Explorer Open With Is Not Working Correct If More Then One
Jun 20, 2005
I have tested it on more then 5 computers with Windows XP Professional on it, with different applications on it. I got every time the same result. What I do: I select 2 or more files in the explorer by holding the CTRL or shift key. These files are all from the same type. Then do a right mouse click and select "Open With" What I get: I get at first for the first selected file a folder selection window with the headline MOVE. I cancel this action, then I get a 2nd folder selection window now with the headline COPY. I cancel this window again. Then I get the Program Selection Window I expect. I select for example Paint Shop Pro. Any other program has the same outcome. The program will start like expected. But now I must handle this procedure for any file I have previous selected inside the explorer. And the program will start again and
again.
I recently had a problem on my computer where Internet explorer was not working and would'nt open, and no windows based functions that used the explorer interface would work... So i downloaded the IE7 install package on my other computer and burned to disk to install. everything was going along fine, and when prompted to restart to finsih the installation i did so..... that is when "it" hit the fan.
Whenever I try to open a folder on my desktop, I get the below error message. I have a feeling it has to do with windows explorer not working. I have Norton Antivirus, Spy sweeper (could this be the problem?), and SP2.
Hard drive crash, transplanted HD to new computer which now has 2 hard drives, C & D. Problem is I cannot open Windows Explorer from desktop or any other location, from either drive. I get a message that says it "generates errors." And that it is keeping a log, presumably for use on some Day of Judgment. (I get around it for now by right-clicking My Computer and picking Explore from the pop-up menu.)I have gone to the usual download sites in search of WE, no dice.
internet explorer wont open and windows explorer giving problems as well done virus scan spyware nothing came back this is the error amgettingadrgipghze54 argdf has encountered a problem and needs to close and allso windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close error signature appname.windows .update.exe appver.1515.8784.0.81
I have a file with a non-windows extension (.LUP to be precise) which doesn't have an associated Windows-specific program. I have got a program called HexEdit (simple Hex and ASCII editor) which I didn't install (since it came from a colleague in a folder with just the .exe and files needed to run the program) and so Windows didn't populate the "Open With" programs menu with the program. When I try to add it (by Browsing for the .exe in the "Open With" menu) I click on the .exe, and click "OK" yet it doesn't get added to the list. I then tried to add the shortcut to the program to this list, but then I get the error message "[This program] is not a valid Win32 application". I've added the shortcut to the Programs folder in the Start Menu, yet still to no avail.So my 2 questions are: 1) How can I get rid of the shortcut which has now appeared in the "Open With" programs menu? and 2) Is there a way to get this .exe file to appear in this list (possibly by some Registry hack) without installing any 3rd-party programs (since IT at the company I work at gets really shirty about that sort of thing)?
Ever since I loaded MS-IE-8, I have found that '2' copies of IE open in Task Manager... I run a DELL-D800 (yes 7yrs old) w/ XP-sp3 and 1Gig RAM. With IE open twice - it is using upto .8Gig of RAM (not acceptable). Today (2010/04/02)I tried Google Chrome instead of IE - the first time it opened with only one copy in TskMgr - the second time it too now has 2 copies open... It went from blazing fast to as slow or slower than IE... And all the problems with IE are now returning with Chrome... What is causing this? Virus? Bug? Normal process?
I just repaired the wwwcoolsearch adrware infestation I just had.Now, after restart, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer are not working. I can access and view all of my other programs via TaskManager, but Windows XP programs are not working (Control Panel, Run...., Windows Explorer). Are there any tools I can use to fix my XP Explorer issues? I dare note Restore, because I haven't created a restore point for weeks due to history of fighting viruses that have lingered in the Restores of old.
I have a couple networked computers and on one I can't open a particular website but I can open it on the other
it's http://www.efax.com and for the life of me, it won't open on one of my PCs. I have tried 3 different browsers on the PC: Explorer / Firefox / Opera and none of them can open efax.com on the one PC......I am able to open other websites on that PC, however, when I get a page that occassionally doesn't open now, I am wondering if there is something amiss on the one PC......I still can not open http://www.efax.com
every so often on my friend's computer explorer.exe just stops working and the cpu goes up to 100% and everything takes for ever. the only way we have gotten it to quit is to restart the computer, but then it comes back later. does anyone have any ideas or solutions to the problem?
Hi everyone, newbie to this site. A co-worker of mine said she was having big problems with her computer over the last few days. She said its very slow and suddenly it won't connect to the internet (comcast broadband). Had her bring it in to me so I could take a look. Oh boy. Its running XP and found that it boots extremely slow. Once booted it slows down even further. So much so that I could barely get the computer to respond when clicking on the start menu. Fairly confident it is infected with a WORM. Tried connecting to the internet which did not work either.
I just built my first personal computer and using XP PRO 64-bit as my Operating System. The Issue I am having is the Internet Explorer 32-bit is not working after a few day. However,the Internet Explorer 64-bit does work just fine.I went back and reinstalled Internet Explorer and still have the same issue of the 32-bit not working.This leaves me without a way to us Outlook and be able to get any updates.
I recently had a virus on my computer and had a friend attempt to fix it. my computer gradually got worse and now the internet does not work at all. (internet explorer cannot display the webpage error message for all websites). i was going to reinstall windows xp but cannot find the disk. is there any way to fix my internet without being able to actually use the internet on my computer? also, while pricing new windows operating system disks i noticed there is an upgrade version and a regular version which cost about twice as much. can i just purchase the upgrade version or do i need the full version?
I extensively use the run dialog, as a quick way of navigating to drives / folders in explorer, however this has recently stopped working.If i now type a directory (e.g. C:Windows) in the run dialog, I get an Open With dialog from which I then have to click browse and type c:windowsexplorer.exe every time
I've got a computer running windows xp and have not really had any problems until this morning,when i started the computer a message came up saying "windows explorer has stopped working.windows is collecting more information about the problem this might take several minutes" followed shortly by "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".i can't access anything as the screen is completely black apart from the mouse cursor which i'm able to move,but theres nothing on-screen.does anyone know if theres a way to fix this?
When I try to open Internet explorer, it tells me that iexplore.exe is missing,so basicly IE can not be opened.I tried to run it through start-> run , but he says that he can't find the file (C:Program filesInternet exploreriexplore.exe) I do have a internet explorer folder in program files,but i'm unable to open it.Normally,when you click on "Start", "internet explorer" is standing there too. Somehow I can't see it there.
When I click on the Internet Explorer shortcut, it opens a screen saying: Choose the program that you want to open this file with (Note: This will probably won't be the correct translation as it's a dutch computer).In this screen you can search for IE. By this i know for sure that it is iexplore.exe that is missing.When i do Ctrl-Alt-Delete , I can't see iexplore.exe running .
when I boot up I just get a blank screen. The Start menu has disappeared and all the icons on my desktop have gone away as well as the taskbar and the clock at the bottom of the screen. How do I get them back? I'm using XP and just downloaded the latest updates (six of which didn't work). Not sure if the latter had anything to do with it. I've tried starting explorer using ctrl-alt-delete then running explorer, but it still doesn't work as normal. A reboot doesn't work either.
my explorer.exe stopped working. I'm not sure if I got infected with some virus or what, but I tried many antivirus scans, offline and online based, and also did malware scans with adaware/spybot/spyware doctor. Nothing was found that could fix it. So, after spending many hours on it, I gave up on fixing it that way. My computer was still working, except for some things I couldn't do:
- no system restore - if I open the program an empty screen would show - since my explorer shell disappeared I had to get this program to browse through my files....
The left hand mouse button will not work on the desktop icons,nothing will open unless I use the right and open button. I'm running Win XP hope SP2. I have tried all the usual mouse settings that came with windows and the software for the mouse. The mouse I am using is wireless but I have also tried others with the same result
I just downloaded Explorer 7 I think it is. Problem I'm having is when I hit my back button or "backspace," explorer doesn't always respond. Why is this? It gets really annoying because in some instances I will have to hit the back button several times for the previous page to load
Ive been having problems with a virus lately. So i decided to purchase McAfee. Instead of going out and buying it, I bought it online where you can download it. But after restarting, the explorer.exe wont start up. And when i manually try to start it up, My Documents folder comes up.

I am running windows 2000,and I can not open internet explorer 6. I do not have firefox to use, however i am connected to the internet because my antivirus is updated daily., and was able to get emails through outlook express.
All Internet Explorer files ending in htm or html will not open. I get a window first from IE saying they have to close then a "Windows can't find."what ever I am trying to open at the time. I am a beginner at this and this is a royal pain. Also I am getting "Server Busy" box telling me to retry or switch to and when I do either nothing happens until I click a million times and finally a script error will come up.I am using Windows XP. Please help as soon as you can. I have some file work to do and this has stopped me cold.
I run Windows XP. Everytime I click on my internet explorer icon I get the following message: Ineternet Explorer cannot open the internet site http://my.yahoo.com/p/d/html?v.Operation aborted.http:my.yshoo.com is set as my home page. I can type in www.yahoo.com and access my mail, but if I try to click on the home button I get the same message as above.
I'm running Windows Xp x64 edition and just today, when I tried to open my Internet Explorer 32-bit edition, nothing would happen. When I clicked on my Internet Explorer 32-bit icon on the desktop I would get an hourglass symbol next to my mouse cursor for not even a second and then nothing. My Internet Explorer 64-bit edition and my Firefox work just fine, but I would really like to use my 32-bit edition because all my favorite sites are stored in there.
When I click on the IE ICON it will act like it will open but then nothing.I removed WIN XP SP3.I tried to to restore to an earlier time (useless as usual).I installed Firefox and have had no problems getting a great connection
