Windows explorer need to keep restarting

On my A205-s5825 windows explorer often hangs and and needs to restart. It happens several times a day sometimes. I have one gig memory, Vista. Would increasing to 2 gigs help or it some other problem?

I can't guarantee that Windows Explorer will stop hanging, but I can guarantee that Vista will run faster.
No computer should have been sold with only 1 GB of RAM when Windows Vista is installed.
Get the memory from Toshiba Direct or buy memory made by Kingston. Those are the only ones you can trust to be in spec.
See the section Adding memory (optional) starting on p. 50 of the User's Guide.

Windows server 2008 R2 keeps restarting itself randomly

Does anyone know why my Windows server 2008 R2, run by VMWare Fusion keep restarting randomly? Could it be that it says it is not genuine windows?

I checked the event log, there are errors regarding report server license expired, could it be that??

Windows Explorer needs to close

Brand new Vista Ultimate installation. Brand new iTunes 9 installation.
If the iPhone is plugged in, clicking Add file... or Add folder causes Windows Explorer to crash. But if the iPhone is NOT connected, it works OK.

Same problem for me... if my iPhone is connected to my PC, Windows explorer crashes every time I try to open a folder in Windows. Very convenient!
Incidentally, when I first installed iTunes, it screwed up several completely unrelated icons on my desktop.

HP 100B All-in-one PC Windows 8 Blue screen Keeps Restarting

I am working from an HP 100B All-in-one PC running Windows 8 Professional; it is a workplace computer that I use for office work and such. I have been having the problem of my computer restarting and giving me a blue screen in the middle of trying to complete a task. I cant pin point the error message because it gives me a different one everytime it restarts. I am baffled as to what is causing this problem, as for now my only guesses are that there may be a problem with the file system and some required files are not present or have been deleted. My second guess is that it may be a motherboard problem. Has anyone had this problem, can anyone offer assistance? Would HP offer any service assictance, and can someone direct me the website wherein HP handles their hardware support claims?
Two of the error messagees which i recorded are as listed:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

Could you please give me the exact product number for your computer?
If you need help finding it, you can use the following link:

Help needed - MBP keeps restarting.

So today I turned my Macbook on and I was browsing the Internet and suddenly the screen turned grey and it began to load for a few seconds and then showed my home screen as if Id just opened my computer - all windows that I had opened a second ago were gone. Now it happened once but in the last 10 minutes its happened frequently. I have noticed whenever I click the 'documents folder' my documents appear smaller and highlighted and my mac wont let me choose them - I havent added anything new in weeks. A few seconds after I click documents it goes to the loading screen and my home screen appears as if I had just opened my macbook. Help please? The mac doesnt turn off, the screen just resets itself as if its just been turned on

This could be any number of problems but my first step would be Restarting your computer and resetting the Pram. To do this restart your machine and hold Command + Option + P + R until you hear the start up chime for a second time.
If that doesn't fix your machine then you can try an Archive and Install by using your OS install discs that came with your computer. What this does is replaces your Operating System with a clean fresh copy from the discs and then puts all of your files and user settings back in the correct place. You won't lose any of your files or applications but it is still a good idea to back them up.
If the problem still persist then it is most likely hardware related and you would need to take it to an Apple Store or a Certified dealer for repair.
Hope this helps,

Windows Computers need to be restarted before SMB will work???

Hi there,
Here is my current problem. We have several PCs (All on WinXP) connected to our Xserve. The server is set as a standalone, and it is connected to our RAID. We do not use domains, and have a standard workgroup setup.
More often than not, when we first boot up our PCs, they do not find the server (or RAID drives), saying that they cannot authenticate. However, they can all ping the server, so IP setup would appear to be working. Once the pc is restarted, the PCs (usually) find the server and the RAID drives without a problem. However, this is a hastle and usually involves me having to do it 20 times a day...
Has anyone run into this before, and can it be fixed?
Thank you!
James

Hi
If the Server is not in an OD Role and the Windows Service is set to Standalone, then its a good idea to switch off Workgroup Master Browser as well as Domain Master Browser.
If there is more than one PC on the network they have hold a meeting amongst themselves to decide which one provides the Workgroup Browsing container. They do this as they are powered on. They are better at it than the Mac. If the Mac is left to do it then PCs can experience network disconnects and problems where PCs disappear from the browsing view and reappear again. Its also a good idea to assign fixed IP addresses to all the PCs.
Consult the manual available here:

HT204406 Need to keep restarting match

Why do my itunes match tracks show up as gray, and when I turn match off then back on, they are playable? I need to do this daily, and it's getting annoying.
The majority of my files reside on my home computer, it's my work computer I need to do this with. Latest version of Lion, latest itunes.
My tracks are all available, all the time on my iphone.

It's may not be an issue with the internet speed, although it'd be helpful to know what that is.
It will be more an issue with the local network, other devices working does not rule that out. Ensure DNS is set properly, try Ethernet, get a network report (istumbler, Netstumbler or similar. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks)

Windows 7 Windows explorer and IE 8 resize perporty

Hi ALL
I got a problem that when I open the windows explorer/ IE8 in small size monitor like 15" and then I log on the same windows on another size monitor like 19". The Windows explorer / IE8 will keep the small size of windows.
is it the property of Windows? If so, can it be any disable this functions.
Best regards and thanks
Cyril

Hi Cyril,
Maffiow provides a good suggestion. You may check the properties of the short cut first.
In addition, as I know, you can force Internet Explorer (Windows Explorer) to launch in a custom size window is to close all IE (Windows Explorer) windows except the current one; then, resize and re-position the last window opened where you want it, and
exit Internet Explorer.
Now re-open Internet Explorer (Windows Explorer), and it should have automatically saved the last window size and position; keep in mind that if you have multiple IE (Windows Explorer)windows opened, the last one's size and position will be remembered.
With Normal it will open up the same size as it was when it was last closed down.
If the IE still opens in small window, here's the registry keys that would need to be edited, according to what I found:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
-->delete the "Window_Placement" subkey
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Document Window\Maximized
-->change the value of this key to "Yes"
please backup Registry first.

Windows Explorer has STOPPED Working

OK, I have iTunes 8 installed, the allegedly CORRECTED version. When I start iTunes 8, I receive a message that says, "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working" and gives me two options:
First Option - Check online for a solution and restart the program (Program being Windows Explorer).
Second Option - Restart the Program (Program being Windows Explorer).
Option One does not provide a solution, just restarts Windows Explorer!
Option Two restarts Windows Explorer.

Is anyone else having this issue with iTunes 8?

I THINK that this is the repeated one, because I was doing it one after the other. And yes, as far as I know, everything is up to date. I'm fairly advanced when it comes to computers, but this has me boggled.

Windows Explorer crashes when clicking on folder

Windows 7 Professional running on HP Pavilion p6616f-b. Computer is just 1 year old. No other issues. Has Norton Internet Security running. When clicking folder, Windows Explorer stops working and restarts. Happens every time I go to Windows Explorer.

ewall777 wrote: Unfortunately this has been happening for a month or more and the oldest System Restore point listed is only about 2 weeks old.
Hello ewall777, This does appear to be some type of operating system corruption. You might try going to the Start Orb, and in the run box, type cmd and press the enter key. You should get a black screen with a white blinking cursor.
At the blinking cursor type sfc /scannow (notice the space between the sfc and the / )
This will start the system file check utility that checks all the operating system files for errors or missing files, and replace any that are not valid or missing.
When this completes, just type exit at the blinking cursor and you will return to the desktop.
You may want to reboot the system, and then check if your issues has been resolved.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

My tabs will not restore after starting Firefox -- even with the option to restore my tabs and windows is checked in the "options" window. I'm losing tabs from previous sessions that I need to keep open every time I need to restart. Thanks for any advice!

Is there something else I need to tweak to get rid of this annoyance instead of simply clicking the check box? I'm losing tabs from previous sessions that I need to keep open every time I need to restart. Thanks for any advice!

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Hi,
Did you use system restore to go back to a time when everything worked fine? How was the result?
I suspect it caused by some third-party software conflict. Please perform a clean boot to find out the culprit:

Windows Explorer was crashing/restarting every few seconds and after trying several different methods of fixes, the only one that worked was removing Firefox, is there something I've missed that I can get Firefox back?

I'm running a Toshiba Satellite laptop that was originally running Windows Vista 32-bit, but was upgraded by me to Windows 7 32-bit. On Windows Vista, all I would run was Firefox. I loved it!!! On Windows 7, I've noticed that Firefox kept hanging whenever I would try to download a file...from anywhere. I got so frustrated I went to try several different browsers. They all worked extremely quickly, whereas Firefox was working so slow, I could click on a link to a page, go get some lunch, come back and it still be trying to load the page. This was drastically unusual for Firefox. I used the other browsers and everything was fine for a week and then Windows Explorer started going down every few seconds. I went to the windows 7 forums and started looking. There were several suggestions on how to fix the problem, none of which worked for my compy. I tried restarting the compy in safe mode. That didn't help. I turned off every startup program except for the essentials and that DID work in keeping Windows Explorer from restarting. I then dove into the tedious task of trying to discern which 3rd party program was the offender. I removed everything from my compy that had been downloaded in the last ten days (well before the windows explorer issue, but not before the firefox issue). That didn't work either. I tried replacing an explorer file, which didn't work either. There were several other things I tried, as well, but nothing worked. Then, I saw a post that Firefox had caused the problem for one person. I went in and did as was suggested and completely removed Firefox and all associated files. Unfortunately, this worked. I haven't had any more trouble with windows explorer restarting. My big problem is, however, I can't run Firefox!!! And I LOVE Firefox!!! It's spoiled me! I hate Internet explorer, which is what I'm forced to run now. I've tried Safari and Google Chrome and don't like either one of those, either. I want my Firefox back! But if it's not working 100% it's less frustrating to be forced to live with the Internet Explorer. I'm going insane, here! Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried clearing out browser history, changing download files and a couple of other things and nothing worked with the Firefox to get it going better before I started having the Windows Explorer difficulty and had to completely erase the Firefox program. If I've missed any info, please don't hesitate to ask!! I'm happy to supply whatever I know about the issue!!

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert
