  Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

  I managed to install the deployments of work to the target machines. However, I expected to see the classified facility "My TestStand system" in my Start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?

  Also, if I do another target second deployment to the station as "My TestStand system B", all LabVIEW files in my previous installation for "My system TestStand" disappear from the directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand system) target.

  I use TestStand Professional 4.2.1 on Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009 development station.

  The image of user account can be removed by disabling the Welcome screen. Or, by opting for the classic Windows theme. Follow the method described in this article, if you want to remove the user name and the picture in the Start Menu, without disabling the Welcome screen and Windows XP theme.

  For those who want to delete the user name and the image of user account from the Start Menu, in order to have a blue white Panel at the top, try this:

  Regarding the pressing 'F1' to start Windows, you have made no changes or was there a system crash after which the problem started?

  You may need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS to the default settings. I recommend you contact your PC vendor for this.

  Warning of the BIOS:
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• I can't stop Windows via the Start Menu

  Original title: Shutdown, problem

  My laptop Dell Inspiron (64-bit) with Windows 7 is to have close questions. Since yesterday, when I click on stop in the start menu, nothing happens. It's as if I never clicked on stop at all. The same happens when I click on restart or any other shutdown/logoff options. The only way I can get it to stop is if I press the power button, but when I turn it on again, instead of saying "Starting Windows", he said "Resuming Windows". I ran a few virus scans and it doesn't seem to be a problem here. I don't know what else to do.

  Run the SFC/scannow command. This will check and repair if necessary all of the critical Windows system files.

  Click on start / all programs/accessories then
  Right-click on the command prompt option and select "Run as Administrator".
  At the command prompt, enter: SFC/scannow

  (2) Windows XP to test the object, which attribute the M: for this OS drive

  Anyone have any suggestions on how to configure this setting?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  Hello

  I suggest to install Windows XP on two different partitions, then try to start the computer. You will get an option to choose which operating system to select. But you will not be able to rename option in Windows XP dual boot.

  In case if you have Windows 7 installed with Windows XP, you can rename the option Windows 7 dual-boot.

  -What is the number of brand and model of the computer?

  Flip your keyboard and shake gently. This will remove any buildup of debris which may prevent the keys work properly. You can also use compressed air to remove dust from hard to reach under the keys areas.

  Method 1: Check with another keyboard.

  Try a different keyboard on your computer. If it works well when you connect a different keyboard, the issue may be with the keyboard.

  Method 2: on the keyboard of the screen
  Check if the problem occurs while using the on-screen keyboard. It will help us to check if there is any problem with the keyboard.

• Windows XP SP3. Space above the start menu is empty, some programems wont shortcuts or all programs.

  Recently installed Office 2010, but need technical assistance. Tech has created a new user account 'my computer', but on my screen to connect normal admin, space in the start menu above all rest programs empty. In addition, some desk top of page shortcuts will not run, no programs will work directly from the main menu.  Additionally, Windows update will not work. Outlook will start the new screen of the computer user, but not my normal log on screen.  I tried a number of alternative, none succeeded.  It seems that the fundamental problem is the connection to my main user on screen log has somehow been disconnected and I'm unable to re-establish the connection. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
