PowerShell has stopped working

I keep getting "power shell not working" pop-up" and I keep closing it, and it pops up again. How do I correct this? Thanks.

More information is needed, namely from Event log. Additional info on update, configuration and application installation as well as info on software is needed too.

Powershell 4.0: Problem with error handling inside Eventhandlers - Powershell has stopped working

Hallo!
Please see the attached sample code. This code simply show a small WPF-Dialog.
Test 1 (showing the problem)
Simply run the program. You will see Powershell crashing "Powershell has stopped working".
The cause of this is the devision by 0 inside the Eventhandler.
We would normally expect, that the exception should be handled by the trap.
Test 2 (showing normal operation)
Simply remove the comment in line 28 ($i=1/0).
This activates an exception outside the Eventhandler. Now the Trap will be executed normally.
--> The exception can be handled by the Powershell Devloper.
Can anybody help? Why does the Error management via Trap not work inside Eventhandlers?
Thanks for some assistance and ideas!
Regards
Heike

Internet radio has stopped working

Hi all, A couple days ago internet radio on my Nokia X6 has stopped working. 3G connection is established, stations load, I can see that data is being downloaded (using data counter). But I hear nothing. I checked my earphones and other stations as well. My FM receiver works OK, if relevant. Can anyone confirm that internet radio is working? Or is this service closed??

"Internet Explorer has stopped working" with Datacap

Hi,
I am using a document capture software called Datacap. When I am scanning through the my web browser (IE9) using my Canon imageFORMULA P-215 scanner, IE9 always stops during the scanning process. I have no idea where could be the problem. Do you think there
is some incompatibility with the scanner software?
Thanks,

HT1689 I can reach the iTunes Store from my iPod Touch, but it will not open on my PC running Windows 7. Message shows that iTunes has stopped working. This happens every time. I have updated iTunes Software. Will not solve the problem. What is wrong

I have uninstalled iTunes several times and reinstalled it on my PC running Window 7 with all updated loaded. When I click on the iTunes Store Box, Nothing happens except for a message that reads:
          iTunes has stopped working.
The following items give me a choice, but no answer comes up. The computer will shut down the website.
          "Check online for a solution and close the program"
          "Close the program."
There is an item below the box that is selectable for View problem details. When clicked a long list of items show up. I have listed some of the problems as written, but I do not understand them. I know the iTunes Store has been available on earlier versions of of iTunes but is not on this version. How can we go back and download an earlier version of iTunes?
     Here are some of the Problem Details:
     "Problem signature: APPCRASH
     Application Name:     iTunes.exe
     Application Version: 11.0.1.12
     Application Timestamp: 50c8fc7e"

I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.
Anthony

Can't get itunes. I get the following message when I click on either the shortcut or the program. It says ITunes has stopped working and I can either check on line for a solution and close the program or just close the program.

When I click on the itunes shortcut or the program I get the following message:
ITunes has stopped working. My two options are: Windows can check on line for a solution to the problem or close the program.
It seems that my entire library is not there. If I sync my ipod will it add it back into my library on the computer?
I've even tried installing again and nothing works. Tried the "repair" and it says that ITunes is loaded but I stil get the above error when I try to open the program.
Thanks

Try copying the QTMovieWin.dll in the c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support folder to the c:\program files (x86)\iTunes folder. I had same problem and it's fixed this bug.

ITunes has stopped working ...Running Windows 7(64)

I upgraded my home PC Desktop to Windows 7 earlier this year and had no trouble bringing over iTunes from my previous platform (Windows XP).
I recently returned home to the US from a work assignment out of the country and because my iTunes resides on my home PC desktop, I didn't open up iTunes for the past 6 weeks. During this time Apple released iTunes 10.5. When I returned home, the old version of iTunes was still working. However, when I upgraded to iTunes 10.5, iTunes stopped working. The error message: "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have worked through the following knowlege bulletins (nothing has fixed my problem):
(a)" iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues"
(b) "iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins"
(c) "iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio"
(d) "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows vista or Windows 7"
(e) "iTunes for Windows: system restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store"
the last bulletin (e), recommended ensuring that my drivers were up-to-date. So I also updated my drivers.
Lastly, I contacted iTunes Store Customer Support (although my problem isn't with the store, it is upgraded iTunes running on windows 7). They told me the issue was "outside (their) expertise" and recommended I look at this discussion board.
Here is the information I found under Event Viewer:

Thanks for listening,

PS - someone recommended uninstalling Apple Quick Time Player. I don't have Quick Time Player.

I had the same problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. This solution only partially worked for me. I still couldn't connect to the iTunes store.
The following solution worked for me:
COPY    QTMovieWin.dll
FROM    c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\
INTO     c:\program files (x86)/iTunes

PowerShell has stopped working
