• After installation of the parental control my Start Menu will not open

  I have recently installed Windows live family safety on my computer. After I've set up and he began to monitor user accounts, I found that the start menu will not open and when you navigate in Explorer, records that contain a large amount of files I can't navigate to files that lie near the bottom, as it keeps jumping to the top of the page.

  It is without doubt parental control that is causing the problem as the uninstall it sorts the problem. I ran SFC/scannow, a cmd in normall, and safe mode prompt and it doesn't find any errors

  . I had this same problem when I got the laptop in November and a successful to fall on a difficulty at the time (to install the resource from Dell that CD somehow fixed?), but now that either doesn't work or it was a coincidence that the problem has been resolved at the same time, it seemed however to solve the problem on some laptops that I worked at the time.

  I had to reset the laptop back to factory settings (ironically due to a system error that prevented the family of work safety!) I also tried a replair nothing works facility. When I installed Essentials I selected only parental controls must be installed.

  I am now at my wits end, I do not understand how a piece of Windows software is make a significantly Windows operating system!

  The installer I used was version 15.4.3555.308, is there a more up-to-date this solve the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• 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!

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.

• 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

• Shortcuts in the desktop or the Start Menu has not created

  Hello

  We use vWorkspace 7.2. and AppPortal for access applications on 2003 TS in transparent window mode. All published applications are accessible from the thick client or VDI computers. When I assign an application to vWorkspace folder, the icon appears correctly in AppPortal. Problem starts when I attribute the same request to "Remote Desktop files", in this case no entries are created, nor to the desktop or the Start Menu or any other option. When I change AppPortal to work in integrated desktop mode all entries are properly created.

  There are already a ticket about this Quest (CaseID:887952) support. After many hours of phone calls from the Technical Department explained what I need is available only when all of the TS Office are published. I find it hard to believe that I did the same thing easily with other 3rd party broker connection software. What is your experience, do you have "Remote Desktop Folder" work without providing complete desktop TS?

  Best regards

  Adrian Tonina

  Adrian,

  AppPortal is designed to run on your client computer of the end user and is able to show the shortcuts in the user interface or on the desktop of the client operating in desktop integrate mode (DI).  When running in mode of DI, only applications that are designated for the integration of office will have shortcuts created on the client for desktop/menu start.  You can specify in the properties of a managed application, Desktop Integration step.  Note that only applications that are assigned to the Connector vWorkspace records will be created through AppPortal.

  Applications that are assigned to the Standard and customized remote office records are created through our configuration of the Shell (pnshell) module, and their shortcuts are created on the remote (TS or VDI) desktop computers.  If configured properly, you will see them on the entire desktop of the remote session.

• Windows 7 start menu will not work, no posted solution does seem to work

  Hello colleagues

  I am running Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop.  The question is a common one in the net but I tried all the solutions I can and nothing seems to work.

  It happened once before and I rebooted and no problem then - restart now does nothing.

  The only way I can get the menu up is to simultaneously press Ctrl and Alt and while that hurry, click on the start - menu this opens it - but release Ctrl and Alt and it disappears.  Release one or the other button Ctrl or Alt and it sparkles.  It is also the same if I try and access the hidden icons on the right side of the toolbar.

  However it don't type anything in the function "search".

  I can access 'Accessories' in 'Programs', but do a right click on "Command prompt" does nothing.

  I restored the system twice.  This has been done in safe mode.  The problem continued.

  Off fragging is not a problem, as I did, and it did nothing.

  I did the process NVIDIA and the machine told me that the driver is working correctly.

  I did all the difficulties I can running messages from the center of the action.  What I can't do, however, is check for BIOS update from Toshiba or by a new NVIDIA driver because by clicking on the options either does not a screen (except if this is done also pressing Ctrl and Alt together), or when he does typing anything in the info boxes does not work : nothing comes.

  This is also a feature to try anything in the space of fields such as deposit details to get an upgrade on my antivirus (AVG running) of type - information software simply not clap.

  Extra when I'm looking to solve problems with the updates by clicking on the links produces no results unless I press Ctrl and Alt together - but release the buttons and the process stops.

  Do not type like I said I have been in the nets and tried all the solutions - those that I can complete, such as restoration and so on does not solve the problem - and those who require the information in the boxes do not work as the letters etc in.

  The new ideas/solutions gratefully received.

  See you soon

• How to remove an item from the start menu in Windows 7?

  I tried to install a game written for an earlier version of Windows.  It did not work, but when I uninstalled the program, he left an icon in my Start menu.  I can't find a way to delete the item in my Start menu.

  If I click on the link, I get a message that says that this is not a valid Win32 application.

  If I right click on the link, I get options:
  Play
  Run as administrator
  More games from Microsoft
  Support
  PIN to the taskbar
  PIN to Start Menu
  Sort by name

  I miss the opportunity, we usually need to change the Menu start manually!

  I did all that, although I had to 'Show hidden files' in two different places, but the guarded program reappear, even after that I deleted everything that I could find that had "Lemmings" in there.  I had installed the program on the D drive and I could delete it, but the next time I saw the Start Menu, it would put a file on drive D named Lemmings Revolution.exe (with no data in this document, 0 bytes).

  I tried the support link from Microsoft and the thought that should work, but alas, I didn't have the product code to enter the FixIt program when asked.

  I finally took a huge risk Open regedit and then sought to any occurrence of the word "Lemmings".  I deleted everything in the registry that referenced "Lemmings", then returned to the D drive (in the command prompt) and deleted the above programme, after that I restarted my computer.

  So far, it seems to have solved the problem...

  (I knew after you remove some of the registry keys, one of the contained key code product I could entered the FixIt program, but by then I had already made changes.)

  Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!
