icons, star bar and task bar not missing but appearing too slow

Hello! The my problem are the icons, the bar start and taskbar. They are not lacking, but his appearance hours after having turned on the computer. In safe mode, they appear quickly, but in this mode, I can't do a lot of things. What can I do to fix that?

Info about my computer:
System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
Computer: AMD Sempron (tm) Processor 3200 + 1.80 GHz, 896 MB of RAM

Safe mode is essentially Windows running with the bare minimum of starting programs and processes... so if safe mode behaves correctly but normal isn't, this suggests that there is a nonessential program or process that normally runs at startup which is interefering or cause this problem.  The general approach to finding and fixing this problem is a tedious process and iterative where you use "msconfig" to disable processes that run at startup in groups (reset after each iteration) until you narrow in on one that is causing your problem.  The whole process is described in the following article:

"How to solve configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310560 >

FWIW, there is also an equivalent to msconfig program called "AutoRuns" that is provided as freeware from Microsoft

AutoRuns: <> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx >

HTH,
JW

PS: Sometimes you can get these bar of tasks & icons appear at the request by typing "Ctrl-Alt-Del" to bring up the Manager tasks.  Once the Task Manager is running, select the file-> new task, and then type in "explorer".

    bleedorange1998,
    Thanks for posting with us.  I suggest try to start safe mode and see if it works correctly.  If Yes, then you can start using the "last known good configuration."   If in Safe Mode, you have the same problem, you should run chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow.  Here are the instructions for these suggestions.  Post back with the results.

  • Audio filter missing on Mac, and yet do not miss.

    When I load the first (Mac version, latest version of first), I am suddenly getting an error:

    "Lack of audio filter: 2:859259221 DSUS dbx 160.


    Yet when the program loads, the Audio filter is actually there (UAD dbx 160) and works very well. It's not a huge deal, but since it started suddenly occurring, I hope this isn't a sign of future trouble.


    BTW, I don't have this filter activated anywhere in the project.


    I tried unchecking it the area of Audio Plugins so it would not load, but I always get the error message.



    My learning curve is showing - I thought about it. I'll let my mistake here so that others can learn.

    For some reason, a filter had been applied to a single audio clip - NOT in the audio mixer Panel, but on the item itself.  I'm just learning that first allows you to see at a glance if audio FX is applied.

    I have the first configured to display audio in the timeline panel.  And there's a little bitty box in the upper left corner of each audio file with the letters "fx".

    If there is no fx applied, these letters are gray.

    If the volume or pan has been applied to this clip, these letters are yellow.

    If another plugin is applied (as was my case), these letters are green.

    I figured this out after watching every single audio clip in my calendar.  I found that the plugin mentioned above - the dbx 160 - had in fact been applied to a clip.  I took it off, and the error message from my original post disappeared.

    Live and learn!

  • can not defragment, task scheduler not started, but it's

    Running Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to run Defrag, I get the message that it will not run because the Task Scheduler service is not started. When I check the Task Scheduler service, that it IS running and the game runs automatically. What should I do to solve it?

    Jim T

    I solved the problem by going to Tools\Defragment Administrative and optimize readers. I could then manually run Defrag and also restore the defragmentation task that was missing in Task Scheduler. Everything is OK now. Thank you for your return to me.

    Hi Pete Wiz.

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: This problem occurs if the current user profile has been accidentally deleted from the system.

    Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information on how to back up and restore the registry

    a. log in the system by using an administrative user account other than the user account that is experiencing the problem.

    b. back up the data in the folder of the current user profile if the profile folder still exists and then delete the profile folder. By default, the profile is located in the following location:

    %SystemDrive%\Users\UserName

    c. click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    d. Locate the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    e. under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey named SID.bak.

    Note: SID is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the problem. The SID.bak subkey must contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the folder of the original profile of the user account that is experiencing the problem.

    f. exit the registry editor.

    g. log off the system.

    h. Journal to log on to the system again.

    Here is an article:

    A temporary profile is loaded after you connect to a Windows Vista-based system

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947242/en-us

    Note: The article also applies to Windows 7.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    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.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  • My Firefox icon has changed and I'm not sure of what it is in the mode.

    My Firefox icon is an icon, I have seen before with three red and green and a page of tour top right. I was in my program list the other day and hit something in Firefox on accident. Please, help me to understand what that means. Is my browser in private mode or another parameter, I had not asked? Thank you.

    You can change the icon using the context menu > properties.

    You can check for problems with the Windows icon cache and trying to rebuild the icon cache.

    1. Open the task (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) Manager
    2. In the processes tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select end process.
    3. Open the file picker via ' file > new task (run) "and click on the Browse button.
    4. Type or paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the file name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    5. Select the IconCache.db file and use 'Remove' from the context menu to remove the file.
    6. After that the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process through "file > new task" for the job and work the taskbar to return.

    The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure you can see hidden files.

  • The desktop icons are not displayed, but appear on the office toolbar

    Recently, my niece tried to take a picture of the webcam and use it for paper painted.  She then changed back.  The next time that the computer was used, all desktop icons disappeared!

    They are still in their folder, and if the Office toolbar is enabled, all the icons are there.

    If the office is a right-click, the options menu under rearrange icons by are grayed out. the display does not appear.

    It is not a malware problem; system has MSE and in addition, the nice people at MalwareTeks have crossed me half a dozen ladies without anything to reveal.  In addition, all dashboard software works very well in the start menu, or quick launch icons or toolbars of office.

    It is XP/SP3 with all updates.  Everything seems to work, it's just that there are no icons on the desktop!

    In addition, if a new user is set up, icons ARE there on THIS desk.

    Well done.
