  Welcome to the community!

  Can you confirm the version of your ReadyNAS unit HW? It could have been labeled as ReadyNAS V2, but it could be a V1. Send me a PM with S/N so I can check.

• Cannot access the Start Menu - 6 Ultra

  I realize there are other threads on this problem but mine is a little diiferent.

  I just replaced memory in both my Ultra 6 s. The steps were:

  Ultra unit has

  Deletion of records

  New memory installed

  A run the memory test (past)

  Replacement discs

  Fact

  Ultra B

  Deletion of records

  New memory installed

  Could not access the Start Menu to run a memory test.

  Shared memory of unit A and B of the unit (with 'good' memory)

  Could not access the Boot Menu

  Blank placed in drive B and turned on.

  Could not access the Boot Menu

  Disk spent

  Has started doing a factory reset to unit B

  I pulled the plug when I saw "pending RAIDar.

  So it seems to B unit works fine except that I can't access the Start Menu.

  I guess that the reset button does not work on Unit B or is it possibly caused by something else?

  Here is my MAIN question:

  What should I expect when I put the original disks to unit B?

  I noticed that Studio B was assigned to a new IP address, so I'm a little unsure of what to expect.

  Ah, that could be just a bad reset button.

  More of a problem of operating systems XP and how to bind the program files for the new version

  My system was not properly initialize (continulally reseting) to repair the fault that I had to make a form of repair of the windows installation CD. I now have version 2 of the windows XP operating system (host1 and windows 2) on my computer. Windows 2 is the version that works (constantly does not restart) ok, but all my program files, documents, etc. are still linked to the old version (windows 1) and therefore do not apear in the start menu.

  It seems that you have reinstalled Windows XP on a different partition. In this case, you will not be able to use the installer on another.

  You will need to reinstall all the programs on the new facility and also, redo the settings.

After Installation the problem is that when I go to start and all programs folder menus and switch to this folder the last installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, the program shows as empty folder. I can't run anything in the menu start all programs. Other small programs that I installed, I was able to start the program to find the exe to start and worked with it by starting the program example start.exe start.

  Hello

  Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

  Method 1:

  I suggest to start the computer in Mode safe mode with network and check if the problem occurs. If the problem does not occur in Mode safe mode with networking and then you try to perform the clean boot to find what startup item or service is causing the problem.

  Step 1: To restart in Mode safe mode with networking enabled:
  (a) reboot your computer.
  (b) when you see the logo of the manufacturer of the computer, press on and hold the F8 key.
  (c) on the screen Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to Select Safe Mode with networkand press enter.
  account d) log your computer with a user who has of administrator rights.

  Reference: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  If the problem does not occur in safe mode with network you try to perform the clean boot.

  Step 2: Perform the clean boot.
  
  By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, try the procedure described and check if that helps.

  Step 1: Rebuild the icon Cache

   
  a. open the Folder Options to select (round), display the hidden files and folders.
  b. open a Windows Explorer window.
  c. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
  d. right-click on IconCache.db and click Remove.
  e. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
  NOTE: This removes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
  f. close the window.
  g. empty the Recycle Bin.
  h. restart the computer.
  i. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
  NOTE: If for some reason any IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed much, then just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
  j. the icon cache has been rebuilt.
  k. open Folder Options for select (round) show not the hidden files and folders.
   Step 2: Reset the icon Cache
  a. right click on an empty area of the Office and click on Personalize.
  b. click the link display properties.
  c. under colors, select medium (16 bit) and click apply.
  NOTE: If you already have a medium (16 bit) selected, then select the highest (32-bit) instead. Sometimes, you will have to do a reboot first, then go to step 4. Try both ways.
  d. click on Yes to confirm the new setting.
  
  e. now, Select the highest (32 bit) and click OK.
  NOTE: If you already have the highest (32 bit) selected, then select medium (16 bit).

• Post-it Note, Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder etc missing from the Start Menu

  Some integrated programs have suddenly disappeared in the folder 'Accessories' in the Start Menu, including sticky notes, Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder, and record Tablet PC Tools was empty too and maybe even more than programs that I do not know. (I don't know why this happened, the only reason why I can think of is maybe I fell a development of my antivirus program).

  I looked online for solutions, I tried:

  -Option unchecking and rechecked the "Tablet PC Tools' of the 'Turn Windows has or not', which bought only the programs in the Tablet PC Tools in the Start Menu folder, but not the Post-it Notes and other

  -Restore to an earlier point, but did not work

  -Enter sfc/scannow in the command prompt but it has said is that Windows has no problems of integrity or something after scanning and solves nothing

  The programs are always there, I found 3 of them in C:/Windows/System32 as exe files and they work from there, but they just will not be displayed in the Start Menu or when I do a search. I don't know what else is missing. Is it possible to bring them back in the start menu? Would be fixed it with a factory reset? - but I don't really want to do a factory reset, unless I am out of options.

  Help would be much appreciated!

  A factory reset would, but that's certainly an exaggeration just to restore shortcuts.

• In Windows 7, after the application of SP1, I can no longer access my phone book from the start menu or use the search function.

  I just applied SP1.  Until I applied this update that everything worked as I expected.

  Since then, whenever I type anything in the search on the start menu, there is no result.  The only exception to this is that if I type in a full path, for example "C:\Program Files\", how I get a list of files in that directory.  If I type in everything that is not a path, as for example the letter p or the word 'paint', told me that "no element not corresponding to your research."

  If I click 'more results', I get an error with a big red x box.  The legend is "search query: = paint", for example if I searched for painting.  The text is "Windows cannot find ': search query = painting '.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I wasn't expecting this error box, but rather a window with a list of search results.

  I have downloaded and run the troubleshooter of research - Mats_Run.search.exe.  It tells me that no errors have been detected and gave me the option to reset the search.  I did this, then waited a whole day to search for re - index, but the results are the same.
  In addition, after reading a few other questions on the microsoft Web site, I've done different things which seem to as they should not work - I have turned me folder, active random registry settings options, etc..  Indeed, none of these things had an impact or shows something unusual.
  Also, I can access is no longer my home directory from the start menu.  If I click on my user name that appears in the upper right corner of the menu start, the start menu closes and nothing happens.
  There are a few other circumstances where I can't reach my directory.  For example, if I have an Explorer pointed toward a library, say "Downloads", if I click on my user name in the breadcrumb path, he will remain in the directory downloads instead of going to my home folder, as I expect.  Also, if I click on my user name in the Favorites list in the left pane of the Explorer, I would expect the Explorer window to access my home folder.  Instead, he remains in the folder where he currently resides.
  As I said earlier, before applying the update it worked as expected.
  Thanks a lot for your time!

• In the start-up procedure, how can I remove "press ESC to access the Start Menu" when the machine hangs at the HP logo screen?

  Hello

  I am running 64 Win7HP on a laptop HP dv3, processor Core 2 Duo 4 GB DDR2 Ram, 320 GB HD, just as it came out of the box when purchased directly from HP replaced EXCEPT Vista OS with 64bits Win7HP.  Machine worked fine until the LAST update of Windows, where during the reboot, I got to the HP logo screen and in the lower left corner of the screen appeared the statement (for THE FIRST TIME) "Press ESC for the Start Menu."  Pressing Esc translates into another command "press Esc...".  Break. " When you press ESC, you get a black screen until the machine goes to sleep UNLESS you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete. If you press the 3 key combo, it will continue to start and brings you to the screen of your password for access and then operate nicely, until you turn off the system. So, how can I get rid of the superfluous instructions and get this thing here where he turns and goes directly to the screen of password without intermediate steps?  Restore points are long since gone for immediate access to the front last Win Update.
  The answer may be simple, but until now it has escaped my low range.  Any help is appreciated.
