Cannot find the Start button

I just got a new compute66r with Windows 7.  My old computer has windows 7 and the Start button was clearly visible.   I can't find no start button in the status bar or anywhere else.  No idea what happened?

Heh - I looked the book that came with the computer and it is indeed Windows 8.  Windows key + X gave me, what I wanted and was told that it is Windows 8.

Thank you

Tom

  • Cannot find the fade button on imovie 10.1.2

    I am trying to edit audio from a movie that I have a number of different clips - in a previous version of imovie, I could clearly edit the clip and choose the amount of time I wanted a clip to fail to make a good transition in the next video and not just abruptly stopping a song to start a new song. In Imovie 10.1.2 it says to place the pointer on the audio clip in the timeline to drag the gradient bar to choose where start fade out - I did it several times and I have not seen the gray fade bar that displays the section help - I tried to edit the clip and all I managed to do so is less than the volume of a section of the element that appears suddenly as well. How am I able to just melted out of a song?

    Hi, Estephanie289,

    Time line, when you place the cursor on an audio clip little "handles" should appear on the right and left of the clip edges.   By dragging the handles toward the Center causes a fade in or fade.  To display the handles, you need to have 'waveforms show' selected in the dialog box that appears when you click the button settings in the middle right on your screen.

    I hope this helps.

  • Hello, I am using Firefox for Android on Nook HD +. Cannot find the home button to set up the home screen.

    I want to be able to start with and go back to the home screen, but I did not because I can create one using the button on the home screen. Please help, thanks, Tony.

    If you want a search engine to be your "home page" when you open Firefox, you should always keep your favorite search engine on an open tab, like www.google.com . You will need to do some work to keep it open, as ensuring that this search engine was the last tab that you had open before leaving Firefox. Now, go to Settings - customize - tabs - and make sure it is set to "always restore." Now, if you open tabs before you quit Firefox you do not close, the last of them opens and can technically be your "homepage". Now you can open your e-mail login page too, as long as it was under the tabs open in firefox. Hope this helps some!

  • Cannot find the activation button in PhotoShop

    Hi ProSam,.

    If you can return to the gear icon on the right side of the window drop-down of the ACC, you will see an option called account management. From there, you will need to sign in with your Adobe ID and Adobe PW. (for one thing that can help right there on the possibility that you had entered inadvertently hurt a at some point.)

    If filling that does not solve your problem, continue on in and make sure that no other elements contained therein are also filled correctly.

    Finally, FWIW, you have the right to worry, but with 6 days left you a reasonable amount of time to solve this problem. In other words, it's time to worry, but not yet panic.

    Let us know if this helps or not, and thank YOU to be patient, that we try to help you solve this problem. Meanwhile, do something great with Photoshop!
