• Missing taskbar, start button

  Yesterday, I pulled my computer and found my taskbar and lack of start button.  All my desktop icons are present and functioning, it is only the taskbar and start missing button.

  I did a CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Manager tasks and typed 'explorer', but this fix has not worked for me.
  I also tried to have vista start since before, but I was told that my drive does not fats, that is not possible.

  HELLLPPPPP!

  The taskbar can be set to auto-hide function.  Press the Windows to make it appear, then right click on the taskbar, click Properties and uncheck Auto-hide the taskbar .

  Or, the taskbar may be too small.  Move the slider to the bottom of the screen, then slowly back up.  If the cursor turns into a two-headed arrow, click and drag it to the taskbar is larger.  If this does not work, try the same thing on the side left, top and right of the screen...

  Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
  It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
  side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
  where you want it. Don't forget to click inside it, not on the edge.
  by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.

  Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
  on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
  use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.

• 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.

• Windows Start button 8

  I have windows 8 and I hate where is the beginning. I wish that my old switch back. How can I go about it?

  Original title: Start button

  Hi Sheryl,

  I wish to inform you that Windows 8 is designed with a splash instead of a boot menu screen. If you want the Start button, you can upgrade to 8.1 Windows and you will see the Start button. The button Windows start 8.1 will take you to the start screen, as you can see in Windows 8.

  To learn more on the start screen, click on the link below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/start-screen-tutorial

  There are some third party software that can offer the option of a start menu in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. However, we do not support or promote any of these third-party software.

  In addition, if you like the old way menu start working, you can wait for Windows 10 to launch. You will find a menu starting with a lot of new features. To learn more about the next Windows 10, you can click on the link below and see all the videos:

• 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?

• [Beginner] Start button run sub vi only once

  Hi, I am very confused by what it seems, very simple task.

  I have a piece of code and I need to connect it to 'start' button that will run once when the button is pressed, run once more, if I press the button again and so on.

  I tried with 'while' loop and true/false button connected to him, but, as you know, code inside the loop runs continuously as long it is true which is incorrect, it does not stop when it should.

  I woul hold it like this: press start-> code in the block runs once and that's it, no more unsless I press the new button...

  Please advice.

  PS: I have attached the vi piece I need to connect with button. He is currently working as intended but I can't seem to make it executable with button.

  An event loop is the way to go, but since you're a beginner. This is the Basic, simple way:

  

  You must click with the right button and change the mechanical action of lock when you press on (or exit) to run only once.  If you set it to spend it will switch.

• After running chkdsk because I had blue screen whenever I started, now it works but the taskbar and start button are gone! I tried to run explorer.exe but who did nothing!

  I have an emachines T6534 and whenever I start my computer, I would get an error stop 0 x 00000024. I ran chkdsk on my other computer with the hard drive and it seemed to fix the Blue error screen. But now, whenever I log in, it takes 15 minutes to log on and I can't access the files. The "Start" button does not appear or is the taskbar. I can run the Task Manager, but that's all. I have very important files on the hard drive and cannot afford to lose. I can't even open internet explore from the Task Manager. When I try to run the system restore, it says 'system restore is unable to protect your computer.

  Please help me! Thank you very much.

  The Stop 0 x 24 message indicates that a problem has occurred in Ntfs.sys, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. A message similar to Stop 0 x 23, exists for the file systems (FAT16 or FAT32) file allocation table to.

  Possible resolutions:

  1. hardware malfunctioning SCSI and Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) or drivers can also adversely affect the ability of the system to read and write to disk, causing errors. If you use SCSI hard disks, check the wiring problems and ending between the SCSI controller and the disks. Periodically check Event Viewer for error messages that are associated with SCSI or FASTFAT in the journal system or Autochk in the application log.

  2. check that the tools that allows you to continuously monitor your system, such as virus scanners, programs of backup or disk defragmenters are compatible with Windows XP. Some drives and cards are issued with diagnostic software that you can use to run hardware tests.

  Hi compufire,.

  The button send isn't there for paying users.

  Free users can create Public links and then copy / paste them in their own e-mail messages.

  After the upgrade, you should see the Send button. Let us know if you do not have.
