• my Start menu bar is on the right side of my screen and not to the bottom... How can I get that back down?

• Why you guys would mess with the Quick Launch bar? I'm sorry, I've just updated! :(

  I've just updated to 31.7, unfortunately.

  I've always had a you Bird icon on the far left of my Quick Launch bar. Now it creates a whole new icon and it puts far to the right.

  I kept clicking on my icon on the far left because I thought that it was not run. See attachment.

  Whose brilliant idea was this? Was the point of this change? A change was still necessary? NOOOOOOO!

  It's the ONLY window app that does this. You try to start a trend?

• Icon start Csn can't access menu or the start task bar, someone does something to my office, help!

  I'm helping a friend on his computer because someone got on the subject and created a strange wallpaper and now she can still access the icon start or the bar menu or the task to start on the desktop.  I tried to delete the .gif picture in the photo gallery of window for her, but she says that she has not yet access now to dellete a small little .gif who was transformed into a pervasive wallpaper. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to access these things without clicking on things I know.  I hope someone is still in place and can help.  It's 12:15 it in Scottsdale, AZ.

• computer crashes with no menu or the start task bar

  my system hangs when booting with icons and wallpaper to the top, but start menu or task bar. You can highlight the icons but not open any.  If you double-click you can highlight all other icons. also if you move the taskbar, the hourglass appears. About 3 weeks ago, I had freezes and removed with 1 user account and everything worked fine. Now, it started but I can't really start now the keyboard commands do not work. The system is new.

  Any IDEAS?

  Hi hvactech2,

  It looks like your system may be infected, see if you can get into Safe Mode first and then let me know.

• I can't access my account normally in Vista Home Premium: no job, no icons, no start button bar

  This problem started about 2 days ago. I turn on the computer and it starts normally. Then, when I put my password to login my account all I'm getting is the dialog box on a black screen asking if I want to start Vista now or more later. In addition, there are also a message in the corner at the bottom right of the screen saying that it is not a genuine copy of Vista. There is no taskbar, no icons, no start button. So far I tried to start safe mode and it identify you with icons, button bar and try to start but the background is always black without wallpaper. I tried restoring the system and don't have a virus scan with Live One Care, but these did not work.  Sometimes if I leave it alone and come back later the missing items are returned on their own, but the wallpaper is not yet there. In fact, while I was typing this question jumped in the back things. What else can I try?

  Hello

  If Windows has not been activated, the black screen is a normal behavior of Microsoft.  See André solution in this thread for Windows 7.

• Start/task bar freezes, but can still work on all open windows? : S

  Hello and thank you if you took the time to read this.

  I'm on Vista x 64

  I'll start by when I turn on my pc.  (and an example of what is happening)

  Turn on > enter password > windows start > if I leave my computer for a few moments without start all programs, the start bar will freeze after about 5 minutes.

  I am then unable to open all programs, if I try Ctrl + Alt + Delete I try to start the Task Manager, but it's too frozen and I can't terminate any process.

  The only thing I can do is Ctrl + Alt + Del again and shut down my computer.

  (is where it gets more weird)

  If I start my pc > fill in password > open some programs quickly before the start bar freezes (because he ends up by themselves) then the start bar freezes after a short period (1 min) (for example) Firefox/Chrome open, Photoshop, E-mail, etc. open, I am able to use all these programs, unless I have close or minimize the window for them , making it impossible to get again (even if they are still running as a process)

  If I try to Alt + Tab the real Vista Alt + animation tab that opens in the middle of the screen sits there frozen too impossible to close or change the program.

  To add to the strangeness >

  I then press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click CLOSE in the lower right, when I do this the ' the following documents are still open you want to save before windows shuts etc etc etc...'   So I click Cancel instead of "Force Shut down" and everything will come back to working perfectly!

  I'm confused and have no idea of what I should...

  I'm guessing a repair would be useful, but there may be something im missing

  Thank you for reading if you have any help much appreciated!

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

• my taskbar and menu start has disappered. I don't have a start menu bar.

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

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

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  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.

• How to copy animations to other objects without messing up the starting position?

  When I have an animation on an object (say the displacement of left side of the screen to the right), and I want to copy paste this animation to other objects, how should I do this?

  If I copy the animation and paste it on other objects, they will end up in the position where I want them to start.

  Placing them on their final position will not give results, I would like to have either. Only when I put all the changes (e.g., rotation, scale, etc.), it will work.

  Is there a faster way to do this?

  Thank you!

  

  You can copy the animation, make sure to place the playhead to the desired start position, select the target object, and use Paste special-> Transitions paste of another. It should give you the desired result.

• 38.0 I lost before, reply/ReplyAll is a mess and customize the tool bar does not help. Help

  If automatic installation of 38.0 left the above problems. Customize either is not what I want or drag on the toolbar. At least I can return to v37? I do not understand the merits of v38 which means, in my opinion, I don't not need them!
  Quite separately from what the above I have a problem with my overflow of memory for temporary periods, even when I'm not demanding any activity. I installed more memory, which aleviated the problem briefly, but all of a sudden, a few weeks ago he's back. I did tests antivirus nothing helps. When this happens it is always Mozilla and Thunderbird as top of the list of activities and I am tempted to re - install. I'm going to do a back-up first but prefer not to rely on what I haven't tried recovering from a back-up. Specifically I need to take measures to protect and preserve the history of my email? And addrbk?
  Thank you in anticipation of any help.

  I was using version 38.0.1 and did not experience the problems you describe, but there can be other personalized preferences etc. accumulated over time that the difference between your profile and mine.
  Yes, the answer may have looked like manual, but it's usually the fastest method to get the corrected results.

  I am now using the latest version 38.1.0 and currently is not undergoing problems.

• Why FF14 open 2 of the same web page when you start task bar or a web email link favorites. Does that since the last update.

  If I chose FF from the taskbar icon, it opens the same homepage twice - as individual pages. Done the same thing if I select a web page saved in my favorites folder or if I select a web link in an email that I received.

  I'm currently one of pages windows close and then if I want a different site FF behaves like 'Normal' with "single" new windows [with the 'shift' key] or "added" window for one open.

  If I close FF and want to open a web page link, it opens again 2 on the same site as 2 MS windows!

  This is perhaps a problem with the DDE that makes Firefox opens the page on both channels.

  You can try to redo the default browser and make temporarily to another browser the default browser.
