• Windows flashes when scrolling on in the task bar, Alt - Tab does not.

  OK it drives me absolutely crazy. for these past few weeks, my taskbar and alt - tab has been broken. When I move the taskbar of the program im trying to open just blinks but never actually maximizes.  I noticed that it only flashes I have my cursor over the icon. But if I leave it right on it to open its own it never made. Alt - Tab is also the exact same thing (which makes me assume that the question is related.) I click on buttons and pop-up windows, but does not open anything.

  I looked around and I know that this question emerged with a reliablitiy of windows there are few up-to-date kb977074, but wasn't in my update list. SO I now have no idea what to do. Ive played around with the parameters monitored for defective or damaged files, and really, I don't want to have to do a system restore. especially since ive restored my computer and he was doing it before I updated. so... ideas would be very appreciated.

  Thanks in advance :)

  Hello

  Welcome to Microsoft Community forum.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. You have installed all the programs, application or updated before the show?
  2. How did you check the defective or damaged your system files?
  3. Do you receive an error message or error code while using the taskbar?

  Try it out below mentioned methods and see if it works for you.

  Method 1

  Try to perform a full scan of your computer using Security Microsoft Scanner.

   

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

   

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 2

  If the problem persists, I suggest to check the integrity of the system and for this you may need to run the SFC (System File Checker).

  Scan SFC will be scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer, the information required and the result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  Thank you.

• How to recover windows files option tool and activate the Task Manager?

  I used windows xp, Service Pack 3... I can't use the tool option records because it is not displayed in the Tools menu and option when I press ctrl + alt + delete, then said the task manager has been disable by your administrator... and my standard buttons search option does not work...

  It's a shame that we know so little on your system, windows xp, Service Pack 3...

  This is because the forums MS Answers does not prompt for information, when a new question is asked.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Your system has or has had a malware infection.

  Whatever not specified antivirus/antimalware software or you use requests have failed to protect your system.  Remember to replace or supplement / them.

  I would follow this diet to relieve your symptoms, immediate and then followed with some free and respectable malware scanners.

  Both scanners by operating clean, it would be time to fix any problems.

  Part 1:

  If you see things like this:

  You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
  The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
  System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
  The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
  The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
  The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
  The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
  The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
  The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

  If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  Open Notepad to create a new text file:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  notebook

  Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

  Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file.

  "NoClose" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoSetTaskbar" = -.

  Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

  enableit.reg

  After you save the file, close Notepad.

  Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

  Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

  Reboot your system and test.

  You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

  If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

  Hi markehrmann,

  I'll try from Firefox Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.

• Window will not be aligned on the menu bar in El Capitan

  Finally made the switch to El Capitan, and I found a very annoying cosmetic problem.

  My windows don't line up with the menu bar and show a thin my bottom line between the window and the menu bar. As my background is white with a repeated image, it irks me.

  

  It is the bar of menus with the window below.

  

  It is as high as it allows me to put the window.

  I tried to reset my computer. I was wondering if it was just google Chrome, but it happens with all application windows. Record: I use a model of Macbook Pro retina 15 inch, early 2013 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. I have 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. There are 251 GB flash with 96,18 GB of free memory.

  I used to be able to align windows with the menu bar. It's embarrassing for me and let me know how to solve this problem. Thank you.

  Well, I don't know what happened, but now it is well aligned. I did not anything special for my computer. Very strange. I hope that no one else had this problem because I don't know how it was fixed.

• "print key" on the windows live photo gallery is hidden by the task bar, so I can't select it. How I choose it?

  "print key" on the windows live photo gallery is hidden by the task bar, so I can't select it.  How I choose it?

  Resize your window by clicking Restore button (or the - and the X in the upper right corner of the window) and drag the window to the where you can see the "print" key.  You can also minimize the window and drag it around.

  Another thing you can do is to hold the CTRL key and press the letter P.  It still works.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Not maximizing the task bar when you click on Windows Explorer

  When I place the mouse on the icon of the program in the taskbar Windows Explorer the small preview window/s is displayed but will not maximize in a large window.  When I click on it or right click "optimize" on the spotted, that nothing is happening.

  In fact, probably we maximize or restore, but off the screen where you can not see.  This happened to me sometimes as well.

  Try this:

  1. hold SHIFT key and right-click on the icon in the task bar (or right click on the preview you did).
  2. choose the entrance to restore if it is not gray.
  3 hold down the SHIFT key and click again on the icon in the taskbar.
  4. now, choose the entry of moving.
  5. without doing anything else, press one of the arrow keys (for example, the arrow on the left) of the keyboard.
  6. without anything click, move the mouse.  Your window should appear on the screen.
  7. click on the mouse to move the window, then you can resize or other to be where you want.

  I suspect that this is a problem in several screen of Windows 7 support, and that the window actually believes that it is off on another monitor, even if you have no other active monitor.

  My OS is Windows 7. Taskbar do not respond, I don't know how to do - please help. Thank you.

  Thank you for your response and your concern. This problem with the taskbar, likely cause the updates of Windows - about 136 updates. So I restored the system to the previous point, and the task bar has been set. I have installed all Windows updates gradually - 5-7 at the time, not all in fact 136 at the same time and all seems ok now. Thank you for all your advice and recommendations.

• Everytime I open a new firefox window, a new tab opens with the new window. How do I stop this?

  Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.

  It's quite strange!

• Under Windows, don't enter anything in the address bar

  I am running Windows and for some reason any this morning I can no longer move anything the text typed in the address bar. Pressing Enter, clicking the button arrow or using Paste & go do not work. I see other users have had this same problem but I do not see a solution for my exact configuration. I use 39.0 and on Windows 7 Professional SP1.

  Sorry, what do you mean by "delete files"?

  Due to the change how Firefox 39 associate keywords to bookmarks and history, the address bar is newly sensitive to corruption in the database that stores your history and bookmarks (the places.sqlite file). I think that's probably the bug you saw in other threads.

  The developers are working on a solution, but that could take weeks to reach you.

  At this point, the best solution is to delete/rename the places.sqlite file, but then you lose all your history, if this really isn't very attractive to people who rely on history to revisit the sites.

  In case you want to try this:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename places.sqlite to something like oldplaces.sqlite.

  Firefox creates temporary files related to places.sqlite and those should be renamed / remove as well. Check for places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal and rename or delete them as well.

  When you start Firefox back up again, he should start a new database places.sqlite and import your last backup automatic bookmark. Can you confirm that all your bookmarks are present? The address bar works normally again?

  Hi cthodges

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

  I would like to ask you a few questions to help focus in the right direction:

  Are there other specific details that you can provide that will help us understand and solve your problem?

  We can try a few steps and check if it works:

  Run explorer.exe from the Task Manager > new > task. If the start menu reappears, it would confirm the cause.

  We can now perform the following steps:

  Step 1:

  Run an on-line analysis of your PC of malicious software:

  c. when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in the bottom, select the installation that you want to start and then press ENTER.

  If it works fine in safe mode, infer you that all third-party programs are causing the problem.

  Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)

• Toolbars Windows stuck to the task bar?

  From: pk_hunter

  I've recently upgraded to Vista after using XP home to a good number of years, and one of the things I had on my XP system was a toolbar on the side of my screen, as shown in this photo of the Office:

  http://Hunter.weebitmagic.com/images/0adesktop_soundtrack2.jpg

  I wish to get the same configuration of toolbar on my Vista machine and would therefore make the same way I did on XP. I made a new folder, the top hand named "sidebar1_games" and placed a few shortcuts in it. I then click with the right button on my taskbar, entered in the submenu of the toolbar and click on "new toolbar." After selecting the folder, this seemed to work fine except for a fundimental issue:

  The new toolbar appears to stick in my taskbar. Lock Taskbar is definitely off and I am able to slide all over the taskbar, but I can't click and drag it into a separate area for itself.

  This feature is handy has simply been removed, or is it something escapes me.

  Your looking for help,

  J Archibald

  From: Ronnie Vernon MVP

  Things have changed in Vista. Cannot move the toolbars in the taskbar.

  You can still get the same result in Vista. Go to your user account folder and create a new folder with the name you want to use for the toolbar. Then, create a shortcut to the new toolbar and place it on the desktop. Drag the shortcut on the toolbar on the side of the screen where you placed and it lay. The toolbar will fix itself on the side of the screen.

• Menu editing of Mozilla is not available. Customize provides no way to activate the menu bars, still don't have a view or change

  The classic menu bar is not displayed by default, so after reboot, it will not appear immediately. To activate the Menu bar, try one of these:

  • Right click on an empty area of the tab bar
  • Click the "+" button on the tab bar
  • Press the Alt key to display the menus temporarily classic bar and then view > toolbars
  • in customize, try the button show/hide toolbars

  A little luck?
