• After you restore rundll32.exe, I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared

  Every thing seems to have returned to normal, but when I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared, and yet, all programs are always in: Control Panel > add/REMOVE programs.   I can still connect to the internet by going to-Start > my computer > view > go to the desktop. How to get back all the icons on my desktop. I tried a click right, but in vain. I also ran a scan complete antivirus. any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

• Missing notification icon for wireless keyboard and mouse in the systray area.

  Missing notification icon for wireless keyboard and mouse in the systray area. Was working before the hard disk crash. Had to reload Windows Vista 64 bit OS. Have computer model gateway GT5678.

  Chances are good the software to include these icons in notification tray cam pre-installed on the bridge.  If you still all original gateway software, try to see if something in the menu start / all programs of the gateway seems as it can contain controls for these settings and run the program to check and see if it does.  If none of the gateway software help (assuming that all this is still installed) and re-installing the drivers did not work and there is no controls at the keyboard or the mouse, so I know what else to think.  These icons are not available with Vista - they were installed by a third-party device or software driver.

  I'm sorry that gateway could not help you.  They are those that you need to do to solve this problem, because it is something that they installed with the original computer which is not re-installled after you change hard drives.  They should know what software for it and power point yoo to a download site, or you send a disk with this software.  We can't really do anything else to help you.

  Good luck!

• Everything on the left side of the screen disappeared and all programs will not recover as malware has infected my computer

  Original title: I was struck with Mal-Ware. Everything on the left side of the screen disappeared and all programs. Does not restore. Everything is still there, but can't find it. How can I get that back?

  When I go to help and support, I've seen where it will take me to something in Office 2007 even if you ask the computer to find or search, he says that's not there.

  Hi windy-54,
   
  -What do you mean when you say "everything on the left side of the screen disappeared and all programs not recover"? Does this mean you "Start" menu is empty?
  -What is the exact error that you receive while you are trying to search for programs on the computer?
   
  Write us with more information pertaining to the matter to help us help you better. Meanwhile, scan your computer to clean the virus or malware that touched it.
   
  You can use the Microsoft security scanner to do the same.
  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• missing desktop icons and reappear at the start?

  I have a desktop PC with i7 and 16 GB. It runs on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Whenever I start my PC, all the desktop icons appear normally and quickly at the beginning. Then at the end of the initialization, all the desktop icons would change the folder symbols of gray before returning to their normal color symbols, one or both. The PC works fine otherwise. So, what's up with that?

  When google, many seem to have a similar problem, but none offer a REAL solution. Care to help? Please provide only the answers that have been soundproofed/accepted as a solution to the problem.

  Hello

  It is regrettable that the steps in my previous post did not help to solve the problem. This problem could occur due to the corruption of the file system or damaged user account.

  Please follow the steps mentioned below:

  Method 1: run (SFC Scan) System File Checker because this could be a problem with corruption in the Windows system files. System File Checker is a Microsoft Windows utility that allows users to search for and restore corruptions in Windows system files. Consult the following link;

  Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  I have been have been analysis regularly without incident since July, when I bought this all-in-one.

  Yesterday between the work I did, I went to use the scanner and the options to choose to scan in the desktop options disappeared. I can still scan your computer with the scanner itself, but the options to do it from the top of the Office are not in desktop icon more.

  I tried to remove and reinstall the prnter, but that did not work.

  Any ideas?

  Then go to control Panl > programs and features > uninstall a program and remove reminders of the software (HP Customer Participation, Read Iris OCR, etc.).

• Missing desktop icons, system restore only a temporary fix

  Hi all, hope someone can help.  The shortcut on my desktop icons disappeared over the weekend.  Ran a system restore and they returned with the exception of the trash to recycle, thought that I could live with that.  After a time I keep the laptop, returned the next day and they all went again.  Ran to an older date system restore, they came back, but when I re - start they're all going again.  Checked the box 'show desktop' and it works in the bar side and summer menu control panel "taskbar and start to" all the boxes checked.  Have tried to re - define shortcuts, process works very well but the system usually show them.  Interestingly, the laptop starts, icons flash me momentarily, but don't show in fact once the system is clean awake.

  Ideas please
  Thank you
