RE: Start menu seems to have changed to Classic view

Right click on the Start button > properties > click Start tab Menu > click on the dot to Start Menu > you should see a blue dot on the front now. Yes?
Click OK when finished.

RE: possible virus attack.

I think that your Norton had done his job.
But, if you want additional coverage, suggest you download and install malwarebytes.

http://en.kioskea.NET/Download/Download-105-Malwarebytes-anti-malware

Once installed, open malwarebytes > it will prompt you to update. Click Yes and let it update. If it's not hum update you, click Update and make an update > click Scan > click perform complete scan > it will take a while > it will give you a report summary at the end.

  • Sound problems on computer, cannot change the sound settings

    I had a long-standing problem in the audio settings of the Control Panel on Windows 7 where I can't change settings, configure anything or especially toggle of the devices. The options are there, but they have no effect when selected. Recently, I tried to connect my laptop to a TV, and as I could not set as the default audio device, I finally decided to try to fix things. I deleted and reinstalled the software Realtek my laptop and everything he has done is completely turn off my speakers, and all attempts to reactivate failed them. The unit displays in the control panel as a default active device, but claims of the taskbar that there are no speakers is connected, and if I click to set up the Realtek Audio, I have the same situation that before where absolutely nothing is happening.

    I tried troubleshooting sound problems, and all I get is the statement that an audio device is disabled, no attempt to fix or any option to enable. Apart from a system restore, that in general, I try to avoid, I feel that I have tried everything I can think of to fix this and only managed to make it worse. No help available would be appreciated to receive my laptop back to a functioning State.

    Model is a fickle Dell XPS L501X, if this is any help.

  • Cannot change the timeline view Speedgrade CC!

    I want to zoom in on the timeline to see my videos better.  I can't find a tool for this.  Help Adobe says: 'Select the master Timeline view in the view menu on the upper left side of the Timeline.' and then use a combination of wheel/ctrl to zoom.  Fine, except that the button I need to click (which is labeled "All") is either a or disable toggle.  The illustration accompanying on the help page shows it as a drop-down selector.

    Set the timeline view with the menu on the upper left side of the Timeline.


    Timeline view menu


    I don't have the combo on my version of Speedgrade CC.  I can either 'select all' (which highlights this blue) or clear (which he becomes gray).


    Does anyone have a solution?

    Deselect the button 'all '. Move your cursor on the timeline and everything by pressing the 'Alt', scrolling with the mouse to zoom in and out of the timeline.

  • Control Panel in Classic view

    How can I keep the control panel in the classic in Winodws Vista Ultimate display after I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled everything? He worked prior to cleaning, but do not now.

    Thank you. You put me on the right path. Here is the step by step instructions on how I made the change.

    Right click on start > properties > Start Menu tab (make sure that you have it on the Start Menu under the Start Menu tab and not the Classic Start Menu) > customize, then put a check mark in the display menu in Control Panel.
    This of course now has you in the Vista Start Menu, which I don't like. Although it is in the Vista Start Menu, go to control panel and make sure that it is in or change it by clicking on classic view on the left side of the screen to Classic view. Create a shortcut on your desktop for control panel that you have now changed to Classic view
    Change the Start Menu back to Classic view by clicking on Start > properties > Classic view > apply > OK.
    You can now drag the icon of the control panel from your desktop in Menu quick start at the bottom left of the screen or use your desktop and whenever you click on the Control Panel icon, it will come in Classic view.
    Thank you once again. This can be useful for others who are facing the same problem.

    Hi amcop4591,

    1. How is - that Mount you the drive on the computer?

    2 Di you use any third-party tool to mount the drive?

    I suggest that you remove the external drive using the disk management and check back later if you can change the permissions on the drive.

    If you change the permissions, make changes to the permissions on the drive and then mount the drive.

    Mount or dismount a drive

  • In windows media player, cannot change the album art view in the list of music icon.

    * - Original title - in windows media player, I can not change the album art view in the list of music icon...

    I recently deleted a lot of my music library, the Media Player (not while in the music folder in my library, but all using the MP). but now, in the classic view (and when I click on an album cover to view follow-up for an artist or album), it will only allow me see the tracks/albums with expanded tile or Details views we don't let me use the display of the icon; Indeed, this listening option is grayed out. I don't know what I did, but before that I deleted the music I could see the icon display in the library. Can I fix somehow?

    Here's how I put it in an e-mail to a friend, maybe the problem is clearer in this way:

    Very well - so the other night, I did a purge in my music folder, deleting a lot of tracks how much I did not listen. I was doing this WMP. Now, the default view in my WMP since always the view icon, with the great icons of the album covers next to the track. (large, compared to other views) But now, I can't get that discover more, not when I'm looking for the titles of music st - only when I look by Album, artist, Genre or year. In the opinion of music suddenly the only options I been authorized were expanded tile and details - icon option is grayed out and the purge he was not! I looked in the WMP folder in Program Files and there was a folder called icons; It was empty. I had never watched there before; so I don't know if this is normal or not. How can I fix it? I remove and reinstall WMP?

    Had the same problem and you probably already figured out the answer, but it's here... Media Player 12.

    HERE a THE FIX... go to the top near the top of the media player window and directly to the left of the search bar in the media player is a drop down for the choice of the view menu. It is somehow changed to "Détails" view in the mine... CHANGE "Expanded Tile" view and your icon appears again in the Middle as I had initially.  ;)

FWIW I currently have started 8 is installed on my laptop HP G60 - 447CL no touchscreen but disabled it all simply because I came to use and really like the new modern UI (aka metro) window.
