Problem with the taskbar and the Start - Menu icons broken shortcuts and icons 'White Pages '.

I'm having a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit where all the icons outside of a couple in my in my Start menu and task bar have all lost their icons (and are now blank white pages) and clicking on their displays the screen where you choose which program to open the. Files with the INK.
I tried to empty the cache icon, but it has no effect. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are ways to fix file associations, but I would recommend first trying to use the system restore to 'back in time' before the beginning of the question.  Don't worry, the system restore does not cause you to lose all the files, emails, photos, etc.

    Hello

    This could be due to a virus or infection of malware on the computer or problems with the Database Cache icon on the computer. I wish I had this information to better understand:

    (1) have you run an analysis using software registry cleaner on your computer recently?

    (2) what antivirus application do you use on your computer?

    Refer to these methods in the order in which they are presented, and check the status of the issue.

    Method 1:

    Run the difficulty of following article and see if it helps:

    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/system_maintenance_for_windows/

    Method 2:

    These types of problems occur sometimes due to the infection by the virus in the computer. You can scan your computer from a Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Satellite U400 - 10L: problem with the start-up & reboot

    Hello

    Well I don't like much about the touchpad overheating but I have a problem. When I restart this mobo instead of activate after a reboot it stays black without any reaction only lower diods, dvd - rom and the display flashes (can't hear fan or hard drive).

    If I press the power button / stop all the icons of diod (ac, pwr, hdd bat) shine up just for a second and new (can't hear the fan hard drive or cpu) computer does not turn on. All this happened only when AC cable is connected to the power if I use just notebook power source battery boots and restart without problems.

    If I remove battery completely from the laptop, once more, I get the same symptoms (cannot start). And the saddest part of this story is the fact that I got brand new Toshiba U400 10 L to the seller and got a new.
    It has the exact same problem.
    As you all probably understand im crazy because in the last two days, I tried really everything, including the BIOS without flashing and the success.

    Well im not sure whats going on, but this could be the problem with the battery or a bad contact?
    Any ideas?
    I would return it back?

    Thanks much for the reply

    Hello

    The behavior of your laptop is really strange and I suppose it might be bound only to a hardware problem.

    A friend of mine couldn't t start the laptop connected to the AC adapter the power adapter is faulty. It was only possible to start Notepad using the battery, and only if the battery was not completely empty.

    I put t know if your AC adapter failures but the authorized service provider should definitely check out the laptop and accessory for laptop (AC adapter).

    Then call the ASP in your country and ask the technicians for later handling.

  • Problem with the start of VMware ESXi 5.0

    I just installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on a new Cisco UCS B200 series blade with two 300 GB hard drives configured in a RAID 1 mirror.  I went through and completed the installation of VMware ESXi 5.0 on this server.  When the installation is complete and the server restarted, he did not initiate the ESXi where I can change the IP address and VLAN.  Instead, I get this text string after the initial boot sequence that is shown in the attachment.  I have a guest who said Shell > do not know why I can not start correctly in ESXi 5.0.  Thank you!  Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    Looks like you boot to the EFI shell. What is the startup policy that you have configured on this server service profile? It should look like the one below.  If there is a problem with the boot order, you should be able to type "EXIT", then enter on the EFI shell to exit the prompt. If your startup is similar to the one below and you still experience this issue, try to downgrade and re - ack the blade.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Cannot remove a program from the start menu icon

    Original title: icons in the Start Menu;. Cannot delete the program start menu icon to remove/uninstall, need help?

    S pie Menu icons; Ghost of icons

    I deleted a program and uninstalled completely, but the program icon always appears in the start menu.  I was not able to remove the icon. Right-clicking on the icon simply freezes the start menu for several minutes. I was able to remove from the desktop.

    I tried the Program Data > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > programs > but the icon.

    I had this problem before, but I just do not remember how I fixed it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Kevin, thanks for responding.

    The program was the Vuze, and I managed to get rid of the icon.  By a right click and do not move the mouse and wait 5 minutes eventualy box popped up and I was able to remove the icon from the start menu.

    The solution was a lot of patience.

    Please help us well!

    p.s. I ran various software cleaning, like glary utilities, ccleaner and reboot several times.

  • Webview from landscape orientation to portrait mode causes the font size to become smaller and a problem with the context Menu

    Hi, I have a webview with inline html. It works fine except that when I pass in landscape mode, the screen fills fine and the police grows, but when I go back to portrait fonts are tiny, even smaller then when initially in the portrait. I am installing this on a Z10 with cascades 10.1 SDK. Is this a Bug somewhere in the SDK or BB10?

    Another problem I have is in Web mode, the shortcut menu appears when I touch a Word. I is no need to use the context menu. How can I get rid of him. In the case where I would like to someday use this menu, I would need to add code to it. I can't find the code. Where can I find it?

    Thanks for your help

    Concerning

    Roland

    I' to propose taying far WebView as much as possible and using TextArea (with type HTML). There are still a few bugs present in WebView that make it unpleasant to use.

    You cannot get rid of the context menu, so it will disappear once you remove WebView. You can still share with other methods.

    This may seem more work and it's probably, but it's going to do to improve the user experience and fewer headaches for you.

  • Problems with the 'start' button and the size of the video in the program monitor

    I was on TSF phone Adobe Help for about 3 1/2 hours today.  The problem is that the video in the program monitor doesn't fit - even when I checked it to 'fit '.  I have a mac - totally up top date, and film imported from my canon 7 d, I turned to 1280 x 720.  When I created a new project with the same, the image in the program monitor is too big.  When I create a new project in 1280 X 1080 image is too small - even when I click on 'adjust '.  Also, sometimes the play button doesn't work everything simply.  Help, they managed to get rid of my twice - preferences to no help at all, "clean up" my hard drive and the problems still continue.  They then tell me in order for me to go to the second layer, I want to buy a contract.  Can someone help me! Lose my mind! Thank you.

    What's happened is that you have created a sequence with the wrong settings.  Right-click has created a sequence with the correct settings.
