Suddenly changed my Start menu to Classic view, and my attempts to change it back have failed! > :(

This is why I hate to let people use my laptop because it was totally fine before, now iv noticed the start menu and the bar at the bottom of the screen with my programs in switched to a classic display, I thought I'd be able to switch back to the updated easily but its doesn't work simply do not! I have properties click on Start menu, then make sure that the top one is enabled then I press on apply, Ok and it's always the same look of the classic view. can anyone suggest what happens?



PS Hope this makes sense (I typed while in frustration)

Thanks I solved the problem now, the option I was looking for that seemed miraculously in Control Panel > personalization > change theme. Then I chose the > update the theme< in="" the="" drop="" down="" option and="" applied="">

    Click Start, type services.msc and press . Locate the themes service and click on it. In the left column, start, or restart the service.

    Pf30 soul it records progressive, but puts it as interlaced on internal memory.

    Better is to implement a project of 30 p manually as elements are likely to be interpreted as 60i

    If so, you need to interpret all the clips in the assets of the project at 30 p.

  • Start menu are become virgins and desktop icons & shortcuts are gone, need help to restore them if possible

    I contracted a virus of webroot, and although it has not crashed my pc completely, he has managed to erase my Start menu and 'all' of my icons/shortcuts office. And most importantly, I lost the Internet Explorer icon, even if I always still have and can use it through other options like my email provider when I receive mail or messages which sucks because I'm use to just clicking on my provider internet icon and it takes me right to it. It's another thing my provieder icon went too which allows you to be on my desk, so I wonder if there is a way to restore my icons on the desktop & Start menu. When their shattered virus he left me with a black screen but my toolbar was still there, I also bought the Norton 360 and installed because it all happened due to my previous expired anti-virus software. Norton 360 has helped and supported & stored all my folders and files that have been analyzed and are good, but I have no idea on how to get them back where they belong. Help! I guess I need hooked on Phonics or something... lolol

    RE: Start menu seems to have changed to Classic view

    Right click on the Start button > properties > click Start tab Menu > click on the dot to Start Menu > you should see a blue dot on the front now. Yes?
    Click OK when finished.

    RE: possible virus attack.

    I think that your Norton had done his job.
    But, if you want additional coverage, suggest you download and install malwarebytes.

    http://en.kioskea.NET/Download/Download-105-Malwarebytes-anti-malware

    Once installed, open malwarebytes > it will prompt you to update. Click Yes and let it update. If it's not hum update you, click Update and make an update > click Scan > click perform complete scan > it will take a while > it will give you a report summary at the end.

  • Start menu doesn't return to the view of Vista

    Hello.  I am very new to this forum thing and I think that this problem is easy to solve rather than to pay $60 support solve for me.

    I started my computer until this afternoon and a necessary for download through Microsoft Windows Update.  I had to leave so I clicked on "Download updates and then stop the icon" on my Start Menu in Vista.  When I am back, I restarted my computer and my Start Menu is in classic mode.  I read through some of the emails here and couldn't find one that related to my problem.  How to move to Vista Start Menu?  I know that it is possible, because all users on my PC have the Vista Start Menu.

    Here's what I've tried so far:
    (1) right-click right properties and start menu.  Click on the menu start, customize and hit by default... nothing.
    (2) restart... nothing.

    All the tips are greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much.

    HI fur13

    Thanks for posting your question.

    (1) right-click right properties and start menu.  Click on the start menu.
    Under the Startmenu, there are two options

    • Start menu
    • Classic Start menu

    Check the ' option which is not select, apply, click Ok and you're done.

    Also I'm not sure what you are referring to so just a Word.
    If you're talking about this button and this button does not appear as it is given in the picture. I would like to know, please try to explain as much as you can.

  • Change the start menu of windows 7 to look like XP

    Hey there, can someone tell me how to make the start menu in windows 7 look and works as the XP menu start. He drives me crazy I'm not I could do it in Vista, but not 7

    Hi Boopgirl,

    If you are referring to the menu classic start, so here's an alternative of third parties who use a lot of people.

    Official site of CSMenu:
    http://www.csmenu.com/

    CSMenu is a small application that works like the classic Start menu. It is designed for Windows 7, which does not have a start menu classic. Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Desktop Experience]

    I just follow this suggestion qnd it is ACE, thank you very much. I really don't like restrictions on the Organization and navigation of the new start menu and it's true that I was disappointed 7 did not have the ability to switch to the classic, as they did with Vista.
    But this little app is great and it looks even better than the original with its background of transparency.

  • Vista Start Menu problems

    This is similar to the problems of others on the Vista Start Menu and the taskbar. I looked at the answer, tried to do, but it is already on the "'Start Menu" look, with the "Classic Start Menu" unchecked. "

    He remains in the classic style. Even the scrollbars, windows and Microsoft Paint Program file have a look outdated. In fact, everything, but my Google Chrome browser is outdated, even if the scroll bar is white and square.

    I love my computer and what she looked like before. This has happened after that my laptop has suffered a systematic update. I leave my laptop rest and waited to reconnect. The first I noticed was the Start Menu obsolete, white square and unpleasant. Another thing I noticed, it was a bubble of a word on a system event Notification. I don't know if it plays a role in this dilemma.

    I want just the Start Menu of Vista to look like a Vista Start menu.

    Hi MLD1990,

    Step 1: start by checking the event notification to know what could have happened.

    See the links below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Event-Viewer

    Step 2: this could also be a problem with the themes, you can try to change to a different theme (Vista's Aero theme) and then check out.

    For more information, see the links below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-desktop-theme

    Step 3: you can also check the recently installed updates to know what could be the cause.

  • Start Menu problem

    the "Start" icon on my laptop automatically changed the type of classic view. I looked in the settings to start menu int "taskbar and start menu appearance properties ' and the selection was in the normal display - not the classic view. I tried to change to Classic view and return to the normal display, but the appearance on my screen is still the classic version.

    I think that the change occurred after I installed updates from the windows update, and then I uninstalled to see if it changes back - no effect.
