The icons are empty in the task bar and put in service

Original title: failure of menu start/task bar icons

Using W7/Firefox.  The menu icons taskbar and start pin ok and work very well.  After "Hibernate/restart all icons turn to the blank sheets and will not work."  Whenever I click on an icon, the "Can t Open This Item" window opens.  I have to remove the "dead" and repin them icons again. Then fail all repeats. I would be very happy to help with this one.  Lojong

  • Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

  • How can I make the task bar and the opaque address bar?

    The address bar and the taskbar are translucent IE I can see the wallpaper through them, while the rest of the window is opaque.

    Thank you

    Hi Robert,.

    Disabling the translucent effect in Windows 7 is very simple:

    a. right click on the desktop

    b. click on customize

    c. under ' Basic and high contrast themes, click on "Windows 7 Basic.

    Please report if you are still having the problem. I will be happy to provide you with the additional options that you can use to get the problem resolved.

  • XP opens with symbols instead of letters, making it unreadable files and icons in the task bar and office

    To start my computer opens with letters replaced by symbols.  I ran antivirus, antimalware, etc. and finally went to the restoration of the system, and allows a point of restoring a couple of days before returning to the letters.  A few days later, the same problem occurred.  No, the system restore has no previous restore points available dates and I'm stuck. Help.

    HI AskDrL (and this also applies to the DrLHP - but you should follow the advice of the PA bear and not post back here if it does not help you - unless I suspect you two are really the same person with two usernames).

    Try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

    Try starting mode safe mode with networking to see if the problem is here.  If this isn't the case, we have little room to work.

    Check the display properties to make sure that fonts and styles are correct:

    In XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140752/en-us.

    In Vista, see http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/78281-advanced-appearance.html

    In Windows 7, see [2] http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/282-window-color-appearance-change.html?filter = appearance

    Check the locale and language to ensure that they do not appear in something weird and are set to standard English with normal fonts.

    Check Device Manager to see if there are problems with the video or monitor.  Whether (or not), go to the manufacturer of the computer or a web page of the manufacturer of the device and get the latest driver, firmware or software for the video card and monitor that are appropriate for your devices and your operating system.  To update all that is available and there is place and then reboot and see if that helps.

    If this does not work, I recommend repost you in the Windows Forum where experts in this will be more than happy to help you: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/desktop?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376 but first, to the top, where it says Windows Version, use the dropmenu to select your, then you will find yourself in the appropriate forum for your system.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    P.S. If you are the same person, then you should uninstall it and use on McAfee removal tool as having AVG installed at the same time and it can cause disorders and problems - I doubt that what we see here, but it still needs to be done.  After normal uninstallation of McAfee, use the removal tool to get rid of leftovers: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507.  I don't know if this will solve the problem, but this should be done in any case that is likely to cause other problems on the road later.

  • During an update to Windows Vista, my office has disappeared with the task bar and start menu.

    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:

    a. restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.

    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)

  • 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.

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