• Need help with the Windows Vista Start Menu

  So, I turned on my computer today and clicked on the start menu, I expanded the tab all programs and was shocked to see that it was empty. Tab Assecories, Extras and upgrades, games, all of them, all tabs have disappeared. Is any way to restore? I don't know how to get to the Defrag disk or cleaning disc or one of these things without it. Help, please!

  -Tim

  A plus for you to try.

  It still happens today. Yes?

  Why not do a system restore.

  Choose 2 days ago, or a date then your list of all the programs worked as your restore point.

• Satellite L30 - 105 - tapping Touchpad Vista start menu comes up

  Since I got my laptop (PSL33E) when I press the touch pad to select something sometimes the Vista start menu happens which is really annoying.

  Someone else had this problem?

  > When I press the touch pad to select something sometimes the Vista start menu comes up

  I think it is nothing unusual, because the area touchpad or corners can be configured to randomly.
  I recommend that you check the touchpad configuration and if you want to disable some annoying features or elements.

  The configuration of the touchpad should be found in the control panel-> mouse-> properties or advanced control.
  I do not exactly remember the way where to find these options.

• Vista Start Menu problems

  This is similar to the problems of others on the Vista Start Menu and the taskbar. I looked at the answer, tried to do, but it is already on the "'Start Menu" look, with the "Classic Start Menu" unchecked. "

  He remains in the classic style. Even the scrollbars, windows and Microsoft Paint Program file have a look outdated. In fact, everything, but my Google Chrome browser is outdated, even if the scroll bar is white and square.

  I love my computer and what she looked like before. This has happened after that my laptop has suffered a systematic update. I leave my laptop rest and waited to reconnect. The first I noticed was the Start Menu obsolete, white square and unpleasant. Another thing I noticed, it was a bubble of a word on a system event Notification. I don't know if it plays a role in this dilemma.

  I want just the Start Menu of Vista to look like a Vista Start menu.

  Hi MLD1990,

  Step 1: start by checking the event notification to know what could have happened.

  See the links below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Event-Viewer

  Step 2: this could also be a problem with the themes, you can try to change to a different theme (Vista's Aero theme) and then check out.

  For more information, see the links below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-desktop-theme

  Step 3: you can also check the recently installed updates to know what could be the cause.

• How to remove the search box in the Windows 7 Start Menu?

  I'm a guy from keyboard. Encoder, mudder. Therefore, I prefer my Start menu for user-friendly keyboard, which includes the removal of the search box as the focus of pigs. I can't find this option in the control panel to the taskbar and Start Menu. I lack, or it is impossible to get the classic Windows, looking for the start menu?

  I forgot on the thing... If you want to remove the search box, try this: start > Control Panel > programs > Turn Windows features or disable > uncheck Windows Search

  ...

  I said that you can press Tab... wrong... you must press SHIFT + Tab.

  ...

  About to express my opinion - there is a simple reason why I do this. Some time ago, someone asked how to remove the search box, and it received no response for a few days. After that, I found this option, how to remove... When I said on this subject after a few days, I heard that this person used to this new feature of Windows and now it will keep it. I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong... this system differ only from XP... so we have to try to learn something new and check after a few days we don't like this solution more than the previous.

  ...

  I wonder why write you in commentary edition which has pasted the link almost not worth it. You will get exactly the same behavior of Menu start as in Windows XP. I thought that you, like this old solution... "Pinning just something that mimics the classic style"... No... you have clicked on the first link... you should read more prudent. There was also another. But even if you have selected the first solution with menu PIN... I guess you don't know that you can run all the pinned programs by pressing the Windows key + number... for example, WinKey + 1, so that each action is made without a mouse.
