Start button does not work

I have a Toshiba laptop.  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7, using all the programs compatibility of Microsoft and Toshiba.  I got the green light and the message that Windows was installed correctly.  Now, however, my Start button does work only intermittently.  I reboot and reboot until he gives up and lets me access my programs.  This isn't something that happens because I did not start the computer place correctly.  Sometimes it stops after I used the computer for hours of work.

Hi chrisnjeanne,

1. you did it all change in software to the computer lately?
2 what happens when you click on the Start button?
3. press the windows keyboard and check.
4 I suggest you to update all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website.

  • "Back" button does not work with the latest version of any help?

    Hi, I use the latest version. When I go through the pages, I can not be able to return to previous pages. The back button does not work. When I click the back button, the same page, it's not coming back... Any help would be much appreciated!

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    You can click right back or front button to open the history list.

    You can hold down the left button of the mouse either back or next to the history tab list opens.

    The current active entry has a bullet in front of it.



    If you place an entry in the historic session with the mouse tab, so you see an arrow to the left pointing (rear) left or right (forward) to show the direction.

    You can left click on an item to open it in the tab active or middle-click or Ctrl, click on an entry in this list to open that link in a new tab, just as you can with the other links.

  • "back" button does not work and the home page does not display on startup

    My buttons next and previous no longer work. They show just gray and I cannot click on them.
    Also my home page does not appear when I launch firefox.
    I reinstalled firefox 4 and then I went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
    Don't know what to do anymore
    I just found out that when I opened a second window everything works well in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
    The same thing happens when I close both windows. The first window of my home page does not appear and the back button does not work, but the second window is operating normally. Including my home page.

    Try:

  • Why not Firefox 4.0 back button does not work since the homepage or google search?

    I've just upgraded to firefox 4.0 tonight, and the back button is not working properly of my homepage or certain types of google searches.

    I can reproduce this problem every time by following these steps:

    (1) open a new tab, and I get a blank page.
    (2) select the Home button. I find myself at http://www.google.com/ig
    (3) go to the address bar type in a new URI, and press return

    Now, I leave my home page and go to the new page, but I can't go back to my home page.

    Similar behavior happens if I do a search on google for the address of quick search in the upper right.

    (1) start a new tab.
    (2) enter a search term and press enter
    3) click on one of the links to research and you transition to the new page, but the back button does not work.

    It works fine if I do something like:
    (1) open a new tab.
    (2) enter google.com in the address bar and press to enter.
    (3) do a GOOGLES search arae.
    4) click a search result link.

    This works very well for me.

    In my case, I turn off the Add McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.3.1 and the problem goes away.

  • The jump button does not work on iPhone

    Skip to the next song button does not work on iPhone. When you press the jump key, instead of going to the next track or shuffle to the next song, he repeats / restarts the track that is currently playing. Even when the song ends, it starts all over. It's like all my songs are stuck on repeat. The only way to change a song is by manually choosing a different, or by manually typing the shuffle button. Everything worked great yesterday. I asked several of my friends to check my conclusions, and they have confirmed the same questions. If anyone knows how to fix this help please.

    Hello Gus87,

    I understand that your iPhone seems to be stuck playing the same song, regardless of your attempts to move to the next track. This may be due to the function "Repeat" enabled in the current reading on your iPhone screen.

    • Control playback. Tap a song to play and show the Miniplayer. Tap the Miniplayer to display the now playing screen, where you can do the following:

    Repeat steps. Press on to repeat an album or a playlist. Double click to repeat one piece.

  • The scan button does not work on Windows XP Media Center edition 2005

    Name of the printer: hp psc 1350 all-in-one

    Hi, this is happened since I reinstalled the operating system with an OEM disc, removing all the hp stuff. I got a new OEM drive that comes from hp (I think... well hp stuff works now) but the scan button does not always work. The old record was kind broken.

    I don't mind, but it will be useful, if it could be repaired. Don't want to do something big, would rather just not fix that to do something does not.

    Note: Scanning works, but I have to look somewhere else (e.g. opening scan in the Panel)

    OK, that explains why the scan button does not work.

    The complete software is required for the scan button to work, it is not a feature of the base software.

    Be sure to follow the steps below in order to get is torted:

    1. Unplug the USB from the printer.
    2. On the start menu, enter the HP folder. and follow the link to uninstall to remove the current software.
    3. If you don't find it there, go into control panel > add or remove programs, and remove any software installed HP PSC 1300 series.

  • Pavilion a1620n won't start, the fans are not running. PS on the light and Sun. Start button does not illuminate

    Pavilion a1620n won't start, the fans are not running. PS on the light and Sun. Start button does not illuminate. EU tested ps and I was told it was OK. Disconnected from the motherboard except course before directed ps button and the cpu fan has become much brighter, but that's all that happened. Any suggestions on what to check? Checked with VOM push and he seemed to agree. Replaced the MB with the new Board of Directors, that didn't work either. Don't know if it was any good, it was a store Bulletin Board.

    All the indicators you mention leads to the PSU, not the Board of Directors.

  • Scanner EPSON Perfection V200 Photo: PDF button does not work since I use the scanner with an ASUS i5 running Win 7 Ultimate desktop computer.

    The PDF button does not work since I use the scanner with an ASUS i5 running Win 7 Ultimate desktop computer. I downloaded the 64-bit Epson software for the scanner.

    I found the solution to the problem, and it is indeed with the revised in Windows 7 Control Panel.

    Here how to solve the problem:
    Go to the control panel in Windows 7.
    Search scanner in the upper search box to the right
    You will see a "view scanners and cameras".
    Click it, you will see the Epson Perfection V200. Highlight.
    Click Properties, then Yes, then events.
    Where it says select an event, you MUST choose the event suitable for each option.
    To the Start button, choose Start the series of creativity
    For the copy button Choose launch Epson Scan
    E-mail button also Epson scan
    PDF includes Epson scan
    There you go.
    Now, all this was not necessary before, there are no instructions, and the fault lies with MS. how much more confused MS will do the control panel?

    advice?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand you have questions only by using the back button in the Firefox browser.

    But I would like more information on this topic in order to help you.

    (1) the back button worked before with Firefox?

    (2) don't you make changes before this problem?

    According to your description, there is no problem with the material since it works with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Previous key does not only work with Firefox. Therefore, I would advice you to check with Firefox and see if that helps, because they have more expertise on products here to help you better.

  • Factory settings Resinstalling when blue Thinkvantage button does not work

    Last year, I panicked when I thought I had a virus. Rather than rely on my own multiple back-up system, I guess someone knew more about computers that I do and let someone else in my computer. My X 60 has not worked properly since. The Thinkvantage button does not work, and it is hit and Miss as to if I can get the thinkvantage functions to work. My wireless radio buttons don't work at all, and the indicator wireless lights turn on and turns off at will.

    I tried to reinstall the application and the update of all implement the Lenovo site, but nothing worked, so I think I'll have to reinstall the orginal factory settings and start over again to clarify these issues.

    I backed up all my data, and made discs (just in case) recovery... now my question is, how do I start to "rescue and recovery" / 'reinstall factory settings' when the blue button does nothing when I push at the start?

    (Works under XP - if that makes a difference).

    Thank you

    Problem solved.

    I managed to get into Rescue and Recovery manually and found that I had a backup on my C drive that existed prior to my problems. I just restore to that date and "presto!" the blue button works again!

    I'll have to spend the rest of the day, re-installing everything that has been added or upgraded from a year, but this simple step seems to have solved my problem. Who would have thought that I had a copy of backup to disk C - I thought I backed everything up to an external drive!

    Tip for any staff of Lenovo, reading this - if your security people knew more about Thinkvantage program, I could have solved this problem months ago - these are them who sent offshore to find updates to day and re - install Thinkvantage to try to get the blue button works again.

    Thank you all.
