Internet Explorer 8 Crashes

Adobe Flash And Internet Explorer 8 Crashes
Anyone else have a problem with Adobe Flash Player causing IE 8 to crash?  The flash player is the newest version (Flash10c.ocx, version: 10.0.32.18).  I was on vista 32bit an had this problem.

Wiped the hard drive clean, installed windows 7 64bit and installed the latest flash player from adobe.  It has caused it to crash 186 times in the last 6 days!  I tried unistalling and reinstalling with no luck.  I know I can turn it off, but I need it for the majority of websites.

Windows Explorer And Internet Explorer Crash And Restart
I just cannot believe that Microsoft cannot get this operating system working. This is version 7 for crying out loud and the most basic of programs, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer 8, STILL CRASHESS ON A REGULAR BASIS! Oh how i wish that instead of adding more and more features I don't use or care about Microsoft would JUST FIX WHAT THEY HAVE AND MAKE IT WORK the THEY CLAIM it does!

I have wasted untold hours through the years searching through countless and basically uncategorized knowledge base articles, forum postings that are in no real order other than chronilogical, and industry articles to find out why something very basic doesn't work. I really try to be loyal to Microsoft but IF AFTER SEVEN VERSIONS you still can't get it right than maybe I need to try a Mac or at the very least go back to XP where i've had the fewest (note that I siad I only had the fewest problems not that I didn't have any problems!).

EXPLORER.EXE Crashes, MMC.EXE Crashes, Moviemaker.exe Error
I want to love Win7 so badly, but this is just crazy. I'm about to go back to good old XP, simply for the stability. I'm about fed up with Windows 7 after only using it for two weeks. Off of a brand new and formatted clean install, with only Norton NIS 2010, Itunes, Adobe Reader, and Firefox 3.5.7 installed, I get constant explorer.exe crashes.

Shortly followed by an mmc.exe crash, then it just gets caught up in a never-ending explorer.exe crash that only a reboot resolves, for a short time. All drivers are up to date, and all Win 7 updates have been applied.

I've even formatted and re-installed Win7 only to have explorer begin crashing a day later. This is all on a stock Dell Inspiron 545 quad core, 8GB RAM, etc. I'm very tech savvy and am about jump off of the Win 7 bandwagon. Maybe the Apple Mac commercials are correct, another fumbled attempt at a stable OS from Microsoft?

After extensive reading, it appears that many others are suffering through this ____ also. Some get it while attempting to right click any icon, some when launching apps, some, like me , for no apparent reason at all. I don't ever get the BSOD, but the computer is essentially non-functional due to explorer restarting all the time.

I've done a ton of reading and have tried sfc /scannow, which found no errors. I've tried shellexview, to no avail for the context handlers. I've uninstalled and re-installed all non-MS apps. I've tried everything that I've read, and it eventually starts crashing again. It is very random, and I can find no patterns that cause the explorer crashing.

It works for two days, then goes haywire. Sometimes it only works for an hour before the explorer crashes begin. And yes, this is a fully licensed and legal copy of Win 7 Pro that I purchased through CDW. A side note, this computer ran WIN XP perfectly. All hardware has been tested and is perfect. If anyone has found a fix for this issue, then please chime in! Below are the errors that populate the Event Viewer:

Activation context generation failed for "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryMovieMaker.Exe".Error in manifest or policy file "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryWLMFDS.DLL" on line 8. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested.

Explorer Crashes Constantly
I did an upgrade from vista home premium x64 to Windows 7 home premium a couple weeks ago and ever since, my Windows Explorer crashes at least 15-20 times a day.  Sometimes it happens when I am in Explorer, sometimes some other application will crash and I'll see the little window saying that Windows Explorer has stopped working and is looking for a solution to the problem (but there never is one).

I have an HP e9150t desktop  (product: NY810AV#ABA) with a i7 920 processor, 6 GB RAM that is just six months old. I have an Nvidia GTS250 graphics card.  All drivers and software versions are up to date.

Explorer Crashes Loading Update Program
I've run into an issue loading Windows Update that causes Explorer to crash everytime. A few days ago I tried installing a third-party Media Center plugin but the installer crashed... nothing surprising there except for when I tried to run Windows Update soon after, it failed to load and crashed Explorer. Fiddled around for a while and couldn't figure anything out, so I reverted to a Restore Point which fixed everything.

Tonight I tried to install Silverlight (downloaded from Silverlight website) and nearly the same thing happened. This time the Silverlight installer loaded, I click 'Install Now', but the box disappeared and never installed. Then I remembered Windows Update had the Silverlight 'optional update' in queue, so I tried to open up Windows Update only to get the same Explorer crash.

To eliminate the obvious, restarting does not fix it. Virus scan is completely clean. CHKDSK finds no hard drive errors. Etc. Here are the details of the crash:

Firewalls, Network Drives (NAS) And Explorer Crashes
My observations: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Two NAS servers, from QNAP. After a random period, Explorer hangs/crashes. This is with either the McAfee firewall or Kaspersky's. It looks like Windows looses the SAMBA connection and Explorer can't restore when an attempt is made to access the drives.

The Windows firewall works fine.. but ONLY if autodisconnect (a registry setting) is set to 0xFFFF (65536, max value). For other firewalls, this doesn't matter it seems. Failure occurs anyways. Did anyone see this as well ? In case of Vista there were no problems, but it's my understanding that the firewall support in Windows 7 is different.

Network Drive Searches Crashes Explorer.exe
So I have about eight Win7 Pro 64-bit systems in our office and 3 of them crash Explorer.exe every time you try to search a network drive from within Windows Explorer.  The other Win7 systems do not have this problem.  The 3 systems that have the issue do not experience the same crash when searching local drives, only network drives.

I tried uninstalling antivirus software, but that did not help. Below is the Event log description of the crash. The log also mentions ntdll.dll so I checked the file's  digital signature, date, and size on the suspect systems and everything looks the same as the systems without the issue.

Explorer Crashes When Control Panel Or My Computer Is Opened
I just upgraded to windows seven and now it has just started to crash windows explorer when i open my computer or control panel. Nothing else causes this issue. However, at the same time, programs can become unresponsive extremely easily and often. If i open too many tabs it becomes unresponsive for a few minutes.

Any help?

External Hard Drive Crashes Windows Explorer
I have an Iomega 120 GB external harddisk formatted with NTFS, and Windows recognizes it, it works, etc. However, when moving large volumes of data through the USB 2.0 connexion, the disk will stop, and if I try to kill the transfer in the task manager, Explorer crashes and doesn't recover. I connected the HD to a Mac using the Firewire connexion, and it works perfectly fine.

I connected it to a Linux machine as well, and although it still hangs, the system does not crash, and I can simply kill the transfer and remount the drive. Any thoughts?

Explorer.exe Crashes When Browsing Network Files
I am seeing Explorer.exe crash when opening certain network folders. It might do it two or three times in a row and then opens it ok. There is nothing special about the folders, they just contain regular files and folders (for example, no video or pictures files, etc). Just now, I can't reproduce it, if I do again, I'll post the error info. If I click to restart Explorer, a new explorer window opens - you don't get explorer back running your desktop and Start Menu.

These folders present no issues on any other OS. Is anyone else seeing this?

Asus Eee PC 1000HE Hybrid Storage Crashes Explorer
I recently purchased an Asus Eee pc 1000HE in Thailand. It came with no OS, so I decided to install the 7RC. So far, so good. No major problems yet, and I really like Win 7, but Asus offers 10G online storage with this computer. 

The software would not install, so I tried installing in compatibility mode, which seemed to go okay, but afterward, opening windows explorer would cause it to crash. I uninstalled the software, and all was good again. The disc that came with this has a few other utilities also, but I haven't tried them yet.

Explorer Crashes After Right Clicking On USB Key Drive Letter
does anyone know why Windows Explorer keeps crashing when I right-click on the USB drive letter in Windows 7? I used to be able to do this in Windows Vista: right-clicking gave me an option to run  a Norton AV scan on a USB key after I plug it in, so I can scan it before I access any files on the USB drive/key. After it crashes , system asks me to search for solution on-line, that's never there anyway.

Internet Explorer 8 = Bsod
first of all i'm not completely sure that it's actually IE that makes the computer go BSOD, since the picture i so blurry that you cant really make anything else out than the colours... but today it has "died" twice, both times while surfing the internet respectively on wikipedia and facebook.

Of course it could also just be laptop giving up, since it is after all almost 3 years old. i don't know if it's of any use for you, but it's a HP Pavillion dv5113eu with the following specs ( completely standard): AMD Mobile Sempron 3000+, 1 GB RAM, ATi Radeon Xpress 200M (128 MB dedicated) and a 60 GB HDD

the installation is completely clean, except that i've installed Office '07 Enterprise, Winamp, Avast and Windows Live Messenger.

[UPDATE!]

I've Found out that the reason for the blackouts appears to be over-heating. even though i still have no idea as to why the BSOD looks strange. will upload pic soon.

Internet Explorer 8 Freezes
Installed Win 7 on May 5. Seemed to work well. Started having problems with IE8 freezing when it opens. Sometimes I can ctl, alt, del and close it out, but more often I have to reboot. I also have firefox and it seems to work fine.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

Internet Explorer Cannot Connect
I run a dual-boot Vista x32 and Win7 x64 machine.I live on a college campus.On my Vista install, IE works perfectly and I have no connection issues with any programs (I use Firefox as my primary browser).On my Win7 install, Firefox works perfectly, but IE and many other programs cannot connect to the internet (iTunes store, Steam, and the World of Warcraft Launcher).

IE does not appear under "programs and features" or the "turn windows feature on or off" list. IE appears in the start menu, but cannot connect to the internet, and the automatic troubleshooter cannot identify the problem.I had to install Firefox off of an external drive to get an internet connection in Win7 in the first place.

Firefox is set as my default browser.It would appear that all of the other programs that cannot connect to the internet are IE-dependent, making IE the source of all these issues.I would like to re-install IE, but I cannot find a download of the installer for Win7 anywhere.Any advice?

Internet Explorer 7 Error
I posted on another thread but I realized it was a thread set as an answer but it didn't answer my question. I had IE7 on Vista worked perfect. Google Chrome worked before install and works now. But IE7 shows page cannot be displayed for everything. Just wont load. I have read and read but cant find a solution. I also cant find where to uninstall this and any attempts to go to IE6 have failed.

IE8 will not install for reasons already posted. I don't care of IE7 much but there are some programs that I use that need it because they wont use Chrome. I also went to windows update and none of the updates solved the problem. I was getting AC_runactivecontent.js. on Google Chrome but I fixed that problem.

Firewall And Internet Explorer
In my Windows Firewall, Public connection Allowed programs there are 2 entries for Internet Explorer. One checked Public other (Private) but box on left is not checked. Why are there 2 entries, or any since logically Windows Internet Explorer & Windows Media Player should be considered (like Live Mail which is not listed), as Core Networking, why are they there at all?

Random Freeze Internet Explorer
My windows 7 randomly freezes. For example, if I stay on a page on internet explorer for a few minutes, then go to click on another tab or on an icon down bottom to switch to a different program like chrome or the button to go to the desktop it freezes up.

The only solution I have found is to hit ctrl-alt-delete click anywhere the hit start task manager. Then it unfreezes and works fine. Has anyone else had any simular issues or know how to fix this issue. 

To keep from getting the same question asked over and over I am running a 3.4 gig P4 processor with 3 gigs of memory.
