Impossible to display the items in the start menu

Home Premium SP2, IE8. Dell laptop.

I must have tried mistakenly and unknowingly add an element in the Menu start (one on the right).
Now, if I click on the Start button, I have a message saying that some elements of the Start Menu may not be displayed, and that I should change to a higher resolution.
Here I am on the highest resolution 1280 x 800 pixels
Color is set to 32-bit.
Screen refresh rate is set to 60 Hertz.

System Restore is out of the question that I had made a diskcleanup and deleted all the points except the one under restoration.
I can't figure out what I wanted to add to the Start Menu.
Anyway to find out?

t-4-2

I almost checked everything and I do not get this message (but I'm at 1920 x 1200 pixels).  The thing is, you have probably really all these elements if account required to limiting the size, you'll just need to identify the items you really need/want and uncheck the others until the message disappears.  Most of these items can be added as shortcuts to the office or the menu all programs for options is a click on Show desktop and clicking on the option instead of a click on start and click on the option (even two clicks so be it - more if you put the shortcuts in all programs rather than on the desktop).  If you are having problems, create the appropriate shortcuts, just post back exactly what are the options that you want as shortcuts and we will see if we can help you (if you still need that).

As much as what option you want to add, I have no idea and no way of knowing.  You must include only what you actually use frequently.  Don't forget, there are other ways to do all these options, even if they are not in the Start Menu, you can still get where you want to go (just may take a little longer).

The only other choice is to upgrade your video card so that it supports a higher resolution (assuming one is available that is compatible with the rest of your computer and its devices - in particular, the monitor and motherboard - and also compatible with your version of Vista).  But this seems a high price to pay just to be able to see a few buttons in the Start Menu.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Can you confirm the version of your ReadyNAS unit HW? It could have been labeled as ReadyNAS V2, but it could be a V1. Send me a PM with S/N so I can check.

  • JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

    My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

    Hi, landonblaine:

    When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

    Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

    Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

    Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

    ·         The question is only limited to Office applications?

    ·         What exactly happens when you try to open an Office application? You receive an error message?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: I suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malware

    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: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    Method 2: If this does not help then you can uninstall and reinstall Windows search 4.0 on the computer.

    Follow the steps below to uninstall:

    a. click on Start

    b. click Control Panel

    c. select Add / Remove Program

  • How to get all the programs in the Start Menu is displayed as a cascading menu

    Is there a legitimate way to get the menu all programs in the Windows 7 Start Menu to display a menu cascading (WinXP style)?

    I've seen many references to various malicious programs to download from the internet who hack into the start menu to provide this functionality, but I'm not interested in executing random programs from the internet.

    If there is no legitimate way to do this in Windows 7 right now, is it possible to add this in the future Microsoft? The current implementation of menu "scroll of the trees" is really annoying. :-(

    Hi Ghaz78

    There is unfortunately no way to do this without using a replacement of the third party.

    One of the most popular workarounds must simply turn on the Quick Launch bar. You can put the toolbar QL next to the Start Menu and then copy the folder of programs (all programs) on this toolbar that will give you the cascading effect.

    See the post below for the steps to add the QL toolbar.

    Bar to complete tasks

    Once this done, go to Start, then right-click all programs , and then selectopen all users. This will take you to the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program . This is the location where the shortcuts that appear in all the user accounts, theall programs folder.

    Copy this folder in: C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    Go toStart, all programs right click and select Open. This will take you to the
    Record of C:\Users\your start\program name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start.
    This is the folder where shortcuts that appear only in the all programs to your specific user account folder is located.

    Copy this folder in:C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    Quite.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for using Windows 7
