• Why the busy blue circle turn and I'm unable to use the taskbar background?

  I've had my laptop for a few years.  It has Windows 7.  Suddenly the blue spinning circle is still there when I try to use the taskbar that has the start menu on it.  The classic mouse is there when I use anything on the desktop and I can access and use the programs here but I can't seem to something else.

• using the taskbar icon made a right-click menu options 'tasks' disappeared

  I'm on FF 34.0.5 running on Windows 7 Ultimate (V6.1 Build 7601, SP1). Since a few days the options of 'tasks' on the right, click on the menu of the taskbar icon disappeared. The rest is two (three times current running FF) lines: unpin and FF.
  I tried the solution proposed by https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/994990 without success. The browser.taskbar.lastgroupid keeps returning to this string "E7CF176E110C211B" as the set of users.
  I even uninstalled completely, including the folder in Program Files and my FF profile. None of the measures has helped.

  The highest browser.taskbar... has the same value after re-installation. The key containing this value is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs, with two values "default = not defined" and "C:\\Program Files (x 86) \\Mozilla Firefox" = "E7CF176E110C211B."

  How can I return this feature?
  Thanks for the help

  solved!
  uninstall of FF and a cleaning the registry and program files/user data has helped.

• Start open used menu and cannot use the taskbar

  Hey all,.

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, and about 3 months after getting up my new machine and run I had a few problems.

  Symptoms:
  -Generally a few minutes after booting I can't access the start menu, bar of tasks or traditional system with the left click status bar. (it blinks for half a second, but won't.
  -Some letters, until the entries, erase all entered (at the time in AND THE command prompt)
  -Sometimes the system boots to a black screen with ' boot: ' and a command prompt available.

  I tried to restart and sfc.  System Restore is not an option (not available before the start of what happen to restorations).  I ran Kaspersky 2011, and no viruses have been detected.  No updates (I checked) or install (what I think) were made immediately before this problem occurs.  It seems to work OK now which is surprising, but he acted like this for about 4 days pretty regularly.  If she needs a wipe it is not terrible, but my OS drive is at home and I'm at school.

  Any advice or ideas would help!  Thank you!

  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

  (1) open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click on continue.

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  1. open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings.

  2. pursuant to the resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then click on apply.

  Change the screen resolution: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Change-screen-resolution

• Strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using Firefox

  Hello

  I feel a strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using firefox.

  Please take a look at this short video because it shows the problem, it's almost impossible to show in pictures.

  https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12595174/VIDEO0016.3gp

  I use firefox on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit v36.0.1. Video card is an ASUS R9 280 X using the latest drivers from AMD 14.12 Catalyst Omega Software.

  Motherboard is an ASUS M5A88 with 16 GB of ram and a processor of 6300 FX.

  It is a new construction that I have implemented in the last 24 hours, and this behavior was not present on the system using the same version of windows, firefox and even map chart and drivers. But on another card mother and CPU. Previous Board of Directors has been
  M4A79XTD EVO with a Phenom II X 4 955BE.

  The glitching does not occur when it is on the desktop and firefox is closed. It will not occur when you use IE - 64 nor does it when I am using the steam software or any Explorer windows/opening files.

  All the motherboard drivers are installed correctly, the integrated graphics card is disabled in the BIOS. I disabled the settings of firefox for hardware acceleration, smooth scrolling and text... to see if it was the question. It wasn't.

  I'd appreciate any help to solve this... Really, I don't want to use a different browser but it's bad enough and quite distracting to really annoy me, and I don't see any alternative.

  Thank you very much.

  Hi jscher2000

  I was about to post a reply, because a friend suggested that maybe that's a rendering of issue rather than a firefox one video card even if it's strange how it affected firefox only. I didn't have a chance to test it on Chrome as it is a new construction and I don't want to install the software, I do not use.

  I went to the Manager of catalyst and had a glance to the settings. I changed something, but no help... I then started to make a simple change and test until I found that the activation "gpu up-scaling" in the properties of digital flat screens has solved the problem.

  I am now free twinkle

  Thanks for your quick response however.

• After having FF recently upgraded, it always opens minimized, with an icon on the taskbar but will maximize not for me to use it - teacher W7 64 operating system

  I had a lot of problems with Vi-view infecting Firefox recently, but I have deleted successfully. Train removed and reinstalled Firefox. On the re-setup, Firefox works perfectly. However, if I close the program and try to open it, I have a problem. An icon appears in the taskbar and if I go over it, it shows a normal startup of Firefox tab. However, I can't optimize the screen to use the program. If I try to bring it to the top, a small picture will fly to the right of the screen. I have installed Chrome and IE11 and I checked to make sure that the Vi-view is no longer present on the machine to make sure that this virus was not the problem.
  My operating system is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
  Any help gratefully received. I don't want to stop using Firefox.

  More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

  Damage causes bad-ware. Sometimes to the point that the computer cannot
  not even start. Once clear you a virus check programs for problems.
  You may end up having to re - install some of them.

  Perform a file system check to repair the corrupted system files

  Download Firefox full installation for all systems and languages {web link}
  Save the file. Then;

  Using your file browser, open the folder of programs on your computer.

  Windows: C:\Program Files

• "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  missing volume control

  volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

  "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

  When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

  Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

  It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

  This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

  We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

  If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

  If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  Browsing from a level in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32

  Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

  Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

  Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

• How can I get the taskbar to show when I want to use?

  In many programs, the taskbar disappears from the bottom of the screen.  Sometimes I need to use an icon that sits on the bar spots.  How can I get the taskbar to show when I want to use an icon on this subject?

  What are 'many programs' to make it happen?  If you are using "full screen", you must leave this mode, usually by pressing F11 or ESC key.

  Unless you are referring to a mode "full screen" programs...

  • The taskbar should appear if you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen.

  OR

  • Right-click on an empty part of the taskbar, and then select Properties
    Uncheck the box "auto-hide the taskbar."
    Click OK

• Toolbars were staying is not in the taskbar regardless of locking toolbar or any other "bars," used.

  Hi all.

  I have W7 Home Premium edition. I have two toolbars that point to folders on my C:-one is for game shortcuts, others simply utility/program shortcuts. Two toolbars are in my taskbar. I have a chance of 3 to 7 of them whenever I connect and turn it back on in the process of disappearance, or start. Files and links that are always there, because to add toolbars when I connect, I just have to say new-> toolbar-> then select the two that I have created as they always appear in the list of available items to use for a toolbar. Curiously, they are retained at the bottom of the list. Once I have added to them, they stay there for the duration of my login. I have a draw, although whenever I connected to see whether or not they will be there. Someone please see that! It's VERY embarrassing.

  This happens to me ALL THE TIME! However, not ALL the time, but often enough that it annoys the _ living out of me. I can't find a solution to this either. Could someone please provide some guidance?

  Thank you
  TheOctagon TheOctagon

  Hi TheOctagon,
   
  I suggest you to lock the taskbar after the toolbar to add and check.
   
  You can also try to pin these exe file of programs to the taskbar and check if this help. So that you can open it quickly and conveniently, rather than look for the program in the start menu.
   
  For more information visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Pin-a-program-to-the-taskbar
   
  If still you have the same problem then, I suggest you to check that the problem persists in the new user profile. This problem may occur because of the corrupted user profile.
   
  To create a new profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile will also be created.
  1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.
  2. click on manage another account.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. click on create a new account.
  4. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.
