  • Laptop with Vista does not start

    For the last 24 hours since I restarted my HP laptop, the screen showed "configuration updates, step 1 of 3, 0% complete, don't turn off your computer."

    Unfortunately, I have tried everything that I could find, including microsoft research, restorations of x 4 systems, etc, etc, etc.
    I think the problem started when I turned off the computer for an update - it may have ruined the kernel or the registry. I have rebuilt the system with a restore function and everything seems to work well. no more problems with hibernate sleep etc.

  • How to change the icons on the start menu?

    I was wondering if it is possible to change the icons on the start menu, combined with 'My Favorites', 'Control Panel' and others?

    Thank you for using Microsoft answers.

    Icons on the start menu is not editable, but you can download and install third-party themes to change the Visual effects of the start menu.

    You can use your favorite search engine to download and install themes.

    You can change the icons of the folders and add images.
