Icons in the task bar disappeared - minimize does not work

I turned on my PC and the desktop icons do not appear until I have a click with the right button on the desktop and click on "Refresh". I got icons on the taskbar which have now disappeared. When I try to locate Google Chrome on the taskbar it is not. If I reduce Google Chrome or any other application, it disappears - is not on the taskbar. Computer restarting does not help. What happened, and how can I fix this? Thank you

If it is a recent problem that suddenly appeared, I suggest using this page #1:

  • Icons in the task bar disappeared

    Original title: XP Pro not written Lac program memory information

    After reinstallation of programs or using the Task Manager to stop some sandbox process, then from the programs again to return the status bar icons in the status bar, they disappear after a reboot or shut down and restart. I have a Dell Optiplex GX280, 3.4 GHz with 3 GB of RAM. Two of them are new modules of a GB of quality and the other GB is two older modules of 512 MB. It was an intermittent problem and the tray would sometimes load icons of the toolbar State but now only the clock and running network icons are there after the reboot. I changed the bar of tasks and Menu properties back to try to reset the status bar, but nothing seems to help. A new facility is out of the question with all the security and other updates that need to be reinstalled on this old of a BONE, especially with "dial-up". I just restored a full backup of my external hard drive, but it made no difference. I have a laptop Dell XP Home that works very well. I didn't something different with the XP Pro that I did not go to the laptop.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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


    For more information, refer to this link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

    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.

  • The URL bar AutoComplete feature does not work correctly, does anyone else have this problem?

    I was running version 9.x and had this problem, so I've just updated to 11 of Firefox, but it does not help.

    The problem is that the URL bar doesn't let me type a new address in some cases - preferring instead to refer to a previously visited address. It would be better if I gave an example:

    I'm trying to access a site, that I have not visited, for example holden.com.au

    I type 'h', and the URL bar suggests that I go to my Hotmail login page (the URL for that starts by of ') and the rest of the extreme Auto (so now I'm in the situation where I have an address in the bar from '). This means that I can not continue to enter the address provided.

    Can it be fixed or is it just a question for me?

    I solved this problem by going to: setting up and activating/deactivating the browser.urlbar.autoFill layout. I think the default setting has been changed in a recent update.

  • After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

    9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    10. restart once again & test.

  • The shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work in InDesign CS6.

    The shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work in InDesign CS6. I don't have an ATI video card, the shortcut key is not related to the center of catalyst.

    I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 video card and I reinstalled Windows 7 x 64 three weeks ago. Since then, the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work.

    I tried to reinstall the program. I tried to clean the preferences file. Yet, nothing is done. I googled if there other programs that could take the shortcut for themselves. The InDesign menu says that the Ctrl + Alt + C is linked to the action "was". But nothing happens.

    If you have any suggestions on what do I do to fix this, please help.

    P.S.: before the reinstall, everything works great.

    MB: ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe

    CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3770 3.4 GHz

    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

    But no. I think I thought it somehow.

    I just reinstalled the CS6 InDesign from scratch, as stated in the above post. Just as new as possible. And he was always in trouble. Then I disabled the two automatic startup items:

    Broadcom 802.11 Network adapter wireless Tray Applet

    and

    Driver Logitech SetPoint.

    After that, everything is back to normal.

    I guess that one of them had caught the hotkey without mentioning, so that should be the fault. I don't think that other programs (with the exception of Adobe) have the same key as InDesign links.

    P.S.: Just restarted each disabled program and it's Broadcom 802.11 Network adapter Wireless Network Tray Applet that shows problems with the keys.

    So, thanks for trying to help me solve my problem.

    If anyone else has trouble with the keys and they have this specific bin running applet, better turn it off to be sure. In the Windows Task Manager, it is called C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WLTRAY. EXE.

  • My internal camera on my MacBook at the beginning of 2008 Pro does not work

    My internal camera on my MacBook at the beginning of 2008 Pro does not work.

    One of them will solve your problem of camera:

    (1) If your Mac restart does not solve the problem,

    (2) use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 from Apple.

    (BTW - troubleshooting section called an "iSight" camera.  However, after that article was published, Apple has changed the name of the built-in camera on the recent "iSight" Macs "FaceTime", then "FaceTime HD."  Whatever the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

    Be sure to test several Apple app (photo booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the 'Guest' for this test account.  If you don't have more than one user account for testing, create one now.  If you need help, how is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

    A 'Standard' user account is all you need for the tests.

    (3) If your camera will work correctly even with Apple applications, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS since system recovery stored on your startup disk.  Don't bother test Skype or other 3rd party apps until you have your camera works with applications Apple.

    (4) If none of the suggestions above resolve your issue, contact Apple or one of the Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally repaired. Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for the service.

  • I have a Macbook connected via WiFi to a Canon MG7520. The destination of auto scan does not work

    I have a Macbook connected via WiFi to a Canon MG7520. The destination of auto scan does not work. I put it in a subfolder under photos. The box is there on this subfolder. (My older guns would use) But this scanner and the 7120 times insist on ignoring my selection and use of the pictures folder. (when I save, they won't have a record dated in photos, but I would rather not clutter it.)

    Nobody likes Macs.

    When you open the settings of the utility Scan IJ, there are 3 tabs at the top. The first tab is settings when the analysis is started from the computer, the second tab is for setting when the analysis is started from the control panel. Make sure that you change the destination folder to 'Save to PC (self)' on the second tab!

    Hello

    It is Aero Snap.  When you select a window how you "cutting" it in position?  You do not use the window key and the arrow left/right or are you drag / drop window?  If you drag / drop, using the keyboard shortcuts help to solve the problem?
