is what the desktop looks at login. Firstly, there is not start menu - which means no explorer.exe. Secondly, why has this application started up? Nothing else seems to be able to but this application however manages to. Is it because it uses it's own UI? Nothing else seems to startup. Hmm.I press ctrl+alt+delete and the following comes up as usual: I click "start task manager" and the following error comes up then decided to start the computer up in safe mode.Same errors as before: This is what the desktop looks like, no start menu there:I press ctrl+alt+delete and the normal ctrl+alt+delete screen comes up. Same taskmanager error as earlier.I next boot into safe mode with command prompt. This time only this error comes up: (that is, unless I missed the explorer.exe error or I subconsciously clicked the ok button which is a possibility)

For the past few days, if not a week now, I've noticed that when I switch to Basic theme for RAM intesive programs like Adobe After Effects, Windows is quite slow, almost running as though my laptop is 1GB not 2GB RAM.Though when I switch to Aero theme, Windows is only slightly slower with Adobe After Effects running. My laptop is Compaq Presario CQ56, 2GB shared graphics and I can't explain why the Basic theme is running slow whereas Aero is responding faster, so much so, programs tend to stop responding more frequently on Basic. I have run MSE, MBAM and SAS (MSE realtime, others are standalone mode) and found no viruses and I update them all either daily or every two days. I only have Realtek Audio and MSE on Startup so I can't figure out why this happening!

I use Legacy to record our family genealogy.If, using Legacy I use "Open File" it lists the 5 application files I have available.However, using Explorer it lists just 1 of these 5 files.When I compare the properties of the file I can access with Explorer with one of those by access of Legacy, I notice that all settings are the same with the exception of ttributes on the Details tab: the former shows and the latter Question: Is this the problem? What does it mean? Is it important to have

Sometimes if I open a file by double clicking it in windows explorer, it will sit doing nothing (and that explorer window is then tied up) for a few minutes! Then the file opens normally in the correct application. But opening the application first, and getting it from the file open menu, or dragging the file into the open application is ok. The problem goes away if I reboot windows, but can come back again later for no apparent reason.

Lately whenever I attempt to install a new application I get the "application has stopped working" error message. Has happened now with several different applications. Sometimes I get an installation error 1001. Does anyone know why this occurs? Do I have a corrupt system file or registry? I have tried several different registry cleaners to no avail.

Whenever I install any application or a program then I want that app or program to give me the option where I want to install it. Currently, they all are being automatically installed in C drive which I don't want.

Our office has an old program that we still need to use when upgrading our PC's to Windows 7. The program will run fine if you start a windows virtual PC and install and run it. However, based on the needs of our office, I need to be able to run Windows XP mode and simply have an icon for our users to click to take them to the application.If I install the program in windows XP mode, and then add a shortcut to the file under all users/start menu, a shortcut is placed in the appropriate place on the windows 7 machine and I can copy that shortcut ot the desktop. The program runs fine until you restart the computer. Once you restart the computer and double click the link on the windows 7 desktop to the program running in windows XP mode, it says:
Cannot start virtual application. The application is blocked from running as a virtual application.
I read some other posts saying to put a new shortcut in the all users/start menu folder. This works, but only until our users restart their computer. The next time the computer is up, the problem happens again. This is not an acceptable solution to have to create a new shortcut for each workstation each time the computer is restarted.

I am having a vexing problem possibly relating to the windows 7 system partition.I recently bought a new HP Pavilion dv-7 laptop running x64 windows 7 HE installed a 500GB 5400 RPM hard drive. I installed Fallout 3 at the time and it ran beautifully.Because the notebook had a second drive bay, and I wanted more speed, I purchased a 128 GB Crucial M4 SSD and installed it. Of course, in order to take full advantage of the SSD it was necessary to do a fresh OS install on the new drive. I installed a clean, bloatware-free version Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on the new SSD and ran as a dual boot as I moved files around and got my drivers in order. I then formatted the slower disk drive so as to leave the fresh install of Ultimate as my only OS. In this way, I planned on using the SSD for windows and crucial application data, and to partition for a dual boot with Ubuntu in the near future. The old, larger disk was meant to be used for data such as videos, music, and games.Somehow in this process, however, the 200MB system partition remained on the original hard disk that had housed the factory install of w7he. I did not notice this complication until I tried to reinstall Fallout 3 on the original disk. I need to install the game in the second drive because it is huge and space is at a premium on the SSD. The installer now gives me an error, telling me that it cannot install on the old HD because "it is a system disk". This is distressing because: 1) The data partition on the drive is NOT the system partition, which of course cannot been seen in explorer and 2) I was perfectly able to install the game on the disk when the factory OS was installed there. Anyways, I could really care less about the game. I am worried that this is going to be an ongoing problem with future installs and who knows what else.I am not 100% it is the system partition being on the same drive that is throwing a wrench into the works. I also (perhaps stupidly) chose the drive path as the location of my system restore files when I activated system restore.

After an auto-update and reboot, a Dolby error popped up saying "The current Dolby audio driver is 7.2.8000.13 and the software application expects driver version 7.2.7000.11. Please install a valid driver and software application combination." What can I do? I can't find any downloadable updates anywhere.
