It was working fine for a week then a few days ago i started to to "windows explorer has stopped working error messages and then a windows explorer is restarting" these two messages just reloop constantly and i can access any programs except via my browser.

| Are you up to date with all updates ? have you tried searching 'help' in the main menu (the OEM will have added machine specific help that you wont get at Microsoft ) You don't say when this happens, which would be useful to know, if it was working say a week ago try rolling it back using system restore to a time when it was OK, if you have recently installed any software or drivers before this happened then remove them again and see if the problem is helped....................it's easier to help if you post more detail like the make and model of the machine, what you or the machine was doing when this first happened, otherwise it's a bit like asking someone how long a piece of string is because it's yellow, the best that you can expect is an educated guess at the cause, the more information you provide the more accurate any diagnosis will be and also you're likely to get an answer sooner as there is information to work with.

| I have had the SAME exact problem and I have made an exhaustive search of the net to find a solution and I don't find any beyond reloading Vista and I really don't want to do that...I've tried just about everything.
Safe Mode DOES let me view the directory without Windows Explorer "stop working"...however, load back in to normal mode and it happens again...what is frustrating now is that it happens at the root level directory of one of my hard drives and I can't view the files via explorer (but I can in safe mode or a command prompt)...how can I bring this to MS attention? |

| | The problem lies with a piece of spyware called windows systen alerts. In the add remove programs, you will find this listed without a manufacturer. If it really were from microsoft it would jave microsoft corp written beside it. To access the add/remove while the computer is inoperable: boot machine, when it finishes booting and the loop begins, press ctrl+alt+del and click task manager. go to the processes tab and end task on explorer. go back to applications and click new task type C:\ then click in the address bar, "Computer" click unistall programs, and click on the windows safety alerts that DOES NOT have microsoft corp beside it. It will tell you that the computer needs to be rebooted before the uninstallation and you must close all open applications. DO NOT click the close button on that window. Hit the X in the corner of the control panel and wait for the computer to restart. When it finshes booting, no more windows explorer errors. Hope this helps. |
