• Computer won't open the Task Manager, paint, HOWEVER I would like to click Restart on the start menu.

  This problem started a month ago. my computer stopped to let me restart my system via the start menu, so I had to rely on a hard reboot which I don't do often. just recently I realized it won't let me open the photos in paint and every time that I right click on the taskbar and select taskmanager it does nothing. When I right click on computer > properties it just indicates that the Page failed to load. When I download pictures off google it does not show a bar at the bottom of the Save as window to change the name of the picture or even see what it is.

  Try to perform a restore of the system before you start, facing this problem.

  Press Windows key + R

  Type: rstrui.exe

  Press enter

  Follow the instructions on the screen.

  If the system restore is also blocked, you can try to start safe mode and it started from there.

  If you are unable to load Safe Mode, I suggest that you scan your computer for malicious code.

  Download ESET Removal tool

  Burn it to a CD or create a USB bootable thumb with her:

  ESET are Live is a live Linux distribution which can scan malware and clean infected files. It runs from a CD/DVD or a USB device, regardless of the host operating system, but has a direct access to the system disks and files. This will eliminate the threats which, under normal conditions, can be impossible to remove.

• Why the icons disappear from the Start Menu?

  The Start Menu has two regions: a region for applications whose icons are pinned to the Start Menu and two region, for applications whose icons are not pinnend to the start menu... the positions of icons these vary, depending on the frequency of use.

  Why in the region shortcut icons do not disappear into the Start Menu?
  They are not being "jostled" more low ranking... they stop just appear.
  Open an application can hand its icon at two area of the Start Menu,
  but then after a few days (maybe earlier), for example, the icon is missing.

  Thank you
  DaleB

  You already have the answer yourself.

  "The two region" can only hold x number of icons... Let's say 7.
  If you later open a 8th program, among the list of 7 will be "hit.
  I opened Windows DVD Maker. Later, I opened MS Excel. Windows DVD is moved from the list.

• How to remove 'music' and 'pictures' of the right pane of the start menu?

  How can I remove the 'music' and 'pictures' option in the Panel of the start menu right?  When I right click on them, there is no option to remove or delete (as some forums suggest).  When I go to customize the start menu, everything (Panel, Favorites, videos, etc) except these two are listed.  Can anyone help?

  Well well well, you will look like this?  When you mentioned "libraries", I remembered that a few weeks ago I was cleaning the menus and screens under WMP and apparently I went in organizing-> customize the navigation pane and unchecked near pretty everything in there.  I just went and restored these options by default and viola ~ music and images options are coming back as if by magic.  Do not understand the logic behind this, but the problem is now resolved.  Thank you.

• Why they provide a compression of the start menu?

  I would really like to know this because I love the way the start menu works on Windows XP.
  Since Windows Vista, and now with Windows 7, when I go to "all programs" all my program items are listed in a 1 list under each other and considered as nested when I click on a folder. I always have a certain programs installed that use the start menu and it really clutters the list. Of course, everything is sorted, but which is not what I mean. I would like to see "all programs" fold on display again as the classic Start menu or how it worked in Windows XP. It worked simple and effective. Now I need to find a great list of applications, I installed and sometimes to open a file that makes the list even longer.

  Now I use 3rd party applications which changes the start menu to do these things, but these programs are often not free and when they do they have other problems that I won't discuss here for obvious reasons. ;)

  So my question is simple: is it still re-create they way manipulated XP style 'all programs' expansion? As it is now it greatly reduced my experience with Windows. All the guys at the office think also that it is quite a problem.

  I hope that I have explained the situation well otherwise I try to answer your questions. :)

  Thanks in advance.

• Windows XP two entries in the start menu. I followed the program from one to the other files?

  More of a problem of operating systems XP and how to bind the program files for the new version

  My system was not properly initialize (continulally reseting) to repair the fault that I had to make a form of repair of the windows installation CD. I now have version 2 of the windows XP operating system (host1 and windows 2) on my computer. Windows 2 is the version that works (constantly does not restart) ok, but all my program files, documents, etc. are still linked to the old version (windows 1) and therefore do not apear in the start menu. Is it possible to have these appear in the windows start menu 2, so I don't need to reload all my programs and also allow me to remove this old version that has been corrupted and not lose my files and applications. Thanks in advance.

  Hi Bill,

  It seems that you have reinstalled Windows XP on a different partition. In this case, you will not be able to use the installer on another.

  You will need to reinstall all the programs on the new facility and also, redo the settings.

  You can follow the below mentioned article to remove the invalid entry in the start menu.

• Why are most of my grayed out icons and my programs do not appear in all programs on the start menu?

  My computer crashed the other day. I returned with a system restore. I have scanned for viruses. Now most of my icons (computer desktop and folders) is grayed out. When I click on "all programs" in the start menu, none is listed even though they are still on my computer and still work.

  Hi homeWJ,

  Method 1

  See the Microsoft article below to download and install the fix, check if it helps.

  When you point to "Programs" on a Windows XP-based computer, the program list does not appear, or the list of programs is empty

  If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

• Why a shortcut for Microsoft Update doesn't appear in the start menu as it always has in previous installations?

  In this latest new installation of Windows XP Pro when I upgraded from Windows Update, Microsoft Update no item does appear in the start menu in previous installations? Can I remove Microsoft Update and then reinstall it? Can I manually install the shortcut? I'm comfortable editing the registry.

  Off topic, I know, but you can work some magic for another problem. When I boot, when half of the icons appear in the notification area, I get a message that Windows Firewall is disabled. After the last icons appear, the message disappears and the firewall turns on again. It's annoying, and I'd love to [repair]. Thank you.

  Assuming that the message "the Windows Firewall is disabled" comes from the Security Center (Windows), looks like you see what we call a "race condition". Essentially, Security Center is loading before the Windows Firewall was fully charged (may be due to the amount of NAV system resources then uses what he loads and runs his own control over the firewall).

  Until the warning goes away in a few minutes, don't worry, you see a normal behavior (for Windows XP).

• my laptop won't go to the starting window to type my password so I am trying to install windows 7 and it will not be installed.

  You are doing a Windows 7 upgrade starting in a race and activation of Vista operating system.

  Try to repair Vista:

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

• moved by mistake the start menu to the upper right

  somehow everything in messing around with google earth, I have moved the start menu to the upper right of the screen and don't know how to get it back on the ordinary lower left hand side. Also my taskbar has disappeared. Help would be really appreciated. Thank you

  The dialog box you describe is the taskbar of Windows XP Properties dialog box not Windows 7 one.  It is a Windows 7 forum.

  Please confirm your Windows version of the info in the Control Panel, System.

  - - - - - - - - -

  The red x is a mistake - it shows the location of an image that was not loaded.  Check this page for another example of messages with images - why are images on my warped computer so it is not on other computers?  Appear the many photos in this thread?

  You should check the settings in two places for the same problem (but please note that cleaning malware & registry are also for symptoms such as this).

  1 if you right-click on an image & select view the picture to make it appear then it indicates that you have this setting turned off normally.  To put the photos permanently in Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu [alt, t], and then select Internet options, Advanced tab. About two - thirds of the way to the bottom of the list is an article on Multimedia & its final entry is show pictures - the value of this check box.

  2 see also the pictures are not displayed and you see a red X on the Web sites in Internet Explorer , please review, information on using Windows ActiveX filtering - this setting are in the menu Tools of IE that you can get to by pressing alt, t & then selecting the entry of ActiveX filtering to enable it or disable it.

• Determine the target of the shortcut in the Start Menu

  I have shortcuts to folders in my Start Menu.  They seem to be of two different types, judging by their icons, although I don't know what circumstances lead to one type over the other.

  The 'good' type have icons that look like a single file.  I can pull up to its properties, the image of a folder appears with a small arrow in the lower left corner and there is a target field showing the trajectory of the target.

  The 'bad' type have icons that look like a single file with a preview of the content.  I can pull up the properties, the picture shown is always a file with preview and there isn't * no. * Target field showing the trajectory of the target.

  For both types, if I go down the shortcuts, the path in the address bar is not the true path, it's a false path that looks like it branches in the Start Menu (where the shortcut is) i.e. c:\Documents and Settings\Ma.F\Start Menu\TheShortCutName.  Two shortcuts are in folders on a network drive.

  1. How can I get the path of the target for the 'wrong' type of shortcuts?
  2. Is it possible to have the address field display the actual path instead of making it look like the folder is located in the Start Menu?

  My mistake.  Records that have not shortened * resident in the Start Menu.  They contain simply other shortcuts or folders of shortcuts.  Answer to the question #1.

  So, if I go down the shortcuts, the actual path of the target * is * displayed in the address bar.  Who responds to question #2.

  It doesn't seem to be a way to cancel a thread in this forum.  I'm sorry that this erroneous thread drag.

• The search box in the Start Menu

  I typed a word in the search box and results list the files that I was looking for.  But also displayed are backup files I had created in December, copied to my hard drive external and then deleted from my PC.  When I looked in the properties file, it said they were in my user folder. I checked and they were not in the folder of the user, nor that they were in the trash.  I typed the name of one of these files displayed in the results of the search box in the Google Desktop Search with results 0 of this description files.  Windows suddenly developed ESP with these ghost files?

  Hi Chrisana!

  No problem. In Vista, choses things are a little different. Your problem is probably caused by the index not updated. The index is updated in the background, so I would check now to see if, in these last days the index has been updated and files of "shadow" will no longer appear. If the problem is not resolved, rebuild your index manually. It is a process in three easy steps.

  1. Open Indexing Options from the control panel or by typing "Indexing Options" in the search box of the start menu.
  2. Click the Advanced button. If you get a UAC prompt on the rise, click to allow.
  3. Click the Refresh button.

  Once the reconstruction starts, you can click OK/Cancel out Indexing Options. He finished in the background. Note that this may take some time to complete, I suggest to leave it before leave you for the day or head to bed. Otherwise, your computer may start slow as you try to use it while indexing happens. This is why the reindexing takes place in the background, normally.

  Good luck!
