Cannot access anything in the Start Menu.

Original title: problems with Start Menu...

Can Hi anyone help here please... I can access is more things in my Start menu, Control Panel, My Documents. My photos, my computer etc, etc, all died in the start menu. Whenever I click to open these things I just continue to get an error report, I scanned for virus etc but the sweep came clean... Thank you... Jon T.

Oh heck - here's what I'd do:

When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and XP stops threatening program.  XP should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

Click on the header of column called Microsoft to sort display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' since they are not Microsoft extensions.

Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.

You can Google something like:

Explorer XP crashing

You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, and then restart and try again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

    Well Yes, you are quite right on site!

    Asymmetric routing is not supported on the firewall, such as trafficking and out should be via the interfaces of same, in the contrary case, it think it's an attack and drop the package.

    Default gateway on the subnet devices IPOffice should be the interface IPOffice ASA (192.168.42.254), not the switch, if it is a switch shared with your home network. Similarly for devices inside subnet, default gateway must be ASA 192.168.43.254.

    In regards to the switch, you can get a default gateway or the ASA inside or IP interface IPOffice ASA and the needs of return traffic to route through the same path

  • Add a program installed in the Start Menu

    The Kindle for PC application appears pinned at the top of the Start Menu, but not in the menu below.

    I would like to "unpin" it but want to be able to access it from the Start Menu.

    The help file is no help.

    Sorry, there is a misunderstanding: you can put a program in the menu all programs.  I thought that you wanted to put in the box above that.

    If you want to put in the menu all programs, here's how:

    1. Click all programs and choose open
    2. Drag the icon into the folder that appears (as you say, it's like Windows 95/98)

    It should put there when the program is installed, but the Setup program takes this decision, some programs do not, others give the user a choice.

    For email alerts, can you check your profile page (here) and see if there is e-mail address listed correctly?

  • Cannot access the Start Menu - 6 Ultra

    I realize there are other threads on this problem but mine is a little diiferent.

    I just replaced memory in both my Ultra 6 s. The steps were:

    Ultra unit has

    Deletion of records

    New memory installed

    A run the memory test (past)

    Replacement discs

    Fact

    Ultra B

    Deletion of records

    New memory installed

    Could not access the Start Menu to run a memory test.

    Shared memory of unit A and B of the unit (with 'good' memory)

    Could not access the Boot Menu

    Blank placed in drive B and turned on.

    Could not access the Boot Menu

    Disk spent

    Has started doing a factory reset to unit B

    I pulled the plug when I saw "pending RAIDar.

    So it seems to B unit works fine except that I can't access the Start Menu.

    I guess that the reset button does not work on Unit B or is it possibly caused by something else?

    Here is my MAIN question:

    What should I expect when I put the original disks to unit B?

    I noticed that Studio B was assigned to a new IP address, so I'm a little unsure of what to expect.

    Ah, that could be just a bad reset button.

    Original title: how to get rid of a virus on windows xp proremove a virus from windows xp pro

    Hello

    1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

    4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

    www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

    Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

    Method 2: Safe mode with networking

     

    Step 1: Check if you can browse the Internet with success in Mode safe mode with networking.

    Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

     

    Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    Step 1: Follow the steps in the link below to do the same thing:

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as shown here:

    Step 2: To configure Windows to use a Normal startup state

    After you have used the boot is a way to solve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  • In Windows 7, after the application of SP1, I can no longer access my phone book from the start menu or use the search function.

    I just applied SP1.  Until I applied this update that everything worked as I expected.

    Since then, whenever I type anything in the search on the start menu, there is no result.  The only exception to this is that if I type in a full path, for example "C:\Program Files\", how I get a list of files in that directory.  If I type in everything that is not a path, as for example the letter p or the word 'paint', told me that "no element not corresponding to your research."

    If I click 'more results', I get an error with a big red x box.  The legend is "search query: = paint", for example if I searched for painting.  The text is "Windows cannot find ': search query = painting '.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I wasn't expecting this error box, but rather a window with a list of search results.
    I have downloaded and run the troubleshooter of research - Mats_Run.search.exe.  It tells me that no errors have been detected and gave me the option to reset the search.  I did this, then waited a whole day to search for re - index, but the results are the same.
    In addition, after reading a few other questions on the microsoft Web site, I've done different things which seem to as they should not work - I have turned me folder, active random registry settings options, etc..  Indeed, none of these things had an impact or shows something unusual.
    Also, I can access is no longer my home directory from the start menu.  If I click on my user name that appears in the upper right corner of the menu start, the start menu closes and nothing happens.
    There are a few other circumstances where I can't reach my directory.  For example, if I have an Explorer pointed toward a library, say "Downloads", if I click on my user name in the breadcrumb path, he will remain in the directory downloads instead of going to my home folder, as I expect.  Also, if I click on my user name in the Favorites list in the left pane of the Explorer, I would expect the Explorer window to access my home folder.  Instead, he remains in the folder where he currently resides.
    As I said earlier, before applying the update it worked as expected.
    Thanks a lot for your time!

    Uninstall everything except an antivirus/security program - runninng several versions (even just have installled) can cause all sorts of problems such as freezes, crashes, corruption and other things. Once done, see if the system works better.  Don't forget, most AV programs require a special and just removal tool cannot be uninstalled as other programs (or it does not work and leaves behind the remains that are causing problems).
     
    Let's see if that helps.
     
    Good luck!

  • How to access the start menu? F10 is ignored. ESC is ignored.

    I have a HPE175z running a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium.  I want to change the startup parameters.  When the system boots, the screen tells me that < F10 > give me access to the configuration.  F10 is completely ignored.  A message tells me later < ESC > will give me access to the Start Menu. < ESC > is also ignored.  Similarly, I have try all the keys are ignored - nothing interrupts the boot sequence.  How can I access the start menu?

    The problem is that no key during the boot stopped the boot process and allowing me to enter the installation or startup configuration.  I swapped keyboards and the problem disappeared.  Apparently, the keyboard did not have during the boot sequence.

    Thanks to all those who had a suggestion.

  • Cannot restore my laptop-"Repair my computer" not appearing is not in the start menu

    Once or twice in the past had to get my phone and it was an easy process thanks to the construction recovery option (computer repair) in the start menu (when you press F8 on the Toshiba screen), but now when I press F8 during the Toshiba screen and go to the boot options, there is no option to fix my computer. Fix my computer is usually the first option, but the first option is now "Start Windows in safe mode". Fix my computer disappeared! :(

    I think that the cause of my problem is that I started my laptop using my friend's windows startup disk when my computer would not start a month back. In fact, he got my laptop going again, but after starting my laptop, he told me that there is a problem with the start and he asked if I would like to repair and restart, I did. In addition, the windows startup disk, I used to start my laptop computer is a 64-bit version and my laptop has a 32-bit operating system. I don't know if that makes a difference.

    Could someone please help me by letting me know if there is anything I can do to get "Repair my computer" back. It is handy recover my computer when I want to just go back and get my laptop clocked in so it is better again.

    Short answer:
    There is nothing you can do about it except to include adjustments to plant again. I'm sorry. :(

  • ReadyNAS Duo v2 impossible to access the start menu

    Hello

    I am new in ReadyNAS, I bought this one for a long time but only used for a few days... I try to use again, I tried to upgrade the firwmare the/admin /, but surely a bug appear, because after restart-auto, I can not access the /admin/ with my own password or the default password factory.

    So, I am trying to go to the Start Menu to use that reinstalling the operating system. I & pressed the reset button, press the power button and wait... wait... wait... the 5 LEDs light up but that never happen :-(

    I have only 2 LEDs for disks (2 at the same time), and then a few seconds later, only the right one.

    Maybe I can try with a Boot USB Recovery but I can't find where to download (the search engine return nothing on the download page)

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi lakano,.

    Welcome to the community!

    Can you confirm the version of your ReadyNAS unit HW? It could have been labeled as ReadyNAS V2, but it could be a V1. Send me a PM with S/N so I can check.

    Kind regards

  • Cannot remove a program from the start menu icon

    Original title: icons in the Start Menu;. Cannot delete the program start menu icon to remove/uninstall, need help?

    S pie Menu icons; Ghost of icons

    I deleted a program and uninstalled completely, but the program icon always appears in the start menu.  I was not able to remove the icon. Right-clicking on the icon simply freezes the start menu for several minutes. I was able to remove from the desktop.

    I tried the Program Data > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > programs > but the icon.

    I had this problem before, but I just do not remember how I fixed it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Kevin, thanks for responding.

    The program was the Vuze, and I managed to get rid of the icon.  By a right click and do not move the mouse and wait 5 minutes eventualy box popped up and I was able to remove the icon from the start menu.

    The solution was a lot of patience.

    Please help us well!

    :)

    p.s. I ran various software cleaning, like glary utilities, ccleaner and reboot several times.

  • I can still access my Manager tasks, Shut Down, restart, sleep, and Hibernate options went on the Start Menu After uninstalling Secure browser review.

    I recently downloaded Secure browser review for a test in Spanish for a class.  I uninstalled the program successfully, however I still can't access my Manager tasks, Shut Down, restart, sleep and Hibernate options went on the Start Menu.  Finally, before taking the test, my computer is always locked.  This means that whenever he 'slept' that I have to enter a password or use my HP SimplePass of fingerprint to unlock.  Now, it does not require a password, or it is not locked.

    I don't think SEB is not completely uninstalled, or he changed the settings on my computer and I can't figure out how to change their return.  Help, please!
