'Start' missing tab

I try to help my elderly father of 80 year to resolve this problem on his computer over the phone.  He knows not what he was doing, but the tab start has disappeared from the lower left of the screen.  The only way he can turn off the computer's power button.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
Larry

It could be that the taskbar was minimized - what happens if he presses the windows key? If the start menu is displayed then try hovering over the bottom on the screen until the resize cursor appears, and drag it to the top. (the cursor turns into an arrow to the top and bottom).

Let me know if this does not work!

    I reinstalled Firefox and somehow, I lost all that I see is toolbars, tabs "Firefox" and a 'Firefox Start Page', butdon can't get the next line to enter the adresse_web.

    I had a few other toolbars superfluous up there a deleted them.

    I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, but the problem persists.

    Press "Alt" then view > toolbars and tick any missing toolbar.

    You can make Firefox 6.0.2 look to Firefox 3.6. *, see numbered items 1-10 of the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (make Firefox 4.0 to 8.0, resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

    It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

  • Missing: Tab "Search"

    I try a project output in a CHM file using RoboHelp 8, and the result is completely missing a 'Search' tab. There is a table of contents, an Index tab tab, and that's all. (The project has a glossary, so the absence of glossary it's surprise). I searched through the forums and issues closest I saw were people whose Search tabs "did not work." However, the hotfix in this situation (re-recording of some DLL files), has not worked for me. I hope that someone out there has an idea how find a search tab missing thank you!

    Hello

    Try this. In RoboHelp, click View > pods > project implementation.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not start: missing or damaged config.sys

    Hello

    I turned off my computer Friday, I went back to his Monday - and it won't start. I thought that the config.sys file is missing or damaged.

    I tried all the usual methods - safe mode, last known good setting, OS etc, but none of it works. The computer does not recognize that the recovery CD is in the drive, either.

    As I don't have an original installation CD - the computer was shipped with the software already installed - I can't try either.

    I want especially to recover the entire system, but if I have to, I can live with that. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you very much.

    ·         What operating system is installed on your system?

    If you are using Windows XP and programs are not listed when you click Start, and then you can perform the scan SFC to solve the problem.

    SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC /scannnow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

  • Basic missing tab settings

    Hi people

    We have a server farm implemented here with 6 Terminal servers and printers loaded locally on each server. The tab settings in the printer preferences when printing c7260 on two of our servers or our C5240 is missing. On the other 4 servers, it is fine. Exactly the same drivers loading on all servers and in fact all of them were created as of the VMS in a windows image. I've checked everything I can think but can figure out what's different

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    So OK, just reinstall the same driver fixed
