I'm running windows 7 ultimate 64 ... I dont know totally system specs. It's a custom rig that I purchased about 6 months ago. I dont think the specs matter anyway because I don't believe this is a hadware problem, but a windows problem. So about a month ago I was unlucky enough to pick up a virus infection somewhere ... those fake antivirus ones that totally destroy your system . It started this whole chain of events that lasted two weeks and ended up with me running in safe mode for more than a week trying to fix the problem. I tried restoring my computer via system restore a few times and got an error every time - (which in turn 'damaged' my restore points so I no longer can use this option)
So, I figured I would reinstall windows and fix it. Sadly, whatever was on my comp as turned my CD drives (DVD and bruner) into dead weight - they won't read a thing. So I got Dlite and mounted the CD to a virtual drive and tried to install it that way, but for whatever reason it gives me an error and reboot and wont finish the install. It does however take me too the new log in screen, which gives me an error when I try to create a new log in for the new windows.
I was able to get back into the old windows install and managed to delete the new one. Anyway .. I eventually was able to get spyware docter and a few other programs to run in safe mode and I cleaned the comp of all virus's BUT when I tried to run windows normally it would barely run at all. Start up was slow, browers would either not open at all of freeze when they did, and eventually windows explorer would just crash and I would have to reset to computer.
Eventually I just gave up and ran the comp in safe mode to do the things I needed to do. two weeks ago I decided to give it another go and try and fix it and when I loaded windows normally it ran fine - absolutely no problems what so ever. Then 2 days later it started the freezing and crashing again. I would run it in safe mode and run spyware doctor (thinking I am infected again) and it would remove minor stuff like tracking cookies and such, when I would restart it would run fine for about a day and do the same thing again.
my computer is about a month old. i am running windows7 (64 bit) and my browser if firefox. whenever i view a Internet video, once it's over, it hangs up for about a minute. i get the message "adobe flash plugin has crashed".
I use FF on Windows 7 and FF and Adobe Flash keep crashing when I play games on Facebook. I would like to go back to Windows XP because I did not have this problem at that time. I have tried to uninstall or clear Windows 7 but it won't allow me to go back to Windows xp. Sick of my programs constantly crashing. Definitely something to do with Windows 7.
I have an excell spreadsheet located on the server. It contains hyperlinks to PDF's located in a sub folder in the same directory. When I try to follow the link, the adobe window appears for a second and crashes without opening the file. It will do this over and over again. I can open the PDF's directly without any problem. Also, if I open Adobe and keep it open, the PDF's will open via the links with normal functionality. None of the this behavior was present when I was running XP Professional.
I cannot get the thumbnails coming up in explorer on win7 sp1 professional.I have all the .psd, jpeg, .bmp, .cr2, raw and everything else working but not the .PDF.I have tried everything, uninstalled, reinstalled, foxt pdf, x-change pdf and all sorts of thumbnail tweaks you name it, deleted acrobat reg entries etc etc.......I tried the fix created by the pretenciousname person who made a proggy to fix the issue, didnt work.
Everytime I attempt to click on something on my desktop or taskbar, etc it says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" but luckily I can double click and open firefox.Whenever I try to right click something or open an explorer window it says this and gives me this:
I have been getting a lot of windows explorer crashes lately. I use C cleaner and malware bytes to keep clean. I also uses Avast for Virus scanner. I installed Hijack this but can't seem to get a log file out of it. There is a message that alerts me to change something in hosts. I can't find a a way to run a command line like previous windows versions.
I am using Windows 7 Home Edition (SP1), 64-bit, on an ASUS G75V laptop. Frequently, when clicking on a file, Windows Explorer crashes. These are the details of the problem as shown by the window that opens up when Explorer crashes:
Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: explorer.exe
A couple days ago I left for a trip with the family and did my routine shut off and unplugging of all electronics in the house (few years ago a lightning strike while I was away took out my washer and dryer). As soon as I came home and booted up my computer it was apparent something was wrong. After taking 15 minutes to load no matter what I clicked several seconds later an error message would appear saying that windows explorer had crashed leaving my desktop devoid of icons and not letting me do anything. After about 30 minutes windows explorer would reboot only to crash once anything was clicked. I attempted to run malware bytes and super antivirus but nothing would load and after waiting for a while windows explorer would crash once again. I attempted to use cntl+alt+delete to use the "new task" button to reboot windows explorer but as soon as task manager appears, windows explorer crashes. Following the next course of action I rebooted the computer in safe mode along with safe mode only to have windows explorer crash right after I clicked on anything. As a last resort I pressed the "window's repair" only to wait 15 hours and come up with nothing?
I saw this many times and there is a quick fix for some. You see Windows 7 x64 actually uses System32 explorer.exe and not SysWOW64. This is a problem because there is no explorer.exe in System32 (least not for me).
I recently purchased a used computer and i have had some issues. i re installed the OS Windows 7 home prem. ran hirens on the machine no errors in cpu or memory.. then when i let it run for a while browse the web or watch a movie the windows explorer will stop working and the window pops up trying to find solution after this happens it either BSOD with errors like Irql_not_less_or_equal....other error codes i have found are 0x0000001A and 0x00000024..and the most recent memory_management.. the crashes are all random its not like it happens after loading a certain program
I downloaded some movies and I wanted to watch them on my tv so I went to my downloads folder to copy the movies to my videos folder, however when I tried to click on the folder Windows Explorer just crashed. I have tried changing the thumbnails and that worked to an extent as I am now able to actually get into the folder but when I click on the video files windows explorer still crashes. I tried looking online for some solutions and thought it may have been a virus so I scanned my computer with Malwarebytes and it came up with nothing.
So here's my problem as the title says my explorer.exe keeps crashing to the point i cant even run in normal mode anymore.Safe mode works but crashs as well but less often.
-i tried reformating my laptop (clean install numerous time) -Runned malware byte and avast -runned scannow -Tried formating using windows 32 and 64 bits
None of those worked.Im currently using windows 7 64bits.
I have just set up 2x Medion desktops and a Asus Laptop with Windows 7 Home premium x32 and the install went good all the drivers are installed and up to date. However they are all going really slow at periods. They can be fine for hours then go slow if you leave it for a while it seems to sort its self out until what ever is causing it happens again
Nearly everytime i go to open my documents or my computer my windows explorer.exe keeps crashing repeatly. Ive tried running a virus and spyware scan and its not picking up any problems so im unsure
This keep happening when I play music and game. It won't go away, even after exiting out of it. I'm not sure if it's my sound card X-Fi Titanium HD or my AMD Xfire 6950 2GBs.

I upgraded from Vista to 7 back in September & other than the *random & occasional* crash of Windows Explorer, & I've been very happy with 7. Until last night.I was in the middle of (trying to) clean up & organize my video folders. Everything was going pretty smoothly until I tried to cut an .mkv & paste it to my desktop temporarily. As soon as I right-clicked on the file, Windows Explorer crashed. That was the first time it had happened in a week or so. After everything restarted, I tried again & I was able to cut & paste the mkv.
I'm running Windows 7 home premium (SP1) on a brand new Asus U36SD. I did my usual thing of uninstalling some useless bundled software & ad-ware like games etc. and then just running windows update on the system. I noticed the problems a while after installing both Firefox and VLC, as I hadn't really had to use explorer prior to that.
So first I was afraid it was a virus, but Kaspersky's free to use virus scanner cleared that fear. The next thing I tried was ShellExView, and used it to turn off all the non-MS context menu handlers. It didn't help at all. So I tried to use the registry fix by Andre Ziegler, and it went into the registry all right, but I don't get any dumps. So that's not working out.
System restore doesn't want to function, as it claims I have anti-virus software installed, which I don't, as I've removed the free Kaspersky's software. The computer is without an optical drive, so reinstalling the system would be quite a pain, and seeing as I've not really done anything significant to it yet (I hope), I don't see how it would really help me.
Or how to get the dumps to actually show up? I'm really in a bind, since the crashing is constant and it's basically rendering the laptop useless.
For some reason every so often when I right-click on the Desktop or the Recycle Bin, Windows Explorer will crash.
It will do this three or four times and then be completely fine for the rest of the day. I thought it was down to my Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio drivers, but now I am not so sure.
Anyway, here's the reports:
Description Faulting Application Path: C:Windowsexplorer.exe Problem signature Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
My Windows Explorer keeps crashing and restarting. When I checked the Event Log, it has apparently been doing this randomly since I had the software installed (replacing my Windows XP) 10 months ago. However, it is happening more frequently now. For the most part, the errors all refer to a 'timeout' when waiting for a response from different services. Latest error: A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the SftService service.
Over the past couple of days, whenever I open a windows explorer window, it crashes and restarts immediately. I read another forum that told me to copy windows explorer from C:/Windows to C:/Windows/System32. Since windows explorer kept crashing, I tried to boot in safe mode, but it got stuck on the "loading files" screen. I shut it down and tried to boot Ubuntu, but it also got stuck. Now my computer won't boot at all.
I am having this same problem: url...Only my files are Adobe Audition files.I followed the steps this guy used. I downloaded Altap Salamader and deleted what I thought was the offending file from the folder, used CCleaner to clear the bin and restarted. I thought I was home-free, but then I realized that it is some other file in that folder. I tried deleting all the files. No go. I tried deleting the folder. No go. I even tried just renaming the folder and it tells me I have to get permission from me. I checked my permissions. I ran as admin. I even enabled the super-admin profile and tried it there.I tried restoring a previous version of the folder and it tells me it's successful, but it remains the same corrupted version.
I'm using windows 7 home premium on an asus laptop. Whenever I use windows explorer to look at files it'll crash. It starts to crash much quicker when I am copying documents. It closes itself down the restarts fine. I have done a SFC /scannow which shows that only the Chinese mandarin language pack is corrupt.
I have also wiped the hard drive before which solved the problem, it then came back so I have just wiped the hard drive again. This time it has not fixed the problem. I am thinking of upgrading to Windows 8 while it is on offer but wanted to get my laptop fixed before I upgraded it, alternately will installing Windows 8 fix the problem completely because it is a brand new OS?
On Windows 7 x64Windows explorer crashes whenever I try to make a new folder or right click. I have disabled every non microsoft context menu using SellExView but that did not help. I think there is a way to get a stack trace and analyze it but I have no idea how to do that?
I'm looking for some assistance. I posted a while ago regarding this issue and I thought I had managed to find the source however, the problem has re-emerged again. I had submitted another update on my previous thread but haven't received
In summary, Windows Explorer regularly crashes - when I say regularly, I mean every time i access windows explorer.
I completed a repair install and thought this fixed the issue but it hasn't.
The crash is not related to any particular folder - it can happen when accessing My Docs or Prog Files, or any other folder.
