Lost my button and all my icons and start task bar

All of a sudden my Start button, all my icons and my taskbar disappeared.  I turned my computer off several times, but it does not help.
It's frustrating because I can't to anything other than firefox.  I think that my problem started with firefox.

How are you to firefox without all the icons?

Have you tried the windows logo key?

  • Is it possible to display an image full screen; in other words, how to switch all the toolbars - including the status bar and the task bar?

    I found a few larger images (986 x 1024 and 2420 x 2514) I'd like to see on the entire screen. Is there a way to do this by enabling / disabling (then restore it later) of all toolbars - including the status bar and the task bar? Or is there an FF extension that will make perhaps even easier?

    Press F11 or select "full screen" in the menu. (If there is still floating toolbars around after that, do a right-click on the toolbar and remove the checkbox.)

  • How can I add an outlook icon in my task bar 8 windows?

    Please someone told me how I can add the outlook icon on my task bar 8 windows. I can't access the full outlook account via the mail application. It looks completely different when connect you to the internet, so I would like to add the link to my taskbar. I managed a shortcut on my desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'll assume you want to say rather Outlook.com , Microsoft Office Outlook here.   :)

    1. Open Desktop IE10.

    2. connect you & go in your Inbox Outlook.com .

    3. left-click on the Outlook.com tab and (while keeping the left mouse button) drag the tab down on your taskbar, and then release the mouse button.

    (originally the icon as a standard Internet Explore 'e', but after a few seconds should change the icon of Outlook.com .)

    Note the useful task choices available when you right click on your new icon in the taskbar Outlook.com too.

    Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon. If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.

  • I use Pale Moon x 64. The icon in the task bar and start menu looks like a 'computer' and not on the icon Moon pale-why is this?

    My computer is Windows 7-64 bit.
    I recently installed the Moon pale x 64 on the right site.
    Everything works fine, except that the "icon" of the particles in the taskbar and start menu is not the blue moon. I wonder why this is and how I can change it.
    This occurred during the installation of the particles.

    Best is to ask PaleMoon support about it.

    PaleMoon is not an official project of Mozilla, is a 3rd generation of part 'Community' that is "powered by Mozilla".

  • 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.

    Hello and thank you if you took the time to read this.

    I'm on Vista x 64

    I'll start by when I turn on my pc.  (and an example of what is happening)

    Turn on > enter password > windows start > if I leave my computer for a few moments without start all programs, the start bar will freeze after about 5 minutes.

    I am then unable to open all programs, if I try Ctrl + Alt + Delete I try to start the Task Manager, but it's too frozen and I can't terminate any process.

    The only thing I can do is Ctrl + Alt + Del again and shut down my computer.

    (is where it gets more weird)

    If I start my pc > fill in password > open some programs quickly before the start bar freezes (because he ends up by themselves) then the start bar freezes after a short period (1 min) (for example) Firefox/Chrome open, Photoshop, E-mail, etc. open, I am able to use all these programs, unless I have close or minimize the window for them , making it impossible to get again (even if they are still running as a process)

    If I try to Alt + Tab the real Vista Alt + animation tab that opens in the middle of the screen sits there frozen too impossible to close or change the program.

    To add to the strangeness >

    I then press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click CLOSE in the lower right, when I do this the ' the following documents are still open you want to save before windows shuts etc etc etc...'   So I click Cancel instead of "Force Shut down" and everything will come back to working perfectly!

    I'm confused and have no idea of what I should...

    I'm guessing a repair would be useful, but there may be something im missing

    Thank you for reading if you have any help much appreciated!

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

    Method 1:

    I suggest 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: 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: Run SFC scan.

    Hello Mike.

    Although that may not be related to your issue, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using right now has been suspended and is no longer supported. In addition, it has known bugs and security problems. I invite you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and ease of use. You can get it for free, as always, to getfirefox.com.

    As for your question, you may have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, make sure that it's not one of your modules installed, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode , and then select disable all add-ons. If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins in the same way.

    If you want supported for one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.
