Taskbar not clickable when I start up.

I recently restored my computer laptop back to factory settings a few days ago and when I turned it on I couldn't click on anything on the taskbar. I rebooted my laptop to see if it was just a bug, but when he started toward the top this happens again. This happens only when I first start my laptop and not when I wake up from sleep mode. The only way I could make it work again was to alt + ctrl + DELETE and start the task manager then just exit and it still worked. I looked around online and some said to run the System File Checker, so I did, but it did not come with something and I also scanned my laptop for any viruses and it found nothing. It is not a huge problem just annoying I have start the Task Manager and go out just to get my task bar works again.

  • e-mail does not appear when you start outlook express/is accessible only when iI click on Inbox in the folder list.

    I use Windows XPO professional and Outlook Express 6.

    Otherwise, how do you mean "emails should display"?  I don't understand the problem then.  What do you expect when you start OE?

    If it is not directly in the Inbox, you can have corruption and you can go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  Then see if it works.

    need help with this and please tell me the solution if r there all

    If by "I got my laptop to format", you mean you have reinstalled Windows and the problem persists, it is probably a hardware problem. If you have a keyboard that can be plugged into your laptop, there the same problem?

  • I removed a second TV tuner. WMC now reports "tuner not found" when he starts recording. Boring. Is there a solution?

    I'm thinking there must be a registry fix just for this.

    I used to have two sticks of tuner TV USB in my PC (Win7 Home 64 bit), but one of them went belly.

    Now when WMC starts a scheduled recording, I have a pop-up balloon reports "Tuner not found". But the TV very well played and recorded normally.

    Is there a simple solution for this? Very annoying. THX.

    In WMC, go to Settings/tasks/TV Signal and set up your TV Signal again.

    WMC has been implemented with 2 tuners and will continue to be a tuner missing until you set up again.

    If you replace the missing tuner, or replace it with another tuner, you need to configure WMC again.

  • nothing is displayed in my address bar or change when I click on another site and my home page does not open when firefox starts

    for a few weeks or so, whenever I connect to firefox, my home page does not open, and my address bar remains empty. in fact the only time where something appears in my address bar is when I manually type it in., I have also the status of loading Web sites does not appear on the bottom bar.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

    See:

  • Why is it "Private browsing" not indicated when automatically start navigation of privacy at the start of Firefox?

    I was wondering why "Private browsing" is indicated only when it is turned on for a
    individual session, and NOT when it is started automatically at startup of Firefox. Sometimes, I
    forgot that I am in private browsing mode, so the things I want to keep (i.e.
    zoom settings) do not remain in place while going from one page to another.

    Maybe it's just a matter of aesthetics, but it would also be useful to know the
    particular mode that is using your browser...

    Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions/solutions.

    Thank you, cor - el.

    I checked tools to see what is happening in both situations (when private browsing has not started automatically and when it is started automatically). Therefore, I would like to report this problem as being solved... now that I have a better understanding of how to determine which mode of Firefox, I'm at any time

  • keyboard does not work when you start. Unable to get to the bios screen.

    When I reboot to get to the bios screen my keyboard does become functional until windows load. I don't remember what is a problem in the past, but since I disconnected everything recently I was wondering if it happens to be a USB port which remains hot during startup.  I have a Gigabyte motherboard.

    Thanks for all the help.  I found a port that remained hot during startup.  Not an easy feat because there are 6 USB ports on my MB.  Then after may restart to finally find, I remembered that I have also 2 USB ports on my Dell monitor that remain hot even when the computer is off.  A lesson I will never forget.

  • Why my laptop detects only my neighbors wifi and not mine when it starts?

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron N5050 and in recent months he has struggled to detect and connect to my wifi, but it can detect surrounding wifi. I had to wait five minutes before he actually found my wifi, but then it does not connect to it for another 2 minutes because of "a problem with the access point. Then after that it connects to the wifi and works very well. Sometimes it will detect and connect to my wifi after the laptop is turned on, but it takes 5 minutes for the laptop to actually connect to the wifi.  I need a permanent solution to this problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled my network card. I unplug and plug the router. I went to power management and unchecked "allow this computer to turn off device to save power." I changed my power supply with high performance options. I disabled my anti virus software. My wireless driver is updated. After doing all these things, my laptop still has a problem. The router works fine. My iphone, kindle and windows 8.1 Dell laptop my brother can connect to it.  What should I do?

  • Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

    History:

    I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

    IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

    IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

    I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

    The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

    How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

    I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

    This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

    However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

    Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
    Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

    For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

    Good bye
