Windows Explorer Stopped Working after Adjusting Preferences in Bridge

OK, this is the PhotoShop forum and in the Bridge forum is where this issue should be addressed, but there is little activity there, so I hope no one will mind me posting here...
The following problem occurred after adjusting the Preference settings in Bridge:
When right clicking on any folder in either the Explorer or on the Desktop the following message is displayed "Windows Explorer has stopped working..."
This is now the second time, after having created two new User Accounts. While Explorer worked perfectly for a couple of days before adjusing the settings in Birdge, I cannot undo what has caused this problem and am reluctant to setup yet another user account. Also, I can't figure out which setting change might have caused this.
Is it possible that by adjusting the settings in Bridge it added a shell extension to Windows Explorer?
Has anyone here encountered a similar problem after adjusting the settings in Bridge?
Cheers,
Michael

  • Windows explorer stopped working in a VDI environtment for a specific user only

    Hi we have a VDI environment with a link clone image for all users. Only one user(admin1) login to the virtual desktop got this error, ....windows explorer stop working and requires restart it. it is the same issue after restart it, change a PC, change another
    VDI client version,always same issue. Tried other users with these pc and client and has no issue at all. All use the same pool,same snapshot and same image. Windows 7 32bit OS. also tried to delete the profile folder and let it recreate it , it's redirected
    to a file server. the folder can be seen created,but empty inside. other user profile all ok. this user admin1 is a domain administrator. It's property in AD shows an extra "delegation" tab and all else look the same as other account. Since other
    users ok, I believe it's not VDI issue, should be this windows user profile issue. any advice please?Thanks
    Thanks and best regards, -- KF

  • Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

    Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
    My question is at the end.
    Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial  version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
    Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
    1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
    2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
    3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
    4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like  it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that  simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves  95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
    5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting,  etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a  post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able  to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the  coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand.  (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very  valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
    6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
    7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
    8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
    9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
    10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
    11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
    12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
    13. Bingo! That install works.
    14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
    15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security  patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file  adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that  mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
    16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
    17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
       before
         lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
       after
         lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
    (that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
    Save the file.
    18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
    Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is  no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS  update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
    And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the  version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version,  not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
    On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
    And finally my
    ** QUESTION **
    Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same  (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this,  but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older  version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use  the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the  directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my  limitied java skill set, to make this decision. 
    Thanks in advance!!
    Byron

    Hi Byron,
    Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
    So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
    Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
    Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
    Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
    #java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
    Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
    java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
    Note  there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to  point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program  Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
    Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
    HTH, Carl.

  • Windows explorer stopped working when trying to open a specific folder...and solution

    I have had a problem with a specific folder or two on my computer, when I open the folder I get the error message that windows explorer has stopped working.  It only happens with specific folders and everything else works fine. 
    I did a lot of reading to figure out a fix.
    I finally tried right clicking the program explorer.exe located in C:Windows and chose "run as administrator" and this fixed the problem.
    Note that the error message details list an application crash of windows.exe
    I thought I would post this to help others.  I don't know if this is the same problem some folks describe with a continual loop of the error message, problems opening the control panel or problems upon start up.  But if you have a similar problem to the one I described try this very simple fix. 
    Cheers

    I don't know what OS you are running, but under Windows 7 RC build 7100 the selection was ghosted to "run as administrator".
    I was able to stop the problem from happening by right clicking the folder I was having problems with, selecting properties>customize tab and changing the "Optimize this folder for:" from Videos to General Items.
    I know that this particular folder was optimized for general items from the beginning as I had just folders inside which were filled with videos. When I started to move videos into this parent folder to separate them later, this parent folder switched by itself
    to being optimized for Videos. I'm not positive but I think that this was the time I started to have a problem with this folder until I did what I described above.
    This is my very first post, so I hope I explained things well enough to be of help to someone.
    Thanks
    That's fixed my problem.  Stopped responding every time I opened My Videos, changed the file properties to optimized for general and now the icons aren't thumbnail big but it doesn't crash now...  Thank you, it was really starting to bug me.

  • Volumeicon volume keys stop working after adjusting volume via icon

    When Volumeicon is first started, the volume keys work fine, (although it doesn't show the volume bar like it does when you scroll on the icon for some reason). When I adjust the volume by scrolling the mousewheel on the icon, the volume keys stop working and volume can only be adjusted via scrollwheel. Volumeicon must be restarted to restore volume key functionality.
    Why is this happening? What's going on?

    Is this something that worked previously but then stopped working correctly?
    What window manager / desktop environment are you using?
    If you start volumeicon from the command line then use it are there any error messages?
    Alternatively, does the volumeicon-gtk2 packagen in the AUR work better?

  • Lion SMB File Sharing with Windows 7 stops working after reboot

    I'm running my macmini with lion 10.7.1.  I have switched on File Sharing and ticked 'Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)' and ticked my user account.  Using the same account name and password on windows and I can access the shares on the macmini fine.
    Soon as I reboot the macmini the sharing stops working and Windows just prompts for a username and password.  If I disable and enable file sharing again on the macmini then windows can access it again just fine, reboot the mac and it stops again, is this a bug in Lion or have I not got it setup correctly?

    Whatever the issue is, it's still happening for me in 10.7.2

  • Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 stopped working (after many years) with Yahoo Mail since End Nov 2013

    Yahoo has made design changes to Yahoo month or so ago (Nov 2013). Yahoo now states the Outlook (amongst few other apps) does not work well with Yahoo and Outlook now needs another level of security set up on Yahoo account and a special password generated
    by Yahoo Mail. This password now to be used in account configuration in Outlook - instead of your usual account password.
    Tried this on different computers and different user account (of family).  On different accounts it reports either (A) "Receiving error 0x80042108: Outlook cannot connect to your incoming POP3 server" OR (B) Sending error 0x800CCC80
    : None of the Authentication methods supported by this client are supported by your server"
    Any one has solution/suggestion.
    Another question, why Outlook has been singled out by Yahoo now?

    Hi,
    Firstly, let’s refer to the following article to check the settings of POP3 account:
    http://www.emailquestions.com/microsoft-outlook/8548-fix-pop3-imap-settings-yahoo-mail-yahoo-requires-ssl.html
    “The current setting (December 2013) is port 587 + TLS (Authentication required).”

  • Bonjour printer on Windows XP's stops working after reboot

    Hello!
    We have a AirPort extreme with an HP LaserJet 1010 connected to it. AirPort Extreme also serves as a gateway and DHCP server for the LAN.
    Installing the printer on the local machines running Windows XP thru Bonjour works fine and all the documents are printed correctly. The printer is being installed as a single default printer on the system.
    However, printer stops working after Windows XP machines are rebooted (the next morning). The installed printer keeps accumulating documents in queue and not spooling them to the printer. Issue could only be resolved by adding a new printer (which also works fine).
    It seems not to be a connectivity problem as XP machines access the Internet thru the AirPort Extreme without any problem. Bonjour printer setup wizard also instantly sees the printer and is able to install it correctly. Mac's in the same network (iBook G3 and PowerBook G4 with Tiger) are not affected by the issue.
    Any ideas on how the situation could be corrected?
    - Baglan

    Did anyone find a solution to this.
    I have a HP Laserjet 1020 attached to my Airport. Using the Bonjour program on my Windows XP computer it found the printer attached, and added it to my printers. When I print all seems ok - it appears in the printer queue, then disappears as though its printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
    Any ideas? Thanks.
