Windows Explorer Wont Start On Startup / Does Not Run Through Run From Task Mngr

Jul 31, 2007

after searching for around 3-4 hours now, i decided to try this place.okay, the problem for me is this.i dont know if viruses are the deal here. maybe they are, since i have an unknown program running and i dont know how i got it, called fhdaumwA (couldn't find any info on google) and some other junk like Ta_Start and Think-Adz.if they are the real reason for this problem then i am very sorry and i will post this in the virus removal section.but the reason i believe this is not a virus problem is because my cpu is normal (2-5% usage).windows explorer does not open at startup, and only the background image is displayed.aka- no toolbar, no right click dropdown, etc.a few hours ago, if i ran explorer.exe from run using ctrl alt delete it would work for around 2-5 seconds and then shut down again, leaving only the background image.so. during those few seconds i attempted to open my computer the window closed right when explorer.exe shut down again, leaving the background image.i decided that maybe updating windows would help from Microsoft updates.apparently it made the situation worse, since explorer now does not even open up at all, (if 2-5 seconds is anything anyway...)i have searched many places and all places do not have an answer for me or i cannot actually perform the steps to clear it (my system restore does not work.. the system root system32 store.

Task Manager & Explorer.exe Don't Run On Startup

Aug 8, 2009

So basically my computer is not doing just about everything - I am lucky for it to be working right now. So much errors - explorer.exe does not run at start up - task manager sometimes is disabled by administrator (but works sometimes, like now, so that i can run explorer.exe from it) - windows live communictaions always has problems - MSN, not working, just freezing. There has also been shortcuts to porn sites and gaming sites put everywhere. CMD is not working either, hardly anything is. I have no idea how to fix it, someone said something about a SkyNet virus but I think it's more.

Start Menu / Task Bar And Desktop Icons Do Not Startup

Sep 7, 2005

Can anyone help? I ran Spybot and deleted all identified problems. Now when I reboot, and anytime I startup, I get to blank wallpaper with nothing else. I can run task manager to get to all apps OK, but this is not very useful.I tried running from a previous known good state, but nothing changed. I also tried starting up in safe mode, but only get a black screen.

No Task Bar Or Start Menu - Ran Explorer.exe And Nothing

Jun 5, 2006

I have windows XP home edition running on a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop, and have recently done a windows repair, which set me back to service pack one. So I went to the site and downloaded all of the necessary updates, installed, and then went back a second time and did it again and installed SP2. I then received the BSOD when I restarted after SP2. So I started up using F8 to boot into the most recent configuration that worked, and there was no taskbar or start menu. I tried starting up normally, and it started up, but took forever loading (the screen that says loading your settings), and the taskbar is still not there, neither is the start menu.

Explorer Start At Startup

Jan 27, 2005

Mates amd64 overheated the other day because he was doing some hard core 3d generation overnight with it, non stop. Its just got the new fan to keep it cool, but when it restarts it now gets to the desktop, and then stops, shows no icons or anything. so i diagnosed it was explorer because of this. I do ctrl alt del andtell it to start a new process called 'explorer.exe' and I get this message:This file does not have a program accossiation for performing this action/ Create an accossiation in the folder option pontrol panel.

Explorer Crashes - Desktop Icons / Task Bar Tray Start Menu

Oct 16, 2006

My Windows Explorer keeps crashing. I loose my desktop icons, taskbar, tray and start menu. Windows minimize to just above where the taskbar should be. Usually I can re-start the explorer.exe in the task manager. It now flashes and then is gone again. I can't get it back. How can I get to the control panel with no start menu? I've tried an earlier restore point, restarted with last known good configuration. Nothing. I'm running windows XP Home SP2 all updates.

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.

Starting New Explorer-exe Task

Jul 18, 2008

I'm running Win XP Home and upon starting I get the following message(twice):userinit.exe ? Application Error.The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.Then it leaves my background without any functionality. I can continue the start up by ctrl+alt+del then starting a new explorer.exe task, which gives this message a few times:Rundll32.exe ? Application Error.The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.iThen once all the usual initial programs have started the topmost one is all that's left and the rest turns black, and it all gets messed up.I've looked up userinit.exe problems but none of them looked exactly like mine. Safe mode has the same thing except that there is no background (I don't know what safe mode usually looks like), and opening explorer.exe in task manager does nothing.

Jun 14, 2008

Recently, upon startup, i have been getting an error message that says "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It then asks me to tell Microsoft about the problem and i have the option to either send a error report or not to send one. Either way, after choosing one windows explorer terminates and restarts itself. Then the same error message pops up. Recently, when i keep sending the error report, after about the 4th or 5th time, my desktop will just freeze up

No Explorer.exe, No Task Manager, Just Wallpaper?

Mar 8, 2008

I was running BitDefender, and the day before, it had already deleted explorer.exe. But my computer was still working. I just had to use Task Manager to open programs. Today, whole running BitDefender, I was looking on the internet for a way to download another explorer.exe, and I found a zip file and downloaded it. BUT I can't unzip it without explorer.exe. And while scanning,BitDefender must have deleted my Task Manager. Now, when I start my computer,I have nothing ! No taskbar, start menu, icons, anything! Just wallpaper. And when I control-alt-delete, I get the menu, but when I choose Task Manager, nothing happens

Collapses Multiple Windows On Task Bar

Mar 24, 2005

I have to use XP only occasionally when housesitting for a relative. This version of windows has what is to me a major annoyance...whenever I open up more than 6 or 7 windows (multiple IEs to cruise web, messenger, folders, etc), it suddenly collapses them into one button on the toolbar.Then you can't quickly switch between windows...you have to go to the one button then a select from a menu which window you want to go back to.Hopefully this is simple setting fix, but I was not able to find it in toolbar options or in the "help" file.I'm just used to windows 98, and a lot of the "features" of XP really frustrate me.
