Taskbar autohide function disabled

I can't hide taskbar. In the taskbar properties, I can't get this to work. I tried to uncheck auto hide and then check again but no use.

Hi errolb,

  1. When was the last time it was working fine?
  2. Did you the latest changes on the computer?

Method 1

Make sure you that you move the slider of the taskbar after you have enabled the option to hide auto taskbar.

To hide the taskbar

http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/win_tray_hide_taskbar.mspx?mfr=true

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Hello

    This who exactly are you referring to when you say "change unwelcom why I do?"

    If the taskbar is hidden, point to where you saw last it show again. If you don't remember where you saw it, try pointing to the bottom of the screen first, then to the sides or top of the desktop, if necessary. You may need to move the pointer almost off the desktop computer to show the taskbar.

  • Portege 3940ct OS upgrade to function disabling Lan of XPSP2-Driver issues

    I have canvassed all discussions on this forum (and others) and have not found a solution to my problem. But, its obvious that major thinkers on Toshiba laptop configuration problems are here. So, if there is a solution to my problem, my best shot is in this forum.

    I'm pretty advanced in troubleshooting on this issue and the only thing that makes me think that there is a solution, it is it seems that others have installed XP on this unit.

    I have a ct of 3940; I upgraded from W2kPro to XPSP2;
    I downloaded and installed the bios, drivers and toshiba utils for unity on the Toshiba site.

    I have confirmed that all components of the system are operational. This includes a cdrom pcmcia, a network port replicator

    Everything is beautiful... EXCEPT:

    I have no network function.

    Indeed, I have basically no internet communication that it works either - even through the modem. The modem composed and as soon as the provider of the Internet service provider sends a handshake of communications, Windows XP Home edition do not recognize and disconnects. (I have not tried to fax a document - but I don't think that is relevant to the problem).

    Indeed, any type of network connection device, I try to install on the device, the device driver is not installed. This includes the network cards pcmcia (Wi - Fi 10/100 and base a - g) and usb based of a to g wireless adapters.

    Initially, after the installation of Windows XP Home edition, I found that I could not get a connection to the local network through network port replicator.

    To power on, loads WXP b/f, the network port replicator connection LEDs indicate a connection. Once expenses WXP, the port is disabled. [All other functions on the Port Replicator is operational under WXP].

    After logging in to Windows XP Home edition, Windows XP Home edition detects "new hardware" and produced through the driver install process. He then began to try to install an "unknown device". Ithen reports thatit can not locate a driver, then prompt for the user at the end of the routine of material to add.

    Device Manager reports several devices with yellow warning flags indicating that the device driver could not be installed.
    A look at the Details tab on the "unknown device" (the tab 'network device') indicates that the driver who has a problem is 'rasirda.sys '. Device Manager will not allow the device to uninstall.

    Other devices that have the yellow flag are:
    1 Toshiba FIR Port Type-D0
    2 IrDA Protocol (hidden feature)
    3 TCPIP (hidden feature)
    and a network card, I try to install.

    Facilities of device driver for network adapters, including the network port replicator controller (Intel 8255 x based pci Ethernet adapt (10/100) and his sister pilot), does not install (and will not uninstall until the device is removed).

    A glance at the window of the administrator system "Services" shows that essentially all the services necessary to support network/internetrleated services are disabled. Dependencies show that all these services depend, directly or indirectly, on "services.exe". This service will not run, and when the service is to begin, WXP reports that the service.exe does not start the program described.

    Topic 'Information System', a glance at the 'network' tab indicates that there is an adapter called "RAS Async card" disabled.

    My first approach to this problem was to reinstall the update of the Toshiba driver for the controller Toshiba FIR. Nothing helps.

    The next thought was simply to disable the function of TREE, but that cannot be done at the level of the bios... and well, as ambitious as I am, I didn't venture into the machine to determine if the IR controller could be disconnected or removed from the system board. [But if it is a possible solution, then I'll go...]

    As noted above, the only reason for which I hope is it seems that others have run successfully of XP on the 3xxx series porteges, who, to my knowledge all have this same IR port. Also, Toshiba has even written an XP driver for the device.

    What I find curious, among other things, is that Device Manager reports the Rasirda.sys device on the network adapter tab. I would have thought it would have been reported under the 'no plug and play' or the tabs 'system device. Whatever it is, it seems that Toshiba has implemented the infrared device such as a network adapter, or at least that's how WXP is grateful.

    I searched the internet, on the site of Toshiba, microsoft XP, knowledge databases, Web pages etc. and did not meet all the remarkable solutions se... Although I enjoyed some of the protocols troubleshooting - not my real ambition.

    Bottom line, is that I have this computer connected to the internet. With all protocols, and internet communications services disabled, even through the modem... Well, its ridiculous. I can't yet register WXP! Absurd is that! Well well its been late.

    I hope someone will have a solution/workaround solution that will solve this problem.

    In the meantime, I think that the next step is to start over and reinstall XP and try... again.

    I'd appreciate any help that anyone can gather.

    Hello Andrew

    It's always interesting that a lot of users are trying to install WXP on older models. Respect! The problem is that 3xxx Portege is not supported for Windows XP Home edition and I wonder that you have found the drivers and tools for this device. On Toshiba Europe don't here are some drivers for Windows XP Home edition and I assume you found the download of some of them on Toshiba U.S. page.
    Am I wrong?

    Sorry but I have no concrete solution to your problem

  • XD - bit (CPU function) disabled/not available for Satellite A100-PSAA9

    Last week, I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-847 (Satellite A100-SPAA9) which has an Intel Core 2 Duo, model T7200.

    Specifications Intel, this processor (as all Core and Core 2 processors) has the particularity of XD - bit, known in Windows like DEP. I had the unpleasant surprise to discover that this feature is
    reported by Windows as unavailable (in hardware). I got the electronic manual on the recovery CD (which is an edition that is older than the printed manual that comes in the package) that I can do this feature
    available (for some older models of Satellite) but I couldn't find any option in my BIOS to do this (my BIOS is made by Phoenix, version 2.0).

    I really want to know how to make this feature available/active as my processor socket and so is the operating system purchased with the laptop and more than that, this feature is something beneficial - specially designed for security reasons and supported by all modern processors and operating systems.
    What do I have to wait for an updated BIOS include this option (to activate the feature XD bit) or that it is automatically set as active/available (instead of disabled/not available)?

    I expect a well documented answer from someone who knows what I'm talking about.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I know what you're talking about.
    Execute Disable Bit (xD-bit) Intel can help prevent certain malicious types of buffer overflow attacks when combined with a compatible operating system.
    Disabling malware code procedure is called the extension-> short adj. data protection

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats that attack by running (executing) malicious code of the locations of memory that Windows and other programs should use. This type of threat causes damage by taking over one or more locations of memory used by a program. Then she spreads and harms other programs, files, and even your email contacts.

    Unlike an antivirus program or firewall, DEP does not prevent harmful programs from being installed on your computer. Instead, it monitors your programs to determine if they use the system safely memory. To do this, DEP software works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as "non-executable".

    If a program tries to run malicious code or not a protected location, DEP closed the program and notifies you.
    DEP can take advantage of software and hardware support. To use DEP, your computer must be running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later version, or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later version. Software only DEP helps protect against certain types of malware attacks, but to take full advantage of the protection DEP can offer, your processor must support "execution protection".

    The Windows 32 bit (SP2) version supports bit off Execute (xD) so the computer function notebook processor is running in mode of extension (PEA) physical address.
    It is a technology based on hardware designed to mark the locations of memory as non-executable.
    If your processor doesn't support hardware DEP, you need to upgrade a processor that offers execution protection features.

    However, you can see the control panel-> system-> Advanced tab-> Performance settings-> Data Execution Prevention tab.

    By default, DEP is enabled only for essential Windows operating system programs and services. In order to protect more programs with DEP, select turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.

    First of all, scan your computer with the help of a current antivirus; of many virus/spyware cause symptoms like yours.

    The message "this feature has been disabled. For more information, contact your administrator" appears when someone has applied a policy to disable the ability to change the background. There are 3 involved policies:

    1. click on Start, type regedit and press ENTER.

    2. navigate to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\

    3. check if the key contains one of the following values (on the right pane). If so, delete them:

  • function disable pad touch

    On the 4 HP ENVY laptop is a feature that deactivates and reactivates the touchpad tapping twice in the upper left corner (where there is a small gray rectangle to indicate the position for the faucet to tun, the touchpad works). What is the procedure to disable this feature? (I find that I often accidentally disable the touchpad accidentally and prefer the feature has been disabled)

    Hello

    Open windows control panel and open Synaptics (you can also access it via the mouse... Settings tab... Settings button).  Option, you must disable is ' "Double tap to turn off the touchpad" - the exact location of this setting may vary according to the Synaptics version you have and to some extent the material.  An example of its location in Synaptics 8.1 can be seen in the picture below - just remove the check mark highlighted, click Close, then click on apply.

  • Zoom function disabled so can't enlarge the text on the main screen hard to read the subject lines of e-mail messages, looks like 6 pt type size, activated after the opening of e-mail.

    The text size is so low in the views of folders for primary e-mail that it is very difficult to read the subject lines of emails. I think I remember that earlier versions 'Zoom' has been activated and you could adjust the size. Looks like that the size is set at approximately 6 pt type. Must be at least 12 points.
