·         I spoke with Norton support? : Yes

·         I have found a solution ? : no

·         I use antivirus software now? : NO.

Hi jassemali,

·         Did you check if the system is now in Normal startup?

·         All programs work well?

First of all we will run the system configuration utility and check if the computer is configured to start in normal condition. See step 7 of this article.

I would say that download and install Microsoft Security Essentials as your security program.

Do not answer with the results.

    Be specific, or better yet show a screenshot where you expect to see the icons (you can use the application overview use the arrows to point to areas) and let us know exactly which apps you expect to see.

    Also, make sure that the apps that you expect to see are supposed to work in El Capitan!

  • Missing startup programs, printers uninstalled and run used print spooler

    Hi guys,.

    The title really says it all.   I am running XP.
    I tried to use my scanner but it will not work properly.
    I tried to use my printer laser hp 8000 and Canon S800 deskjet.   They are more installed and when I try to install I get an error that says that the print spooler is not running.
    All programs are missing in commissioning.   If I click on programs, then I can find them.
    Any ideas?   I ran, but I'm not all that good in the first place.

    "Missing programs" indicate likely malware infestation.  What do you use for an antivirus application and is his current subscription?  Have you let the subscription expires?

    Start with the download, install, update and run an analysis complete with each of these tools free amtimalware.  Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each is likely to take some time, so have something else to do.

    Hidden entries in the start menu > all programs

    Beginning > menu all programs is a combination of two folders (directories) on your hard drive:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Menu
    C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu

    If the subdirectories in one or both of the above is given to the "hidden" attribute, you will not see the corresponding entry when you click Start > all programs.  To check and fix this, right-click on the Start button and select "Open" or "Open All Users" (you should do as well until you're through).  In the window of Windows Explorer that opens, click Tools > Folder Options > view.  Click on the button "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)."  OK your way out.

    Double-click the programs folder.  Any folder that is hidden will appear "disappear".  Right click on each hidden folder, and then select Properties.  At the bottom of the general tab, uncheck the 'hidden '.  Click OK.  Select "apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files. Click OK.  Do this for all the hidden folders.  When you are finished, go back to tools > Folder Options > view and the changes that you have made previously.

    Repeat the above by right clicking on start and select open or open all users, no matter what you is not done everything first.

  • All my programs files and personal files are missing

    All my program files are missing (menu start - click 'all programs' - and it shows 'empty'... but if I taper type in an .exe application, then right-click and run as administrator, it works.)  In addition, all of my documents and photos disappeared.  I went completely through the computer and they simply went (value years of family photos).  Winundelete tried and it did not, so I guess that they are not simply deleted.  Any help?  I'm really confused.  (for the only system restore restore point before that the problem does not help)

    Have you seen evidence that you have been infected by malicious software recently?

    In an Explorer window, click on organize, select folder and Search Options. On the view tab, select Show hidden files and folders and apply them.

  • Where are the startup programs that do not appear in the location listed?

    I have a program (called Wondershare) I thought I had uninstalled later. I was mopping up my start today and noticed Wondershare programs on the list of processes. I thought it was weird, so I looked at the command and followed by the location of the file to the location he listed but cannot find the folder, in what he says he is?

    Location it lists is C:\Program Files (x 86)-common Files\Wondershare\Wondershare Helper Compact... but in my folder common files, it does list no this folder under the name "Wondershare", and a search reveals nothing either?

    So where is this program Wondershare hid? And why it shows the path of incorrect file on my list of startup programs? And how do I remove it from the list of startup programs? (not turn it off, remove it from the list).

    Everything you see in the msconfig Startup tab can be found in the registry.

    Currently enabled elements (those with the box) can be found in one of two places.

    There is a section for the local COMPUTER, and there is a section for the currently connected USER.

    Startup items that apply to the local computer can be found here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

    Startup items that apply to the currently logged-in user can be found here:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    You can specify which section of the registry the required are looking at the column location in msconfig.

    Startup enabled items will start with HKLM or HKCU (look at your example).

    So if I wanted to remove the entry currently enabled for an HP printer owned by the current USER (HKCU) I would do this in the Registry Editor:

    Since there is no cancellation or exit without saving the changes in Registry Editor, you should consider how you want to undo the changes if you make a mistake, and your system is working badly or not to initialize the next time it is restarted.

    Before registry settings to do this:

    Create a manual system restore point.

    Consider the backup of your registry with this free and popular tool:
