• Windows 7 Excel and Word 2010 jump lists appear only not on the Start Menu

  Hello

  I would like to apologize if this is in the wrong section... I got here by looking at another thread, which ultimately does not solve my problem. I read the same solutions on dozens of different threads and not one has done something to help, so I thought I'd try to ask once again, indicating that I have tried and see if anyone has any other ideas!
  ... I also like to apologize if "jump list" is the wrong term. I mean, it is when I click on my Start Menu, and "Microsoft Word/Excel 2010" icon is the small arrow on the side right does not allow me to click everywhere for what files I recently consulted on Word. I have exactly the same problem in Excel 2010, but No problem at all for Powerpoint 2010 and it seems that programs such as Notepad and so forth are very well as well.
  What I did:
  1. right click on 'Taskbar', click 'Properties', select the "Start Menu" tab, under "Privacy", I checked the boxes ("Store and display recently opened programs in the start menu" and "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar").
  Make a right-click on 'Taskbar'-> properties-> select Menu-> customize-> items recent fact make it appear a list but less it is tab and not attached to the application (which is what I want to xD).
  My original problem was that the list of recent items for Word has not been updated and it was stuck on what he was about 3 months - which eventually prove needless after I lived my computer and deleted, renamed and moved a bunch of word documents! Unchecking the boxes got rid of the arrow completely, and when I checked hide them he refused to reappear for Word and Excel.
  2. I was at '% AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations' all files deleted from here and restarted my computer - ' 1b4dd67f29cb1962.automaticDestinations - ms' seem to be for the word, and I think that ' 3d961d1bb3da929c.automaticDestinations - ms' are to Excel. I have them I deleted, I moved it out of the folder, I renamed them, I sang for them, etc. etc. and every time it did not work.
  This seems to be a really popular solution that works for most of the time everybody... it does not work for me!
  I've also been to '% ' AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations and deleted everything from there.
  3. I checked that related to open different file extensions in Excel and Word programs are associated with Excel and Word. Everything seems to be strong in that Department.
  I use Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and fight with versions of Word and Excel 2010!
  Then... I don't think anyone has any other ideas?
  Thank you in advance!

  I emptied two recent used folders but did not work.   Then I fixed my office installation to add/remove programs in the control panel and that did the trick.  I have office 2007 and 2010 installed, but make sure that I only use 2010.  Will probably uninstall 2007.

  -What is the number of brand and model of the computer?

  Flip your keyboard and shake gently. This will remove any buildup of debris which may prevent the keys work properly. You can also use compressed air to remove dust from hard to reach under the keys areas.

  Method 1: Check with another keyboard.

  Try a different keyboard on your computer. If it works well when you connect a different keyboard, the issue may be with the keyboard.

• Active state does not not in the start menu

  Hello

  I'm trying to implement a simple menu of Bootstrap, it works fine except the active component does not work.  That means that when I loaded the page in a browser, I can click on the different links in my menu and the browser will take me there, but does not change the display 'Active'.  I use bootstrap.css, jquery - 1.11.2.min and bootstrap.js.  I even tried to make a new HTML page and a menu "bootstrap" fresh load in it - no luck.  I'm at my wit's end, so any help will be much appreciated.  Here is my code, HTML and CSS.

  <!-collect the nav links, forms, and other content to alternate->

  < div class = "navbar-collapse collapse" id = "defaultNavbar1" >

  < ul class = "navbar-nav nav" >

  < class li = "active" >

  < a href = "inside_page_1.html" > inside Page 1 < span class = 'sr-only' > (ongoing) </span > < /a >

  < /li >

  < li > < a href = "inside_page_2.html" > inside Page 2 < /a > < /li > ""

  < class li = "dropdown" > < a href = "#" class = "menu drop-down-turn" data-toggle = "dropdown" role = "button" aria-expanded = "false" > drop < span class = "circumflex accent" > < / span > < /a >

  < li > < a href = "#" > Action < /a > < /li >

  < li > < a href = "#" > another action < /a > < /li >

  < li > < a href = "#" > else here < /a > < /li >

  < class li = "divisor" > < /li >

  < li > < a href = "#" > link separate < /a > < /li >

  < class li = "divisor" > < /li >

  < li > < a href = "#" > a more separate link < /a > < /li >

  .NavBar - default .navbar-nav > .the > a: focus {}

  color: #00B 309;

  background-color: #FF0004;

  }

  It doesn't work if you manually change the location of the active class, the menu on each page.

  Or you can do it with pure CSS code

  Or do it with JQuery code.

• New SSD, computer sleeps is no longer via the start menu

  An unusual question came after switching to a Solid State Drive.  Before this problem did not exist.

  As it currently stands on that I can't put my computer on standby by clicking 'start' then 'sleep '.  However, I CAN put my computer to sleep by changing Power Options/edit Plan Settings/mis the computer in sleep: 1 min.
  Things I've tried:
  BIOS update, drivers etc. Vid card.
  Made sure the S3 has been enabled in the BIOS
  Unplug all external and USB devices
  Made sure that in the Advanced Options of the power that nothing was preventing the computer from sleep mode
  When I try to put my computer on standby menu start my screen turn off, and my wired mouse USB turns off lights.  Clicking in this semi State - sleep screens back on and the computer is ready for use.
  As I said, the only thing I changed was cloning of my HARD drive for an SSD, nothing else.
  System Spec: http://i.imgur.com/5Eb4d.jpg
  Thanks in advance and let me know if you need me to post any other relevant information.
  P.S. I worked on it for 3 hours and I use this forum as a last resort.

  Thanks for the suggestions, but I managed to solve it on my own.

  Here's what I did:
  1 Open command with administrator privileges prompt
  2. Type "powercfg.exe hibernate on" and press enter
  and that's all...
  I guess when I changed hard drives that sleep is lacking in a sort of hybrid sleep (fans and lights on), not the complete S3 state than I was used to.

• Why Lightroom auto-start on the computer in the market even if it is not in my Start menu (Windows7)?  Irritating!

  I just installed Lightroom5.

  Two gripes.

  First of all, it starts automatically on the system running even if it is not in the start menu.

  In the second place. It eats CPU and memory. I export 1 photo and its use went from 2.4 GB to 3.6 GB of memory. CPU 100%

  Any advice?

  First question-

  Check in your LR preferences - general tab > Import Options > "see the import dialog when a memory card is detected."

  If it is checked, then its possible that any device plugged in USB will start LR. Remove the control to try first.

  I'm not qualified to comment on the CPU usage.

• 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!

• 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.
