How to repair or restore?

I tried the same fix... change the way users log on power and it has not worked for me. This seems to have happened recently.

Joe, to the extent where lines underscore...

Right-click on your desktop and select "Properties".

Click on the tab "appearance".

Click on the "Effects" button... »

Uncheck the option "hide underlined... letters. »

Hope this works

Uh, I just had to close the Task Manager and restart it to see the change... uh

Thank you all

  • How to restore my Windows Task Manager menu bar?

    This morning (1/27) then I tried to unlock my computer through a boring program Norton 360 use, I have somehow disabled/deleted not only my menu bar in my Windows Task Manager, but the icons that reduce, maximize, and close the screen for both Task Manager. The only way I can shut it down now is by right-clicking on the icon when it appears in my task bar.

    Looks like you run the Task Manager using tiny/small footprint.

    If you double-click on the empty space around the border of the screen of the Task Manager, it will change from normal mode, and then you should see the tabs you are accustomed to seeing.

    You can read about it here:

  • Explorer Windows has stopped working. Same for the Task Manager.

    I have Windows Vista and have had this computer for several years.

    I tried to work on something yesterday and I found that all my Office 2007 programs would be would break immediately at the opening, while they were working fine a week ago (the last time we used them).  I ran the diagnostic program came not upward with anything and then installed a bunch of windows updates I received automatically.  When the computer restarts now, I get a window in the corner that says 'Custom settings', then a window appears and says that Windows Explorer has stopped working.  I can ctrl/alt/del and open Manager tasks, but when I try to do no matter what to whom, it also stops working.  I not to download anything so I really don't think it is a virus.

    I can't open programs or menus, even if I think I can get a screen of command.  I ran all the tests in the installation disc and did not get any where or the other.

    If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you

    Mike

    I can show you a workaround until Microsoft fixes their problem.

    As soon as you enter the office hit

    1-CTRL/ALT/DEL to get into the Task Manager
    2. click on the tab Applications (top left corner)
    3. click the new button on the task (lower right corner)
    4. in the Open box, type explore and click the Enter key
    5 do step 3 and 4 once more as quickly as possible

    This should stop the process of recycling the error message

    After stops in the process recycling, you can leave the Task Manager and minimize the Explorer window.  Also, you should be able to leave the Task Manager and windows Explorer now.  If this is not the case, just keep the Explorer minimized window.

    You should now be able to use your computer as usual.

    Let me know how it works for you.  If it works well, spread the word.

  • How doI recover lost Manager menu bar tabs tasks and data use

    Some how I lost the menu bar and tabs and impossible to get processes, CPU use and commit chgs.

    checked to increase the resolution to increase (maximize) visibility without change.

    Anyone got a clue?  Thank you

    If you don't see the tabs in the Task Manager, then that means it works in 'tiny footprint mode' (sometimes referred to as 'Kiosk mode' or 'format') which does not show the legs or the menus above. This mode exists mainly for advanced users who want to put a small CPU counter in the corner of the screen using the performance tab. Sometimes this happens accidentally if you open and use the task manager often. To return to normal mode, open the Task Manager and double-click anywhere in the area of border (open) to reveal the tabs.

    See screenshot here.

  • The Firefox button is missing in my worm 4.0 menu bar - where can I find the command to add it back in?

    I just downloaded Firefox Ver 4.0 and have been customization - one thing I can't understand... I HAVE the menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.), but the "Firefox" button (which indicates to your image 'customize' the first button before the menu drop down "File") is missing. I watched all I can think to add, but have had no luck.

    For more details, the operating system is Vista (ugh, but I'm stuck with it for now).

    Would love to help! Thank you very much.

    To get the new interface, you need to hide the menu bar. Do, in the view menu, select Toolbars, then click on the entrance to the "Menu bar".

    If you need to access the menus, you can press Alt or F10 to display temporarily.

    Hello

    You can do it by the process id in the go Task Manager to display the select columns, check PID.
    One way to match is looking in the essbase.log - you will see entries like
    Start the application [example] with the process id [6988]

    Try to use the microsoft process Explorer, it will identify the process much easier.

    See you soon

  • Please help me. My task manager disappeared, also run the command

    I have automatic updated my computer this morning. After the update, I had to reboot my computer. After the reboot, my task manager disappeared, I received a message that it is disabled by the administrator. The thing is, I am the administrator. I tried to bring it using command run, but he went too. I tried the command run in the properties of the start menu, impossible to find. How can I bring back?

    Another thing, all my word files are now listed as files Visual Basic EDITOR. I guess it's because of virus. I turned off to avoid any automated scripts from script virus running, but then I can't open any word file, so I still allowed him. I can open word file after that, but they are still reported VBEfile. What is VBEfile anyway?

    Another problem, the automated system recovery tab is also missing from my computer properties after the update.

    Please help me, I'm desperate here.

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
    The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
    The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Copy and paste the following lines in bold text in the new Notepad file.

    Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

    Because now you have or have had a malware infection, I would follow with this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  • Windows Vista Home Premium - problem "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

    Nice day

    I had problems with my task manager (I use the operating system "Windows Vista Home Premium"). Evertime I try to access the program, he returns with "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I used different tools to remove malware and got rid of a lot of problems but still can not in Task Manager.

    I created a new user with administrator account and logged on it and had no problem until my 'Task Manager' program open, but when I went back to my origional administrator account the same problem occurred.

    Why can I get to "Task Manager" in my new account administrator and not the former?
    I still have malware in the old account or do I go into my registry and restore something?

    I am at a loss, and any help would be appreciated. I'm worried that I can always have some kind of malware that prevents me to access my task manager in my old account.

    Please give step by step instructions because I am not computer savvy computer even when it comes to fixing the problems of this kind.

    Thanks in advance.
