At the start of office shows icons and then goes to a blank white screen. I have Vista Home edition

When I turn on my Dell Inspiron with Vista Home preinstalled desktop PC; the system starts with the desktop icons and then goes to a white screen, absolutely nothing to click on display. I hit control, alt delete, then to display the Task Manager. I click on the Task Manager and the display shows nothing is running. now the taskbar displays the shortcut at the bottom of the screen icons. I then click on the desktop at the bottom of the screen icon and mode full-screen displays a complete picture, including the background with the regular complete icons. Why this happens, and how not to eliminate the white screen after starting? The Task Manager does not fix this.

Native: Problem solved! My computer flashed a Message automatically asking me to update 'Safemode Dell Now. So I said yes, and the update took about 2 Minutes. Everything seems to be OK. I appreciate enormously the support you offered, and say... THANK YOU for your help. Kind regards... Frank 2468

    1. press and hold the sleep/wake button

    3. hold both buttons until the screen turns off, then back on with the Apple logo.

  • notification area icons change to "Show icon and notification. »

    For some reason, the "Windows Task Manager" notification icon continues to change its behavior.  I had put the behavior "Show icon and notification" to the Manager of the tasks, but when I right click on the taskbar and select "Start Task Manager", I get the up arrow icon icon rather than the Task Manager.  I go to the arrow and click on customize and change the behavior to return to "Show icon and notification.

    Is there a reason why it keeps changing to "display only notifications?

    Hi Artoo,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand from the description of the issue, your computer task manager notification icon continues to change.

    I appreciate if you could answer a few questions:

    1. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    2 have the Windows Task Manager before notification work?

    3. the question has started recently?

    The task manager has two different views. For the display that includes menus and tabs, double-click the border of the Task Manager window. To return to the view without menus and tabs, double-click anywhere in the border around the tabs.

    I suggest you follow this Microsoft article below which will help you to solve the problems of Task Manager, under article is also applicable to Windows 7:

  • I went to upgrade to El Capitan, it was last night. I have a blank white screen. I tried to turn off my computer, but when I turn it back on all that I get is a status bar that shows its about 3/4 downloaded and then it goes back to a blank white thyristo

    I tried to download El Capitan. Has started last night. all I have is a blank white screen. I stop my computor waited awhile and he turned his back. I work around a status bar indicating that it is about 3/4 full, then it goes back to a blank white screen?

    I had this problem too on my iMac (21.5 inch, late 2009) and I tried to restore to the previous version and then do the update again, but I got the same results.  I also tried to reinstall OS X option of the application of the utilities on the recovery disk that took a few hours but got the same results.  Finally, I tried to restart and make a secure boot (hold down the SHIFT key when the bell rang and rejection when the Apple shows up) and I was able to get the computer to boot.  When I logged in a window pops up saying "Complete Installation" and still had 6 min.  When he finally finished, I was an able to connect as usual and everything works fine now.   My mid 2009 Macbook Pro has no problems with the update but my iMac has been a pain.  I hope this helps you and anyone else who may have this problem.

    What is the problem with your fonts?

    I have very few problems of fonts in my notes...

    I took a this auditor of fonts and I don't know what that is supposed to do, but it takes too much time everything he does, so I just stopped after several minutes while it digested 2 files.   It also seems to be unsupported.

    I compressed to the top of my fonts folder and put it on my SkyDrive, but I don't know too much about the operation of the fonts with XP and think that they must be "installed" by clicking on the file and choose to install the fonts.

    I have NO idea if this zipped upward file will help you or not, but I would be sure to make a copy of what you have before overwriting things.  If things go haywire, I might have to leave town for a few days until things cool off.

    One thing is for sure... we don't know even what it is, or anything on your system.  It is because the MS Answers forum ask all system information when a new question is requested (which is doubly certain).

    I downloaded a copy of my zipped folder fonts on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need it (fonts.zip).

    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you will not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, it cannot save the file with an extension (for example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.
