  Hi cthodges

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

  I would like to ask you a few questions to help focus in the right direction:

  Are there other specific details that you can provide that will help us understand and solve your problem?

  We can try a few steps and check if it works:

  Run explorer.exe from the Task Manager > new > task. If the start menu reappears, it would confirm the cause.

  We can now perform the following steps:

  Step 1:

  Run an on-line analysis of your PC of malicious software:

  If you want to scan your computer for malware and potentially unwanted on a Web site, please use the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner.

  Windows Live OneCare safety scanner is an online service that lets scan you your computer to protect yourself, clean and operate at its best. Use our free protection scan to check and remove viruses, spyware and other potentially unwanted software and to find vulnerabilities in your Internet connection.

  You can also run Anti-Malware on your computer. Follow the steps in this link:

  Step 2:

  To use a boot option, follow these steps:

  a. restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.

  b. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.

  c. when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in the bottom, select the installation that you want to start and then press ENTER.

  If it works fine in safe mode, infer you that all third-party programs are causing the problem.

  Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  (Note: after find you the problem causing the program, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup)

  S tep 3 :

  The SFC utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a sfc on the windows vista computer scan. To run a scan suite sfc as follows:

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

• After installing Ubuntu 11.04, Windows Vista has disappeared.

  Original title: Windows vista is missing

  After installing Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) my other OP system Windows vista has disappeared. I don't get a menu to choose which OP system I want to use. The grub menu 2 does not include an entry for windows. My computer directly boots into Ubuntu. I tried to put the installation disc in the status bar to try to recover the system but nothing works. Can someone help me please? Isetta cordially.

  Hi Isetta,

  It seems that after installing Ubuntu, grub 2 took control of Boot Manager and changed the boot sequence. To change the startup entries to get Vista, you must contact Ubuntu for assistance on changing the grub boot entries 2.

• Windows 8 How to revive the desktop and the Start Menu?

  Hello, if you are using Windows 8, sometimes we are asked to open the Task Manager and close some programs for performance reasons. Strangely, programs that have been closed with the X button at the top right are still reported running and need to be stopped manually via Task Manager! During the closure of the "Desktop" program (Yes, it is in the list and it is possible to simply close), how it can be restored? Where doesn't he disappears and with it also the Start Menu? We tried to find via the command run, and we stopped the machine and restarted does not. Now, there is just an o/s hidden without user interface! The machine responds to CTRL + ALT + DELETE to bring up the Task Manager. Thank you.

  You can absolutely close, for sure.  But, apps Store of Windows cannot do the slower computer.  Memory is marked as 'open for use' and can be erased and reused for any new process in the clock cycle (approximately a 1000th of a second), then it poses absolutely no load on the system just let them "running" forever.  Developers sometimes refer to this frozen as "tomb-stoned.  This is the reason for the new model of application development, so that the users do not have to worry about closing or opening an application. They just use the computer and do what they want without a slowdown.  You know, like the iPad :)

  Hello

  References for Vista also works on Windows 7.

  Updates page is closely related to IE - look for something blocking.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
  machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

• Windows Live Mail does not present as an option for default programs or in the Start Menu.

  Something happened this week. I can't identify enough exactly when so I can't say with certainty whether or not it is the new update of 2011.

  I use Windows Live Mail (desktop application) for the mail. It is installed and since I built the machine first. I've recently updated for 2011 through Windows Update. In the Start Menu, the default e-mail link no longer works. If I go to customize, I have the options of Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Outlook. If I select Windows Live Mail, it launches a web browser to go to live.com and use Hotmail (which I don't use).

  Now, if I choose Windows Mail, and then re - open Windows Live Mail manually, I can set it by default. In this case, when I go back into the Start Menu, the link is there but empty and you get a message that "the selected item is not available. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. You want to remove from the list? "I can't get around that. Under "Default programs" in the Control Panel, Windows Live Mail is not yet there. It's as if she is not yet installed, and whatever the shortcut points to (wherever it may be) is apparently nothing. In the registry, under HKLM/Software/customers/Mail, there is no key for 'DLLPath' and "LocalizedString" as there are other programs.

  I must point out that repair installation does not help and neither does file and reinstalling.

  I managed to solve the problem.  I received an email from another user and I'm sorry to say, I do not remember what were the instructions in the email.  The answer to (y) our problem used to exist on the web, until Microsoft has removed the old answers live site, or something like that.

  IIRC, I believe that it was fixing the misdirected registry keys.

  This might help: http://www.vistax64.com/live-mail/130368-re-cant-set-windows-live-email-outlook-default-email-program.html
