my taskbar disappears and I can't close properly. Cannot access control panel
Hi please can help you.
If I leave the computer for a while, the screen freezes.
I can't stop the computer correctly in the start menu, but have to do it from the Tower

I can't access control panel either, but everything else seems to work very well.
Also, the taskbar disappears.
Help, please. best regards and thank you joan

How can I get rid of xmarks. I never installed it and I can't find it in the control panel
See above this feature is only on my desktop and I can't get rid of
Hello
If it has been installed as a Firefox extension you can try to Remove in Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons - > Extensions.
On the other hand, if it was installed as a Windows application or Internet Explorer application, you may need to uninstall via the control panel of the Windows operating system, or the affected browsers. Windows support would be useful.

Cannot access control panel or Windows updates and not more sound
Yesterday, I restarted my computer and a message keeps popping up that I am victim of software counterfeiting (in reference to Microsoft Windows) when I bought the computer at Future Shop just a year ago. Also, now there is a red X on the speaker icon in the corner and said "no audio output device is installed". I followed the instructions mentioned in another post, as well as other Web sites, and nothing seems them works. Above everything else, I can not access the control panel. It appears and disappears immediately. If this were not already enough, Windows Update does not work or the other. The icon is there, but whenever I click on it, nothing happens.
I only bought the computer a year ago, and there is already a long list of problems with it. I'm at the end of my rope! If someone is brave enough to tackle these problems, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!So.Lai,

Yes, confirm this answer of philipp is correct for this problem, the problem is the graphics card intel hd3000 with an old driver current, the easy way is to disable hardware acceleration,... to be honest... I think that workaround and lose all the benefits of hardware acceleration.

The button 'Send' on my Mac Book Pro has disappeared and I can't send him. Other devices on the same WiFi have their buttons send and can send messages. I can also send mails on my iPhone6Plus. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the supplier or the connection. I've recently updated to El Capitan. That's happened? How can I get the back button?
Ski6ta,
Same question as Re: cannot send email... Maybe this will help.

I used to be able to right-click on a photo and bring up a window allowing me to resize, brighten, control eyes red etc, but he disappeared and I can not find. Can anyone help please? Don Fitzpatrick_795
Thanks for trying to help me and I found already this site but was'nt be able to make it work for me, probably because I'm 82 years old and am certainly not a guru when it comes to computers, but if you have other thoughts on the subject, they will be welcome as long as they are simple, if you get what I mean.
Sincerely, Don Fitzpatrick_795
=============================================
Since we have no way to know what you
already tried or what the program that has been
you were happy with... this question is difficult to
fix.Question... When you view your photos now
.. are you using Windows Live Photo Gallery?I'm guessing it was Windows Photo
Gallery?Perhaps the two programs are still available...
I wonder if you could go to... Start Orb / All
Programs / Windows Photo Gallery... and
the launch of the old version? -
my shortcut folders disappear and I can't disable the cleanup of unused shortcuts on the new computer windows 7
I have a lot of shortcuts I need readily available and it is very annoying when they disappear without my wanting to do. I spent hours looking for an answer and I can't change the setting on the maintenance of the system 'clean up unused and shortcuts files' - but some missing I have used very recently - in the last week - so no reason for them to be cleaned - I tink im going to send this back stupid computer and get an Apple!
I never had this problem with windows XP - windows 7 is rubbish if I can't disable this fundamental thing.
