• I don't have the desktop icons, task bar or the start menu. All I have is my wallpaper.

  I think I'm done inadvertently the Explorer.exe process when trying to figure out which bogged down my laptop. I have now no start menu, no desktop icons, no task bar... nothing! The paper just painted. When I right click on the wallpaper I get nothing. I have no idea how to get that back. If I had not left my email up, I wouldn't even be able to access the internet!

  Hello.

  You should be able to press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC to open the Task Manager.
  From there, click on file > new task (run...), then type "explorer.exe" in the dialog box and click on enter.
  Of course, should explore back upward during restart as well.

• Windows 7 task bar and especially start menu freezes constantly

  Recently, I have had weird problems with the taskbar and especially start menu gel and the entire system trolling. I'm sure this isn't hardware problems, like my laptop with windows 7 Professional has a processor core i5 and 6 GB of ram. Sometimes for the use of my computer, just start menu freezes without reason when I type something in the search box. The taskbar freezes too sometimes, but rarely. I find it really weird because when I say sometimes, I mean about 3 times a day. Even more troubling, whenever windows Explorer freezes completely up, I got Task Manager and see that I'm only using about 25% 50% cpu and ram. To make things worse, I have manually to complete the process explorer.exe in Task Manager, and then open it again with race, only to freeze again just after that the taskbar appears. Is could someone please tell me what is happening.

• Win 7 hover over lance programs task bar icons automatically

  VMWare Fusion 3.1.0 running a Win 7 Pro 32 bit VM and a Win 7 Pro 64-bit VM. Suddenly I'm getting unusual behavior when I just run the cursor over any icon pinned to the taskbar, the program starts automatically, or if there is already a window open a new instance of the same program is launched. What is happening in the two Win 7 VM. My XP Pro works fine. It seems that things are fine unless my cursor touches a taskbar icon, date at which a new instance of the program under the cursor is launched. As you can imagine which makes the two VM unusable. I tried looking for some obscure preference and done a fairly thorough research on the internet, but can't find even a mention of the issue.

  Does anyone have a hypothesis? Thank you.

  Hi all

  I realized my conflict.  It's Smart Scroll preference.  I just had to add Vmware fusion for expectations and goes off for this application.

  Thanks for your help, Welles,

• Start/task bar freezes, but can still work on all open windows? : S

  Hello and thank you if you took the time to read this.

  I'm on Vista x 64

  I'll start by when I turn on my pc.  (and an example of what is happening)

  Turn on > enter password > windows start > if I leave my computer for a few moments without start all programs, the start bar will freeze after about 5 minutes.

  I am then unable to open all programs, if I try Ctrl + Alt + Delete I try to start the Task Manager, but it's too frozen and I can't terminate any process.

  The only thing I can do is Ctrl + Alt + Del again and shut down my computer.

  (is where it gets more weird)

  If I start my pc > fill in password > open some programs quickly before the start bar freezes (because he ends up by themselves) then the start bar freezes after a short period (1 min) (for example) Firefox/Chrome open, Photoshop, E-mail, etc. open, I am able to use all these programs, unless I have close or minimize the window for them , making it impossible to get again (even if they are still running as a process)

  If I try to Alt + Tab the real Vista Alt + animation tab that opens in the middle of the screen sits there frozen too impossible to close or change the program.

  To add to the strangeness >

  I then press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click CLOSE in the lower right, when I do this the ' the following documents are still open you want to save before windows shuts etc etc etc...'   So I click Cancel instead of "Force Shut down" and everything will come back to working perfectly!

  I'm confused and have no idea of what I should...

  I'm guessing a repair would be useful, but there may be something im missing

  Thank you for reading if you have any help much appreciated!

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

• During an update to Windows Vista, my office has disappeared with the task bar and start menu.

  I can only access my and other programs through the Task Manager.  I have tried troubleshooting, I restore my computer on the eve of what has happened, but nothing helps.  Any ideas?

  Hi cthodges

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

  I would like to ask you a few questions to help focus in the right direction:

  Are there other specific details that you can provide that will help us understand and solve your problem?

  We can try a few steps and check if it works:

  Run explorer.exe from the Task Manager > new > task. If the start menu reappears, it would confirm the cause.

  We can now perform the following steps:

  Step 1:

  Run an on-line analysis of your PC of malicious software:

  If you want to scan your computer for malware and potentially unwanted on a Web site, please use the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner.

  Windows Live OneCare safety scanner is an online service that lets scan you your computer to protect yourself, clean and operate at its best. Use our free protection scan to check and remove viruses, spyware and other potentially unwanted software and to find vulnerabilities in your Internet connection.

  You can also run Anti-Malware on your computer. Follow the steps in this link:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistasecurity/thread/ba80504b-61f1-4D71-960f-b561798b7b42

  Step 2:

  To use a boot option, follow these steps:

  a. restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.

  b. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.

  c. when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in the bottom, select the installation that you want to start and then press ENTER.

  If it works fine in safe mode, infer you that all third-party programs are causing the problem.

  Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  (Note: after find you the problem causing the program, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup)

  S tep 3 :

  The SFC utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a sfc on the windows vista computer scan. To run a scan suite sfc as follows:

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

  See this link for more information:

  Hope this information was useful.

  Let me know if it worked.

  All the best!

• T500: The Start Menu/task bar unresponsive (freezes for a second or 2)

  I have hesitation that the xp/vista way organizes the start menu/task bar, so I use classic windows btw. Sometimes when I click programs on the start menu, task bar hotkeys, nothing happens (unresponsive for 1 ~ 2 seconds) which is disturbing. I tried the fix from microsoft for the absence of reaction for a long period of time, but I already said. Someone knows how to fix this?

• Task Bar frozen without access to the Start button.

  I recently made an update to the driver on a Thinkpad W7 Pro running. After the final reboot, the taskbar is frozen and I can't left or right click on the task bar icons. I tried a reboot to safe mode, but the taskbar is frozen in this mode as well. Most of the listed solutions run in the Forum need by using the Start button to access the menu or command. What can I do if the only thing I can do now is to run the program icons on my desktop?

  You are welcome.

• How come back initially on an editing session without closing the entire program and start again?

  How come back initially on an editing session without closing the entire program and start again?

  Hello

  There are two answers to this. If you have not saved the image since the opening, you can restore the file Menu-Revert or F12 and that will bring back you at the beginning. A more elegant solution is the historical Panel.

  Photoshop has a history panel (Windows Menu-history) that keeps track of everything you do on an image and allows you to go back in the flow of work and in effect then go ahead if you change your mind. The original image is always registered as a snapshot and then subsequent action recording. So you can come back not only the original image, but any previous change after opening. You can even take your own snapshots which is a useful feature.

  Hope that helps
