After windows vista update, I can't left click the icon to start windows on the lower left toolbar. I have to use system restore to save updates until the start icon thaws. How can I fix it?

If I right click on the start icon I can use explorer to access programs, but do not have access to stop, restart, etc.

Hi, John Purcell, n.
 
I you suggests that install you the update and then run sfc scan on the computer.

Method 1:
I suggest you to perform SFC scan on the computer.
Scan SFC enforcement procedure:
1. click on the Start button
2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories
3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option
4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option
5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.
6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter
7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.
8. be patient because the analysis may take some time
9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue
10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  • Computer won't turn on after a Vista update. How can I fix?

    Yesterday, I tried to install a Vista update.  It was wide enough because the message says that I wouldn't be able to use my computer for about an hour.  I started the process and the left.  4hours later I returned and my computer is waiting for permission to restart to continue the update process.  I rebooted and for a while it seemed to make progress.  Again, I have left for another 3 hours or more, and when I got back to my computer was hibernating and wouldn't wake up.  After trying to wake up in vain for 15 minutes, I made a forced stop.  During its restart in safe mode, I got a message saying that the computer failed to start and suggested a system recovery, who did.  He worked on that when I had to go to work.  Throughout this process, he has been connected with a full battery.  4 hours later I went back to work.  Despite being connected, with the lit sheet icon, my computer was off with the battery low light flashing.  I tried to turn it on.  He showed the black and grey, window prompting me to start in SafeMode or start regularly, before I could choose, the low battery alarm when off the coast and off the computer.  Now, I can't turn on my computer with or without the battery then that plugged or unplugged.  I don't know what the exact date was, just that it's an update to Vista.

    Hello

    It sounds like a hardware error which would happen at the next reboot and is
    probably incidental to the update. You need help from a real computer store (one who
    internal service and not of leeks and display a Best Buy or other stores)
    or support from the system manufacturer.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to recover "Favorites" on browser after using "System Restore".

    After problems with the systems updates (update failed), I used 'more than 5 days of system recovery' to return to the time before the problem started. After the recovery of the system, all my "favorite quote" disappeared and I want to get back them.  I have an old backup DVD and wonder if I could use my computer until the back ups. The problem is that I don't know IFI load the DVD into my hard drive would do the job.  I'm afraid I can complicate the issue more before that I don't know what the DVD of loading would.

  • I have Firefox 22.0 who does not read the .js files. How could I fix it?

    I think that the problem started after I installed also Chrome on my computer. But I do not know...

    If this happens again, you can try basic steps as for the problems with web pages:

    Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and cookies from Web sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
  • my system restore does not work I get a screen white how fix this?

    do not know why it does this

    Do you mean your restore page of the system restore just says calendar system in the title bar and the calendar is just a blank white screen?

    Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

    There are probably a few other things that do not work you know yet, so fix them all at once.

    Re-registration of these DLLs is correct, even if they do not need renewal.  You can also re-register the dll before the scans that can solve the problem, but the scans are always recommended.

    Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time.

    regsvr32 jscript.dll
    regsvr32 vbscript .dll
    regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll (it's a look of slash)

    The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.

    Check your system restore calendar now.

    The symptom of the problem of fixing and fixing the problem are two different things.

    System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.

    Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    If sfc/scannow solves your problems, I'll send you (or your charitable organization preferred) $10 American.

    Please note that I did have to send $10 to anyone, ever.

  • How to use "System Restore" using the USB boot-able.

    Some updates are being installed and I have turned off, now Vista does not load normally. Instead, Windows loading process is interrupted by error 'blue screen of death '.  Now, I have a USB boot-able with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. When I boot with my USB boot-able and select 'Repair your system', it shows the dialog box 'System Restore Options. " There are no BONES in the list, so I click on "Load drivers", an "Open" dialog box appears.

    1. in the "Open" dialog box, I don't know which file (s) to locate.

    If I cancel and click on 'Next', another windows appears. Then, I select "System Restore". A message pops up saying something like: «to perform an offline system restore, you must specify which Windows installation you want to restore...» For example, enter the command:
    Rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:WINDOWS.

    2. I don't know where I have to give this command.

    My HP dv6700 s system. When I bought it, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit was already installed. But I do not remember the activation code now. And so I can't even contact support and help from microsoft.

    Kindly help me.

    HP gives you the opportunity to make the Vista startup repair from the diagnostic menu? I thought that this was the case. Have you checked? There is a reason for the message warning about don't turn off your computer while updates are being installed and you may need to restore the State of the plant.

    To answer your original question, the drivers that are sought are disk SATA controller drivers. You get them from HP website and set on a (non-bootable) USB to use at the point of "pilots charge."

    If you can not solve this problem, you can copy your data to an external hard drive by booting with a Linux Live like Knoppix or Ubuntu distro from a bootable USB. Then restore the computer as long as the plant. HPs factory to start the recovery process by pressing F11 when the computer starts, but there will be a message about what function key to use.
