• YouTube videos start button disappeared and does not start

  some videos won't play on Youtube, they display only a black screen without a start button. A solution that I read was to uninstall/reinstall Firefox, but I really don't want to lose all my modules and extensions and having to start all over again! Other solutions to this problem?

  You have some different add-ons that could affect Youtube, Adblock Plus and DoNotTrackMe and 5 different downloaders works. Could you try to create exceptions for youtube.com in Adblock Plus and DoNotTrackMe to see if that makes a difference?

  Try the Options buttons for these extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

  In the left column, click Extensions.

  In addition, Adblock Plus is now a lot more up-to-date as the ad blocker updated for Firefox 11 +, so you can delete this one.

• My Start button is missing.

  The Start button is missing in my taskbar.  I am able to press the Windows button on my keyboard to make it appear a start menu, but only things in the Start Menu are three programs and work station.  Other items that can be in it are now gone.  The taskbar is there, but not there at the same time.  There the launch fast and other elements in the corner.  But I can not put the taskbar upwards or downwards or right click on it.  When I open customize the office and try to pass the taskbar and Start Menu from there, this window does not load.

  I was worried it was a virus and I tried to run the malware bytes to search all threats.  Malware bytes failed due to an expansion of error and not being able to find a file.  I went to the forum malware bytes and discovered that these errors are due to the start is not.  Just to make sure of were not viruses, I ran combofix to check if there was malicious files on my computer and it found nothing.

  I suspected that there may be a hardware problem, a bad sector on the hard drive.  I ran a check disk before commissioning, diagnosis of hard disk by the BIOS and I got my hands on the recovery disk and checked another hard drive.  No errors not found on the hard drive.

  I tried to run the system restore, but it fails to restore from any restore point that I use.

  I decided to give up and reinstall Vista on my laptop, but I got my laptop preload in my degree and I am a graduate for a long time and my product ID does not work.  I decided to upgrade to Windows 7, but I could not find the download link for Windows 7 Enterprise (I currently run Vista Enterprise).

  I now return to the first step, to try to determine a) why my Start button disappeared and b) what can I do about it.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  my taskbar and start button does not appear when I start my computer. Later, I can't get to the control panel.

  Looks like you have your taskbar set to autohide.  If Yes, press Win - or Ctrl-Esc.   Or you could just bring up the run... dialog box by pressing Win - R to run control.exe

  Less likely you can see a case where explorer.exe is not running.   In this case, you can always open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.   So, then you could restart explorer.exe using the file Task Manager, new task... command.   Or again, just start that way control.exe, if it was really what you wanted to do.

• tab close buttons disappear when launching another application URL

  When a new tab is opened via the launch of a URL to another application on Windows (for example Outlook), the close tab buttons disappear, even with only two tabs. Carefully, grabbing the right window border and drag * inside * (i.e. the window make narrower), the buttons suddenly appear on all the tabs, which illustrates that it is not a problem with the tab widths.

• No 'Use Word 2010 Starter' button after followng HP instructions to uninstall. Now what?

  I have a HP Pavillion desktop (p7-1010) running Windows Home Premium 64 bit. It came with the Microsoft Word Starter 2010 edition installed, I used without problem since I bought the (new) PC.

  A few days ago, I started having a message that WINWORDC.exe was download a required feature and don't be surprised if Word seemed not to answer. Sometimes, the message looks like there was a problem with the Internet connection then try again.

  I found and followed the instructions to http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02981221 who told me how to attempt a repair. The repaor has failed. After that, I could not run Word starter at all - the logon banner would hang and say download Microsoft Word Starter 2010 (99%). This message has never disappeared.

  I rebooted a few times to be sure.

  The HP page also gave instructions to find out how uninstall the Starter edition - with a caveat that you need to be sure, the head office was installed - and then reinstall. Given that the Manager has been installed on my PC, I uninstalled and then, when I followed the instructions on how to re - install, the button I had to click on (something like 'Use Word 2010 Starter' wasn't there.  Now, I have no way to use Word - starter or otherwise.

  I assumed HP instructions were good. Don't think.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you. It will be a few days before I can spend more time on this, but I appreciate the help.

  If someone at HP monitors this forum, HP must remove or update the offending article which says the word of the use (or was it office) Start button will be available after uninstalling start until Office Manager option is installed.

  Because if the article or document belongs to HP, then update is not a problem.  I note it to those responsible for its maintenance.

  The question that you may be an exception, because at some point in the past may have clicked on the button use Office 2010 Staerer. Who is likely to have (grayed out) off the button. Have you noticed if it was present before you uninstalled Office Starter via the Microsoft Manager program?
