Empty factory of startup and menu settings in the computer

My computer has a severe virus last week. The Virus has been eliminated by Microsoft technical support, but now I don't have a control panel in my menu. I don't have the option "run" in my Start menu. I can't do a disk cleanup or defragmentation.  pretty much lost all standard ' factory' settings provided with the computer!  My system tools folder is now empty, so I can't yet do a restore of the system on my computer to try to solve the problem! How can I do a system restore without access to my tools system or command "run"?

Hi Stacy,

1. what happens when you try to do cleaning or a disk defragmentation?

2. you receive messages or error codes?

a. right-click the ""Start " and click on 'Properties'."

b. in the taskbar and Start Menu of the properties window, click on "Start Menu" tab (if it is not already open) and then click on "Customize."

c. in the "Customize Start Menu", window click on the tab "Advanced".

d. in the section "Items on the start menu", choose 'display as a menu' under the ' control panel"option."

e. you can also check the option to run the command in "Customize Start Menu".

d. click apply then ok.

For more information, you can consult the following article:

Description of the Start Menu in Windows XP

If you get the option run on the start menu, then you can also run the following commands in the command run to see disk cleanup, defrag and system restore works or not.

Cleanmgr.exe (Disk Cleanup), dfrg.msc (disk defragment) and rstrui.exe (System Restore).

  • HP Photosmart 6510 series connects to the network and Internet, but not the computer.

    Hey all,.

    I have a desktop H8-1228 and 6510 e - printer.  I got both products at the same time.  I did the initial installation, and everything worked perfectly.  I was able to print of my HP Touchpad (the printer was on the floor and my Touchpad was down.).  Recently, I made a trip for two weeks.  I turned off the printer.  This seems to have been a mistake.  Now, he will only contact my network and Internet, but not the computer.  The Setup program keeps telling me that it is 'Impossible to find the printer' and that he wants me to check the IP address of the printer.  I did this many times by printing the HP's Configuration Page from the printer screen.  I also used Windows "Add a printer" without success.

    I have installed and uninstalled the software several times; every time that remove the icon of the printer and the Standard TCP/IP port in the "Devices and printers" section in Control Panel.  A few minutes earlier, I used Regedit to delete any reference to the series of HP Photosmart 6510 in the registry, believing that it could help my situation.  There can be no. :-(  I did the installation with the same problems that I had all the other times that I tried to install it.

    No help from you the printer experts will be greatly appreciated.  I'm not a novice as you can see.  This situation, however, launched my posterior. :-))

    Hi old_geekster,

    You may want to enable disable all startup programs in msconfig until you are able to access the Web integrated printer server. It seems that there is something in the communication with the printer's operating system blocking. It will most likely software firewall or security related.

    HP has designed a quick and easy tool that diagnoses and solves many problems of printing, scanning and connectivity: The HP Print and Scan doctor. HP recommend you to download and install Print and scan doctor no matter what time you need to solve a problem with your HP printer from the link below.

    I would like to know what are the errors you receive?

  • Switch Cisco 2960/3560 = > recovery password and default settings with the button Mode

    Hi Experts,

    I have some confusion with the button Mode with cisco 2960/3560 switches.

    I read on many forums and articles, but where things are not clear.

    a place given 3 seconds and somewhere is given 7 or 10 seconds.

    Qus1), what is the exact time to press/hold Mode button to perform two following tasks:

    A. password recovery (according to my knowledge 3 sec) good or bad?

    Configuration of the switch (start + run) would be safe

    After the recovery of password? Yes or no

    B. factory default (according to my knowledge 10 dry) good or bad?

    I'm afraid, because if I press mode button more than 3 seconds, then

    It will delete any configuration of cisco switch. Yes or no

    Qus2) I want to recover the catalyst 2960/3560 switch password without

    Start/run configuration to lose. That is my main concern.

    Please tell me how to do this, what will be the time keeping Mode buttom

    in a few seconds?

    Qus3) which means this line

    "If the password recovery mechanism is disabled in switch

    then you will lose all the config.

  • Yahoo email won't load and store settings in the OS x mail application

    I tried to mail yahoo mail OSX El Capitan. Using the Yahoo tab in the box menu for the establishment of new accounts I can get the drop-down list to enter my email address that is recognized by Yahoo saying welcome + the address just entered. I press next to enter my password it is accepted. seconds after the drop falls again ask for the e-mail address and the password again. This time, I get the loading wheel which runs forever. After going to the doctor of connection I find mail forgot all my e-mail address and yahoo settings. It doesn't let me manually as some of the input fields are eliminated. My web yahoo mail warns me that my iMac has connected twice to my yahoo account. I went back into the box selection of accounts once again, before other suppliers named and pressed (other) then I found a button with a blue representative logo email that I have lived the same as before proceeder. Guess what? It loaded perfectly! The only problem is that this article only gives me the apps. Mail and Notes.Nothing else is available. If the Yahoo logo button had loaded, I would also have other Contacts apps.like & calendars + two other institutions. How can I get the missing apps to work using the mail icon settings?

    Is this your first attempt using Yahoo! mail on Mac? I had some weird problems with my own Yahoo! account today, and I know that sometimes he just goes a bit wonky and correct itself on its own. Unfortunately, it's a big part of the reason I do not use my Yahoo! account more.

    Have you tried to manually configure the account as an IMAP account? Y at - it none of the settings of your Yahoo! account to restrict connections and others? You have two-step verification enabled for your account?
