Solved Windows Explorer Crash

[Jesse Williams]

To Maxie or anyone who is willing to help.

 

[maxie]

Has this happened since last night Jesse ? ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

No. It hasn't.

 

[maxie]

Not much to worry about then ....

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay

It's probably a bug that Microsoft needs to fix with an update.

Hard to say without more data, but I'm not so sure about that - the error code is:

  ERROR_NOT_READY                                                winerror.h
# The device is not ready.

Not sure what device (doesn't have to be a physical device, could be a COM port or any other virtual port device as well), but Explorer rarely crashes on it's own. It's really an appcontainer for all other sorts of code to run inside (Microsoft and non-Microsoft), so without a dump to analyze all we have is the error code, which would indicate it's not actually the shell that's at fault here.

You have Soluto on all your Computers ? ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

Yes

There were no dump files.

I might have been looking in the wrong place. I don't know.

 

[maxie]

Just curious have you found the Software useful ? ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

Yes. Any kind of crash, the computer sends to the Soluto servers. I can look up what the crash was about and what not. It will let you disable apps that hog performance, but I did that once and that's what I believe messed up my Launch Manager on my laptop. But, Launch Manager is back working now. It also tells you more things. I can send you a link on it.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Cluberti, this happened when I was opening the Charms Bar.

Maxie, if you are familiar with OnStar in GM automobiles, then that was Soluto reminds me of.

Never heard of it Jesse ... How much space do you have left on your Hard Drive ?

[Jesse Williams]

I'll have to turn it on and check. I have a 500GB hard drive.

 

[maxie]

Would imagine it is Partitioned ? ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

Actually, it's a 320 GB hard drive with 4 GB DDR3 memory. It says 146 GB free of 282 GB. I've already ran Disk Cleanup.

You have tons of room left on the Hard Drive ... If there any Programs you do not use you could Uninstall them ...
