To access the menu _ to start

I can't access my Start menu. I know it's one of the f keys but it goes by so fast, that I do not see that that. Can someone help me please before you DESTROY this computer?

Hello TimothyJamesBurtonthefirst,

I think the keys you speak is CTRL + ESC (display the start menu). You can also get the boot menu if you have a key of your keyboard - Windows Logo key Windows (display or hide the start menu)

    Hello Sher.

    If you are talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 from your keyboard to make the Menu bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be visible at all times, go in view > toolbars > Menu bar, or right click on the Navigation bar (for example, the Reload button), and then select menu bar.

    If this does not help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select Customize... and click on restore by default. If it does not immediately appear, try pressing ALT or F10. You can enter in view > toolbars > Menu bar to make it visible at all times, or with the right button of the Navigation toolbar and select menu bar.

    If none of this helps, you may have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Try to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

  • no icons on the desktop or the menu takbar or start after reboot

    I restarted my computer, and just the wallpaper came on the screen, it ' no icons or menu bar tasks or start, I tried to do ctrl, shift, ESC to bring up the Task Manager, but nothing happened when I did, it looks like not loading, I can get the pointer of the mouse to move and right-click with him I could see the circle of the mouse when I hit the three buttons, but nothing comes.  So I was able to get I in SafeMode with networking and everything works properly in safe mode.  I ran a bunch of anti-virus and anti-spy and anti-malware scans with startup scans, found a bunch and deleted all, done a search of f-nimda on it and he has not found on the computer. i did a sfc /scanow on the computer, he found no corrupted files. then I rebooted to see what happens samething happened without icons or tasks and menu bar pointed start. so I rebooted again butthis time I pressed f8 and made a last known good configration, and everything came back and works fine now.  but eveytime I restart the computer and leave it alone itgoe just the desktop wallpaper, wth no icons or menu start.
    any idea on why it happene or what to do to put this back to normal wthout using last good configuration known all the time?

    Your computer is not clean (why ever would scan you for the very old nimda virus?) or the operating system has been damaged. Look at the malware removal methods described at the link below. If you were this thorough, then backup your data and do a restore clean factory/install of Windows. If you were not that thorough, go through the removal steps and see what happens.

  • Access the menu bar drop down everything by changing the menu items

    Hello

    I use a design of producer/consumer.  In the producer, I have a structure of the event which generates messages for the consumer based on the event.  One of the events in the event structure is placed to get the menu selection.  In the loop of consumption, some States modify the menu bar items.  For example, if the program mode from automatic to manual, the items of the menu bar change accordingly.

    The problem I have is if the mode is changed to auto, for example, and then a menu bar dropdown can be reached quickly afterwards (sometimes happens accidentally even), before the menubar item change happens, there is a mistake and labview crashes.  I guess the problem is that the menu bar is connected the user while he tries to be changed. ?? Disable the menu followed until the elements are correctly changed does not help, because it does not prevent you from pulling a menu down, only to make a selection.

    Any advice?  This is the problem because it seems to me, in any case.

    Thanks as always!

    You can set the cursor "Occupied" until such time that your Menu is updated.

    So user will not be able to click on the Menu.

  • Access the menu to Sign In

    When I access the pilot unit number I'm going directly default opening wishes. Then I press on * to log in my account.

    Is it possible to directly access the sign-in without press the *?

    Yes - there are several ways to do so.

    The easiest way is to add the number you are dialing out as an extension of alternative for your mailbox - you can have up to 10. Then, when you dial in you'll automatically sign in conversation. Simply enter your password from there.

    If you are calling from a phone, that you do not want to add, you can have a routing rule configuration such that you can dial a particular number that is set to go right to the sign in conversation - it will ask you your ID and password. You can set it up as an outside number that anyone can call to go directly to connect for example.

  • BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphones cannot access the Menu

    Most of the time (90%) when I press the MENU button on my 9630 Tour, the menu came not upward but jumped upward in the menu "Switch application". How can I solve this problem?

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Whenever random strange behaviors creep, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Other one - it's a matter of time to get used to. Press and release the BBKey must bring up the menu. Taking the BBKey should show the Ribbon to switch to App. Depressed that the moment was a question for me to get used to it.

    Best!

  • Unable to access the menu bar to restore the default setting.

    Firefox hung up. I received a message that the script is running then stop script or continue. I have been unable to click either. Now, all I have is a black screen with a white rectangle at the top. I can't see my menu bar or address bar to reset the default value. I am at a loss to know what to do.
    Thank you.

    A right click (or Ctrl + click) on the dock, the Firefox icon and select Exit. If Firefox is stuck running, you have to force it quit.

    Before you restart Firefox, you can get rid of all tabs and windows that were previously open:

    1. Open your profile folder in the Finder.

    2. Rename sessionstore.js, sessionstore.bak , and sessionstore.bak-(numbers) to something else, for example sessionstore.js - disabled and so on.
    3. If Firefox does not work properly when restarted normally, start in Mode safe mode instead. The line in sans-echec Mode also allows you to reset Firefox, if that's what you want.

  • Problem with the Menu of Microsoft starting and turning off Legacy USB Support

    I recently bought an Adesso ADP-PU21 active USB-PS/2 adapter. Most of the time it works OK except when the computer wakes from sleep. For troubleshooting I tried to turn off Legacy USB Support in the BIOS of my computer settings just to see if that helped what whatsoever. However, my keyboard does not work until Windows has finished starting when the legacy support is disabled. I can't use the Microsoft boot menu to select an operating system to start. This is the reason why I made this thread to get help with it. I have dual boot between Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Is there a way to fix this, so I can have usb legacy support turned off and continue to use the start menu? I had this problem before, when I tried something else but I don't remember what it was. I hope in any case, there is an alternative for this switching usb legacy support back on. Any suggestions?
