Windows 7: no start button or taskbar when the computer starts

Original title: Black screen and the taskbar and the start to the Start button

At the start, I had a black screen with no tasks or start bar button. Just the pointer and remote area was visible. (I have a dial-up connection and sometimes when I start remote poster on his own area right after the desktop). I could not access the boot menu. I don't know how he has become black because I left after that I turned on the computer. I pressed the power button. When I did I got the light blue screen that says it would close down and he stopped normally. When I rebooted I had no problem and he has not done since.

I not made any changes to the computer except change the desktop wallpaper several times for a long time.

Can someone tell me what is the problem with my computer so I can fix it so this or something worse will happen?

Thank you

Hello misha38,

After proofreading by the wire, it looks more like a hardware/driver problem. Have you tried updating your video driver from your computer manufacturers Web site? Please visit the website of the manufacturer of your computer to locate and install the correct driver.

    Check the above and you may need to use these methods to interrupt the cycle.

    I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

  • My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on. I want to reconfigure it so that it does not turn

    My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on.  I want to reconfigure it so that it won't turn.  I know this is probably a simple change, but I can't find the path anywhere.  Any help?

    I guess you do NOT mean that you have both printer and computer plugged into the same power strip and both are turn on when you turn on the power strip.

    As nearly as I can determine the rather thin material in the Guide for the Dell P713w user, probably have enabled "Eco-Mode" or the mode 'sleep '.  See page 19 of the User Guide (if you don't have it, download it here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/PRN_P713w/en/index.htm).

    When this feature is enabled, the printer goes into mode low power when it has been idle for a while.  When the computer is off, the printer is by definition inactive and so will go to low power, shortly after that the computer is turned off.  When the computer is turned on, it detects the presence of the printer and connects to the printer.  Apparently, the printer interprets this string as the "no-idle" and out of his low-power mode, which appears as if it is "turn on."

    In addition, this printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every week if it is plugged into a power outlet. It will briefly exit Power Saver mode or turn on temporarily if it is disabled.

    At least one of the lights on the printer flashes power on and off when you think that the printer is turned off?  If so, it is in energy saving mode.

    Of course, I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me if you actually turn off the printer by pressing the button on / off on screen, he should not be able to auto (except once / week maintenance cycle).  From the Manual:

    Note: When the printer is turned on, press [power] to switch to the power saving mode. Press and hold [power] for 3 seconds to turn off the printer.

  • Software HP C4380 printer causes delays when the computer starts.

    I don't know what triggered the problem. I had unplugged the printer and reinstalled. Now, when the computer starts, it hangs for 2-3 minutes seeking a device to the USB location 0. That remove the HP software solves the problem. I installed with the latest HP drivers and tried to use only the printer drivers without the scanner software. If I avoids the HP software, Windows installs with a Jungo win driver that causes the same result. It could have been an update of my Windows XP Home SP3 in the meantime I demolished the printer and reinstalled, but I can't follow any other changes.

    Now the printer is useless because of this problem. HP forums suggested disabling a program of tracking of HP under Services.msc, but who has also failed to solve the problem. Any suggestions?

  • WINDOWS CALENDAR DOES NOT WHEN THE COMPUTER TURNS

    Hi guys:

    I'm having a problem with Windows Calendar. In the past, when I had an appointment for a date, the calendar would turn on automatically to remind me, as soon as I turned on my computer. Recently, this has changed. Now, I can always make an appointment, but if I'm not manually in calendar, it will not attract me, the way that it used to. Obviously the parameters have changed. I don't have any idea on how to solve this problem. Can you guys please help?

    Sincerely,

    Hi Rachel,

    To do this, you'll want to schedule in your startup folder so that it works even when the computer starts.  Here's how.

    1. Press + R to view the race box.  Type : startup of the shell and click OK to open the startup folder.
    2. Open your menu start, find calendar and drag it into the startup folder.

    You are finished.  Now, it runs automatically when you connect.

  • How can I avoid that Ginger Proofread starts automatically when the computer is turned on?

    I bought this program and you want to use it whenever I need to replay. But it always starts automatically when the computer is turned on, and because I sign, it restarts every 10 minutes after I killed him, asking me to connect.

    I can't find it in the start menu. Interface of the program itself does not give me an option to change the setting to start on demand. I wrote for the developer, no answer. I don't want to uninstall it. So, I wonder where I can go and change the setting?

  • Node Manager does not restart the WebLogic servers when the computer starts

    Hi all

    I'm testing the new WebLogic Server version as well as of new forms and reports. I don't have much experience with WebLogic (using the Internet Oracle 10g Application) bare with me for a moment.

    I'm using Node Manager to start admin server and all the other managed servers. I also installed nodes as a Windows service manager and configured the boot parameters to include Xrs-/-Xnohup, as stated in the documentation and everything seems to work fine until I restart the server. Node Manager service starts and according to his diary, he plays startup.properties of each server, but it does not start them. Am I missing something here? I found myself in an impression that Node Manager must restart the server in case of reboot system, if the server was running when the computer has been restarted.
    Even though I don't have much experience with WebLogic, I'm not a beginner. I managed to migrate (for testing only) all the business application (more than 1000 forms and reports) of iAS 10g to the new version in two days. Application works very well and I only have problems with servers to start when the computer starts using Node Manager.

    Test environment:
    Windows 2008 Standard 32-bit
    RAM: 2 GB
    HARD DRIVE: THE 140 GB
    CPU: 2xXeon

    # nodemanager.properties
