Battery Notification icon disappeared and Im unable to put in operation (option is greyed out)

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 (Compaq Presario Notebook)

The battery in my menu task notification icon disappeared about 2 weeks ago... I tried to turn on the hidden, icon but it is grayed out and could not click on that I am the full administrator and not on a network of group work or school. I use the laptop for very simple tasks, so I should not have group policy. I went to Device Manager and battery information says that I have a Composite of Microsoft AC adapter battery, a battery of method control compatible ACPI Microsoft, Microsoft... I did not perform any task in there because it seemed a little daunting and Im unfamiliar with this area of the computer as my knowledge is limited.  I have also noticed recently that I have installed Windows Mobility Center that has the power option. May - so that it affects the missing icon? I feel a bit silly to post this question but I've searched the forum and was unable to find the right answer to my problem... Can someone give me some other advice I could try... Thank you!!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones icons disappeared and the menu won't pull up.

    OK, so I have a 8310.  I left my phone in the car for a few days (maybe something could have been by pressing one of the buttons while he sat there?) and when I picked it up, all my icons had been activated around and nothing was located where it was when I used the latter.  Everything worked fine, just all of the application and the homescreen icons were all scrambled to the top.

    This is the case, a * beep *, I decided to try to move the icons and put them back where they belonged.  I was able to highlite an icon and move it, but when I tried to finish the move sit icon where I wanted, the icon would be to just move with the trackball and has refused to sit in one place and stay there.

    Then I get a call on my phone and everthing is now the country of Wonderland with Alice and the White Rabbit!  All my icons have left the home screen, and I can't pull up the menu screen.  The trackball seems to work very well.  The blackberry icon button (between the button ' to call ' green and the trackball) seems to work (when the screen is black, you can push it and the screen lights up) but when you press it, the menu won't pull up.

    I thought that maybe I hid all the icons somehow?  I'm just confused on this one.  All the information at the top of the screen is still there.  Time, date, signal strength, network and all my message alert icons are visible.  I use the image as background is under the eyes, just all the icons disappeared and I can still shoot to the top of the menu to fix.

    1. press the Menu key and click SHOW EVERYTHING, as well as show that everything is checked.

    Now look around and see if you the icons. If this menu button still does not work...

    2 perform a reboot of the device: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    A little luck?

    3. If still nothing, try to go to the Options icon if you can find and choose themes and change the themes... now all the icons?

    If you can't find the Options icon, press the green line to enter the call log.

    Press the Menu key > Options > General and make Options scroll down with a line to the home screen and the value to no.

    Now, go back to the home screen of the BlackBerry and press O (oh), alpha to zero. Who will pull up in your Options menu now

    • Hello

  • Icons disappear and tools/system control panels does not open.

    I have vista running on my laptop (not sure what version because I can't open anything).  Yesterday my icons disappeared and I can't open anything in the control panel or the system tools.  An update installed yesterday, but I don't know what it was.  It is relatively a new laptop.  I just bought this one when my old laptop (also Vista) did the same thing.  I tried the system restore, but I can't open that either.  I'm quite proficient with computers then give me your suggestions - advanced or not.

    If you cannot use the system restore, try this disk to use system restore.

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Hello

    There is no way sure of 100% to prevent it from happening again, and we don't really know the cause.
    A glitch like this is sometimes due to an update (Windows, the utility of the Antivirus system manufacturer, or)
    another program) and the cure is just another reboot, as it was this time. Although the actual cause is
    still unknown.

    Good for backups of your data, switch off the machine, and follow these steps.

  • Why my favorites icon disappeared and why my bookmarks menu suddenly on the left side?

    Recently, Firefox updated to 23.0.1 (beta?) and once the browser upward, I noticed that my bookmark icon (the star) had disappeared. I solved the problem easily by assigning up to where it was originally. Now my problem is that when I click the icon, my menu appears on the left side of the screen rather than the right as he did previously, before the update. I went down to 22 and it does not solve the problem. I really want the menu to return to the right side, as the left just frustrates me. I have not found no quick fix in the menu customization, or in safe mode. Can someone help me?

    There are two buttons of almost identical bookmarks, one for the bookmarks bar and one for the Menu bookmarks (which drops down), which has a "circumflex accent" / arrow & text bookmarks when it moves out of the Palette to customize.

    You have the wrong button.
