• Satellite L30 - 105 - tapping Touchpad Vista start menu comes up

  Since I got my laptop (PSL33E) when I press the touch pad to select something sometimes the Vista start menu happens which is really annoying.

  Someone else had this problem?

  > 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.
  I do not exactly remember the way where to find these options.

• 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 Even the scrollbars, windows and Microsoft Paint Program file have a look outdated.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.

• Need help with the Windows Vista Start Menu

  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!

  -Tim

  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.

• Vista Start menu will not open. Only the classic display works.

  My Start menu does not open when I click on it. It also won't work when I press the windows button. The only way to get the start menu to open is to change the menu to Classic view. Help, please!

  You can restore the start menu original, default settings.

  1. open properties of the Start Menu by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, then clicking on the taskbar and Start Menuand the taskbar.

  2. click on the tab Start Menu and then click Customize.

  3. in the Customize the Start Menu dialog box, click use the default settings, and then click OK.

  If this does not work, you can create a new user account and see if it helps.

  1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, click 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 that you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click create an account.

  If it works you can copy files to the new user profile.

• Frozen to the advanced Vista Start Menu

  I have a Dell Inspiron E 1705 with Widows Vista.  When I turned on my laptop is said that he had to check the hard drive, unless I hit a press any key to jump.  I have the laptop to go forward and while checking the disc, it becomes disconnected and power loss.  Anyway, whenever I turn it on, the Advanced menu now appears but any option I have chosen results in a black screen appears with the laptop, do a small humming noise as if he works on the subject, but nothing seems to happen.  I bought a Windows Vista recovery disk and it allowed me to copy all the files on a hard drive, but I can't get Vista to run.  I would like to reinstall Vista, but I do not have the installation diskettes.  I don't know what to do.

  Hello

  Use the Dell Diagnostics Options, including the F12 a (step 3).

• Start menu doesn't return to the view of Vista

  Hello.  I am very new to this forum thing and I think that this problem is easy to solve rather than to pay $60 support solve for me.

  I started my computer until this afternoon and a necessary for download through Microsoft Windows Update.  I had to leave so I clicked on "Download updates and then stop the icon" on my Start Menu in Vista.  When I am back, I restarted my computer and my Start Menu is in classic mode.  I read through some of the emails here and couldn't find one that related to my problem.  How to move to Vista Start Menu?  I know that it is possible, because all users on my PC have the Vista Start Menu.

  Here's what I've tried so far:
  (1) right-click right properties and start menu.  Click on the menu start, customize and hit by default... nothing.
  (2) restart... nothing.

  All the tips are greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much.

  HI fur13

  Thanks for posting your question.

  (1) right-click right properties and start menu.  Click on the start menu.
  Under the Startmenu, there are two options

  • Start menu
  • Classic Start menu

  Check the ' option which is not select, apply, click Ok and you're done.

  Also I'm not sure what you are referring to so just a Word.
  If you're talking about this button and this button does not appear as it is given in the picture. I would like to know, please try to explain as much as you can.
