my explorer.exe freezes?
440534
To make this a bit less annoying, first off, instead of rebooting, try Ctrl + Alt + Del to access the task manager, then end the explorer.exe, if listed.  Then go to File - New Task (Run) and type 'explorer.exe' and hit enter to get everything running again, hopefully.  At least until you try to right-click again.  This should help hold you over.\n\nGo to Start - Run and type sfc.exe /scannow ---then hit Enter.\n\nAlso click here to download a registry patch that will disable the right-click function of XP.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenuundo.reg\n\n(I believe that you would have to reboot the computer for this to apply, but I would try first without rebooting)\n\nThen click here to reenable it.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenu.reg\n\nI thought this would be much easier than editing the registry.  Hope this works for you, it has for others.  Good luck.

OK. First try pressing the start key on your keyboard (it's the one with the flag-like symbol between the Ctrl and Alt keys). If that doesn't help,Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete. ONce that window opens, go to the top and click on "File", then choose "New task, (Run...)"\n\ntype in "explorer". That should take care of it.

When I had a virus my screen kept freezing up (use anti spy-ware) to clean it up. I have also been told not to you explorer when opening up, but to use Mozilla Firefox instead. Best of Luck, Hope this works for you.

Update virus protection.  Uninstall Explorer, clean cache, defrag and scan disk, reinstall Explorer. Hope that helps.\n\nHere is the website for Microsoft Tech Support: http://support.microsoft.com/

You're working on a letter or email, or browsing the web, when suddenly the computer slows to a crawl, or worse, freezes altogether. So what's next? The first impulse is usually to kick the computer, or any nearby sturdy object.\n\nBut apart from allowing you to vent your frustration, this achieves very little and there are other, more scientific, ways of dealing with the problem.\n\nCrashes often occur simply because a program has struggled to complete a task, so trying to identify the piece of software that is in distress can help you out in both the short and long term, especially if a specific program is causing problems on a regular basis.\n\nSo before your foot lashes out at the PC, consider trying another course of action: hold down the Control and Alt buttons on the keyboard, and press Delete (we'll refer to this as pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del).\n\nLong-term PC users might recognise this as the old-fashioned way to reset a computer, but under Windows it is the way to access the advanced tools for diagnosing and fixing problems.\n\nThink of it in the same way as opening the bonnet of a car to have a look inside. In this case, the bonnet and the tools for fixing PC gremlins are found in the same place: the Task Manager.\n\nBe warned, though: while you can't permanently damage your computer using the Task Manager, clicking the wrong button can freeze the PC so that you will need to reboot it.\n\nThe Task Manager operates differently depending on which version of Windows you are using. If you are using earlier versions, such as 95, 98 or Me, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del will bring up a single Task Manager window, working similarly to the Applications tab in Windows XP's Task Manager.\n\nAlthough it doesn't offer the same level of control as Windows XP, you can still use it to diagnose and cure some faults. You will see a list of applications; some may have the words 'Not Responding' after their names. If this is the case, click the End Task button to close that application, which may return your system to normal.\n\nFlip open the bonnet\nIf you are using Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del will bring up the Windows Security dialogue box. This features settings for a range of Windows housekeeping tasks, and you can click on the button for Task Manager here.\n\nIf you are using Windows XP Home, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del will open the Task Manager straight away. You can also access it from your Windows Desktop by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting Task Manager, or by holding down Control and Shift, and pressing Escape.\n\nThe Task Manager dialogue box has several tabs running along the top, the first of which is the Applications tab. If a program seems to have stopped working, this screen should be your first port of call. It shows you what applications your computer is running, and their current status.\n\nIf a program is working normally, its status will be marked Running under the Status heading. If the status of a program is shown as Not Responding, it may have crashed or frozen. We'll cover how to deal with this further on.\n\nBack to front\nRight-click on any program in the Applications list and a menu will appear. Choosing the first option in the list - Switch To - will make that program the active one; in other words it will be brought to the front of the Desktop and you can use it as normal. The second option, Bring To Front, also moves the program to the front of the Desktop.\n\nThe next set of options, Maximize, Minimize, Cascade and Tile, are used to arrange windows on the screen. You can use them one by one on particular programs in the list, or select a group of programs by clicking on one, holding down the Control key and clicking on any others you want to select, and arrange the selection of windows on-screen as you like. Try launching three or four programs and arranging them in different ways.\n\nThe final two options are useful if you think a program has crashed

Once in a while, if you are doing multiple things, it will not DL properly. Try to un-install and start all over again, also you may want to see what kind of Ineternet Explorer you have - Good Luck.

the browser isn't closing properly, instead of rebooting, you can try this\n\nHold Down Control, alt and press delete, that'll bring up the task manager, locate iexplore.exe, right click it, and close processes, click yes when the warning comes up, and that'll close it down for you. Thats only a temp fix, i'm not sure why its stayin on after you close it\nCan you give us more info?? version of windows, browser type???\n\nR3dm0

We need a bit more information to really be of assistance here. What are you doing when it freezes, how many add-ons do you have, how many toolbars is installed, how often is it freezing, what else do you have open when it freezes, how many tabs are open when it freezes, what type of system do you have, how much memory-RAM do you have, what processor is installed, the video card, has the freezing occurred from the beginning or did it start at a later date, what sort of active X controls do you have, etc. \n\nWithout some of the above information it became very difficult if not impossible to help out. I can tell you that the box to send an error report is for you to decide if you want to send off the error report and the information in contains regarding the freezing episode to Microsoft, who will then compile the information, and come up with a response, or a fix to offer those like you who are having such problems. It is possible there may already be such a fix, if you click to send the report a link will be provided which may contain information on what to do to fix this, and other types of information to attempt to isolate the problem yourself and then fix it. This error report sends some of the above information to the Microsoft Labs, such as processor, and other computer configuration details. \n\nI can also tell you that you can remove IE7 and have IE6 placed back onto your system. Use the Add/Remove applet in Control Panel to remove IE7, when you reboot IE6 will be back installed on your system. At least that was how it worked before the mass downloading of IE7 via the Automatic Updates and I wouldn't think the behavior had changed, as some people just don't want to switch to IE7 yet, and there are those who have problems, like you are, who want to get rid of IE7 and have IE6 back. Why don't you go ahead and remove IE7, reboot and IE6 should be back. If it isn't just redownload and install IE7 again. Heck, just go ahead and go it anyway, as a new instance of IE7 may fix your problem as it may be a bad or currupt file in your version which is causing it to freeze up. I have been using IE7 for a month now and I like it a lot more than IE6. It only took me one day to get use to and come to love all the new features and security. \n\nGood luck and I hope you get this fixed really soon. Write more details so somebody else can offer a bit more help than I was able to. Have a great day!

You may have a corrupt registry or a virus.  Try this command in the task manager "explorer.exe" if not, try running the pc in safe mode and run your antivirus program to check for any viruses. If that doesnt work try creating a boot disk from a friends pc.  then type regedit/restore to restore ur pc to an earlier date. If that doesnt work try the microsoft website.
