Hello

1. don't you make changes to your computer before the problem?

I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.

Step 1:

Test the issue in safe mode.

Start your computer in safe mode

Step 2:

If it works fine in safe mode, there must be a third party software that is causing the problem to occur, this is why I suggest you put your computer in a clean boot state.

    Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
    It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
    side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
    where you want it. Don't forget to click inside it, not on the edge.
    by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.

    Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
    on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
    use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.

    My high school daughter years showed me his homework in WORD was starting to show different symbols flashing all the time on the page. I suggested she reboot Satellite P300 - 01, and since then, we have not been able to go beyond the base of office.
    The Start button (or office) flashes continuously and we cannot enter in all programs at all.
    I'm very grateful for any assistance.

    The P300 is only 2 months old.

    Hello

    Believe me, it is really not easy to say what is happening with this laptop. as a first step, you can try to start Notepad using F8 and enter safe mode.

    If these will be works, start System Restore utility and attempt to restore the operating system on time earlier. Perhaps one day before all this began. I hope that you will be able to use it again as before.

    If this isn't the case, please let us know.

  • Problems with the 'start' button and the size of the video in the program monitor

    I was on TSF phone Adobe Help for about 3 1/2 hours today.  The problem is that the video in the program monitor doesn't fit - even when I checked it to 'fit '.  I have a mac - totally up top date, and film imported from my canon 7 d, I turned to 1280 x 720.  When I created a new project with the same, the image in the program monitor is too big.  When I create a new project in 1280 X 1080 image is too small - even when I click on 'adjust '.  Also, sometimes the play button doesn't work everything simply.  Help, they managed to get rid of my twice - preferences to no help at all, "clean up" my hard drive and the problems still continue.  They then tell me in order for me to go to the second layer, I want to buy a contract.  Can someone help me! Lose my mind! Thank you.

  • Automatic play button and the game will not work for videos

    I'm reading a video (the Web site supports .webm, .ogv, mp4), but neither autoplay, or the Start button seems to work. However, if I slide the button to the right (+/-40 sec) play video.

    I tried a lot of solutions suggested in other threads (potential disabling conflicting plugins, reset Firefox, etc.) but none of them work.

    What Miss me?

    The problem has an easy solution: changing the order of the videos, first list the source .mp4 and according to the source made .webm video running under Firefox, explore and Chrome.

  • After the last update of FF13, I double click on the bookmark button and the window does not open, so I can edit.

    When I double click the bookmark (star) button a window still down so I can change the bookmark or place it in the folder I want. Now, after the last update of FF13 (June 2012), I can click once and the page is a bookmark in the "home" folder, but when I double click nothing happens. (1) I restarted FF, did not help 2) I rebooted the computer, did not help.

    You just click on the star once if the star is high already turned on to indicate that a site is bookmarked. Normally, you would click once to bookmark the current site, then click once, if you want to change the new bookmark. If you double-click and you open and close the pop-up edition.

    After you enable hardware acceleration can cause problem with edit op - up doesn't work does not correctly, so in case of problems, you can disable hardware acceleration.

  • Error D3D error fatal - in GTA IV and the game does not run.

    Hello

    GTA iv will not work. I get the fatal error message, the error D3D.

    I contacted Rockstar and they advised to update .NET 3.5 and install installation web dx.

    Please let know us if I really need to do those things that I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I would have thought that the latest Dotnet is already in the operating system.

    Finally, where can I find which version of Dotnet I. It does not appear in the list of programs.

    Thank you very much

    roystont5038.

    They are probably right.

    It seems that many times some games refer to pieces of DX9-coding, which somehow is not recognized, thus generating errors.
    It can't hurt to install .NET 3.5 and (re-) install DirectX, I found a lot of (mostly older games however) the issues have been resolved by installing DX9.0c.
    No idea why. but seems to be a magical charm :)
  • Two identical servers and the other is not supported

    I have pretty old xseries336 with Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz server. During installation it is said that he needs CPU 64 bit with LAHF and SAHF support.

    I understand that, because it is very old CPU, and I heard that esxi 5.0 needs support VT - x, which does not have this CPU.

    However, I second the same server with the same processor and BIOS version on which I have installed ESXi 5.0 without any problem at all.

    I can confirm it works on Xseries336 with Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz. (also attached) Screenshot:

    http://ImageShack.us/f/820/esx5.jpg/

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what might or what might be the difference between two supposedly identical servers?

    Is it possible to fix this?

    I just updated the system with UpdateXpress tool and still no luck.

    According to the update of the Intel specification, it is possible for the BIOS to provide a fix for this erratum.  However, I guess that UpdateXpress will have flashed the latest BIOS.  Unfortunately, there is no software workaround solution in ESXi 5.0 for this situation.

  • Start button on the taskbar, while opening with the mouse, but works using the touch screen does not

    Windows icon on the taskbar does not bring up start page using the mouse, but will Touch. Clickable after the restart, but only for a couple of times?

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community. I understand that start button on the taskbar does not not at the opening with the mouse, it works but when touch use. I've surely you will help solve this problem.

    To better understand the issue, I would need more information on your side.

    1. The problem occurs when you use another mouse?
    2. What is the number and the model of the computer and the mouse?
    3. Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

    This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

    1. Missing updates of Windows and the device driver updates.
    2. Conflict between third-party applications.
    3. Corrupt system files.

    Try the steps listed here and see if it helps:

    Method 1:

    If the problem does not occur when you use another mouse, I suggest you to download and install all Windows Update available including optional updates. You can also install the last mouse driver\Software from mouse manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Method 2:
    If the problem occurs when you use a different mouse, I suggest to start the computer using safe mode and check if the problem occurs or not. If this isn't the case, I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    Step 1:
    Start the computer in Mode safe. At the start of the computer Mode safe with the minimum set of drivers and files.

    Start settings for Windows (including safe mode)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/Windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:
    If the issue happen not in Mode without failure, perform a clean boot and check. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    Method 3:

    If the problem persists, I suggest you perform the Scan SFC (System File Checker) and check if it helps. SFC scan will search the system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.
