Windows 7 - LAN connection in the start menu, speed indicator bar not there

I use Windows 7 on several machines (64 and 32-bit). The LAN icon is visible in the taskbar. Under XP, LAN icon showed the name of the local network and its connection speed. Windows 7 does not seem to indicate the name of the LAN - no speed.

Can I get the speed is displayed on the icon (for example, 1.0 Gbps speed)? If Yes... How?

Thanks in advance for any help.

This feature has been removed with Vista. Start the Task Manager and go to the network tab, there you can see the speed of the network connection.

  • The start menu and taskbar does not appear.

    original title: the start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

    The start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

    You can try to leave Explorer yourself.  Here's how:

    1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
    2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type explorer.exe and press ENTER.  The taskbar and the desktop should appear.

    However, this is not a permanent solution.  My best advice to you would be to use the system restore to go back to one hour before the beginning of the question.  This restoration process takes about 2 minutes and will not lose one of your folders: it restores only the settings from the system to a point in time that you choose (you can 'come back' as little as a few hours or several weeks).

    To do a test, follow the steps below.  I guess that you are unable to reach the taskbar for the following steps:

    1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
    2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type rstrui.exe (this name is for 'restore user interface').  When you click OK, the system restore should start.
    3. Through the system restore program, you will choose a time to come back. When you have completed the program, your computer will restart with the settings at this time.

    Please let me know if it helps.

  • 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.

  • My section of games on the start menu are empty. Is there a way to get other Games downloaded online?

    I am running windows XP and do not have the disks.
    However I have solitaire spider on my desk, not in the games section in the start menu if.

    Hello

    You have the folder i386 somewhere in your car?

    Maybe in C:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If so, you can try to use that to restore these games, instead of pointing to the CD do point to the i386 folder.

    Click Start > Control Panel
    Double click on "Add or Remove Programs.
    Click "Add/Remove Windows components" and
    Click on "Accessories and utilities.
    Click on "Details". Check the box 'games'.

  • On the start menu control panel does not work

    When I click on the start menu control Panel icon, it says and I quote": {26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}"the RPC server is unavailable." All other icons are thus working computer, network, printers, etc all its only the control panel is not working. Two questions how to fix this and what is the RPC server?

    Hi I.Saenz,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Remote procedure call (RPC) is a part of Windows programs, which is "an interprocess communication technique that allows the software client and server to communicate." CPP is designed to provide a common interface between applications, making it easy for programs to communicate with the servers.

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    If the problem persists in safe mode then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • How can I put/pin a shortcut to "manage network connections" in the start menu?

    The window "manage network connections", I want to talk about is one that can be found on the left side of the window "Network and sharing Center", placed under the heading 'Tasks'

    Manually open to this place...  All the way you want to manage the connections then.

    Drag the icon in the 'address bar' above to your desktop or start menu, or the taskbar, etc...  It will create a shortcut.

  • No shortcut/folder "Windows Virtual PC" appears in the start menu after installation.

    I am re - a question that has been previously published by "turkeh" which the answer has not solved the problem. New: after successful Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Ultimate RC installation the specified shortcut, "windows virtual PC", does not appear under "all programs" as the moderators mentioned; It simply isn't there. Uninstall and reinstall XP mode does not help.

    Help with this is appreciated. Thank you.

    It seems that the information may be incorrect.  You must install both, because the Menus are created by the installation of Virtual PC.  Windows XP mode installs just needed to run files, which are then used by Virtual PC.

    See you soon,.
