• Windows 8 programs and start menu keep popping up randomly help!

  OK so I started a program of windows 8, I hide and go to my desktop and use chrome etc. programs all minutes from this program, I hid continues to appear, I close it and it keeps popping up for 3 - 5 times and then it disappears. Anyone know what causes this?

  PROBLEM SOLVED (for me)!  I had this problem for a week on my new computer.  Seemed that the 'Start' button has been continually pressed.  Do you happen to have a wireless keyboard that you have changed out for another which is always close to your computer... like I did.  Turns out I forgot to pull the battery in my wireless keyboard and also has not entered the USB for remote transmitter/receiver.  I got the keyboard on a shelf above the computer.  The button 'Start' was pressed against a book so it was always "pressed" and always communicate with the computer.  Just happened to do that, when I thought if something goes wrong with my original keyboard.  When I out took it of the shelf, the problem stopped.  I hope this helps!

• How can I stop Windows 8 Start menu from popping up when I drag my mouse around using my touchpad?

  On my new laptop, whenever I try to go on the left side of my screen on the right side by sliding my finger on the touchpad, the start menu appears. How can I disable this?

  Hi friend

  Welcome to the Microsoft community,

  I preached this whole week... my pleasure to increased win8 x 100 once I turned off the edge of the touchpad scan function.  The path may be slightly different, but the synaptics touchpad is the Control Panel / hardware and audio / mouse / device settings / settings / edge shot - and disable "enable edge scans".

  This prevents context changes maddening when browsing the web or doing anything on the touch pad really... you can always access the charms on the right upper or lower, and you can always access history FRO the top left corner after that you disable this... but it is much more controlled.
  hope this helps!
  Tell me when you read this all & if the problem will still be there, then I'll help you.
  Thank you.

• my Start menu keeps popping up without touching I thought I had a virus so I reformatted and its still doing the same thing

  its all in the title

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  Microsoft has suggestions and offerings to

  Moderator Forum Keith has a few suggestions along this line to

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

• Windows 7 on a computer hp laptop, start menu never ceases to appear and disappear if often I can't type on the command line.

  Windows 7 on a computer hp laptop, start menu never ceases to appear and disappear if often I can't type on the command line. I can open Google Chrome and click here to read the games. If I need to type anything it either in the menu popping up any program does not allow me to do. I have it in safe mode to try to run a full scan check but not able to do. Any suggestions?

  Help, please

  You have another keyboard, say a connected USB, try? If this occurs only when you try to type, I was wondering if the keyboard is faulty and its operation to sort of the windows key?

  If this is likely, you can try https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/216893 if you click on the toggle bits.

  If not that, perhaps of possible malware? Can you go as far as to update your antivirus software and then run a full scan to see if it finds problems? When you say "able to do" whats happening?

  1. did you remove Bootcamp using disk utility?

  2 have you tried local restore or recovery of the Internet? - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support . Mac with built-in optical drives may need 'Gray' disks to boot the system.

• the Windows 7 start menu as a menu display does not respond when selected

  original title: windows 7 start menu - display as a menu broken

  When you customize my Start menu in Windows 7, I chose to 'Display as a Menu', as many items as I could.  It worked well for a while, but now is broken. Now, if 'Display as a Menu' or "Display as a link" is chosen, I have to click the item to open it.  I tried to change it back in 'menu' to 'bind', I tried choose "display only" and then back to "view in the form of a menu, I rebooted. I changed the delay of menushow definition in the registry by default 400 for as little as 20.  All to nothing does not.  Any ideas?

  FYI for those who might encounter the same problem... found an easier solution.  I just put the menu start failing. The button is at the bottom of the start menu.

• Taskbar and Start menu keeps disappearing

  My taskbar and Start Menu keeps disappearing and I cannot get it back. Does anyone else have this problem?

  Original title: taskbar problem

  Thanks for the suggestions... I used method 1 and 2. Method 1 does not work and the method 2 worked until it got to the point when it asked me to insert my installation CD... I don't not. This computer did not come with a CD. Installation info are on a D drive. How do you it?

  Hello EJHX,

  You can do this by changing the special folder of the Source registry path. You can use the Update to do, or you can do it manually.

  [1] method: The use of tune-up to set up special folders
  
  
  • Open the integrator of the tune-up or the State Bar Directory
  • Select the Customize Windows from Start Tune-Up Center
  • Click options preferences and behaviors
  • In the left pane, select system under Administration
  • In the right pane, select special folders tab controller
  • Select "Windows configuration files" in the "Special feature" column in the list, then click on 'change '.
  • Find the folder and click OK when finished
  • Click OK again to save the settings

  Screenshot: http://i45.tinypic.com/2jf0y68.jpg
  [2] method: Using Windows Registry Editor to configure the SourcePath value
  
  
  • On the start menu, select "Run."... »
  • Insert: regedit.exe
  • In the left pane, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft Computer\ My
    \Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
  • In the right pane, double-click the value SourcePath "' which is a string value
  • Insert the desired location, and then click OK to save the settings

  NOTICE: You can change the setting back after you are done after the execution of SFC.
  Thank you
  Have a nice day :)

• Problems of updates Windows XP - how to fix the incorrect Windows XP updates KB2633952 keep asking to install?

  Problems of updates Windows XP - how to fix the incorrect Windows XP updates KB2633952 keep asking to install? True, it is that it is already installed on your computer. If hide us, an another previous KB2570791 arises in our updates of Windows and asked to install anything, that it was installed... of the questions repeated and very annoying.  Help, please!

  (Microsoft Answers just sent us message have deleted our previous thread, ask for help!) We are simply not that these problems are problems with Windows XP updates related to DST or not?)

  Nadia. PA supporter said that your computer is hacked. He may be right. I can't weigh because I don't know what led him to this conclusion. If your computer is hijacked, then you should address that more that you need to fix this minor update. However, under the resolution of your problem to update, you can try this:

  Assume Windows XP

  Check the C:\Windows\System32\ directory for the presence of the file tzchange.exe

  If the file is not present or if the version of the file is not 5.1.2600.6171 or newer...

  Download the update appropriate 2633952 for your platform here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2633952

  Run with - extract switch (e.g., Start > run > "[path to the downloaded file] \WindowsXP-KB2633952-x86-ENU.exe"-x)

  Of course, replace [path to the downloaded file] with the path to the downloaded file.

  Citations may or may not be required depending on the path. Place the x - out the citations if you use them.

  Choose a location for the extracted files (a new folder is recommended)

  Locate the extracted files. File tzchange.exe you want and copy it into C:\windows\System32

  That rerun Windows Update detection to see if the problem is resolved.

• Sony Bravia KLV-40R452A. Green light keeps blinking and the Menu keeps popping up.

  Hi, I have a Sony Bravia KLV-40R452A. Green light on the model continues to Flash. The TV starts, but the Menu keeps popping up.

  I have reset to factory settings with the arrow upwards on the remote and turning the TV power on the back of the screen. It did not improve the issue. I changed the plug too, same result.

  PS - I keep seeing that support here just redirects questions from the Asia-Pacific region at their Web site. There is no community online in Asia-Pacific. Please try to resolve my problem here. At least try.

  Had a chat with Sony Online service. I am posting this here in case someone else has the same problem.

  If the menu entry keeps popping up, just press and hold the menu behind the LCD (not on remote) button for 10-15 seconds until a message arrives "demo mode: Off '.

  This solved my problem.
