    Windows explorer goes bye bye


    Have the same problem with Windows Explorer occasionally doing its own exploring somewhere off my desktop. Maybe its operating in another time warp but it certainly disappears from my system. Then, as if it had to go to the bathroom, it suddenly reappears.

    By the way, I don't have "throttling" in my registry so I can't delete it. If someone comes up with a fix...please let me, and possibly thousands like me, how to correct this annoying problem/

    Yes much problems at the moment as we still have to wait until MS release update fix for Explorer.exe which still has bug problems in ntdll.dll - I usual log off and on and then leave Fx 3.5 open all time but the error messgae would reappear anytime.

    Still waiting for update fix to come up... just sit and feet up.

    However, the latest Windows Updates have resolved this issue for me. I guess we'll never know what was really causing it. If yours hasn't resolved, I suggest you try editing your registry as demonstrated on most websites (search on google) that fixes the problem for a lot of people.

    Kind Regards.

    Hi guys, I posted a solution early in this forum and it has helped one person. After a lot of research about the explorer crashing problem, I have come accross a web site, it gives instructions to delete a registery entry. THIS HAS WORED FOR ME, I have tested my system out after deleting the entry and restarting my computer and have not had the crashing problem again:) If it does crash I will let you all know but fingers crossed.

    Follow my instructions:

    1. Click start
    2. Type regedit and hit enter
    3. Go into the following - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - SQMClient
    4. Then you should see an entry called "MachineThrottling", BACKUP YOUR REGISTERY (file, Export etc...) and DELETE that entry.
    5. Close the Registery Program
    6. Open My computer right click on the hard drive that Windows 7 is installed on
    7. Click Tools Tab
    8. Click check now (make sure the top box is selected - fix file system errors) and OK
    9. Restart your computer

    This has worked for my system and hopefully it will work on yours. If you need help just leave a reply and I will try my best to help out:)
    Do you have any idea what function I would be disabling when I delete "Machine throttling"?
    Sorry I dont know, my system is working fine after I did this. Just make sure you backup yor reg and if you come across any problems import the file you saved .reg.

    Machine Throttling


    I am running the retail version of Windows 7 Professional. There isn't a registry entry that would delete Machine Throttling on my machine. If everyone else has the entry we must have different versions. M$ does have 50 versions of Windows 7 you know!

    Dinesh - He is talking about the solution Bashir posted. He is saying that he is using Windows 7 Professional and he does not have that registry entry. I am also using 7 Professional and I do NOT have the registry entry Bashir speaks of.

    Anyways, I am still having the problem. I am completely up to date on my Windows Update as well. Sometimes it happens right after a reboot by right clicking the Recycle Bin, sometimes it happens 30 mins into my reboot when I am trying to make a new folder or rename a folder with a right click on the desktop.

    Sometimes I have to "restart" Explorer.exe from the pop-up 3 times before it finally works, sometimes I only have to restart it once. This is my only "issue" with Windows 7...once this is fixed I will be able to say that Windows 7 works perfectly for me...Come on Microsoft you can do it!

    Yep, he's right. I just loaded Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and when I tried to right click on the desktop icon to launch the game, I had a windows explorer shut down. Eventually after several stops and retries, I went to the C drive and launched the program from the .exe there. After the game attempted to start i got an incompatibly notice and Windows asked if I wanted the system to fix the problem. I chose that option and now the game launches from the desktop icon. I don't know what was fixed but at least the game is working now (except for an issue I suspect is in the game. Although the native resolution on my 24" Samsung is 1900X1200 and I have the game set on that, Still, the game does not completely fill the screen....there are a couple of inches still black in the margins).
