Sleep Option grayed out in the Start Menu

• Stop and run option is missing from the Start Menu.

  Original title: Administrator group of experts.

  On the Admin Panel when I want to close I normally press start and the "closing". However the button turn off disappeared and only shows button "quit". In addition the 'run' button is gone as well. How to restore it back to normal?

  It will help with these situations... and, this lesson, I've added a few new commands to my answer of registry file generic copy/paste for these kinds of things:

  If you see things like this:

  You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
  The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
  System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
  The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
  The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
  The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

  If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

• 4EA2 'RUN' is grayed out in the contextual menu for the SYS package

  I am running in a database of Oracle 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production of 64-bit environment.

  I use the version of SQL Developer release Early Adopter 2 4.

  SQL Developer 3.2, while it is connected to a specfic scheme, it was possible in the Connections window, expand the menu item from other users, so the SYS menu item, then the PACKAGES menu item and select a package, and using the context menu 'run '. ' Run PL/SQL ' window would appear, and I could enter the appropriate settings and run a procedure in this package. I think in particular of the DBMS_ERRLOG package.

  In 4EA2, following the same path, the command "Run", well visible, is grayed out. The combination of keys "Ctrl + F10" alternative works. Please restore the "Run" command in the active state (not greyed out) in the context menu.

  Hi wine,

  Perhaps the scenario you describe is the same as a bug fixed for EA3:

  Bug 17601294 - LOW PRIV USER CANNOT RUN the PACKAGE IN the SCHEMA STRANGER WITH EXECUTE PRIV

  A small detail of the test case it (nothing mentioned about Ctrl-F10, however):

  1. create user ONLY CONNECT, RESOURCES, SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE.
  2 Grant EXECUTE on a package in another schema.
  3. navigate to the package in the tree view.
  4 run/run button is disabled.

  5. but this scenario works as expected in v3.2

  This close is enough?

  Kind regards

• New SSD, computer sleeps is no longer via the start menu

  An unusual question came after switching to a Solid State Drive.  Before this problem did not exist.

  As it currently stands on that I can't put my computer on standby by clicking 'start' then 'sleep '.  However, I CAN put my computer to sleep by changing Power Options/edit Plan Settings/mis the computer in sleep: 1 min.
  Things I've tried:
  BIOS update, drivers etc. Vid card.
  Made sure the S3 has been enabled in the BIOS
  Unplug all external and USB devices
  Made sure that in the Advanced Options of the power that nothing was preventing the computer from sleep mode
  When I try to put my computer on standby menu start my screen turn off, and my wired mouse USB turns off lights.  Clicking in this semi State - sleep screens back on and the computer is ready for use.
  As I said, the only thing I changed was cloning of my HARD drive for an SSD, nothing else.
  System Spec: http://i.imgur.com/5Eb4d.jpg
  Thanks in advance and let me know if you need me to post any other relevant information.
  P.S. I worked on it for 3 hours and I use this forum as a last resort.

  Thanks for the suggestions, but I managed to solve it on my own.

  Here's what I did:
  1 Open command with administrator privileges prompt
  2. Type "powercfg.exe hibernate on" and press enter
  and that's all...
  I guess when I changed hard drives that sleep is lacking in a sort of hybrid sleep (fans and lights on), not the complete S3 state than I was used to.

• options missing from the start menu in the game of 4 elements

  When I get timed out at level 3 of the game, a window opens stating I can go to 'options' in the menu start and change fashion casual., except 'options' are not in the start menu.  I went to Playrix and Xbox, uninstalled and reinstalled the game and options is still missing in the menu.  Xbox gave me a toll-free number to use, but I thought I'd try first online help.

  Not sure why a program error would be referred to Xbox. It's something that was missing in the way of original game when it was out. This is not a conversion to windows games problem. Options disappeared forever...

• Cannot restore my laptop-"Repair my computer" not appearing is not in the start menu

  Once or twice in the past had to get my phone and it was an easy process thanks to the construction recovery option (computer repair) in the start menu (when you press F8 on the Toshiba screen), but now when I press F8 during the Toshiba screen and go to the boot options, there is no option to fix my computer. Fix my computer is usually the first option, but the first option is now "Start Windows in safe mode". Fix my computer disappeared! :(

  I think that the cause of my problem is that I started my laptop using my friend's windows startup disk when my computer would not start a month back. In fact, he got my laptop going again, but after starting my laptop, he told me that there is a problem with the start and he asked if I would like to repair and restart, I did. In addition, the windows startup disk, I used to start my laptop computer is a 64-bit version and my laptop has a 32-bit operating system. I don't know if that makes a difference.

  Could someone please help me by letting me know if there is anything I can do to get "Repair my computer" back. It is handy recover my computer when I want to just go back and get my laptop clocked in so it is better again.

  Short answer:
  There is nothing you can do about it except to include adjustments to plant again. I'm sorry. :(

• All the editing options appear disabled when you compose the message, impossible to copy & paste, etc they are grayed out in the menu and do not work in a mouse right click

  Change options - Undo, redo, copy, paste, paste without formatting work, is that they are shaded out in the Edit menu and do not work on the right click of the mouse. I disabled add ons, run in safe mode, go out and restarted but the problem persists. Can anyone help urgent please.

  Mine are greyed out until they can do something. So they're all gray until I have started typing, pasting is grayed if there is nothing on the Clipboard and copy / cut are gray until I have select something.

  Yours are always grey, even after doing these other things?

• I can still access my Manager tasks, Shut Down, restart, sleep, and Hibernate options went on the Start Menu After uninstalling Secure browser review.

  I recently downloaded Secure browser review for a test in Spanish for a class.  I uninstalled the program successfully, however I still can't access my Manager tasks, Shut Down, restart, sleep and Hibernate options went on the Start Menu.  Finally, before taking the test, my computer is always locked.  This means that whenever he 'slept' that I have to enter a password or use my HP SimplePass of fingerprint to unlock.  Now, it does not require a password, or it is not locked.

  I don't think SEB is not completely uninstalled, or he changed the settings on my computer and I can't figure out how to change their return.  Help, please!

• Why are most of my grayed out icons and my programs do not appear in all programs on the start menu?

  My computer crashed the other day. I returned with a system restore. I have scanned for viruses. Now most of my icons (computer desktop and folders) is grayed out. When I click on "all programs" in the start menu, none is listed even though they are still on my computer and still work.

  Hi homeWJ,

  Method 1

  See the Microsoft article below to download and install the fix, check if it helps.

  When you point to "Programs" on a Windows XP-based computer, the program list does not appear, or the list of programs is empty

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941248

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

• JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

  My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

  Hi, landonblaine:

  When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

  Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

  Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

  Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

• The option change username isn't appearing any more in the start menu

  Hello, I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit. After several months of normal use, the option change user (fast user switching) has disappeared from the start menu. Why he's missing out, and more importantly: is there a way to restore this feature? I'm not aware of any change in my system. Thank you.

  Hello Rami,

  I think that your answer should have worked but... I solved the problem already yesterday! The solution was restore the system to a previous restore point, but these, like last month, when the rapid change of user feature still worked. It took me a few minutes to do and my data were unchanged.
  It seems that the problem came from one of the Microsoft updates. I got the system configured for automatic updates and these are quite common. I have now disabled the automatic update option as the system is stable as is.

  Thanks a lot for your help.
