the Windows 7 start menu as a menu display does not respond when selected

original title: windows 7 start menu - display as a menu broken

When you customize my Start menu in Windows 7, I chose to 'Display as a Menu', as many items as I could.  It worked well for a while, but now is broken. Now, if 'Display as a Menu' or "Display as a link" is chosen, I have to click the item to open it.  I tried to change it back in 'menu' to 'bind', I tried choose "display only" and then back to "view in the form of a menu, I rebooted. I changed the delay of menushow definition in the registry by default 400 for as little as 20.  All to nothing does not.  Any ideas?

FYI for those who might encounter the same problem... found an easier solution.  I just put the menu start failing. The button is at the bottom of the start menu.

  • Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

    Things I tried but has not made a difference:

    reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

    With xp media center

    PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

    The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

    So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

    You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

    Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

    Start--->

    Control Panel--->

    Add Remove programs--->

    Scroll down to IE 8--->

    Click on delete.

    IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

    Resart your computer and install IE 8.

    This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

    Hi douglash21414001,

    I think maybe it's a coincidence, that nothing is installed with ExportPDF, so nothing should have changed your web browser. That said, you can clear the cache of the browser and then re-open your browser. (What browser do you use?)

    You can also try to restart your computer, if the browser is restarted does not solve the problem. But still, I don't think that this problem is related to the ExportPDF.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Best,

  • I am suddenly unable to rename folders. Insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out. Know a simple fix?

    After cropping of a photo with Photoshop I discovered that I was unable to rename.  I soon found out that the same thing is true when I tried to rename main folders in My Documents.  I am able to insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out.  Know a simple fix?

    Name change is a directory operation.  It would seem that you have read and write access to your directories, but you do not change access.  This highlights a problem with file permissions.  How is 'Simple' the fix depends on which version of Windows you have to a certain extent.

    Windows XP Pro (with "Simple file sharing" turned off) using the security"" tab. When you right-click on a file or a folder and select 'Properties', then click on the 'Security' tab to view and change the permissions.

    "How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307874 >

    Windows XP Home Edition is a bit more complicated.  You can start safe mode and log in as administrator for the 'Security' tab as above, or you can open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and allows you to display the 'cacls' command or change the permissions of files and folders.  You should check that your username has permission to ull 'F' for your records.  Not pretty, but it works.

  • When the Admin sign on the office comes to the top, but after that the computer does not respond when the user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.

    Original title: user profile

    My administrator user profile does not work properly, but I have a user profile that has activated the parental control that worked well for about a year and yesterday when this user logs on the desktop comes up, but after that the computer does not respond when that user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.  I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything.  I don't know what to check.

    Hello rhunter15,

    There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    • Click Start
    • Click on all programs
    • Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
    • Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
    • Click on command prompt
    • Type SFC/scannow.

    It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

    To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem.  For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.

    If please post again and let us know if that helped pinpoint the problem or if you still need help.

  • Modules window does not appear when selected in Tools/Addons except new open first tab

    Addons window does not open when selected Tools/Addons, except new (empty) tab was selected first. Is there a fix or is this a bug

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    == upgraded to 3.0

    It is a problem with one of your modules, Mr Tech Toolkit, it is a known problem, but I don't know any solution, although there are workarounds.

    In Mr Tech Toolkit options, under the section "Manager Hacks > Behaviour ', you will have to"select target window' set to 'new tab '. One solution is to change to 'new window '.

    An alternative is to use a bookmark to open Bookmark Manager modules in a tab at the following location:

  • I created 'language bar' for 5 languages. All 4 works well, but "Korean" does not work when selected. My system is windows 7 ultimate.

    I use a few different languages in communication with others.

    So I implemented 'language bar' on my new windows 7, just like I used to do it on windows xp.
    I followed through all the suggestions to make trouble, but it still does not work.
    "Korean" does not work when selected.  He types English instead of Korean.

  • How to remove the search box in the Windows 7 Start Menu?

    I'm a guy from keyboard. Encoder, mudder. Therefore, I prefer my Start menu for user-friendly keyboard, which includes the removal of the search box as the focus of pigs. I can't find this option in the control panel to the taskbar and Start Menu. I lack, or it is impossible to get the classic Windows, looking for the start menu?

    I forgot on the thing... If you want to remove the search box, try this: start > Control Panel > programs > Turn Windows features or disable > uncheck Windows Search

    ...

    I said that you can press Tab... wrong... you must press SHIFT + Tab.

    ...

    About to express my opinion - there is a simple reason why I do this. Some time ago, someone asked how to remove the search box, and it received no response for a few days. After that, I found this option, how to remove... When I said on this subject after a few days, I heard that this person used to this new feature of Windows and now it will keep it. I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong... this system differ only from XP... so we have to try to learn something new and check after a few days we don't like this solution more than the previous.

    ...

    I wonder why write you in commentary edition which has pasted the link almost not worth it. You will get exactly the same behavior of Menu start as in Windows XP. I thought that you, like this old solution... "Pinning just something that mimics the classic style"... No... you have clicked on the first link... you should read more prudent. There was also another. But even if you have selected the first solution with menu PIN... I guess you don't know that you can run all the pinned programs by pressing the Windows key + number... for example, WinKey + 1, so that each action is made without a mouse.

  • HP Envy23: Start Menu button does not work

    The Start Menu button has suddenly become unusable. The Home icon has been replaced by a sheet with the icon corner folded, and in a hurry, I get a message saying "the drive or network connection that designates the shortcut"Start Menu.Ink"is not available." Tried a couple of these corrections online and made sure everything is up to date.  Everything works well, except for this menu. Any suggestions?

    Hi there @Quetzle53

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that the start menu works correctly for you. I'm happy to help you with this.

    If this just started to happen, it may be a good idea to start with a system restore, if possible. See the following link Microsoft showing the various recovery options in Windows 10, including system restore.

    Recovery in Windows 10 options - windows.microsoft.com

    First try restoring, and then if it does not give a shot with the System File Checker. The following link is a very complete description of this command and how to use it. The command SFC - run in Windows 10 - tenforums.com

    Afterwords to test and see if the normal is restored. If this isn't the case, then try the reset method described in my first link.

    Let me know if it works for you. If so please mark this message as a solution. If this is not the case, let me know any other details that you can, for example, error messages or other symptoms that you notice.

  • Main menu works fine on the first play, does not respond when I get back to it.

    I've set up a very basic Blu - ray project using Encore CS6. Almost everything works except for this one problem which I can't understand. Firstly, some information... I have two total menus. One is the main menu and one is a chapter submenu. As you can see from the chart below, my main Menu is set to the first piece. It's music that makes a loop in the background. Just 3 choices in the main menu: 1) Play All, leading to my calendar only (3 hours); (2) Chapter selection, which goes to the Menu sup and 3 falls, who goes to the final chapter on my calendar (#15). The submenu allows users to visit one of the first 14 chapters, and then there is a return to the main Menu button.

    All navigation works perfectly when the disc is loaded. However, after the beginning of the timeline anyway (whether in the main menu, or in the chapter Menu), when I get back to the main Menu, it does not. I don't see any selection tool and I can't do anything. It's a big dead end. Composition of my frustration, this problem does not occur in Preview Mode. It only appears on my .iso file (and on the actual Blu - ray disc, which is how I discovered it the first time).

    Screen Shot 2016-03-14 at 8.57.52 AM.png

    I'm a newbie with yet, so I am confident, he is a stupid little setting error, but I can't isolate it. My end in both menus actions are themselves respectively (example, main Menu is set to go back to "Main Menu: DEFAULT.") My chapters have no action to end because I want that they continue to play seamlessly entry until the end of the timeline.

    I think that the question has something to do with my timeline settings. I am providing a screenshot of the setting below:

    Screen Shot 2016-03-14 at 8.48.10 AM.png

    I tried to build images of BD with remote Menu my timeline put on the two 'return to the last Menu' (as shown above) and that the main Menu for the project. In both cases, same results... menu main dead again.

    What Miss me? (Thanks in advance for suggestions).

    -Rich

    SOLVED. I burned a disc test of the project so as not to waste the Blu - ray in case it actually worked. Taken at the House of a friend who has a Blu - ray player connected to their TV, and it worked exactly as it should.

    The good news is that my project has been a success. The bad news is that I can't trust my playback device.

    Thanks for sticking to it with me Stan.

  • Problems with the .exe file programs + System Restore does not respond when you click

    I have Windows Vista. This problem started a week ago. I tried at first to use my "ccleraner" already installed, but this program does not open when you click on it. I was asked to choose the program that the application to use to open it. This has also happened when clicking on itunes. My avast program when you click also asked which application is required to open it. When it finally scanned my system it does no propblems. In addition, I tried to turn on windows defendrer as he told me that it was off. Clicked on 'Turn on..' and nothing happened. Help!

    Hello

    See the following message to solve the problem of .exe if necessary once you are sure that the system is clean.

    Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

    The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

    1.
    CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

    Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

    Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now), then
    Double-click it and run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with others
    programs as needed. Use this method for other necessary - DO NOT ASSUMER one
    program removes all or that there is no other malware.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    2.
    Another method is to use them:

    Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

    Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

    Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

  • How to rebuild the Windows 7 start menu?

    Having had a virus and deleted successfully, I find myself with a strange problem.

    The virus, among other things, seems to have changed the menu start removing the 'pinned' programs is not a problem, but also remove the contents of the folders in "all programs", for example under "Microsoft Office" is a subfolder called "office tools" (empty), but nothing else.
    All programs are always there and the work that they are not available on the start menu. There must be a way to rebuild this menu without having to reinstall each of the very many pieces of software on the computer.

    Suggestions welcome.

    Common to all users start menu is C:\users\all users\microsoft\windows\start menu.
    For each menu C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\window s\start user.
    By default, these are hidden files.
    Open Windows Explorer and create shortcuts, copy, paste etc.

    So, I turned on my computer today and clicked on the start menu, I expanded the tab all programs and was shocked to see that it was empty. Tab Assecories, Extras and upgrades, games, all of them, all tabs have disappeared. Is any way to restore? I don't know how to get to the Defrag disk or cleaning disc or one of these things without it. Help, please!

    A plus for you to try.

    It still happens today. Yes?

    Why not do a system restore.

    Choose 2 days ago, or a date then your list of all the programs worked as your restore point.

  • The Windows 7 Start Menu search / indexing nothing works! Tried everything!

    OK Ive spent countless hours of research on this question, ive tried many "bugs" that did not work at all. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit Edition and here is my problem:

    The search for the Start Menu in windows 7 does not show ANYTHING when I type something to search for. No category, no file, no folder, nothing. The only thing that appears is "See more results" at the bottom and everything else is empty. When I click on "See more results" I get an error saying that windows cannot find the search query

    WHAT IVE TRIED:

    Ive tried to rebuild the index - always says 0 indexed items and NEVER changes, Ive tried to manually change the location of the index, same result

    Ive tried deleted manually the former location of the index, stop the search function, from the search function (both in the options and in regedit), restart the computer and still nothing.

    Ive tried Backing removed all find Regkeys, stop manually search in the command prompt, location of the Delete index into the command prompt, restart the search function in the command prompt.

    Ive tried to do an in Place Upgrade / repair installation of Windows 7 but he's always said his failure and returned to my current installation of WIN7

    Ive double checked to ensure that all my regkeys have the correct values and I have all the correct regkeys

    After all that, nothing WORKS STILL! -Yes research is Active, yes the file indexing and drive is chosen correctly, and yes the Search Options for files and folders ARE set up.

    Ive seen 3 other emails of Micrsoft argue that users have posted, some people say it arranges, it does NOTHING for me. I always have this problem.

    Please, please help me with this, if anyone can help me, you have no idea how much I appreciate it!
