Windows 7 Explorer Doesn't Open?

Dec 20, 2012

Whenever I try and access Windows Explorer nothing happens. It lights up for a bit like it has been selected but the window never actually opens. Task Manager indicates that Windows Explorer never actually opened. I need an answer to my problem soon because it is essential that I am able to manage my computers files.

Windows 7 Explorer Doesn't Work?

Feb 11, 2013

Just got this computer about two weeks ago. My old XP Pro finally crashed and burned. I miss that machine. Win 7 is crap as far as I am concerned. Problem - Windows Explorer absolutely does not work. I try to copy and paste between drives or even on the same drive. Program starts out great and gets down to near the end and reads 5 seconds remaining. That is the end of the copy and paste. Furthermore, it is an ordeal to shut the damn program off. Sometimes I even have to pull the plug on the machine (and yes I know that is not good). I thought for a bit that some throttling program was the culprit but I am getting nowhere.

Open Lid And Windows Doesn't Wake?

Jan 23, 2011

I saw one of the features of Windows 7 was the instant on after the screen on a laptop is closed. However, on my Samsung Q330 - If I open the screen I have to press the power button to get the computer to wake. How can I change this so when the screen is opened the computer wakes up?

Windows Explorer Doesn't Refresh After Copy / Rename / New Or Delete

Jan 29, 2012

Usually, when you create/rename/delete a file/folder in the directory in Windows Explorer, it will add/renamed/remove automatically without refreshing.However, I have this issue where if you do any of the above, it doesn't refresh until you press F5. I tried to see if its a driver issue by booting into Safe Mode but it didn't work in there.

Windows Explorer Doesn't Recognize Added Hard Drive

Aug 1, 2012

I recently attempted to add a hard drive to my Lenovo W520 laptop using a CD/DVD caddy accessory designed to hold a SATA hard drive.Windows recognized the new device and according to its messages, automatically installed the required device drivers. However, when I go into Windows Explorer, the new drive is nowhere to be found.Now, I know (or at least assume) this new drive probably needs to be formatted, but shouldn't it show up within Windows Explorer even in a pre-formatted state?

Windows' Explorer Won't Open On Top

Aug 27, 2011

Windows' explorer will not open on top. If I've got other applications open and I click on the 'My Computer' icon in the taskbar the Explorer window opens behind the window of the opened application.Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but I thought those windows used to open 'on top'.How do I restore the old behavior?

Windows Explorer Won't Open

Apr 1, 2012

Whenever I try to open an Explorer window to manage files on my hard drive, the folder icon will appear on the task bar, but no Explorer window will be open. If I click on the folder icon on the task bar, instead of opening an Explorer window, the folder icon will appear in the system tray area. If I click on the folder icon in the system tray area, the folder will jump back to the task bar, and still no Explorer window will open.

Can't Open Graphics From Windows Explorer Into Psp?

Jun 13, 2011

I have a newly set up windows 7, 64 bit computer. I have Paint Shop ProX installed. I have most of my graphics associated through windows7 to open into pspX. I also have the preferences in pspX to open graphics.When I double click a graphic, whether gif, jpeg, psp, psd, pspimage...pspX program will open, but I get the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program".I had to open a jpeg attachment in picture viewer, in order to see it. Could Microsoft have something against letting non MS programs over ride their own programs? I have a friend who has the same windows7 and pspX program, but she does not have the problem.

No Programs Responding - Cannot Even Open Windows Explorer

Mar 27, 2012

I just started up my Laptop (Sony Vaio 2.6GHz | 4GB RAM | ATI Radeon | Windows 7 Home Premium) and none of the programs on my laptop are responding when I click on them to start them. Not even Windows Explorer opens. Nothing responds. I can open the windows start button, but that is about it. The PC is still under warranty, so it's quite new (4months). I also take great care of it, I do not load all sorts of crap on it. Only the essentials.

It all started yesterday, when my PC became really slow and I had to restart it, where it literally took 10 minutes too shut down (NO windows updates being installed...). I restarted it, ran a check disc for bad sectors, and it found none. Only a few bad clusters. I also ran - sfc /scannow command in cmd. However, when I open some of the programs (non windows system programs such as explorer and task manager), it gives me the following error: "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion".

Windows 7 Explorer (Libraries) Open On Every Computer Startup?

May 18, 2011

I have a HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment Laptop. Lately, when I start up my computer, Windows Explorer (Libraries) open automatically. I can close it out with no problem but find it annoying to see it on EVERY startup. I don't know if something happened during a HP or Windows update or if possibly picked up some spyware or malware somewhere. I ran scans with Avast anti-virus, Spybot S&D, and Malwarebytes with nothing serious showing up...just cookies.Everything seems to run properly with no problems but this showing up on startups/reboots, opens on safe mode also. I checked to see if anything in startup folder...Nothing. I checked msconfig settings...can't find anything unusual.[CODE]

Can't Open Any Folders In Windows Explorer With Double Click

Mar 11, 2011

Like my title read, I can't open any folders in my Windows Explorer with a double click. It gives me the error message "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." This also happens whenever I try to open any drives, such as C: drive. I can however run programs from Windows Explorer, and can right click, then choose open to open folders.

I have already done extensive searching on the subject, tried deleting autorun.ini files, tried some registry fixes, with no luck. I'm obviously running Windows 7, 32-bit, on a HP desktop.

Can't Open External Hosted Ftp Site In Windows Explorer

Nov 8, 2011

I know this has come up in other threads, but I've been unable to find a resolution. I'm trying to upload files to an ftp site hosted by the software company whose program I'm using, but I can't open their ftp site in Windows Explorer. I'm using IE9, and running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.

To address the common responses right off the bat:

1-Under internet options advanced tab I have "enable ftp folder view (outside of internet explorer)" checked, as well as "use passive ftp"

2-I do not have a Windows Firewall turned on.

3-When I try to connect to the network location in order to create a shortcut, I get an error saying the ftp site is incorrect, even though I'm copying and pasting the address from the URL to the command menu.

4-Alt-F, View, open in Windows Explorer gives me an error message saying the site can't be opened in Windows Explorer.

I'm on a network, and we're all running the same systems, but for some reason my boss' and my co-worker's computers allow me to open the ftp site in Windows Explorer without error messages.

Very Slow To Open Files From Windows Explorer - Ok Within Application

Nov 28, 2011

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.

Internet Explorer Doesn't Work At All

Sep 16, 2011

Basically my internet explorer doesn't work. It just hangs on loading pages and eventually gets this error:

"This program cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes: You are not connected to the Internet. The website is encountering problems. There might be a typing error in the address."

I can still access the internet through chrome and Firefox though so it's an IE issue. I also can play online games fine.

Anyway, programs like Skype that use IE to load stuff such as adding contacts doesn't work. I have tried the following things:

-Reset internet explorer
-Downgraded to IE8

I am running windows 7 32 bit and am on cable.
