Something has happened to the "programs" list when I click on 'start '.

Lasst Saturday when I was on the computer, I must have done something - I have no idea what - but all my icons disappeared and when I click on start and then all programs - all programs that have been missing there. I tried everything I can thru & assistance. It doesn't let me do a "System Restore" back in the day where the night before, he started. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi KimBrusenhan,
 
-What exactly happens when you try to perform the system restore? You receive an error message or error code? If Yes, indicate the same.
-What version of Service Pack of Windows XP you are using?
 
These problems occur if the value of the Start Menu common registry entry is inaccessible or if the value is not valid. In this case, Windows XP cannot initialize the shell program.
 
Method 1: Try this method and check if it helps to fix the problem:
Connection to an account administrator and do the following:
 
a. Click Start. Click run.
b. type the following command and press ENTER:
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
 
 
Method 2: If you use the version of Windows XP Service Pack 2, then download and install the hotfix from the link below and see if the problem is resolved.
 
 
If you use the version of Windows XP Service Pack 1 or 2, I recommend you to upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 3 version that will improve the reliability of Windows by installing the software - new drivers for hardware updates and much more.

  • Most of my installed programs is not listed when you click on programs.

    Original title: lack of programs

    I am running vista professional.  When I click on all programs. most of my installed programs may not be listed.

    In this case, I would try to determine if the programs are always installed at all (and perhaps only shortcuts are missing).

    To find, you can consult the Program Files folder by clicking on start > computer, then opening your C: drive, then the Program Files folder to explore.

    If the programs are there, you can create new shortcuts for them. Although some programs that can make it difficult.

    A simpler solution may be trying to restore to an earlier date even, or reinstall programs.

    Until recently, I couldn't download apps from the store Windows on my PC in Windows 8. Even when I try to download free applications, I get the following error message:

    "Your purchase could not be executed. Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase. "Error code: 0x8086000c.
    Why is this happening?

    People,
    I had a similar problem.  Here's what I did to solve the program:
    Create a new user on Windows 8 with a microsoft account.
    When I connected, applications have been downloaded and I have confirmed that they are working.
    I logged on my original account (which was a local account).
    I followed the above suggestions of Mohammed Somasundaram.
    I logged in the windows via a browser (so not the app store) store.
    I uninstalled one of the applications (for example DRIVE).  Then, through the store (via web browser), I looked for "READER" and then install hit.  This launches the APP STORE and I was able to install it.
    I repeated the last step for each application (took a little time), but now they all work.
    Good luck.
  • Something has happened and this app could not be installed.

    I have a HP ENVY 20 new with Windows 8. I have the Netflix app in the start screen of a user, but when I go to my daughter's account, it is not in the start screen or when I check "all apps". If I access the Windows store, it is said the Netflix app is already owned by account of my daughter and I can't install it.

    In the app Store for Windows, there are 5 pending updates, including Netflix. The complete list is Skype, Kindle, Netflix, Norton Studio and recording of HP. All of them fail to install in on behalf of my daughter with the below error:

    Something has happened and this app could not be installed. Please try again. Error code: 0x800700b7.

    It's really disturbing not only because it makes the computer unusable because the main objective, that it was acquired (Netflix for my daughter) but also because the error messages are completely useless. Could not find a clue to what is wrong.

    Hoping that the moderator of Microsoft is able to provide advice to solve this problem as soon as possible.

    Thank you

    There's something weird going?  I finally got my apps install but I have to jump through hoops to do it.

    Try this and see if it works.

    1. Go to the store and select applications to install (with me, they all failed)
    2. Right click near the top of the screen and a menu bar will go down.
    3. Click on "your Apps".  Now, you will see a list of the applications you want to install.
    4. Click the button at the bottom, click the button install.
    5. Quickly, click on the link in the upper right that shows "install...". »
    6. Before installing, click on one (' preference who appeared at the origin of evil ' and click on 'Pause'.)
    7. Now, with a single application pause, check to see if you can now install others.

    For some reason, I can't get installed apps if I have an app paused.  After that the applications installed, I can un-pause that I've paused and install this one.

    I have no idea what's going on here, but has worked for me several times now.

  • When I click on the program 101xD and then click on Counter Strike 1.6, there is "hl.exe - Entry Point not found" error

    And because he 101xD not injected in cs 1.6. Why? How can I solve this problem?
    PS 101xD is a cheat for counterstrike 1.6.

    Hi Ivars,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Looks like Counter Strike 1.6 is not compatible with the Windows 8 operating system from the link:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win8/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Type=Software&Name=Counter%20Strike&Vendor=Valve&ModelOrVersion=1&Locale=1033&BreadcrumbPath=counter%20strike%201.6%20&tempOsid=win8

    1 have you ever done any recent hardware or exchange of software on your computer before the show?

    2. When was the last time, it was working fine?

    I suggest you to uninstall the game and install it in Windows 7 compatibility mode by following the steps:

    Step 1:

    Follow these steps to uninstall the game.

    a. press on keys Windows + X to your keyboard, then select Control Panel.

    b. Select uninstall a program

    c. Select Counter-strike 1.6 in the list and choose Uninstall.

    Step 2:

    Follow the steps to install in compatibility mode:

    a. setting up the game file right click and select Properties and then tap or click on the compatibility tab.

    b. check the box run this program in compatibility mode .

    c. press or click the menu drop down and select a previous operating system, and then tap or click OK.

    For reference:

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows

    If the problem persists, then I suggest you to post the same question in the Forums of community counter-strike for the link:
