• Explorer.exe takes more than 90% of the CPU when I opened start > menu programs

  IM using Vista Ultimate with Aero theme. I am a single user of this computer. When I open Start-> programs menu, an explorer.exe process takes 90% and more CPU resources and remains to be done (even if I don't move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard) until I close the menu programs. What continues?

  Hello Serresjio I can almost guarantee you that the troubleshooting steps will flip over as soon as you start back. my suggestion is if possible, remove the hard drive and the scanner on another computer with Malware Bytes Anti Malware, Avast! Antivirus and Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG etc. (all updates of course). usually, I use this method when everything has failed. Don't be too surprised boyfriend so often that I have a USB-(e sata, 1394, 2.5"/5.25 IDE) converter for the toughest jobs.

  Everything do you to not lose hope and format as most of the people do. I have corrected problems of windows than most irreparable thought technicians. It's just a matter of removing the cause and repair the damaged windows files. the problem can be solved the difficulty is just to use the proper tools/software. Lately I use Avast and MBAM with 100% recovery. It IS not JUST a single unrecoverable machine!

• Empty the program file on the start menu

  The program in my Start menu file is completely empty. I have no idea where the files that were there disappeared. I see a lot of them when I open the C"" drive. How to make their return in the program file?

  Check to see if you can locate your program under C:\Documents and Settings\ files\Start Menu\Programs.

• Start Menu problem

  the "Start" icon on my laptop automatically changed the type of classic view. I looked in the settings to start menu int "taskbar and start menu appearance properties ' and the selection was in the normal display - not the classic view. I tried to change to Classic view and return to the normal display, but the appearance on my screen is still the classic version.

  I think that the change occurred after I installed updates from the windows update, and then I uninstalled to see if it changes back - no effect.

  Try a system restore

  2. click on the tab Start Menu and then click Customize.

  3. in the Customize the Start Menu dialog box, click use the default settings, and then click OK.

  If this does not work, you can create a new user account and see if it helps.

  2. click on Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. click on create a new account.

  4 type the name that you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click create an account.

  If it works you can copy files to the new user profile.

• Opening of the "Documents" on the start menu

  When I select 'documents' on the right side of the start menu and then click twice on the doc to open it, I get an error message that the requested doc not be found.  However, if I open the MS Office application (Word or Excel) and then go to open the document, there is no problem.  How can I fix the problem of not being able to open the start menu?  This device worked well for a long time, but the end does not work correctly.

  Right-click on the Documents icon and check the path on the general tab.  Does say "C:\Users\?  Otherwise, click on the location tab and type the appropriate path and click OK, and then see if the process works.

  You can also open Documents by clicking on the Start Menu on your name and user then scroll on the left side to the Documents and then clicking on it to open it on the right side.  If you do so, the same problem occurs with the impossibility of finding the requested document?  It doesn't work anywhere in Windows Explorer, but works in real-world applications?  Have you tried other types of files outside the Office (as a PDF)?  The same problem occur?

  If this is the case, it looks like there may be something wrong with the Windows Explorer.

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  Make a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929135?p=1 and see if the problem persists.  Otherwise, follow the procedures in the article to find the program/process causing the problem and either remove or uninstall.  Don't forget to put your system in normal condition when done as explained in the article.

  Boot mode safe (repeatedly clicking the F8 key during the boot process until the menu appears) and see if the problem exists in this mode.  Please post back and let us know that this information is important to track the cause (regardless of the outcome).

  Your user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered. If that doesn't work, then let's try to check your hard disk for corruption and system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope this helps.  Please post back and let us know in all cases (and if the problem persists - try to include the answers to the question asked above).  If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to post back.

  Good luck!

• After installation of the parental control my Start Menu will not open

  I have recently installed Windows live family safety on my computer. After I've set up and he began to monitor user accounts, I found that the start menu will not open and when you navigate in Explorer, records that contain a large amount of files I can't navigate to files that lie near the bottom, as it keeps jumping to the top of the page.

  It is without doubt parental control that is causing the problem as the uninstall it sorts the problem. I ran SFC/scannow, a cmd in normall, and safe mode prompt and it doesn't find any errors

  . I had this same problem when I got the laptop in November and a successful to fall on a difficulty at the time (to install the resource from Dell that CD somehow fixed?), but now that either doesn't work or it was a coincidence that the problem has been resolved at the same time, it seemed however to solve the problem on some laptops that I worked at the time.

  I had to reset the laptop back to factory settings (ironically due to a system error that prevented the family of work safety!) I also tried a replair nothing works facility. When I installed Essentials I selected only parental controls must be installed.

  I am now at my wits end, I do not understand how a piece of Windows software is make a significantly Windows operating system!

  The installer I used was version 15.4.3555.308, is there a more up-to-date this solve the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

• After the awakening of the mode standby, Thunderbird crashes if the start menu of windows 10 is open RESOLVED in version 38.3.0

  If I have Thunderbird up and then I put windows in sleep mode, when I come back once again, the start menu in Windows 10 appears automatically (can someone tell me how to stop this?). If I click anywhere on the screen menu start disappears and everything works fine, but if I forget to do it and for example, double-click on an email to open it, Thunderbird and then freezes. If I close Thunderbird and re-open he, she, then it brings up the email that I had clicked on, so he must have tried to open it while it was frozen.
  This isn't a big problem, just annoying bloom. Don't know if it's a problem of Windows 10 or Thunderbird. If someone can tell me how to stop start menu from popping up automatically, it wouldn't solve the problem, but it would be at least!

  Version 38.3.0 is now available. Resolve the problem?

• Intel Pentium 4 CPU: my problem is in my Start menu when I go to open a program, he said that "the parameter is incorrect."

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post on Start menu problems launching apps and wanted to help.

  As test, open one of the shortcuts on the desktop by right-clicking on it and choosing Properties.

  There is a box of the target, and there you will see the full path to the program file.  The file name must end with ".exe" write the full path to the bottom.

  Then open Windows Explorer, and using the information that you noted, navigate to the folder that contains this file.

  When you find the file, double click it and see if it starts.

  If so, the shortcut is "broken" and you need to replace it.  To do this, a right-click on the same file again and you should be the ability to create a shortcut.  Once created, drag that shortcut to your desktop.

  If the file does not launch, it probably means that it is corrupt.

  Try this with several other files.  If all fail, it means that you have file system corruption.

  And I think at this point there would be that your hard drive has failed - due to age and wear.

  Because it is almost impossible to find even XP these days, you will have to seriously consider replacing this PC with something more recent.

  Sorry, but the PC does not last forever.
  
  Good luck

• Do not open the Menu start XP programs

  I have an embarrassing question on which I could use some suggestions.

  I have a user whose start menu does not work properly.  She can click on start and cascade through the menu to any program, but when she clicks on the program to start it, delete the start menu and nothing happens.

  In the taskbar, it cannot switch between programs.

  Programs will launch quick launch as planned.

  On his desk, she can click on folders or shortcuts and that they work as expected.

  I copied the folder to the start menu to his office, and she is able to switch between open programs using the Alt - Tab key combination.  It has the features between these two solutions.  But, although other users do not start to his computer often, it affects all users.  I would like to find a solution.

  With respect to the environment and the measures taken:

  The operating system is Windows XP, Service Pack 3.  Yes, there are 3rd party applications.  A lot of them.  No, they cannot be deleted (and they are not suspects - later).  It is an environment of large companies in the financial sector and is highly regulated.  User authentication is via Active Directory.  The desktop environment is tightly controlled by the restriction of administrative rights and Group Policy objects.  This user and users in its region use roaming profiles.

  I have rebuilt the user profile (Yes, two copies - the and itinerant) more than once.  No effect.

  I have reimagee the computer of the user more than once.  It will work as expected for a few minutes, sometimes all day, but the issue will be back.

  I replaced the machine.  It will work as expected for a few minutes, sometimes all day, but the issue will be back.

  I replaced the machine in tandem with a reconstruction of profile.  It will work as expected for a few minutes, sometimes all day, but the issue will be back.

  It can connect to any other machine in its region and they all work as expected.  The machines are all the same image.  That's why the 3rd party applications are not suspected.  That's why his profile is not a suspect.

  So.  His profile is very good.  Its hardware is fine.  The image is stable.  The rest is its connection to the local network, but I have a hard time believing that something in its routing path might be the cause.

  I'm open to suggestion.

  Thank you

  Tommy
