explorer exe problem on win 7


Recommended Posts

It is a normal Win7 bug. I have it too, and I hope that there soon will be an update for the issue.

I don´t know whether you run the 64-bit or the 32-bit version.

The 64-bit version of Win7 has a 32-bit Explorer, that actually runs better.

 

Its not a Windows 7 bug, its a Explorer bug in general, it also happens in XP. Completely freezes and crash's, sound familiar.

 

Well by removing any addons you may have installed, i had that happen before and it helped me out.

 

If you really want my opinion use firefox.. Crash's solved :thumbsup:

 

or use the method on my first post.

 

nah, im always using firefox and it also crashes down sometimes...

If you use Firefox and it crashes on you quite a bit, have a look at the "NoScript" add-on. Poorly-written JavaScript on web sites can cause problems on any browser. I don't allow scripts to run except on web sites I know don't cause crashes such as the Nexus.

 

This has been a very confusing topic to follow...I think the confusion set in with Balagor's initial response being confused about Windows Explorer vs Internet Explorer.

 

The topic says "Explorer.exe" which is "Windows Explorer"....the FILE explorer / Windows desktop...not a web browser.

 

The Windows Internet Explorer is the web browser and the executable is "iexplore.exe" ... I actually create a firewall rule that blocks Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) by default. I have to actually give permission to allow this junkware to have access to the Internet due to all the security vulnerabilities it has. I only use it if the site I am accessing will only work in Internet Explorer AND I trust that the site won't infect my computer.

 

If you are having problems with iexplore.exe, that is a common complaint. However, if you are having problems with explorer.exe, you may have bigger issues which may require a re-format to resolve. This could be due to damage from a virus/malware, hardware drivers (current or even no-longer active) or hardware issues such as failing ram or hard drives.
