Welcome! This blog is dedicated to the Internet and computers, or rather was dedicated to them.
Probably, it is immediately clear that for many years no new articles have appeared on the site. Yes, that is the fate of most blogs. Once this project was an ambitious undertaking, and the author, like many others writing at that time, had ambitious plans to become one of the best Russian bloggers. Well, if you look now, of those blogs that were created at the same time as mine, most have already disappeared into eternity. And I simply didn’t have enough time to blog. So yeah, it's not updated anymore. Although once we won the contest "Runet Blog 2011" with this site.
I even thought about deleting all this, but then I reviewed the old materials, and realized that they could still be useful to readers. Yes, some articles are outdated (if I have the strength, they will receive appropriate marks), but the site, for example, can be useful for beginners - here you can read about the basic concepts of the Internet, learn how to configure the Internet, Windows, or even decide to switch to Linux. So look at the categories and choose the one that suits you.
And yet, I hope that this is more than just a blog, but a real guide to the Internet. The site can be viewed in directory mode, where all available articles are structured by category. And, who knows, maybe one day new quality articles will start to appear here.

Picodi.ru is a discount portal from International Coupons, a Polish expert in the field of savings and cheap shopping. The Poles are considered one of the most economical nations in the world, so it is not surprising that this type of project grew out of the Polish startup kodyrabatowe.pl. How can this portal be useful to an ordinary Internet user in Russia?
Modern android phones are more than phones. You get used to the set of installed programs, to the history of your calls and text messages, the collection of photos and much more. But time goes by, and the device that suits you completely starts to slow down, fail, or simply loses its presentable appearance due to chips on the case or scratches on the screen. The question arises of choosing a new phone and changing the android phone. And if we now bypass the issue of choice, then "moving" to a new phone remains a serious problem - you absolutely don’t want to start all the data from scratch. That's what we'll talk about today.
Most of the readers of this blog, most likely, have never encountered version control systems and will not encounter them in the near future. It's a pity. This extremely convenient invention is widely used by programmers, but, in my opinion, it could be very useful for those who actively work with texts. But, probably, now there is not a single version control system that would be easy to start using for "office" (Microsoft Office) work. Nevertheless, I think that the material presented in the article may be of interest to all readers.
If you have been thinking about how to watch movies on the network and access the Internet from your TV, this article is for you. No, I am aware that some TVs already have Smart TV functionality, but I have never seen it work properly. This is probably why Google recently demonstrated an absolutely amazing device that immediately became a sensation. We are talking about the Chromecast media streamer (Chromkast), a more advanced and affordable version of last year's failed Nexus Q player.
The Chromecast dongle, which measures up to 2 inches, connects to the HDMI port of your TV and allows you to enjoy streaming web content. To control the streamer, you can use any device (tablet, PC, smartphone) based on the operating platform iOS, Windows, Android or Mac OS.
This article is about the android system memory device, the problems that may arise due to its lack and how to solve them. I myself recently encountered the fact that my android phone began to regularly issue messages about the lack of memory when trying to install this or that application. Which was very strange for me, given that, according to the description on the market, there should have been about 16GB, and even I increased this amount with an additional memory card. However, there was a problem, and I had to tinker a lot before I found the right solution that did not require root access or a full factory reset of the phone.
This is a standard Windows program created on the same engine as Internet Explorer. Used to work with disks, files and folders. It is in it that users get when they click on the label " My computer". Sometimes there may be problems with the utility that lead to an unplanned shutdown.
In some cases, the program simply does not respond And restarts, in more serious it is completely stops working and refuses to turn on. This article describes what to do to resolve these errors.
video card is related to the operation of almost all programs on the computer. Windows Explorer is no exception. If during operation it periodically shows errors and stops functioning - the solution to the problem should start in updating the drivers. The current version could be damaged or simply outdated, and therefore does not perform its functions correctly. There are 3 ways to update the video driver:
By default, it downloads all necessary updates automatically. If you have previously changed its settings and turned off auto-update, click on the utility icon in the tray(panels with icons at the bottom of the screen). In the window that opens, click on the " Search for updates».
When you first install the video drivers, your personal computer also installs special software for automatic download And installations new versions. You can open it and search for new patches.
Third way: visit the manufacturer's official website your graphic adapter and download from it latest driver package.
After that, you need to restart your computer and try to start it again. If the issue is not resolved, continue on.
Corrupted system files may also cause a shutdown. The Windows operating system has a special utility with which you can automatically check and fix problems with system files. If some data has been damaged as a result of failures or actions of virus programs, you can easily fix this error.
To do this, do the following:
Wait a while for the scan to complete. After that, restart your personal computer and try to run Windows Explorer again.
The Windows Command Prompt does not support copying using the Ctrl + V hotkeys. Either enter the commands manually, or copy using context menu(called by pressing the right mouse button anywhere in the console).
Malicious scripts and viruses can cause any error. Infected libraries or the explorer exe file itself, live services - all this can lead to permanent completes your work and restarts or does not turn on at all.
The solution to the problem is very simple - antivirus program. Just fire up your antivirus and start a full Windows system scan. All infected files will be quarantined and disinfected or deleted.
If your personal computer does not have an anti-virus program, it is highly recommended to install it. Not working is not the biggest problem that viruses can cause. If you are not ready to purchase an antivirus, you can use free tool from Microsoft Corporation, which can be downloaded from the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5201.
It is recommended that you always keep this program enabled to protect your operating system and personal data. If you need to disable it during the installation of any applications, try not to download any files from the network during an increased vulnerability.
The solutions described above more often solve situations in which it restarts constantly. But what if it completes its work only sometimes? First of all, it is necessary to monitor the amount of free random access memory and workload of the central processor.
To do this, do the following:
If the values of these parameters often reach 90–95% - your computer can start working unstable And terminate various processes to unload. In this case, it is necessary stop those apps which you are not currently using.
If such problems occur frequently and even when the computer is idle, it is necessary to clean your computer from dust And diagnose its components. Perhaps it should increase the amount of RAM.
Another common reason for such errors is corrupted videos and images. While creating, editing, or downloading a file, an error may have occurred that caused the corruption. Such files cannot be opened.
As it runs, it opens image and video files and saves a thumbnail of the image to display it. These thumbnails are called thumbnails. Respectively, if the source has been corrupted, you will not be able to create a sketch, and the program will try to exit.
In case of such a problem, you will need:
If the problems were caused by the inability to display thumbnails, the problem will be solved. Now you can manually identify corrupted media files and delete them. You can then turn thumbnails back on.
Cloud storage clients such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Asus WebStorage and so on can also cause problems. They are being introduced into , slightly changing its operation and adding new features. If you use similar applications - try disable their. In case they caused problems, you must completely remove them from your personal computer.
Then download the new current version from the official site and install it. It is recommended to disable all third-party applications and antivirus during installation.
Every person more or less familiar with a computer is constantly faced with a program called "Explorer". This thing is necessary and useful. True, very often you can observe unforeseen failures in the operation of this application. Why does Windows Explorer, to put it mildly, crash? This can be a one-time or permanent shutdown, and it usually happens at the most inopportune moment. There could be many reasons for this.
The program itself is an integral part of any "OS" of the Windows family. This is her, so to speak, a standard component. In terms of computer terminology, Windows Explorer is a file manager.
Simply put, this is a tool for viewing and managing files and folders located on a computer, including a hard drive (hard drive), logical partitions and removable media such as optical drives, USB devices or removable memory cards.
Probably no need to explain that in the "Explorer" you can open files or perform various standard operations such as copying, cutting, deleting files and folders. That's not the point. The fact is that this application has a lot of functions that are available when you call the drop-down context menu, which is called by clicking on a file or directory with the right button of the manipulator (mouse).
It is here that you can see what the possibilities of the program are. All menus of this type are standard. For example, Windows 8's File Explorer is basically the same as previous versions, with a few exceptions. The menu itself contains tools for opening files using the choice of the desired program, a quick check with the installed antivirus, viewing information about a file or folder, etc. Actually, the same Windows 7 Explorer has a similar set of commands and functions. Although the "seven" is a fairly stable system, nevertheless, not a single user is immune from this failure. If you are a user of one of the indicated operating systems, then you are probably familiar with a similar message that appears hourly on the screen: "Windows Explorer has stopped working."
After that the system hangs. Sometimes it may take a few minutes to recover, but in some cases you even have to restart your computer terminal to start over. And if the user had unsaved data at that moment? It's a shame to spend a lot of time, and then do everything again. Let's try to solve the problem based on the Windows 7 File Explorer application. Why? Yes, simply because this "OS" is the most common today.
There can be many reasons for this application to crash. The most common situations are related to the presence of virus programs in the system or the incompatibility of any installed applications with the “OS” itself. There are, of course, also the reasons connected with system errors. They will be discussed a little later.
So, the user receives a message stating that Windows 7 Explorer has stopped working. What to do? First of all, don't panic. There are plenty of error correction methods. Among the simplest options, there may be standard methods performed using Windows tools or third-party utilities. Another thing is when intervention is required at the level of system resources and components. This, of course, is more difficult, but if you wish, you can cope with it.
First of all, you need to run a virus and malware scan. Please note that it is better not to use the scanner installed in the system by default. Apparently, he already missed the threat.
In this case, portable versions of anti-virus scanners such as Dr.Web, Eset NOD32, Kaspersky, Norton, etc. will come in handy. But the launched program must be different from the one that is present in the system. That is, if Eset NOD 32 is installed in the system, then there will be no sense from the portable version of NOD. It is not recommended to install a second antivirus into the system, as there may be a conflict between the antivirus packages themselves. People say: this is the same as locking Stalin and Hitler in the same room.
If the virus is found and removed, a system restart will be required, after which it will be possible to see if the problem persists. If the error occurs again and again, go to the next step.
Now a few words about safe mode. It is just created in order to correct errors in the system. The fact is that when the system is loaded using this function, only the most basic system elements of the "OS" function. It is generally possible to boot a computer terminal without driver support. It is very likely that some of them can cause system errors, but this, as a rule, is quite rare.
After starting the system (pressing the F8 key at startup), you need to test Windows Explorer. If everything works without failures and errors, then the problem lies precisely in the installed software products.
Sometimes a problem in the Windows Explorer program can occur precisely because of the incompatibility of some programs that embed their own commands in the main or context menu of the file manager. They will need to be disabled. This will require a small utility called ShellExView. It is distributed completely free of charge. In addition, you can find a crack for this application on the Internet. True, it will require installation on a hard drive, since there is no portable version for this program.
After installation, at the first start, the main window will appear, in which all command elements will be displayed. It is necessary to sort the elements by type by clicking on the corresponding “Type” field at the top. Now we need to look at the commands that are assigned the type "Context Menu". Now you will need to deactivate absolutely all items that are not manufactured by Microsoft Corporation. Do not be surprised, sometimes you have to disable Intel services, archiver commands, etc. There is nothing wrong with that. In principle, you can also use a quick shutdown using the F7 function key.
After completing these steps, you will again need to reboot the system, followed by testing the problem. In some cases, this method is quite effective.
This command is universal for most cases when you need to fine-tune the system. In this case, we are interested in autorun programs and background services. This command is called from the "Run" menu field.
After the command is started, selective launch is selected in the "General" section (tab). The loading of system services remains enabled, but the box "Load startup items" must be unchecked.
After that, you need to use the "Services" tab, in which select the "Do not display Microsoft services" field. Now you can try pressing the "Disable all" button and agree to the offer to restart the computer.
After a new start, we again call the msconfig command. Now you can enable services (preferably one at a time) followed by a reboot. As soon as a problem appears, it will already be possible to tell exactly which service is affecting the appearance of an unexpected error. In the future, it can simply not be used. On the other hand, the problem can occur again and again, so it is highly recommended to test all services. Of course, this will take a lot of time, but it will be possible to determine with certainty the component that affects the crash of the Explorer.
In some cases, the so-called restoration of system files may be required, since a violation in their work can lead not only to errors in the Windows Explorer program, but also to the inability of the system to self-repair even with the determination of the last checkpoint. Windows OS may give messages that the hard drive needs to be checked for errors, although this is absolutely not the problem itself. However, the same question, how to fix Windows 7 Explorer, can be solved in this way.
In order to start the process of scanning and restoring system files, you need to have Administrator rights, this is a prerequisite. For example, in Windows 7, the menu sequence "Start" / "All Programs" / "Accessories" / "Command Prompt" is used for this. If the user is not logged in as Administrator, there is a way out. By right-clicking on the command, you need to select the sub-item "Run as Administrator" (if necessary, you will need to enter a password).
Now in the window that appears, the system command sfc / scannow is entered and the Enter key is pressed. Within a few minutes, the system will check for problems and issue a recovery message (if errors were still present).
In general, the most common methods for restoring the performance of Windows Explorer are described here. As a rule, in most cases, all these methods (singly or in combination with each other) are very effective.
If all else fails, you can turn to the Microsoft forums and look for a description of the problem and how to fix it. In extreme cases, you can try to reinstall the "OS", but not over the old version, but after completely formatting the hard drive. This is only due to the fact that when reinstalling the new OS, it may inherit the errors of the old one, and you will not achieve the desired result.
However, as already mentioned, this approach can only be used as a last resort, because it is clear that each user has a lot of information stored on their hard drive, many programs are installed, etc. Before reinstalling, the necessary files will have to be copied to some removable media to avoid information loss. But the programs will have to be reinstalled manually.
If you are faced with the problem of Explorer, then you need to understand that there can be a large number of reasons for the termination of its work, so we will investigate and find sources. So, you got the error " File Explorer has stopped working", What to do?
This tool helps in most cases get rid of Explorer errors. You can download from this link: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
As I said, this method often helps. In a special case, we proceed to the following methods.
You need to go into safe mode and make sure the explorer is stable. Is everything working great? So the reason is in some application installed on the computer. Think back to what you were doing before the problem arose. Viruses can also be the cause, so you need to check your computer for their presence.
If the problem is observed in safe mode, then the reason is in the system files. Read the solution below.
A common way to solve many problems is. This is done using an elevated command prompt. Open it and enter the command:
sfc /scannow
The result of the check may be positive, or a message will appear that some files could not be checked or restored. Then you need to look at the information in the logs. We go along this path and look: С:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.
As I said, virus software is also the cause of many problems. Use the following resources to help:
If the system has been updated, or the driver, then the software could be installed raw with flaws, so it will have to be done in other ways. How to do this is written on the specified link.
If none of the above helped, then ask experienced specialists who can be found on various computer forums or write in the comments below.
In the next article, I will cover . I hope you were able to fix the "Explorer has stopped working" error.
When performing any actions on a PC, the user may encounter a sudden closure of Windows Explorer, accompanied by the message "Explorer has stopped working." This problem can be caused by a variety of reasons, from the presence of viruses in the system, and ending with malfunctions in the PC memory. Below I will analyze why an explorer error occurs in Windows 7, and how to fix it.
Windows Explorer (also known as "file explorer") is a system tool that displays the hierarchical structure of files, folders, and drives on your PC. You can use it to copy, move, rename and find the files and directories you need. The occurrence of failures in its operation can cause a lot of inconvenience, therefore, when the dysfunction discussed in the article appears, it is recommended to immediately proceed to solving the problem that has arisen.
The reasons for the termination of the Explorer in Windows 7 may be the following:
The following methods will help to get rid of the error “Explorer closes in windows 7”:
A fairly simple (and effective) tip is to copy the Explorer file to the System32 directory. Go to the C:\Windows directory, find the explorer.exe file there, and copy it to the C:\Windows\System32 directory.
This method is relevant if you have access to the functionality of your "Explorer". If there is no such access, skip this tip and move on.
An effective way to solve the problem of Explorer crash in Windows 7 is to use the functionality of the SFC and CHKDSK utilities. Run the command line as administrator, and type in it:
After performing this check, type the following command (you may need to reboot the system to run it):
Reboot the system, wait for the verification process to finish, then use your Explorer. If the error persists, move on.
Viruses, adware, spyware and other malignant software present on the computer can cause an explorer error in Windows 7. Check the system using programs such as DoctorWeb Curate, AdwCleaner and analogues.
First, boot into safe mode (at system startup, quickly press F8, then select "Safe Mode"). If the error occurs in this mode, it will be necessary to perform a clean boot of the system to determine the cause of the error.
Once the culprit has been identified (or the culprit has not been found), return the system to normal boot mode. Re-launch the system configuration window as mentioned above and select "Normal startup".
It is recommended to update the drivers for the system components of your PC. They can be downloaded both from the website of their manufacturer, and you can use semi-automatic tools such as DriverPack Solution, Driver Genius and others that update drivers to the most current versions.
Install the necessary updates for your OS, designed to stabilize its operation. Use the functionality of "Windows Update" for this.
In some cases, the termination of the "Explorer" program in Windows 7 causes problems in the operation of the memory strips. To check them, it is recommended to use a specialized system utility (click on "Start", then type mdsched in the search bar and press enter), or Memtest86 level tools.
If there was no earlier error (Explorer stopped working) in Windows 7, it is worth using a system reset to a restore point. To do this, press Win + R, type rstrui there, and then press enter. Choose a stable restore point and roll back your system.
The causes of the error “Explorer has stopped working in Windows 7” can be a whole range of factors, ranging from damage to system files to problems with PC memory. Follow the whole set of the above tips, this will help get rid of Windows 7 Explorer crash on your computer.
