• Start icon disappears from the taskbar. Command prompt concludes that he cannot fix corrupted files.

  My power icon disappeared from my taskbar after a reboot. Following the advice of the Forum I turned on command prompt and asked the sfc/scannow.

  After a long search, I received notification that there were a few corrupted files and not all could be fixed. This had occurred previously in 2012.

  After a security alert, security, I downloaded the program named Emet. After reading more below in the Microsoft forum, I found the comments which Emet

  may damage files. I decided to uninstall Emet. When I finished that I discovered that the Emet icon has disappeared from the taskbar along

  with the battery icons and a few other icons. I took my Asus laptop at Best Buy and the tech there called a Microsoft service don't. and

  has got instructions to restore the missing icons using the appropriate record. It was in summer 2012. When I stopped my laptop Sunday, December 21, 13

  and then reopened Tuesday, December 23, 13 I found that, once more, my power icon had disappeared from the notification area. The correspondent

  subprogrammes in the control panel for the management of the icons in the notification area were inoperative for the icon of power and a few others. This

  was the exact situation I had in 2012, about 16 months ago.

  After failing to solve the problem with the command prompt, I thought I would ask for help. For the moment, I managed without going through the power icon

  presented at the center of mobility in the office and after having pinned the control panel to the taskbar on the right.

  Hi Ronald,.

  When you first start a new computer, the operating system typically runs Startup service initializations that can take anywhere from one to six hours to finish, depending on which applications are preloaded on the computer. Make sure that you give the operating system sufficient time to finish these Startup service initializations until you stop or restart the computer. This problem generally not happen once the operating system has completed initialization of all before background services is restarted.

  I suggest you refer to the following article which has a few registry tweaks to solve the problem. Please follow the steps and check out them.

  Hello

  Try this:

  Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
  Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
  Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
  CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.

  Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

  Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
  you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).

  Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
  Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
  most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
  run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.

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

  Hi, when I change my wallpaper or display the taskbar then restarted windows 7 (asus laptop) taskbar autohide, and change wallpaper unwelcom why I don't

  Hello

  This who exactly are you referring to when you say "change unwelcom why I do?"

  If the taskbar is hidden, point to where you saw last it show again. If you don't remember where you saw it, try pointing to the bottom of the screen first, then to the sides or top of the desktop, if necessary. You may need to move the pointer almost off the desktop computer to show the taskbar.

• AVG free antivirus or microsoft security essentials! What is the best?

  Ive got a dell inspiron 1525 and I have windows vista 32 bit. I don't know if I have to use security essentials package or avg anti-virus. I can also use the mcafee security suite. I just need some experienced or professional advice and appreciate it if someone could help me! Thank you!

  Everyone has their own personal likes/dislikes to security programs!
  You opened a can of worms!

  And security Suites(Norton, Trend, McAfee) are just Bloatware.
  They try to be everything to everyone and fail.
  They also use a lot of your system resources to run.

  I do not use one of them; AVG or MSE.
  There are bad reports about the compatibility of the 9.0 AVG and MSE is a new kid on the block.
  I'll wait and see how MSE pans.

  I use builtin Vista Firewall.

  I use Avast AV:

  http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

  Avast anti-virus is XP, Vista and Windows 7 compatible, FREE, automatic update, and a user of low resources from your computer.

  And, don't have 1 (one) anti-virus installed / running on your computer at any time.

  Conflicts, crash and freezing may occur if you have more than 1 (one).

  And for an Anti-malware program:

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  Malwarebytes is as its name suggests, a Malware Remover!

  Download the free Version from the link above.

  Download, install, upgrade and scan once a fortnight.
