No background only icon or the taskbar

Don't know why, but when I turned on my computer I only get a background. I can't same righ click. I can ctr alt del to task mgr and get some programs, but most of them do not work. Nothing in the control panel will not work. I scanned for virus. Went to the norton site and pulled out of their. Nothing I help.

Has anyone else had this problem and managed to resolve it without formatting?

It is most often caused by malicious software. Norton won't be effective to determine if the computer is clean or not. You can start the (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Task Manager? If so, use new task to perform more in-depth analysis.

  • Its icon on the taskbar is not displayed

    Hello!

    Just today my laptop does not show an icon on the taskbar sound as it usually does. If you see in the right corner it usually an icon of the right? but mine is gone?
    Can you help me how to get it back?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    You can still hear sound on speakers? If so the only problem could be the disabled sound icon in the taskbar. Therefore, go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification icons of the region. Make sure that the volume icon is not disabled and it will always be displayed in the taskbar.

    If you can t hear you should check the Device Manager. The sound card is listed in the Device Manager?
    If this isn't the case, you must reinstall the audio driver no doubt. You can download the driver from his most recent official website of Toshiba:

    I use a PC & a cable modem wireless to connect to the Internet.  When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified.  I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.  The only other issue I see is once in a while after it is connected, I noticed that it is to identify the network connection, but I see no problem to surf the web.  This could be a looming problem with the modem, or is it something else?  Should I consider it as my modem is still under warranty?  ARRIS / Motorola wants to charge a diagnostic fee is why I write on this forum first.

  • How can I restore my desktop icons and the taskbar icons

    I tried to open a file with a program's .lnk and her was not recognized in the program, and now my desktop icons and my icons to the taskbar was converted into icons for the program. How to get this back? I need to know how to do this in Windows 7.

    [Moved from comments]

    There are some patches for the issue that you siding, but most of them requires registry changes that I do not say that they can cause several other problems. I recommend that you perform a system restore.

    There are two ways to perform the system restore:

    Menu start open, click Run and type cmd to open the command prompt.

    Type CD... to book only c:\.

    Type windows CD then CD System32, and then restore.

    After once, you'll find yourself in c:\ windows\system32\restore >

    Type restrui.exe press ENTER.

    Once the system restore the open window then click on next to select any available restore point.

    This process takes a few minutes to do the restore and please make sure that once this process has begun there wont be reversible and or you will lose all personal data.

    Another way to perform the system restore is to open the safe mode by clicking on F8 at startup and check the option of safe mode, then still a dialog box opens to ask the system restore and then follow the steps above.

  • How can I disable the ToolTip on the icons in the taskbar?

    The question is quite simple, but the resolution is not.
    I wonder if really power disable or delete, perhaps even delay so-called tooltip on the icons in the taskbar.
    Note that I don't know of the ToolTip in general, but only those that appear in the task bar when the mouse on them.
    Note also that I speak not of the miniature, which I also already have successfully disabled.
    Now, I'll give you a picture to describe my problem more in detail.

    According to the photo, I speak of the ToolTip that is displayed at the top, or at the beginning of the image.
    The second problem is "solved".

    Thank you in advance for any help people.

    Hello

    There has been several conversations here on this topic in recent years.  Unfortunately, there is no way to disable tooltips or change their timeout value - they are hard coded in the operating system.  Ironically, this was done as an effort to try to reduce the visible distraction (such as bubbles of Notifications being allowed to stay) for a time/frequency max.
    That said, I encourage you to submit feedback page so Microsoft Gets the slot a form they are followed and can incorporate in future versions:

    Hello

    Assuming you are using Windows 7, try the following.

    Click on the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open programs and features, click on "Windows turn features on or off" and remove the check mark next to Internet Explorer 9 click Yes and then OK and then when done, restart the computer.

    When Windows has restarted, click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open programs and features, click on "Windows turn features on or off" and re-enter the checkmark next to Internet Explorer 9.  Click Yes and then OK, and when it has finished installing, restart the computer again.

  • Unity Mode - icons in the taskbar on the host do not work as expected for some applications

    In Unity mode, the icons in the taskbar on the host computer do not work as expected for some applications. The following problems may occur:

    1. several icons for a single application.

    2 aero Peek does not work if the application is reduced.

    3 icon moves to the end of the task bar after restoration of the collapsed state.

    These problems make it difficult to work in Unity mode. Here are some details about my setup:

    VMware Workstations Version: 7.0.1 build 227600

    Host: Windows 7 64-bit (all updates applied)

    Client: Windows XP (all updates applied)

    Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 1:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3. minimize and optimize Visual Studio 2003. Finally, you should see several icons, each with a different air look.

    When this happens, you can maximize is more than a simple click (as there are a stacked icons). Sometimes, only one of the icons to display Visual Studio 2003 (when testing this now, the other icon displays a portion of the Office of comments). If multiple copies of Visual Studio 2003 are launched, it is difficult to know who is who.

    Procedure reproduce problem 2:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3 minimize Visual Studio 2003.

    4. place the cursor on the icon. You should see the icon in Aero Peek (similar to the Aero Peek look when you use Microsoft Windows XP Mode).

    Aero Peek works great for other applications reduced, such as Windows Explorer.

    Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 3:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3. start Windows Explorer in the start menu of the unit.

    4 to minimize Visual Studio 2003.

    5 optimize Visual Studio 2003. The icon disappears briefly and then displayed in a different location (to the right of the icon in Windows Explorer).

    I guess that these issues will eventually with the similar Microsoft products such as SQL Server Management Studio, newer versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft Office (I guess just--I have not tried other programs).

    These questions, it is very difficult to use Visual Studio 2003 in Unity Mode, which is the main application, I need to use the virtual machine. I would love to see these issue fixed.

    Kind regards

    Tim

    Hi Tim, this behavior all boils down to the fact that when you reduce the VS, is not to minimize as windows normally do. VS hides the main window, and then returns to the window in the reduced state.  When the host sees the window becomes hidden, she removes the button from the taskbar to the window of the unit; There is no way of knowing that the window will be re-shown again later.  The thumbnail Aero does not work for the reduced window because the host never saw this window in its normal state, so that the host knows not what are the contents of the window.

    The good news is that you can work around the button behavior of taskbar in Workstation 7.1 by pinning the window VS. In this way, the taskbar button will always be there no matter how many times the window of the unit is shown/hidden. It will not solve the problem of thumb nail, however.

  • 10.0 Firefox now creates a new icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 whn launched. Why?

    With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?

    After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
    DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.

    Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.
