  • Menu bar of tasks and Windows Vista boot

    Yesterday I sat in front of my computer at work and I got a white screen.  I restarted my computer, and the only thing that popped up was my Documents box.  I still have all my files have and can access internet and other files, including the control panel but I have to perform every time that of the function CTRL + ALT + DELETE and to run explorer.exe to get my bar of tasks and the menu back start.

    What can I do to ensure that the taskbar and start menu appear each time that I reboot?  This just happened out of the blue.  Don't install any software.  Could we have a Windows update that changed that?  I tried to go back and restore one day last week, but that has not solved the problem.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I installed the latest update of Windows. All updates. However, I find myself with the yellow warning icon in the bar of tasks and install when closing down.

    Description of the problem: a few days ago I installed the latest update of Windows. All updates, or so I think by the Windows Update Web page telling me so. However I find myself with the yellow warning icon telling me the KB2729450 update is ready on my computer and needs installation. However, the web page says that it successfully installed. I see the update in Add/REMOVE programs. I've deleted and reinstalled but still have the icon telling me to install it. Even when you turn off the computer the message is for me to install, but I think that it has already installed successfully. How can I get rid of these warnings?
    Operating system: Windows XP

    Hi depreciated,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community!

    If I understand correctly, you receive a warning to install the update, even if it has already been installed. I'll try to help you the question.

    (1) did you make any changes before the show?

    The update that you are warned with seems to be question of the .net framework. I have you provided the link that will repair your .net framework.

    Microsoft .NET Framework repair tool

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=30135

    Note: after using the .net Framework cleanup tool, please install all .net Framework components.

    Let us know the status of the issue. I will be happy to provide you with the additional options that you can use to get the problem resolved.

  • How doI recover lost Manager menu bar tabs tasks and data use

    Some how I lost the menu bar and tabs and impossible to get processes, CPU use and commit chgs.

    checked to increase the resolution to increase (maximize) visibility without change.

    Anyone got a clue?  Thank you

    If you don't see the tabs in the Task Manager, then that means it works in 'tiny footprint mode' (sometimes referred to as 'Kiosk mode' or 'format') which does not show the legs or the menus above. This mode exists mainly for advanced users who want to put a small CPU counter in the corner of the screen using the performance tab. Sometimes this happens accidentally if you open and use the task manager often. To return to normal mode, open the Task Manager and double-click anywhere in the area of border (open) to reveal the tabs.

    See screenshot here.

  • Can I return to 38.0.1 2.0.0.24? Toolbars take too much space: subject bar not minimizable and attachments are a separate tool bar rather than online.

    The massive 38 version of space around the titles and toolbars; the "subject" bar takes the massive space and is therefore no longer minimizable and attachments display in a new toolbar background rather than in the bar as to, subject and SIZE.

    This makes useful reading the text or a very small image. See the image on 2 different screenshots.

    Thanks, Eddie V

    THANK YOU, WAYNE. This addon got the + and - back themed bar releasing much needed content space.

    It leaves the 'bar fixing' at the bottom that is just a minor inconvenience, takes little vertical space. In the old system, it was just an element in the list of properties for incoming e-mail.

    Once again, thank you very much for your excellent help. Best for you, Eddie

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: Help: I changed the cartridges and they are locked (JO 6800)

    I had a few problems print quality with my OfficeJet Pro 8600 and I changed the ink cartridges (950/951XL). Unfortunately, the problems are remained so, instead of buying a new printer head, I bought a new printer: a 6015 OfficeJet at Staples. First of all, I had to install the set up of the cartridges but pass them the old printer, which I had already brought to the depot of garbage to new XL versions. And guess what? The cartridges were locked! Now, I have to remove the locks in the old broken printer (what is left) or I can throw them-which is a shame because I bought the new 8615 especaially because it uses the same (expensive) XL cartridges. Please HP: help me. A loyal customer.

    Any cartridge that is installed in your Officejet Pro 8600 would not be usable in another printer, including a different of Officejet Pro 8600 8600 Pro Officejet "cartridge protection" was defined.  This cannot be reset, even in the original printer.  Turning off the cartridge of the printer's built-in web server protection will not affect future cartridges installed in the machine.

    Given the circumstances, I suggest call HP and ask if they can help to.  If they decline please post here and I'll see if I can help with a different approach.

    You can disable the protection of the cartridge in your Pro Officejet 8615 for the future.
