'Windows Explorer is Not Responding' - Help!
Hi. I have this problem I'm hoping I can get ANY help with.
For the last month or so, I've been having a problem with Windows
Explorer. At random times, and often several times once it begins, my
computer freezes and a message comes up: "Windows Explorer is Not
Responding." I'll be working in one program and want to bring up
another, and out of nowhere, I get the hourglass icon and not a single
program that is open will respond. In fact, my entire Start menu won't
come up.
After repeatedly clicking on the program, or on anything on my task
bar, the 'Windows Explorer is Not Responding' sign comes up and gives
me these options: Close the program or Wait for the program to respond.
And only if I click on 'Close the Program' will it activate, tell me
'Windows is checking for a solution to the problem' and after about
five seconds of the programs I am using freezing completely, everything
returns to normal.
When this happens, Ctrl+Alt+Del will work but the best I can do from
there is start the Task Manager and it simply tells me "Explorer.exe"
is not responding. What exactly is Windows Explorer, and how do I fix
this?
If it helps, I have Windows Vista Home Basic on a Toshiba laptop, and
the program I most recently added to it since this problem began is the
Microsoft Zune Program, but this happens whether I use Zune or not.
Aside from that, there really doesn't seem to be any pattern.
I hope I provided enough information and I'm sorry I'm not more
tech-savvy. Thanks!

6 to 4 Adapter - Please Explain
I use Vista Home Premium on a Dell PC XPS 420. In Device Manger my 6 to 4
adapter had a yellow caution symbol next to it. The Dell tech told me I did
not need that adapter and disabled it. Recently I have had network adapter
issues in that when my computer comes out of the Sleep mode, it takes maybe 3
to 4 minutes to get an I.E. connection. So, I thought I might try to enable
the 6 to 4 adapter to see if that would help my problem. When I did that I
got a message saying â??Windows cannot load the drivers. Code 31â??
1. What is the purpose of the 6 to 4 adapter?
2. Do I need to have it working?
3. If so, how can I get the drivers?
4. Do you think the 6 to 4 adapter could be causing my I. E. problem?

Pressing the soft shutdown button,starts the logging off....the

If I go into hibernation everything works fine and the machine doe

My Network dissapeared
I have a home network running Vista on the primary machine, XP on another
wired machine and XP on a wireless laptop. It has been working fine but
has suddenly disappeared, nothing is visible in the Network settings windows
except the Vista machine and Internet.
I am running Norton Internet Security on all three machines and the VIEW
NETWORK button shows all three machines. I just cannot access them.

Turbo Cache video cards
I recently bought a GForce video card with 256mb onboard and up to 512 with
TurboCache. How can I check if this video card is using the extra 256mb from
my RAM memory? Is TurboCache using ordinary RAM automaticly? I don't have to
set it? I tried both MS and NVIDIA drivers, but no one seems to have
settings for it.

Vista temp or unecessary files
Where exactly are all the temp/unecessary files I could delete from the
system? I am running low on disk space on partition C (35 gb total) and I
need to install a big program now.
I performed a clean install of Vista Ultimate 4 days ago and after
installing all the programs I have, 1.1 gb is all I have left. I have a 4gb
swapfile for 4gb RAM, have already deleted files/dirs in C:\USERS\MY
NAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP and C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. Are there any other files I
could delete? Since I applied all the updates, including SP1 and office
2007, are these update install files kept on the hard drive? Are they
"deletable"?
I could repartition my hard drive and give Vista more space, but this is the
last thing I want to try.
Thanks in advance. Tag: Using Speech Recognition with Yahoo messenger IMs Tag: 406624
DVD drive probs

Vista Aero causing controls to vanish unpredictably
I am developing an app that has custom controls in a window that
behave just fine under XP and under Vista with non-Aero themes. When
Aero is on however, the window becomes transparent (see through)
sometimes and the controls will often vanish (maybe becoming totally
transparent). I have used SetWindowLong() and
SetLayeredWindowAttributes() to turn off any transparency attributes
or opacity (in case it was inheriting these from somewhere) to no
effect. I've turned off the "glass" feature in Aero settings to no
effect. Invalidating the controls or the window programatically (for
a repaint) does not have any effect, in fact it seems to be what
triggers the controls from being lost from sight. Resizing the window
manually forces the whole shebang to be redrawn correctly however!
My hardware should not be the problem as it is new and fast (great
video card etc... with high Vista rating 5.9 for graphics Aero desktop
performance).
Any ideas on why Aero might be causing me grief, and what I need to
try to solve my problem?

Error 1719 When installing Microsoft Virtual PC
I tried installed a 16-bit program on my 64-bit Vista only to find out
that it would need Microsoft Virtual PC to run the installer.
However when I try to install Microsoft Virtual PC I get Error 1719
when I install the 64 bit version. None of the fixes I have tried
worked. I've had Vista for months and never had problems installing
anything up to this point.
Any help?

Black Screen on power up.
I am looking for some suggestions re: the following problem....
I have a one year old HP Pavilion US2214 running Vista.
Worked fine 'til last week when powering up I briefly saw the screen image
kinda flash some diagonal colors and then nothing.
AC is fine as I can power up and get all the purple keyboard lights etc
coming on but the screen remains black.I hear the CD drive click once or
twice but nothing from the hard drive.
I hooked it up to a monitor to check screen and I get the same result.
Only other thing I observe when I power up is that the fan spins for about
3-4 seconds and shuts off.
Time for a new laptop?

unexpected shutdowns
my old computer often would just shut down for no reason....and i got the
blue screen a lot. dell's answer was to restore the computer and put the
software back on. then the hard drive went and i had so many problems trying

computer as a replacement. I've had it one week and I've had about 5
unexpected shut downs for no reason. I've read some of the posts, but I
don't see what could be causing this...unless vista isn't compatable with my

So Ringmaster started the Useful Idiots Club [Adam Albright]
Adam has been talking about the Useful Idiots Club. Since this is a new
Club, Adam must have seen a need to create such a club. Seeing as Adam
created the Club, Adam by default is the Club's President and Chief Outta
Control Officer. It looks like Adam is soliciting for members of the club
but so far has no takers.
Adam can't just add users to the club. They need to join and so far I
haven't seen anybody join his CLUB. Adam must be the only member. Seeing
as it's an Idiot club, Adam belongs there.
Nice to see you in your Club. By the way, do you have a Club Newsletter?
Membership cards for the idiots who apply? Let us know when someone does

The always pyschotic raning of the Useful Idiots Club
Unless you're new to this newsgroup or have been living in a cave for
the last year you are already aware of the three utter morons that
infest this group and constantly spread lies and use vile language.
Frank, Yanaire and Spanky deMonkey (all posting under multiple
names)in some feeble attempt to hide who they are quite simply two
legged filth spreading cockroaches that leave a trail of slime
wherever they post. They have no morals, no character, clearly no
brains, nothing of value at all, they are beyond redemption or being
reasoned with. They use this newsgroup as their personal open air
toilet spreading lies and using vulgar language because these
obviously mentally ill retards are totally incapable of being reasoned
with, using logic, facts or even trying to have normal discussion.
As proof of that you only need look at any of their posts. They are
always void of all material facts, filled with personal attacks, hate,
sprinkled with vile, vulgar language and repeated deliberate lies.
What would make any normal human being do this?
That's is the point. No normal person would conduct themselves as
these three idiots do day after day. Especially not for over a year,
yet that's exactly what these three fools have done. That strongly
suggests they are psychopaths, each having his own weird psychopathic
personality confirming they are suffering from severe mental
retardation.
Further proof these buffoons are indeed crazy is offered by what they
themselves claim. The stated purpose of these three loons is to "clean
up" this newsgroup. For these clueless simpletons to say that is like
pissing in the bottle of water you're going to drink or pouring
gasoline on a fire, since Frank, Yanaire and Spanky are by far the
most obnoxious ill behaved posters in this group and their posts are
what causes the noise level to go through the roof. Everyone
understands that, expect of course for them.
What is really bugging these barbaric buffoons and causes them to
daily show raucous behavior is they have decided it is their right to
decide who can say what. Laughable I know, but remember we're dealing
with mentally ill individuals that can't be reasoned with. These
morons have got it in their heads nobody is allowed to be critical of
Vista, Windows or Microsoft. These idiots actually think you must
worship Microsoft to post here. If anyone reports problems brings up
issues, these ill manored idiots will scream, yell, lie, bitch, whine
and start to throw their feces around like rabid monkeys in some
effort to silence those that speak the truth.
Well guess what dickheads, the truth can't be silenced. The more you
idiots squeal, the more obvious it becomes who the liars are. So by
all means continue to act up, act stupid, because it works against you
and anyone new to this group soon learns what psychopaths you really
are that most have already labeled you as because that is what Frank,
Yanaire, Spanky are. Tag: Using Speech Recognition with Yahoo messenger IMs Tag: 406532

Sleep often crashes Vista (Dell D630, 64-bit Ultimate)
I just recently moved from a D610 to a D630 and decided to go Vista 64-bit.
When put the computer into Sleep mode (Hybrid Sleep is turned off by the
way) here is what happens:
1. Screen goes blank immediately
2. Hard drive activity for a minute or so
3. Sometimes it goes into sleep mode but usually it just turns off
In the case when it just turns off, which is most of the time, then I when I
turn it back on it prompts to boot into Safe mode if I want to, indicating
windows didn't shut down properly.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this and figure out what might be causing
it and how to fix it? Tag: Using Speech Recognition with Yahoo messenger IMs Tag: 406526

Do Not Show Thumbnails in "open" and "save as" dialog boxes
I have been searching for a way to change Vista's default behavior in "open"
and "save as" dialog boxes since I started using the operating system. It is
very frustrating. Vista's default view in dialog boxes seems to be the
thumbnail view. You can change it inside each box when it opens, but closing
and re-opening the box restores the default view. This is extremely
frustrating if you like the detailed list view instead. I do not want to see
thumbnail views of files most of the time. Is there a way to change the
default view inside dialog boxes to the detailed list view? Tag: Using Speech Recognition with Yahoo messenger IMs Tag: 406506
Just Got The Dell "Back To School" Catalog... Linux???? Where is it hiding????
Not a mention of Linux anywhere in the booklet.
Windows Vista is everywhere and there are some pretty decent deals,
especially on notebooks.
There is a nice pink one that would be perfect for Roy Schestowitz, Martii
or HPT!!
It has a $25.00 premium though, which is a rip IMHO.
You'll never lose it though, unlike a black Thinkpad which blends in with
everything.
So where is Linux?
This is one of Dell's biggest times of the year, along with the Christmas
season but yet Linux is once again MIA.
Poor Linux...

Windows Backup
Vista Business 32bit on a 3 machine network. The other two machines are
running WinXP Pro W/SP3.
I want to back up the Vista machine to a USB HD on one of the XP machines.
Vista's backup utility keeps telling me:
"The network share could not be accessed for the following reason:
You need Full Control permission for the network share. Make the user a
co-owner of the share with Full Control. The network share cannot be on a
computer running Windows XP Home. (0x8100002A)
Please ensure that the network location is valid."
Now, the USB drive is shared fully, it is a mapped drive on the Vista
machine. The Vista machine can read/write to the USB drive in normal usage.
The network share is not on a Windows XP Home machine.

refused to boot up at all, either to normal or safe mode. The boot
process begins then a blue screen is displayed with the following text:

If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Windows explorer crashing
I just saw another post with the same problem I've had for a month or so. I
thought I would elaborate a bit more.
Currently using Windows Vista Business, sp1.
Windows Explorer, Not IE7, will put up an error message (Windows explorer
has encountered a problem and will restart). Blue screen comes on then
Windows Explorer immediately restarts. Any other program running, such as
IE7, Word, FoxIt Reader, will remaining running while Windows restarts in
the background. The whole reset takes about 3 seconds. The crash is
usually associated with doing "file work", such as moving or renaming files
within folders. Any operations or renaming, etc. that immediately precede
the crash are completed correctly.
I have removed any context menu add-ons but that seems to make no
difference. This is not hardware related.
I was wondering if Windows Explorer can be reinstalled but downloading its
exe file from somewhere. Since my Sony laptop will only allow a complete
reinstall as per original factory specs, that is not an option.
Thanks for any suggestions. Tag: Using Speech Recognition with Yahoo messenger IMs Tag: 406447

BSOD - Driver IRQL not less or equal - 0x000000D1 - KMXCF.SYS
Hi, I'm a very new user of this forum and haven't posted before, but
here goes (fingers crossed I get it right!) ....
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop running Vista Business (SP1) &
M/S Office 2003. I have just started to get the following problem which
seems to occur when email starts to be downloaded, Outlook downloads the
first 5 or so the I get a 'blue screen of death', with the following
text - *Driver_IRQL_not_less_or_equal*
*STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x87800000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000,
0xA7F44970)*
*KmxCF.sys - Address A7F44970 base at A7F32000, Datestamp
47171068*
I had to photograph the BSOD to get this information becuase it whizzed
through it's physical memory dump in less than 3 seconds! Once the
machine is re-booted I can access Control Panel, Hard Disks, Printers &
some applications but as soon as I try to receive email (outlook 2003)
or connect to the internet it crashes - joy!
I've surfed to try and find some answers and come up with ideas but
nothing which is exactly the same as my error and no suggestions as to
how to fix this. One thread has suggested CA Security is the problem
(KmxCF.sys file) and yes, I'm running CA Security Suite 2008. I have
used this to run a virus and trojen check and come up with zero
problems, I have also checked for updates and mine is totally up to
date, as well as checking their site for details (none, as expected from
the CA site, they are useless at helping solve problems!)
Please, please can anyone help me - I'm now on the 8th BSOD today and
can't get to important work emails which I need to reply to. Help, help,
help please :confused:
Thanks

0x80004005 and Media Player
Ever since I started using Vista, I have had a problem with Media Player not
opening. This is a new computer that came with Vista Home installed. I
found a solution requiring me to go into Command Prompt with these commands
which I have to do about once a week.
1. type regsvr32 jscript.dll and then press enter. you should get a
confirmation message.
2. repeat and type regsvr32 vbscript.dll and then press enter.
These have worked great until now. I recently did a Vista update and am
wondering if the update is causing the problem. Now when I try the command
prompts the first step works fine but I get the 0x80004005 error with the
second. I am very frustrated with Vista and Media Player. Can this be fixed
or is there some other program that will play my video files?
I would greatly appreciate any help. All I have seen so far related to this
error is e-mail. I am using McAfee anti-virus software.

installation of Vista is completed, I will install some software programs
such as the ESET NOD32 Antivirus program. Question: Should I start the
installation of such a program in the Standard user account or the
Administrator user account? After installing such programs, generally there
is some program setting adjustments. Question: Which level of user account
should these adjustments be made?
Thanks for any help, Sam. Tag: Using Speech Recognition with Yahoo messenger IMs Tag: 406423
Wireless internet - can't download anything
Hello,
I recently purchased a new notebook laptop with Windows Vista on it and also
got wireless internet, but I can't download anything. For example, I can't
download images I've recieved through e-mail. The save as box appears but
when the download is complete, the box disappears and nothing is downloaded
onto the laptop. This happens everytime I try downloading something from the
internet.
I can't find a solution, hope you can help.

Vista 64: Increasing number of partitions...
I have 174GB of 'unallocated' space on my 1TB HDD. The HDD has
partitions on it, plus the unallocated partition. I would like to mak
the unallocated partition into a 5th partition
Vista tells me that 'You cannot create a new volume in this unallocate
space because the disk already contains the maximum number o
partitions'
So...advice would be appreciated as to how to turn this unallocate
space into a 5th partition..

Windows Photo Gallery VS Windows "Live" Photo Gallery
On Windows Vista, there are two good new applications, Windows Photo
Gallery and Windows Mail (not entirely new but new). But what confuses
me is that there are "very" similar applications such as Windows
"Live" Photo Gallery and Windows "Live" Mail. They are very, very
similar but the "Live" series provides slightly more features. For
example, there is "Create photo panorama" which is the sole reason why
I installed it while I have Windows Photo Gallery. I don't understand
why Microsoft keep both of them. Wouldn't it be much simpler and clear
if Microsoft make only one version of them, then embed them on Windows
Vista and let Windows XP users download freely from Windows Live site?
For those who don't know that there is Windows Live Photo Gallery,
visit
http://get.live.com/photogallery/features
And you can find Windows Photo Gallery on your start menu by typing
