32-bit Vista Home Premium - Explorer.exe visual basic library C++ runtime crash

Friends,
I have a weird Explorer.exe crash going on when attempting to use Windows Explorer to access my iTunes Movies folder.
Background: Running 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2) on a Gateway GM5664 Desktop (2.3 GHz Quad-core AMD CPU with 3 Gb RAM). Firefox is primary browser.
All of the latest Vista updates suggested by the OS have been successfully installed (thru 8-14-09). McAfee and Dr. Web scanners have shown no malware issues as of yesterday. Latest Radeon Catalyst Video Drivers are installed. C: drive has been cleaned and defragmented using the Vista utilities.
Situation: I attemped to access the directory where my iTunes Video library lives using Windows Explorer. As Explorer is processing the files in the appropriate sub-directory, the system crashes with the following message:
"Runtime error in explorer.exe. The application has required the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team
for more info." It indicates the nature of the error as something related to Visual Basic C++
I downloaded the freeware CCleaner registry cleaner, and it corrected numerous registry errors, however, the phenomenon still exists. When I downloaded
a commercial registry-fixing product (Quad Registry Cleaner), after doing a preliminary scan, it is indicating several more errors that the freeware version didn't pick up, the most common being empty registry keys. Since most commercial registry cleaners are snake oil, I am trying to identify other solutions to the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know the answer to this, but I wonder if there is a file in your movie folder that is upsetting Windows explorer when it attempts to preview it or display an icon.
As an off the wall suggestion try setting your folder view to the simplest possible thing, no preview and list view.
If you can't get into the problem folder, you can set this up in another folder and then go to folder options>>view where there is a button to apply the setting to all folders.

I am unable to download itunes on 32 bit Vista home premium

I had an older version 9 of Itunes on my Vista 32 bit home premium windows pc and has acquired the latest ios 6 Ipod touch but Itunes dows not recognise it and I was unable to sync it. The itouch driver installed on pc and a message comes comes up shortly that Ipod touch need to download Itunes versin 6.3,1 but i am unable to dowanload it onto Ipod touch itself as it needs to be sync with Itune on PC, but it does not recognise devices. I tried installing update but it does not want to complete and I followed online instruction to uninstall all Itunes and related software which i had done but now I am unable to download Itunes at all. Is there anyone who has a solution to this problem?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Installation of itunes in windows vista home premium

I have tried several times in vain to download the latest version of i Tunes ( 7.6) on my computer. The installation apparently goes through properly but when i try to open itunes I recieve an itunes has stopped working dialogue box and the descripton generally is that an data execution program has prevented itunes from opening. I have tried clearing old downloads and reloading, I have tried disabeling conflicting programs ( not sure which ones will be conflicting) I have tried allowing itunes and quick time through the sytem performance file etc. I am frustrated and ready to throw my nano away. thanks for any help

I didn't realize Vista Home Premium wasn't supported, so I went ahead and installed Oracle 10g R2 standard edition and then personal edition on 64-bit Vista Home Premium. The only problem I've had is that the DB Console doesn't work, which is why I came to this forum and thread. All I get is a blank page with a few chicken scratches, but everything else has been working so far. I've had to revert to command line SQL Plus, and I just imported a couple million rows from an export done on a Solaris server, so go figure. Obviously I'm not using it for a production database, but for my purposes so far it's done OK.

[24" Imac, 10.5.3] Can't install Vista Home Premium on Boot Camp

I'm having problems getting Boot Camp to run Vista.
I set up a 32 GB Boot Camp partition with Boot Camp Assistant, and encountered no problems. Stuck in my full version of 32-bit Vista Home Premium (includes SP1), and then continued with the installation. iMac reboots, drive spins, and then all I'm left with is a black screen with a dos cursor blinking in the upper left corner. Doesn't respond to keyboard or mouse input. Will reboot into OS X no problem. Below is a list of the things I've tried to resolve the problem, but non have made any difference.
* Booted from Vista DVD while holding down "c"
* Turned off wireless Mighty Mouse & rebooted
* Plugged MS wired mouse into keyboard & rebooted
* Removed all attached USB and FireWire peripherals & rebooted
* Ran Boot Camp Assistant, deleted partition, created new 32 GB partition, rebooted
* Ran Boot Camp Assistant again, deleted partition, created 60GB partition, rebooted
* Consulted apple.com/support/bootcamp and found nothing helpful
* Consulted Support Discussions and could not find any threads dealing with the problem I'm experiencing
Does anyone know how to solve this pesky problem? Advice and suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
R

I would never go back to Vista, forums are where people ask for help. If you looked at the Leopard OS X forum you would definitely never want to upgrade or use Safari or TimeMachine or worry what the next Security Update or to iTunes harbors.
Upgrading from Vista is supported but backup first, and a clean install is always going to be best. And the same goes for even Tiger to Leopard. Also needs to be the same 32 or 64-bit, going from one to the other is not supported.
Some systems, and keyboards and such, are better supported than others. Windows 7 has support for a wide range of current hardware already.

Tx2517ca From Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

Hi Everyone,
I have a very specific question. I currently am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, but I want to use Windows 7. However, I want to use Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (rather than Windows 7 Home Premium) and understand that this will require a clean install.
Before I purchase Windows 7 Professional, I want to make sure that this can be done correctly. Does anyone know if this is possible or have already done this?
I have downloaded and ran Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor which told me that I would be able to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate, but it does not mention Windows 7 Professional at all. I'm assuming this is because it would require a clean install.
Thanks for your time,
Lauren

thanks ... I see now from your other post that you're probably getting either a "missing QuickTime.msi" message or being told that a "newer version of QuickTime" is installed when you try to go ahead and uninstall QuickTime after you're told about the Key?
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Unable to scan and communicate with scan function C6180 Vista Home Premium 64 bit Printing works

I have an all in one C6180 Photosmart connected by wireless network (infrastructure). Network consists of 2-laptops, 1-Desktop and the printer. Everything works from HP solution Center on the Compaq laptop and the Dell desktop both running Windows XP. My newest laptop is a Dell studio XPS core2 2.4ghz running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. I am unable to scan from the Dell Laptop using HP Solution Center nor can I scan from the printer buttons to the laptop. Solution Center opens I select "scan document" and immediately get an error message "unable to communicate with scanning device. Likewise with the copy function. The laptop does recognize the printer though and I am able to print wirelessly. All functions work when connected via USB so I believe the printer is fine. I have been working with this problem since I bought the printer in 2007. I spent many hours reading hundreds of internet posts, talking by phone with HP and via e-mail support from HP. I became frustrated and gave up for awhile but now I want to see if there are any new solutions that I don't know about. I downloaded full feature software and drivers for the 6180 from HP and performed various levels of uninstall (L1, L2, L3, L4). I also cleaned the registry with ccleaner, windows disk cleanup and manual registry deletions when allowed per HP. I have checked port settings, tried stopping HP functions is Services.Msc. The Digital monitor is currently running, however no scanner communication-computer to 6180 and no scanner communication 6180 to computer. I can print and fax from computer wirelessly. I have ran the HP diagnostic utility separately and it appears everything is fine, connection IPaddress etc. During install when prompted to run test it says the printer is connected to the network. I have tried to add a device to the network after install and get the message no wireless devices found. The scanner does not appear under Cameras and Scanners in control panel. Nor will it find the scanner when I try to add device. Firewalls and antivirus have been turned off. Still can't make it work. Suggestions please.

Sorry about your pain. L3 uninstall is what I recommend. Re-install from hp.com and this time, with the printer properly attached it should flow OK.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Itunes not working with Vista Home Premium 32-bit

Itumes 10.6.3 version will not work with Vista Home Premium. I have a 32-bit operating system. I'm not sure what to do next. It appears in trying to update it deleted the old itumes, as I can't find a copy of it when I search the computer.

Then I installed Quicktime on its own - still get the same error 'Quicktime has stopped working;
Okay. That will be the source of the iTunes problem. (Without a properly working QuickTime, iTunes won't work correctly.)
Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors now.
Have you at any stage installed any Codec Packs, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
(I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running of a higher version of QuickTime.)

Ipod classic compatible with Vista Home Premium 64 bit

Hi,
Is the Ipod Classic compatible with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit?
I found out the hard way that the Itouch is not!
Greetings,
Miguel

If I could I would answer your question.
But I do not know how I did that.
Itunes has been working since day 1 on my 64 bit machine, only problem is that it takes half a minute to copy album cover art to song in itunes, the computer is hanging for 15 seconds before the album cover art is copied.
I just took the Ipod out of the box and connected it to the computer and it worked fine.
Only problem that I had yesterday is that when I'm intergrating album cover art my hard disk is doing strange things.
Just yesterday, my RAID 1 was corrupted by Itunes, first hard disk 1 was failing and an hour later hard disk 2 also crashed.
Was able to reconnect them into RAID 1, luckilly.

Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

I have been having problems with my screen for several months now: every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels. I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed. It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal. I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot. This does not work. I have also tried installing the original graphics driver. This does not work either.
If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error:
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing. I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a resolution?
I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007. The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
Thanks for your help.
