Right Click On File Crashes Explorer Takes Down Launch Bar
Nov 7, 2004
Whenever i open an explorer and right click on a file, it will terminate all open explorers as well as take down my launch bar (which will subsequently be rebuilt though). What i want to do is to delete a file, and it does not work with pressing delete either (same effect). But, as i said, the whole conext menu wont open. I am not really aware of newly installed programs, could be wrong on that one though.
I Right-Click On A AVI File To Select What Player To Play It In, I Recieve 'Windows Explorer Has Encounted A Error'.
If I Just Double-Click It, Opens Up Realplayer And That Crashes With A Similar Error I Have Tried Windows media Player To Play Files,But That Does Exactly The Same.Its Not Just Limited To One AVI File, It's All Of Them Done Virus Check, Spyware Check, And undo Check All Clear Now
I am building a new PC and had it running fine until I just noticed recently that whenever I right-click on the desktop to view Properties, Explorer.exe crashes hard and I have to reboot. The only thing I have installed recently is Office 2007 and SP3. Before I start uninstalling all of that I thought I'd ask the group if they have seen this recently. I searched for the error here and only found reports from pre SP3 users so I thought I'd ask first.
When i play/single click some video files (Xvid) explorer crashes, while its trying to build the thumbnail. These files are not in the my documents folder and can be played through one program that i have (VideoLAN)but most programs ie win media player cant play it.
when i am double clicking it takes more time to open a file ( any type).write click also takes more time. i have a lot of application installed in my computer thats why i cannot reformat.
I have a computer that quits explorer every time I try to click on the file menu, or right click on explorer and go to the new link. It also does this when i try to delete a folder in explorer or through my computer.
whenever I right click on a file inside Windows Explorer, it crashes (explorer.exe). It's not slow or anything, it just exits, the screen goes black for a bit, then goes back to the desktop.
The detailed error message is as follows: Faulting application explorer.exe version 6.0.2900.2180 faulthog module kernel32.dll version 5.1.2600.2180 fault address 0x0001eb33.
I have set a file to be opened when I double click it. However as soon as I simply selected any video file (have noticed this problem mostly with avi files), explorer crashes. Any clues? Can some help me... want to rename my video files but simply can't because I select the file and even before I press F2 or right click (to rename)the same explorer crash problem
I have been having a serious problem with explorer If i try and right click any file, explorer will hang, then my desktop and toolbar goes blank, the tool bar and desktop icons eventually return. The same happens if i left click the file menu button for explorer. Sometimes, (not everytime) a message appears telling me drwatson post mortem debugger has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. explorer.exe returns to the process list in task manager.
I have quite a bit of initial background information that really now only boils down to a fairly small problem, but It is all relevant information. A few days ago my computer started getting stop error messages, usually while browsing internet explorer. Sometimes they would just shut down IE, other times completley crash windows, causing an immediate re-boot, rather than the blue screen of death. Anyways, it would boot back up, saying it recovered from a serious error, cause by a device driver, or stop error. One of the remedies it listed was trying to do a repair of windows XP, which I ended up doing. It was only after I did this repair that I realized remembered what was causing the errors
windows xp crashes every time i launch video. i'm thinking it's some kind of plug-in problem...maybe java? any ideas to fix? maybe reinstall internet explorer or can someone give me some kind of idea which plug-in to load?
I am confused, but I will describe this best I can: explorer.exe crashes when viewing folders or anything built on explorer.exe (I guess) at exactly 11 seconds in on them. It also randomly crashes every couple hours. Im extremely confused by all this
When I double click over a file or right click to open it, it takes 30sec to 2minutes time. That really irritates me. Instead if i open the application i want and then drag the file over it...its really fine, no problems. but i am really fed up doing so...My exact problem....If i wanna listen to an mp3 file if i double click over that it takes 30sec to 2min...if i open the media player and drag the file over that....its fine
explorer kept hanging and crashing so I decided to uninstall Explorer 7, when I did, it never completed the uninstall. Said some files weren't found and couldn't complete it. NOW I cant get it to load at all the only browser I can get to work is the one on my real player. When it tries to launch I get this box that comes up and says c:WINDOWS/system32cmdexe I cant get the sytem restore to work either. Tho every scan I've run syas the system is fine. IT is not obviously. I am running XP home edition service pack2, with all the latest updates
My pc is so slow that it takes ages to play a song in wmp11. Ive used tools like ad-aware and registry mechanic, tune up utilities. But still no improvement. It used to be just fine, until I installed some pay-for-viewing add program. I have uninstalled it since then, but the slowness remains. And the processor is hogged, at the highest level, even though i killed many a startup processes.
every time i try to open anything that uses these programs i get a 'windows/internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close' crash i think i have a virus in my processes i have 2 strange ones one is n6tgoxae.exe the other is 86851316.exe norton fixes this is for a short while but then the problem soon returns i have also tried spybot search and destroy as well as running AdAware can anyone help me on how to fix my explorer problems and gettin rid of these processes?
Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.2180, faulting module netapi32.dll, version 5.1.2600.2976, fault address 0x0003952c. When a user is editing documents in Word 2003 from a network share, the Windows Explorer then shuts down and refreshes the desktop. The error message above is in the Application Event Log. the Event ID is 1000. Done some searches and tried a few things but still user gets this error. After this error in the Event Log another message is "The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted. The Event ID is 1002 for this one.
Is there any way that I can have my laptop, when powering up, automatically launch Internet Explorer and display the Home Page of my website on CD or from the Hard Drive?
I am having problems starting both Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer. Both generate the same error: "Internet (or Windows) Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The details show that ole32.dll is the guilty module. So far I've had no success in locating a solution. I am using Windows XP Home Edition. I should also note that the control panel won't function either since it is basically part of Windows Explorer.
For some reason, explorer.exe (nothing to do with Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer) sometimes shoots up and uses 100% of the CPU. Which makes the computer useless unless you shut explorer.exe down in the Task manager and restart it. I haven't been able to see a pattern. It's almost completely random, from what I've seen. I've got Service Pack 2 and all patches from Windows Update, plus any I could easily find for the motherboard.
About 3 minutes after boot up explore takes up 99-100% of the CPU. I go to task man (ctrl-alt-del) and go to the processes tab and turn it off. The CPU % goes to 0. Then I go to the aps tab and hit new task and turn it back on. In about 3 minutes we are back to 100% of CPU. I now run all my aps through task man but I need to use explorer to move my files around from one folder to another. How do I get explore to stop doing this. I run the virius scan but can't find anything.
I don't have the windows bar (the one with the start) and I can only run programs through the CTRL+ALT+DEL and having a new task created. I was contaminated with several trojans/worms/etc but I think now I clean, since i already run Spyware Dr. and Spybot. I also already run Trend micro online clean and I have avast antivirus installed.
My office comp is never on the internet but it got this issue:Got DR Watson Postmortem Debugger alert. Comp froze. This happens whenever accessing My Computer or accesing files in ext drives.In Safe Mode I tried Ad-Aware, SpySweeper, spybot, and some others.I disabled Dr Watson. Now I get this error when accessing problem areas on my comp;So when I click OK explorer crashes... but doesn't freeze up like it did with DrWatson enabled.
Sometimes (but not always) when I click on the checkbox in the upper right to close Internet Explorer, it takes a long time to close the window--up to 3 minutes. During this time I can't get to my desktop by clicking on the "show desktop" icon on my toolbar either.
Very often, explorer.exe takes 90-99 percent of processor time, and renders my system usless. I then have to end the explorer process and then start it back up as new task, using windows task manager. I am using WinXP home sp2.
