task bar overlapping start button.

My dell inspiron 530 with Vista ladys shows that two start buttons, one coming to overlap the other. We tried to switch back to the theme of vista and reset the task, function bar, but nothing helped. The system worked perfectly until you restart this am. When the system is fully charged the wallpaper was extremely pixelated and the taskbar has been expanded with a superimposed start button. have not been able to isolate the problem and all the tests to reset the bar failed. It runs in the xp style and back to vista has nothing. Any ideas?

Hello

Please attempt to change the desktop background to ensure that the image of the desktop is not an image of the office.  That could be used for pranks.

SFC/scannow

Windows - Cleanboot

-Create an another user account and check if the issue is still occurring

-Do a Windows repair installation. (Backup to an external before location data)

Please proceed to a repair of the OS installation.  In case of failure, please make sure that you back up your data to an external location before performing the repair.  Here are the steps to proceed with the repair.

To start the repair facility, load Windows 7 and make sure that you are connected to an administrator account. Then, insert the Windows 7 DVD and run the file setup.exe from the menu autoplay:

Then click install now to start the process:

Now, uncheck the box "I want to help improve Windows ' and select the optionto go online to get the latest updates for installation :

The installation process will then search online for available updates, which may take a few moments. Once complete, read the license agreement, then checkthe box I accept and click Next:

Now, click on the box to upgrade to start the Windows 7 repair facility:

Windows will then be re - install Windows 7 over itself and you will be informed of its progress as it does. Your PC will reboot a couple of times during this proc

Once restarted, you are then prompted to enter details of the usual initial installation (for example, the license key, location and time settings). When it is finished, the repair facility was conducted entirely.

I hope that this information is beneficial.

    I can only access my and other programs through the Task Manager.  I have tried troubleshooting, I restore my computer on the eve of what has happened, but nothing helps.  Any ideas?

    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:

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistasecurity/thread/ba80504b-61f1-4D71-960f-b561798b7b42

    Step 2:

    To use a boot option, follow these steps:

    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.

  • I use Pale Moon x 64. The icon in the task bar and start menu looks like a 'computer' and not on the icon Moon pale-why is this?

    My computer is Windows 7-64 bit.
    I recently installed the Moon pale x 64 on the right site.
    Everything works fine, except that the "icon" of the particles in the taskbar and start menu is not the blue moon. I wonder why this is and how I can change it.
    This occurred during the installation of the particles.

    Best is to ask PaleMoon support about it.

    http://Forum.Palemoon.org/

    PaleMoon is not an official project of Mozilla, is a 3rd generation of part 'Community' that is "powered by Mozilla".

  • Task bar obscures the ok button in the print window.

    When I try to print, I click on the "print" key, but an another print window appears, with other adaptations can I do, if necessary. However, the OK button that controls the printer to begin printing, is on the bottom of this window and it is hidden by the background task bar. In other words, the window does not appear, and there no minimize or maximize button to reduce the size of the window, I can't see the OK button. I tried to minimize the taskbar and clicking on the top margin of the window to move to the top to reveal the OK button, but it is always hidden. I tried to go to control panel, display, appearance and change the resolution, but nothing helped.

    1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    I suggest you try the methods mentioned below and check if it helps:

     

    Method 1:

    You can also scan your computer the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
