    Do not have access to Safe Mode if you ignore the system restore and click on the button on the Start Menu?  Your initial problems are repeated in this case?

    If you can access Safe Mode things, see if it will help you create another user, and it will allow to test this new user in Normal Mode of loading.

    Also, if you can in Mode safe, download and run this program in mode safe mode and let it scan your computer for malware.

    Try this mode safe too.  Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found.

    If Safe Mode is not an option for you, see if you can access options of startup repair (be it to start any Windows Vista DVD or the Safe Mode screen options).

  • My START button does not appear... Help, please!

    When I boot my START button and botton bar does not appear.  I can only active programs on my desktop. No error didn't occur during the starting and stopping of the system clean.

    There's probably a little Ribbon blue at the bottem, correct?  It's probably because you unlocked the taskbar and moved down.  If you place your mouse over the wick and pull upward, the taskbar will go up.  Or, you may have hidden auto bar, so hovering over the taskbar can bring it.  You can still access everything on your computer with a command prompt (type "cmd" in run) or run, dialog box which is accessible with the Windows key + r, if you didn't know.  Oh, and the Windows key is the Start button on your keyboard.  If you type explore in the run dialogue box, you will see something familiar.
