  • I lost my games folder in the all programs folder in the start menu, how can I replace it (Win 7 Pro)

    If I remember correctly, I was playing solitaire spider on this computer about 1 year ago, but now I can't find the Games folder in the start menu. In the past, the record of the games was still installed automactically when I installed the operating system. Can it be restored or installed from a stand alone facility?

    Thank you

    Frank

    When you go to start, type spider and see if it lists the game.  Otherwise, type appwiz.cpl and press ENTER.  Then click Add windows components, and then check out the games.  Sometimes, on Windows 7 Pro, they are disabled.

  • Can I install SSD hard drive in the version of Windows XP Media Center 2002.

    Original title: ssd hard drives

    I have a Sony desktop running Windows XP Media Center version 2002. I am thinging about buying an SSD hard drive. I was wondering if it will work

    Hi Mike,

    Thank you for the question to Microsoft Community. I'll give my best to help you.

    From your problem description, I understand you want to find out if the SSD is supported in the version of Windows XP Media Center 2002.

    What is the model number of the computer?

    Windows Media center supports the SSDS. However, when buying, check with the manufacturer if the hard drive is compatible with Windows Media Center operating system in 2002.

  • Two problems: 1: there is no Mozilla or Firefox folder in the start menu;. 2: when I said 4 FF to return by default, I had all the features of FF 3 instead. I reinstalled the browser, but that has not helped. Advice would be much appreciated.

    Two problems:

    1. when I said Firefox 4 to return to the default toolbar, he returned to v. 3. I reinstalled v. 4, but that did not help.

    2. I tried to open it in safe mode and discovered that there is no Mozilla or Firefox folder in my Start menu.

    I'm the home runnint Windows 7, 64-bit.

    1.

    The orange Firefox button appears when the menu bar is hidden. Turn off Bar Menu item in view > toolbars or from the context menu for toolbars.

    2.

    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

    Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox to open it again.

  • Unable to view files in a folder in the Start Menu

    Recently cleaned a virus on my computer. Now, all the folders in the start menu appear empty. I know that the beginning is in documents and settings, all users. When I try to view the files in her lying to start on another computer on the network from this computer they appear as empty. When I check the folder to start the other computer I can see all the files. What keeps me to see the files in the startup on the infected computer folder before. I can see the files in all folders except those in Documents and Settings.

    Thank you for your kind contributions,

    Hi mate

    I assume you are using Win7. Right?

    Cannot rename files (programs) that appear in the Start Menu.

    You can ONLY rename folders.
    If you click on all programs, then you should also see some folders there.
    Right click on the folder and you should see the option rename.
    Choose this option and then you should be able to rename the folder

  • Disable a program to the start menu Windows 8

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion last month. I have a search engine, searchconduit.com, invading my OS. I ran Windows Defender Quick Scan and full Scan, do not show any threat.

  • Cannot, in the start menu, Windows XP Home on my Satellite P200D edition installation

    I have Satellite P200D-12f and I got from Vista Home Premium with laptop.
    When I try to install Windows XP on another partition empty, and when I try to boot the CD with Windows Xp, laptop turns off after 10 seconds.

    I tried several times, but the same thing happens every time.
    Why is this happening?

    I may be a protection for which I can't install anything except Vista?

    Your problem is that you don't have the drivers for the SATA controller available when you move windows XP vanilla Plains. Without the SATA drivers, windows xp will not be able to see the partition that you created on the SATA drive.

    Good luck, but I suggest that allow you to manage such things as you may turn your laptop a very expensive pouf your place of purchase.

  • For some reason any all the items on the left side of the start menu open to media player, I have tried earlier to get videos to play. And it doesn't let me do system restore

    Each item in the left pane displays a video icon and therefore tries to open the media player, also I am not able to do the system restore

    Well, the video files will open naturally in Windows Media Player.

  • Qosmio G20 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

    First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
    Please help me and thank you.

    Hello

    It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
    Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

    You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
    But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

    I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
