Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

Restore point:

Do the restore of the system in Safe Mode, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  • Equium A60-692 - cannot open the start menu and keyboard problem

    I have a problem starting my laptop A60-692 and I'm not near the points of service.

    When I push the power button the screen goes through its startup routine gives her marching band welcome charge to the top of my desk.
    But when I click on the start only the start window flashes for a split sec and remains standing. If I press the windows key on the keyboard I can then click on the start and the start window appears on the screen.

    However if I open a program like note book or internet explorer, the keyboard will not and only gives a Bell sound when I use the keyboard. If I click Start, then shut down and click on restart the laptop turns off and then restart everything works fine!

    It's very boring and tedious. I'struggled with this for a long time, although it was not like that when new.
    Everyone had the same problem or have any advice to give?
    I would be very grateful!

    Concerning

    Hello

    Believe me it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    I would like to know where the mouse you are using. Use you touch pad s notebook or external mouse?
    If you use the s key to laptop please disable it with FN + F9 and test with an external mouse only.

    What about the response of the keyboard? You can also try to test with external keyboard only. Only in this way you can see if this issue has something to do with the internal keyboard.
    Please do some testing to see if this issues can be related to defective portable equipment.

  • The start menu and taskbar does not appear.

    original title: the start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

    The start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

    You can try to leave Explorer yourself.  Here's how:

    1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
    2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type explorer.exe and press ENTER.  The taskbar and the desktop should appear.

    However, this is not a permanent solution.  My best advice to you would be to use the system restore to go back to one hour before the beginning of the question.  This restoration process takes about 2 minutes and will not lose one of your folders: it restores only the settings from the system to a point in time that you choose (you can 'come back' as little as a few hours or several weeks).

    To do a test, follow the steps below.  I guess that you are unable to reach the taskbar for the following steps:

    1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
    2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type rstrui.exe (this name is for 'restore user interface').  When you click OK, the system restore should start.
    3. Through the system restore program, you will choose a time to come back. When you have completed the program, your computer will restart with the settings at this time.

    Please let me know if it helps.

    When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

    When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

    If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties. The image should look like the attached picture (except that mine is in Danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it don't look like this, would you please describe the content or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File Type" - it must be 'program '. If this isn't the case, will have to focus on what could be the problem here.

    A bit off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit outdated (IE 6, where the current version is IE 8), so I highly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system up to date. Is it as a society (such as a thin client Terminal Server computer) system, this is not possible, and most likely, your system administrator will have to help you.

  • 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.

    Hello

    seems that something went wrong during installation when your spfile does not exist or is not readable or corrupted somehow.
    You should check your Setup for error logs, starting with cloneDBCreation.log in C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\log on your machine. This is where the creation of the spfile might be connected.

  • JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

    My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

    Hi, landonblaine:

    When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

    Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

    Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

    Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience
