Fspilot737 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi,I am on a windows 2000 computer and when I open "My Computer" with my USB cable in my computer attached to my psp (it happens when the usb is not in) and error message pops up when I right click or regularly click "explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows-you will need to restart the program-an error log has been created" whenever I open something on Windows Explorer. I tryed everything Microsoft support and all that. Can someone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJARRRPCGP Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 It's likely that Windows got corrupted. If the crash don't go away, after removing some third party applications, you're required to reformat and reinstall Windows. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJARRRPCGP Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 OMG! And It's not even my computer! Gee what am I going to tell my cousins......Did you uninstall any application? If you did, is the same problem still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) Something running INSIDE explorer.exe is 99.999% the reason for the crash, not explorer.exe itself (it's just a shell application, and anything can host itself inside if it is coded to do so). Download autoruns from sysinternals and shellexview from Nirsoft and disable all non-Microsoft shell extensions, services, and startup items using these two tools. Reboot, and the problem should go away.At that point, you can start selectively re-enabling things until the problem returns - you should uninstall the offending program tied to whatever ends up being the root cause of your explorer.exe crashes.Good luck.

rjdohnert Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I agree, you may have to reinstall Windows but a little test first. Download the Windows File Explorer and give that a go. If that also hangs it might be a PSP software errorSomething running INSIDE explorer.exe is 99.999% the reason for the crash, not explorer.exe itself (it's just a shell application, and anything can host itself inside if it is coded to do so).
