Search functions and help and Support does not properly in the start menu

If I click search on the start menu, it opens with a small dog who sits down and nothing else. If I click on help and Support, I see the hour glass for a nano second and then nothing happens.

My search function is back (with my dog).  Seems to have come back after re-installation of XP Pro.  However I have other problems re: my post today.

  • Windows Fax and Scan does not appear in the start menu

    : I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to (a) send faxes via a modem local fax and b scan docs from a local scanner. I mean, there should be a program Windows fax and scan shown in the start menu. I clicked all programs on the start menu, and it doesn't always show. Suggestions?

    From: Hal

    Fax and scan is available in Windows Vista Business and Ultimate editions, it is not available in any of the Windows Vista Home editions.  Since you have a version of Windows Vista Edition family, the only option of fax is a third-party product.  These products work under Windows Vista:

    Snappy Fax

    RKSFax

    I have seen reports that the free version of BVRP also works with Windows Vista:

    http://www.usr.com/BVRP/bvrp.asp

    BVRP PhoneTools

    Given the above comes with the new USR modem, I don't know if it will work with no - USR modems.  Alternatively, you can send faxes via your Internet connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E - Fax service:

  • After the installation of Windows Virtual PC on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit system it does not appear in the start menu. How can I fix this so that I can run Windows XP in Windows Virtual PC?

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit running on an Intel i7 2600 system with an ASUS P8P67 motherboard.  Intel virtualualization has been enabled in the bios.  Windows XP mode has been installed on the system and the operating system has been updated with Service Pack 1.  Windows Virtual PC has been downloaded and installed, but does not appear in the start menu in the programs list. Now download for Windows Virtual PC will not allow to install another, nor that the first installation can be uninstalled because it is not on the list of programs. Virtual PC folder of Windows in the Program Files x 86 folder has only a folder with two files integration components; IntegrationCompnents.iso and Precompact.iso.

    It should be in the menu... Virtual PC / XP Mode or something. I don't know, I don't use win7 atm

  • New hard drisk does not appear in the start menu

    Original title: how to install windows vista again portable hard drive

    Hai I bye a hard disk for my computer laptop is 550 HP Seriers notebook, because my previous hard disk have complaints, but when I corrected this hard drive in the laptop the start menu does not display of hardisk why?

    Hello

    1. you have a single hard drive connected to the computer?

    The issue could be related to the physical connection of the hard disk, I would suggest that you check the physical connection of the hard drive and check if that helps. You can also get in touch with the manufacturer for details on the connection.

    The issue could also be tied to the BIOS settings. You can get in touch with the computer manufacturer for help with the BIOS settings.

    Note:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Windows Update under XP Professional 64 bit icon has changed and does not work in the Start Menu

    I didn't want to be informed of updates to two-day but inadvertently somehow I am struck back for all notifications.

    Windows Update icon turned blue light with an i or an exclamation mark inside. When I click it, nothing happens. I can access the automatic updates in Control Panel to change the settings, but I still don't get the notifications.

    How to make it all back please?

    PS, I can always access updates through http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us , but I don't want to do that.

    Thanks Robear & Diana. I'll keep your suggestions for the future Win XP 64-bit installations. I just gritted my teeth bought & installed Windows 7 64-bit. Problem solved.

  • Firefox does not appear on the start menu until I type the whole word in the search box of start.

    Original title:

    Search ranking

    I like to use research to launch programs - press the windows key, type "ste" press on enter and steam launches, for example.  However, for firefox, I have to type the whole word.  Is there a way to define the search so that when I type "fire" or even "tree" firefox is the first element of the research?

    Also of note – is Firefox used to come as the first item of research when I typed "fire", but now it is not even detected until I type the word in full. What could have changed to do this, and how I can solve this problem (for as far as I know that I didn't change the search options or other parameters that could lead to this).
    Thank you

    Hello

    1. the problem occurs only with Firefox?

    2. If you type the initial letters of the other/a a different program if it appears?

  • Attachable Script does not properly at the start of the AE

    Hello. I have a script that begins with the collection and storage of the layers in the actively selected comp. After that the code is all the script dockable user interface code. Running the script with a project already open AE works very well. But if I restart AE with the embedded script, it returns an error (line 4), because it cannot access any comps or layers. It will not load the UI even after that it displays the error message. Is there a known way to fix this problem? Thank you!

    var extraVar;
    var currentComp = app.project.activeItem;
    var numberLayers = currentComp.numLayers;
    var dropdownLayers = new Array();
    var dropdownLayersNames = new Array();
    var selectedLayer;
    
    
    for(var i = 1; i <= numberLayers; i++){
        dropdownLayers.push(currentComp.layer(i));
        dropdownLayersNames.push(i +". " + currentComp.layer(i).name);
        }
    
    
    
    
    //dockable UI code

    ss+(2016-07-23+at+02.30.43).png

    To check if the currentComp is really a model before using it:

    var currentComp = app.project.activeItem;
    if(currentComp instanceof CompItem){
         // do what you want to do with currentComp
    }
    else {
         // no comp selected currently
    }
    

    Also, you should probably restructure your script as she retrieves the model, thicknesses, etc. only after the user clicked on a button.
