Vista Start Menu problems

This is similar to the problems of others on the Vista Start Menu and the taskbar. I looked at the answer, tried to do, but it is already on the "'Start Menu" look, with the "Classic Start Menu" unchecked. "

He remains in the classic style. Even the scrollbars, windows and Microsoft Paint Program file have a look outdated. In fact, everything, but my Google Chrome browser is outdated, even if the scroll bar is white and square.

I love my computer and what she looked like before. This has happened after that my laptop has suffered a systematic update. I leave my laptop rest and waited to reconnect. The first I noticed was the Start Menu obsolete, white square and unpleasant. Another thing I noticed, it was a bubble of a word on a system event Notification. I don't know if it plays a role in this dilemma.

I want just the Start Menu of Vista to look like a Vista Start menu.

Hi MLD1990,

Step 1: start by checking the event notification to know what could have happened.

See the links below:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Event-Viewer

Step 2: this could also be a problem with the themes, you can try to change to a different theme (Vista's Aero theme) and then check out.

For more information, see the links below:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-desktop-theme

Step 3: you can also check the recently installed updates to know what could be the cause.

    > When I press the touch pad to select something sometimes the Vista start menu comes up

    I think it is nothing unusual, because the area touchpad or corners can be configured to randomly.
    I recommend that you check the touchpad configuration and if you want to disable some annoying features or elements.

    The configuration of the touchpad should be found in the control panel-> mouse-> properties or advanced control.

    Hello

    It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool to check that everything is correct in the system files.

    "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  • Start Menu problem

    the "Start" icon on my laptop automatically changed the type of classic view. I looked in the settings to start menu int "taskbar and start menu appearance properties ' and the selection was in the normal display - not the classic view. I tried to change to Classic view and return to the normal display, but the appearance on my screen is still the classic version.

    I think that the change occurred after I installed updates from the windows update, and then I uninstalled to see if it changes back - no effect.
