Cannot use the Start button

For some reason, when I try to click on the Start button, it disappears.  I tried all day to dissable addons that sort, but it ended up doing another way.  I have restarted computor, but the Start button, always goes away until I can click on it.  Everyone comes through this before please?

Hello BeverleyMacKenzie,

Thank you for the question!

I'm sorry to know that have problems you with start button. As I understand it, you cannot use the button start effectively.

Method 1: perform the scan SFC (System File Checker) and see if the problem occurs.

How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

Method 2: use the Microsoft Safety Scanner in full scan mode and to remove all the threats that is not detected by it and see if the problem persists.

  • Cannot use the back button on the Web PDF pages

    I Windows 7, Internet Explorer (IE) 11 and Adobe Reader DC, all day. Whenever I go to a PDF Web page by clicking on a link in the Google search results and then want to return to the search results page by clicking the back button on the browser, it will not go back. Page PDF just charging once again. This does not occur when I use my browser Google Chrome, when I use IE. It happens with every page PDF that I access from the Google search on Internet Explorer. What can I do to be able to use the back button on the Web PDF page?

    Google made a diversion when you click on a search result. You can see if you right click on a such result and select Copy link location, and then paste. Is not the real address - the web site, but a link to a page of Google.com. So when you click on back after going to her, you can end up on the same redirect page, which automatically will then take you to its destination... Some browsers can handle this better than others, but it is not related to the PDF file you open.

  • Satellite A300 and WIn7 - cannot use the media buttons

    I have laptop Satellite A300.

    Recently, I have reinstalled my Windows 7 Pro x 64 using the update (not clean install) option. So I kept my program and settings. But in the player Panel multimedia (or whatever it's called) that allows me to play, stop the music, changing songs etc does not work completely. I can't use 2 "buttons": one that allows me to toggle the highlighting and the other who turns on the media player.
    I need their work. I got tired of Toshiba button support, but I don't know what to do here.

    Hello

    You need to install is Toshiba Value added Package. I use Win7 on my A300 and all buttons work perfectly. But I use the 32-bit version.
    I put t know if your A300 is supported for Win7 64 bit, but you can try to use THIS version.

    Before you begin installation remove old version, if exist, restart the laptop and install this version.

    I hope this will help you.

  • Cannot use the touch buttons on laptop

    I have a Pavilion dv6 computer with windows 7 and all recently, tactile buttons (button wifi, mute button and volume slider) are not on.  I can't use them at all.  I had this problem a few years back and it turns out to be a hardware problem, but I was also able to resolve the problem by resetting the bios.  Problem is that I forgot how to do this.  Someone has suggestions on this problem and is there anyone who can tell me how to reset the bios?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Do a hard reset:

    1 disconnect all devices and remove all USB devices and multimedia cards.

    2 disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery and then press in and hold the button for at least 1 minute.

    3 reconnect the power adapter (do not connect the battery), press the power button and check is your problem is resolved or not.

  • Cannot use the FN button for volume up/down/mute - Satellite Pro L100

    Hello

    When I was cleaning up my PC, I removed the programs with the Add/Remove Programs utillity.

    I accidentally deleted somekind of its driver. Now, I'm not able to use the fn for its control.

    I am not able to use FN - UP to volume high, FN-DOWN to lower the volume or FN - ESC to mute more.
    I tried the system restore, but this does not solve the problem.

    I tried to install the audio driver from the toshiba Web site, it has not helped either.

    Is anyone now how I can solve this problem and make the FN-UP/DOWN/ESC for volume control still works?

    Thank you.

    Great!

    Thanks for the comments.

  • Cannot use the fx button to disable the effects.

    I can't use this button as the box is not there and I added some effects I just composed it before.

    Screen shot 2011-12-29 at 19.57.50.png

    I think that you will get a lot of benefit to visit this page.  With After Effects, you must start at the beginning or endure unnecessary hours (or more!) of frustration.

    To answer your question directly, you do NOT apply an effect.  There is no indication of an effect in the column of fx switches Panel, which is visible in your screenshot.

    Do yourself a favor: don't try to learn AE intuitively, or by following some tutorials designed to teach one thing of OWL.  Go through the basics.  You will regret if you do so, you should right now for AE your beginners mistake.

  • Cannot use the option button to access the folder of bookmarks hidden on a dead drive

    I'm on Mac OSX 10.7.5, and I can easily access the folder on my current drive by pressing the option key (so that the hidden library appears) then get bookmarks of otherwise hidden files (since it's my new boot drive)

    BUT

    I need to copy / move my LAST favorites since ten days previously, a dead hard drive. The drive is usable, just not able to start.

    BUT

    Since this amazing new 'hold option on GO in the Finder menu to see the invisible library feature' (sarcasm) requires your operating system to be started, I can't access the bookmarks folder in the library. How can I do this if the Finder is not started on the dying drive? Is - this make any sense?

    Check this?

  • Task Bar frozen without access to the Start button.

    I recently made an update to the driver on a Thinkpad W7 Pro running. After the final reboot, the taskbar is frozen and I can't left or right click on the task bar icons. I tried a reboot to safe mode, but the taskbar is frozen in this mode as well. Most of the listed solutions run in the Forum need by using the Start button to access the menu or command. What can I do if the only thing I can do now is to run the program icons on my desktop?

    You are welcome.
