Honest 836 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 @kamalJust go ahead, no crashes so far, absolutely stable... just ensure basic hardware configuration... Thanks for the clarification dear Dhiraj. My download too was broked 3 times and now I don't want to download it from Microsoft Site. I decided to purchase this month's Digit Magazine which have Windows 7 ISO file on its complimentary DVD. That will be easier I think. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted June 23, 2009 Yesterday I had to reinstall windows 7 as my outlook crashed. My earlier windows 7 installation was hanging. so this time I was little more particular and found that if you are using AVG 8.5 then identity theft protection of AVG and windows defender are doing same job and creates problem. So I disable windows defender and windows started working without problem. Else windows explorer was used to crash every time you start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted June 23, 2009 ^ I am also using AVG 8.5 and tried this resolution, but it does not affect my system even if both defender and avg are running together. All my windows are opening properly under windows explorer and for as long as i desire, except the c:\dbase folder. Whenever I try to open this folder it explorer shuts down by saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and sends a error report to microsoft with this content: Files that help describe the problem: H:\Users\STUDY\AppData\Local\Temp\WER2AEA.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml H:\Users\STUDY\AppData\Local\Temp\WER7801.tmp.appcompat.txt H:\Users\STUDY\AppData\Local\Temp\WER7822.tmp.mdmp I think this problem is somehow related to my using certain dbf file to merge print a document through word; if somehow someone could help me solve this minor irritant... Other than this all other systems are A OK... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open a Windows Explorer. 2. Press Alt, choose Tools->Folder Options, choose View tab. 3. Uncheck “Display file icon on thumbnails”, check “Always show icons, never thumbnails”. 4. Apply the settings. 5. Try to access the problem folder. If it work, it should be a problem with file thumbnail in that folder. If not, could you please test the problem in Safe Mode? Thanks. My Reply- Thanks for your support Zhang; I tried all the solutions you have provided but to no avail; In safe mode, however it takes a little more time for the window to close and I was able to browse and change the display properties to display by date modified; there after when I opened it in normal mode, I was able to see the folder (i.e. C:\dbase) till the time I scrolled down to the dbase.exe file; the moment that file was on the screen, windows explorer shuts down and sends error report. If I dont scroll down to the dbase.exe file, the window stays open... BTW I am also using some *.dbf files to mail merge some documents through MS Word... What a unique problem, eh...?? Awaiting some resolution... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssr 10 Report post Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I installed Windows 7 and removed from system today after usage of about 24 hours.Actual problem begun after installing AVG 8.5 and printer drivers. After installation I got explorer.exe error for not less than 20 times and every time I have to restart system. It can not find any solutions online / otherwise. I liked taskbar of WIN7 a lot. Also its faster than Vista. I think waiting for final release is worth. Its certainly appearing better than vista performance wise. Also driver support is better. My laptop was not supported by vista. Where as in WIN7all hardware were enabled. It may be because of AVG, Install only windows 7 supported antivirus. I am currently using kaspersky beta version for windows 7. Yes, with Windows 7 you need not have to worry about drivers ok, looks like you already found a soultion Edited June 25, 2009 by ss_rakesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 Update: Windows 7 working A OK. Except for the Dbase folder problem which seems to be a conflict as both XP and Windows 7 are using the dbf files from the same folder and using in Access and Word, and as we all know dbase4 is a pretty obsolete program; otherwise dbase also working ok; Rest, after this initial hiccups, I am yet to encounter any problems with W7 and have never felt the need to boot into XP since the day I installed it....

kshah 452 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 I mentioned about AVG 8.5 with identity theft protection (malware protection ) which had conflict with widows defender. I disabled windows defender as well as AVG 8.5 identity theft protection and system is perfectly stable - perhaps as stable as WIN XP. Win7 seems to be faster than XP and appear to have better battery life too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
