Lenovo T61 (Product 6458-W2R): explorer.exe hangs after logon - WinXP SP2

+++ english below +++
[german/deutsch]
Wir setzen in unserem Unternehmen mehrere ThinkPad T61 ein.  Bei einigen dieser ThinkPad T61 (und nur beim ThinkPad T61!) haben wir inzwischen ein seltsames Phänomen, welches im Laufe der letzten 1-2 Monate auftrat und noch auftritt.  Dieses Phänomen trat nicht gleichzeitig auf, sondern nacheinander.  Und es tritt willkürlich auf.  Der jüngste Fall ist gerade 1 Tag alt.  Inzwischen sind 6 ThinkPad T61 davon betroffen.
Alle ThinkPad T61 sind Mitglieder einer Domäne (Windows Server 2003) und durchlaufen ein Loginscript.  Das Loginscript beinhaltet Batchbefehle, Kix32 (für das Mappen von Netzwerklaufwerken und Druckern) und Teile der Matrix42 Empirum Management Software (für Softwaredistribution und Inventarisierung).  Es werden Gruppenrichtlinien angewendet.  Es werden via Matrix42 Empirum automatisch die neuen Patches und Updates seitens Microsoft auf alle Computer verteilt.  Alle Computer erhalten eine unbeaufsichtigte/standardisierte Installation via Matrix42 Empirum Management Software (ähnlich einem Image und der unbeaufsichtigten Windows-Installation).  Auf allen Rechnern ist Windows XP mit Service Pack 2 installiert.  Spezielle Software ist in der Regel nicht drauf, nur Microsoft Office 2003, der aktuelle Acrobat Reader sowie die aktuellen Standardplayer: Windows Media Player, Quicktime Player, RealPlayer, VLC media player.  Ggf. noch Nero 7 Standard bzw. Platinum (Spezielle Version).  Alle IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad verwenden zusätzlich die IBM/Lenovo-Utilities „ThinkVantage“.  Das Phänomen tritt unabhängig davon auf, ob das ThinkPad T61 in einer Dockingstation betrieben wird oder nicht.  Es ist auf jedem Computer in der Windows Registrierung eingestellt, dass der Desktop erst geladen wird, wenn das Loginscript durchgelaufen ist.
Nun zur genauen Fehlerbeschreibung:
Manchmal kann es bei einem Kaltstart vorkommen, dass nach der Anmeldung und nach dem Loginscript –während der komplette Desktop und die Startleiste bereits sichtbar sind und noch einige Dienste geladen werden– sich die explorer.exe aufhängt.  Die Startleiste lässt sich nicht bedienen.  Ebenfalls lassen sich dann auch auf dem Desktop keine Symbole doppelklicken.
Wir setzen auch andere Computer ein, wo dieses Phänomen nicht auftritt, u.a.:
- HP-Computer (Desktops, Evo SFF Series)
- Fujitsu-Siemens-Computer (Desktops, ESPRIMO E Series)
- IBM ThinkPad T20/21
- IBM ThinkPad T40/T41/T42
- IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T60
Das Problem tritt nur auf den noch relativ neuen ThinkPad T61 auf.
Wir haben bereits einen ziemlich ähnlichen Fall unter…

Unfortunately, I’m not fluent in the english language.
We use a few ThinkPad T61’s in our company.  Meanwhile, at some ThinkPad T61’s (only ThinkPad T61!) we have a strange problem. This problem appears since the last 1-2 months and it still does exist.  This problem does not appear at the same time, it does appear successive.  And it appears random.  The last case is 1 day old.  Meanwhile, 6 ThinkPad T61 are concerned.
All ThinkPad T61 are members of a domain (Windows Server 2003) and do execute a logon script.  The logon script contains Batch commands, Kix32 (for mapping network drives and printers) and parts of the Matrix42 Empirum Management software (for software distribution and inventory scan).  Group policies will apply.  Patches and updates will install on every computer via Matrix42 Empirum automatically.  All computers get a default/unattended installation via Matrix42 Empirum Management software (everywhere between an image and an unattended Windows installation).  All computers have installed Windows XP with Service Pack 2.  As a rule, special software isn’t installed, only Microsoft Office 2003, the actual Acrobat Reader and the actual default players: Windows Media Player, Quicktime Player, RealPlayer, VLC media player.  Sometimes, there is installed the Nero 7 Standard or rather Platinum (Special Edition) yet.  All IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad use IBM/Lenovo-Utilities „ThinkVantage“ additionally.  The problem exists if the ThinkPad T61 is connected to a docking station and also if the ThinkPad T61 is disconnected from a docking station.  On every computer exists a registry key which arranges it that the desktop only will be loaded after the logon script did run.
Now the detailed error description:
Sometimes the explorer.exe hangs after the cold start.  i.e.: The desktop (with icons and task bar) appears complete.  But the computer hangs if you try to click on the task bar or double click on any icons.  The computer will only run if we kill the process ‘explorer.exe’ and if we restart the explorer.exe.
We use also other computers with the same installation and the same group policies where the problem does not exist, for example:
- HP-Computer (Desktops, Evo SFF Series)
- Fujitsu-Siemens-Computer (Desktops, ESPRIMO E Series)
- IBM ThinkPad T20/21
- IBM ThinkPad T40/T41/T42
- IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T60
Only the new ThinkPad T61’s have this problem.
We have found a similar case at…

Vielen Dank / Many thanks!

I would run System Update and make sure I had all the updates available.
Another thing to try is:
1. Right-click on My Computer and click Properties
2. Click on the Advanced tab
3. Click on Settings under Performance
4. Click on Data Execution Prevention
5. Click on Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select, then check Windows Explorer
We had to do that to some machines here after a push from corporate of the new ScriptLogic.This solved the problem.

  • Explorer.exe hangs X220 Intel HD 3000

    I am dealing with an issue that is driving me crazy.  Explorer.exe hangs on mouse over or right/left click.  My computer is a Lenovo x220 thinkpad running windows 8.1 pro with 8 gb of ram.  All diagnostic scans come back clean.  Dual core intel i5 64 bit.  Only started after upgrading from windows 7 to 8.1 and a clean boot doesn't help either.
    I don't get a crash per say (doesn't blue screen), the system just stops responding forcing a restart of explorer.exe.  I believe it only happens when my sony 19 inch monitor is connected.  I have done every type of fix approach imaginable - sfc /scannow clean, Dism returns no corruptions and healthy.  There are no viruses, malware, corruptions. 
    Intel HD 3000 9.17.10.3517

    All drivers are up to date and the windows assessment console returns no issues with any drivers.  Windows updates are all current.

  • Explorer.exe hangs

    I've been loving my s10-3t for about almost a week now, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having explorer.exe hang? It seems to happen after changing screen rotation to or from tablet. I have upgraded to 2 GB of RAM, 7 Ultimate, and have been slowly uninstalling the Lenovo apps in an effort to narrow down the issue, and am down to Direct Share (never used), Energy Management, Screen Rotation, and One Key recovery.
    It seems to happen less with the auto rotation off, but that could just be because it doesn't rotate every time I move the wrong way. The Windows event logs just state that "explorer.exe stopped interacting with Windows" (Application hang 1002), which is pretty useless. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!
    Solved!

    I uninstalled the rest of the applications I don't use and they hangs seem to be much less frequent. Thanks for your help.

  • Explorer.exe hangs on resolution changes

    I seem to have to have a very persistant, very reproducable and very annoying problem with explorer.exe just completely "hanging" frequently. This started happening near the end of November, about a month after I used Windows 7 (professional x64) with no problems. To make a long story short, it happens nearly any time my display changes (resolution or anything else).
    Here's a more detailed description:
    Before late November, everything worked perfectly. I don't recall what could have caused the change. I uninstalled anything I installed during or after November. I do not have anything visible on my desktop. However, any time the resolution changes, explorer.exe hangs using 50% of my cpu, or 100% of one core. Clicking on the taskbar or desktop lets me know that "Explorer.exe has stopped responding", allowing me to restart it, which I occasionally also choose to do via Process Explorer. At first, I only noticed during or after playing games, but now I have tested this thoroughly and determined that it is in fact most likely a display problem, concluded from the following pretty exhaustive list:
    Unplugging my external monitor causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Plugging in my external monitor also does.
    Changing resolutions on either monitor, to any resolution, causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Changing resolutions on the internal monitor while the external monitor is unplugged also causes a hang.
    Uninstalling the ATI display drivers causes a hang.
    Changing resolutions with the default Windows display drivers between 800x600 and 1024x768 (the only two options) causes a hang. (Uninstalled and followed with Driver Sweeper so no trace of the ATI display drivers are available and the display is running purely on Windows defaults.)
    Installing updated ATI drivers causes a hang directly after the resolution is changed automatically.
    Unchecking all options in the "Perfermance Options" causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Unchecking all options but leaving visual styles on does not result in a hang (if it was on to start with).
    Turning off visual styles causes the display to blink briefly before displaying the "Please wait" box and, when it is finished and the desktop is displayed again, explorer.exe has been hanging approximately since the display blink.
    Running games that cause the resolution to change usually cause explorer.exe to hang, but not always. This is particularly odd. Opening the simple game Torchlight in full screen at 1280x800, does not pose a problem; however, Alt-Tabbing out of it causes the hang as well as closing it, which both revert the resolution to the desktop resolution (1920x1200). Running the game in a window is no problem. Running the game in full screen at 1920x1200 is also no problem, regardless of starting, using Alt-Tab or closing, even though the display blinks for a moment. Team Fortress 2 consistently causes explorer to hang when launching (hanging TF2 as well, until explorer has been killed). All goes well while TF2 is running, even with explorer restarted. When TF2 is closed, explorer hangs again. Thus, it always causes explorer to hang, whether opening or closing. In windowed mode, it causes no problems. I can give examples of a number of more games if it helps pinpoint the problem.
    The event viewer shows no errors or warnings after a hang (except for the standard ones that are generated if the "Explorer.exe has stopped responding" dialog shows up by clicking on the taskbar or desktop. If it is killed manually before showing the dialog, nothing shows up.) It does log some information specific to ATI functions in the ACEEventLogSource which seem to be specific to an explorer freeze. No information was generated when Torchlight changed resolutions without a resulting hang but the following was generated upon closing, with an explorer hang:

    Disabling all non-Microsoft Shell extensions (with ShellExView x64) didn't help.
    As of writing, I have the feeling it didn't happen in safe-mode but I would need to retest this to make sure.
    A clean boot yields no improvement. Changing the resolution following a clean boot still results in a hang.
    Using Process Explorer, I have also checked all non-Microsoft DLL's running in conjunction with Exlporer.exe and these were only db's (some related to BitTorrent), a Comodo antivirus DLL and a bunch of Broadcom Widcomm Bluetooth files. Thus, I uninstalled all of those including the bluetooth software and drivers, unfortunately, to no avail. Changing resolutions still crashes Explorer!
    My system is as follows:
    ASUS M51Va Notebook
    Windows 7 Professional x64
    ATI Radeon HD 3650
    Catalyst Version 09.12
    DirectX Version 11
    Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0716
    OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9232
    Internal monitor Generic PnP Monitor at 1200x800 32bit 61Hz
    External monitor Samsung SyncMaster 2433BW/2433GW, SyncMaster Magic at 1920x1200 32bit 59Hz connected by an HDMI to DVI-D cable
    Anti-virus is Comodo
    If any more information is needed I'll gladly provide it! This is truly a very aggrivating problem. Particularly when gaming or hooking up displays for presentations etc. I really can't think of any thing else that could be meddling with Explorer, causing it to crash. I would love to find the source of the problem, but I'm prepared to finally bite the bullet and reinstall Windows to get rid of this extremely annoying problem. Help would really be appreciated.
    If I figure anything out, I'll post the results.

  • IBM T61 explorer.exe hang when login

    I have this issues we just purchase 5 IMB T61 and all of then have issues when login into winodws they hang up.  And when you try to shut down it says explorer.exe not responding.  So what I do is I end task for explorer.exe and start a new task explorer.exe and this fix the issues but I can 't keep doing this. Not too sure what else is bothering it. Sometimes just user login and the same problem occurs from the start. The users are getting tired of this. I am thinking of removing all of IBM software. I am running in a Novel enviorment. But I don't think that is the problem.  Please Help.

    probally a virus ,torjan or malware, or it could be that you havent updated ..

  • Explorer.exe hangs at logoff?

    I experince the same problem as described in

  • Explorer.exe flickering after RDC

    I'm having a desktop computer A with windows 8.1 and when I connect to it from some other computer B with windows 8 through Remote Desktop Connection, because of the screen resolution change, the entire desktop (explorer.exe) flickers desperately
    and is extremely slow.
    What I do typically is to kill explorer.exe (which is still slow due to the flickering, because TaskManager responds slowly) and then restart explorer.exe. Everything back to normal then.
    If I wait long enough (perhaps 5min) it may go back to normal but I'm not sure.
    The same problem shows up even if I log into A locally (while having RDC logged in previously from B), because a resolution change is still needed in this case.
    The same problem was there when I had A in windows 8 rather than windows 8.1.
    Any idea what is going on?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to change the Remote Desktop Connection properties before you connect to the RDP? change the settings under "Display" and "Experience" tab.
    Sometimes, the RDP flickering is related with some RemoteFX which is used to enhance the display quality, [Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment] you
    can turn off RemoteFX related policy as a test.

  • CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_21.EXE Hangs after files extrac

    Hello,
    After installing the latest drivers for my Audigy 2 Zs board (SBMAX_WEB_LB_2_08_004 & DVDA_PCApp_LB_2_00_75), I tried to install the update to Mediasource Organizer/Player by running the subject exe.
    After extracting the files the update hangs and is non-responding in task mgr of my XP Pro. I even tried uninstalling my original install but the update hangs in the same spot. Now I have no player at all!!!
    PLEASE REPLY AND ADVISE!!
    TIA
    George

    Try using the?WinRAR software to extract the files from CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.EXE into a directory. Then run the setup from the extracted files. This has worked for some users. Let us know if it works for you.Message Edited by micromouse on --20060:30 PM

  • Itunes.exe hangs on shutdown - winXP

    I've had this problem for quite a while now.
    I'm using iTunes 9.0.2.25 and sometimes when I shutdown iTunes the iTunes.exe process doesn't stop so I have the kill the process myself.
    any ideas?

    iTunes freezes on quitting
    If you are using NOD32 see this article:
    http://www.eset.com/support/kb.php?option=com_kb&Itemid=29&page=articles&article id=760
    Freeze on closing has also been associated with the bonjour service.
    This article tells you about the Bonjour service and how to turn it off as a test:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
    If you don't need Bonjour and it is causing the problem, you can uninstall it and iTunes will still work except for the features requiring Bonjour.
    If that doesn’t work some people have found that uninstalling Apple Mobile Device support works. iTunes works OK without it, but it is required for the iPhone or Touch.

  • CR2008 hangs after upgrade to SP2 when opening a report w/ invalid printer

    Hi,
    until CR2008 SP1, when I open a report that was formatted for an unknown printer, a messagebox is displayed with that message an I was able to edit the report and/or assign a correct printer to it. After installing SP2 this behaviour is changed in a an "application hang". CR2008 stops responding. When I open that same report in CR2008 SP1 and delete the printer info, the report opens without any problems in CR2008 SP2
    THIS I.M.H.O. A SERIOUS BUG!!!!

  • Hyperion 9.2 hangs after logon

    hi
    As soon as user typed in their password, the authentication process seems to take forever and hangs there without actually logging in. To resolve this, we have to restart the server. Are there anything that we can configure/reconfigure to resolve this than to have to restart?
    Thanks

    Personally I think it's a bug. When SmartView is not connected to a data source it should not be active in any manner.
    At one point in time on SmartView 7 if I recall the version number it would cause Macros to run up to 60 times slower. I believe this was resolved in 9.x
    Suggest you log a call with support and run it through the escalation process. Unsure if this behaves this way in the 11.x releases.

  • N200 0678 hangs after installing XP SP2

    I have just purchased an N200 and the first thing that had to go was vista. I have installed XP and it installs fine until I install SP2 it reboots and hangs on the windows xp screen. I installed the latest firmware , the machine will boot into safemode and checking the event logs shed no light on the situation.

    Satellite U300-111  
    Is this the driver you tried?
       Realtek Sound Driver for Windows XP, 5.10.0.5413, 04/12/07
       sound-20070828123958.zip
    If so, perhaps you installed them in the wrong order. You should install the chipset and then the display driver before the sound.

  • Numerous Explorer.exe processes run on Server 2012 reboot causing server to hang

    I have recently installed Server 2012 as a Domain Controller.  AD, DNS and WINS services as well as Hyper-V manager.
    I am facing a very strange issue which does not occur every time I reboot the machine (but on most times).
    The machine boots to Windows and hangs, I can notice a large number of explorer.exe processes (that start without any user intervention). The server hangs completely and I am unable to kill the processes manually.
    I have to restart the server remotely via shutdown /i.
    On reboot the server works fine, If i reboot the server by switching off the hardware manually the same issue may occur..
    Any idea what might be causing this behaviour?
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Carlos082,
    I would recommend you to check the event logs which generated during the server hangs.
    Please also try to set up a Performance Monitor log and let it run for a while.  At the very minimum, add the counters for Memory, Process, Processor and System.  The length of time that you need to let it run will depend on how long the system
    takes to hang (assuming that this is happening repeatedly).  Set the interval so that you can capture at least a hundred samples over the life of the log.  Any low memory condition should be readily apparent - especially if it is a steady leak. 
    Finally, follow the steps in
    KB Article 244139 to prepare the system to capture a complete memory dump for analysis if needed.
    To troubleshoot the server hangs, please follow this article:
    Troubleshooting Server Hangs - Part One
    I hope this helps.
