  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

• Cannot access anything in the Start Menu.

  Original title: problems with Start Menu...

  Can Hi anyone help here please... I can access is more things in my Start menu, Control Panel, My Documents. My photos, my computer etc, etc, all died in the start menu. Whenever I click to open these things I just continue to get an error report, I scanned for virus etc but the sweep came clean... Thank you... Jon T.

  Oh heck - here's what I'd do:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and XP stops threatening program.  XP should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft to sort display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' since they are not Microsoft extensions.

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Explorer XP crashing

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, and then restart and try again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

• Cannot access Internet and all programs on the start menu. How to get rid of a virus on windows xp

  I was recently given a hand computer (compaq I tthink) so I'm not clear about all the fancy stuff to the extent of the ect CPU... but I know it has windows xp pro. in any case, a friend used my computer and for some reason any felt the need to download a program called 7-zip. Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it. Oh and I can't get online in normal or safe boot mod either, what can I do?

  Original title: how to get rid of a virus on windows xp proremove a virus from windows xp pro

  Hello

  1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

  4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

  Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

  www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

  Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

  Method 2: Safe mode with networking

   

  Step 1: Check if you can browse the Internet with success in Mode safe mode with networking.

  Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

   

  Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 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.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  Step 1: Follow the steps in the link below to do the same thing:

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as shown here:

  Step 2: To configure Windows to use a Normal startup state

  After you have used the boot is a way to solve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  1. Click Start and then click Run.
  2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
  3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Method 3:

  Create a new user account and verify if you are able to access the program in the start menu.

  Try to connect with a different user has administrator rights account and then create a new user account.

• The start menu and the task balk disappeared

  On my windows XP the task and menu balk start screen disappeared as a result of a mouse click. "Just the icons on the side right.<" remained.="" what="" should="" i="" do="" to="" get="" the="" balk="" back?="" any="" help="" will="" be="">

  Hi janavasiljev,
   
  This problem can occur for the following reasons:
  • Auto-hide the taskbar has been selected for the taskbar and Start Menu Properties.
  • Your user account settings are corrupt.
  • The core files are damaged.
  • The Explorer.exe file does not load at startup.

  Make sure that the hide option automatically is not selected for the taskbar and Start Menu Properties.

  To determine if the hide option automatically is not enabled for the taskbar and Start Menu properties, follow these steps:

  a. press CTRL + ESC.

  b. If the Start menu is displayed, click on the Start menu and then click Properties.

  c. click on the task bar , clear the Auto-hide the taskbar option and then click OK.

• Why a shortcut for Microsoft Update doesn't appear in the start menu as it always has in previous installations?

  In this latest new installation of Windows XP Pro when I upgraded from Windows Update, Microsoft Update no item does appear in the start menu in previous installations? Can I remove Microsoft Update and then reinstall it? Can I manually install the shortcut? I'm comfortable editing the registry.

  Off topic, I know, but you can work some magic for another problem. When I boot, when half of the icons appear in the notification area, I get a message that Windows Firewall is disabled. After the last icons appear, the message disappears and the firewall turns on again. It's annoying, and I'd love to [repair]. Thank you.

  Assuming that the message "the Windows Firewall is disabled" comes from the Security Center (Windows), looks like you see what we call a "race condition". Essentially, Security Center is loading before the Windows Firewall was fully charged (may be due to the amount of NAV system resources then uses what he loads and runs his own control over the firewall).

  Until the warning goes away in a few minutes, don't worry, you see a normal behavior (for Windows XP).

  In Vista, you can just type it into the search line, you get when you click Start, and then simply press to load any command that you enter. Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + r to get the run dialogue box and it do.

• Computer won't open the Task Manager, paint, HOWEVER I would like to click Restart on the start menu.

  This problem started a month ago. my computer stopped to let me restart my system via the start menu, so I had to rely on a hard reboot which I don't do often. just recently I realized it won't let me open the photos in paint and every time that I right click on the taskbar and select taskmanager it does nothing. When I right click on computer > properties it just indicates that the Page failed to load. When I download pictures off google it does not show a bar at the bottom of the Save as window to change the name of the picture or even see what it is.

  Try to perform a restore of the system before you start, facing this problem.

  Press Windows key + R

  Type: rstrui.exe

  Press enter

  Follow the instructions on the screen.

  If the system restore is also blocked, you can try to start safe mode and it started from there.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If you are unable to load Safe Mode, I suggest that you scan your computer for malicious code.

  Download ESET Removal tool

  Burn it to a CD or create a USB bootable thumb with her:

  ESET are Live is a live Linux distribution which can scan malware and clean infected files. It runs from a CD/DVD or a USB device, regardless of the host operating system, but has a direct access to the system disks and files. This will eliminate the threats which, under normal conditions, can be impossible to remove.

  Download and create your ESET are Live drive

  You can also try to do a system restore before you start experiencing this problem:
