• Windows 8 programs and start menu keep popping up randomly help!

  OK so I started a program of windows 8, I hide and go to my desktop and use chrome etc. programs all minutes from this program, I hid continues to appear, I close it and it keeps popping up for 3 - 5 times and then it disappears. Anyone know what causes this?

  PROBLEM SOLVED (for me)!  I had this problem for a week on my new computer.  Seemed that the 'Start' button has been continually pressed.  Do you happen to have a wireless keyboard that you have changed out for another which is always close to your computer... like I did.  Turns out I forgot to pull the battery in my wireless keyboard and also has not entered the USB for remote transmitter/receiver.  I got the keyboard on a shelf above the computer.  The button 'Start' was pressed against a book so it was always "pressed" and always communicate with the computer.  Just happened to do that, when I thought if something goes wrong with my original keyboard.  When I out took it of the shelf, the problem stopped.  I hope this helps!

• Whenever I update on FireFox from the start. I have never "Firefix" icon/button top left which is described in all the GET started video instructions.

  When you browse videos "Get menu started", they point to a firefox icon/button at the top left of the screen. They use this button for a menu to synchronize dropdown using private browsing and so on. It never is. What should I do to put the question on the screen?

  You will see the Firefox button if the menu bar is hidden (view > toolbars or Firefox > Options).

• I can't access my account normally in Vista Home Premium: no job, no icons, no start button bar

  This problem started about 2 days ago. I turn on the computer and it starts normally. Then, when I put my password to login my account all I'm getting is the dialog box on a black screen asking if I want to start Vista now or more later. In addition, there are also a message in the corner at the bottom right of the screen saying that it is not a genuine copy of Vista. There is no taskbar, no icons, no start button. So far I tried to start safe mode and it identify you with icons, button bar and try to start but the background is always black without wallpaper. I tried restoring the system and don't have a virus scan with Live One Care, but these did not work.  Sometimes if I leave it alone and come back later the missing items are returned on their own, but the wallpaper is not yet there. In fact, while I was typing this question jumped in the back things. What else can I try?

  Hello

  If Windows has not been activated, the black screen is a normal behavior of Microsoft.  See André solution in this thread for Windows 7.

• Windows 7 icons on the desktop and start changed to dat file

  Original title: Windows 7 icons on the desktop and Start Menu problems

  I am running Windows 7 Pro with service pack 1 and all the icons on the desktop Start Menu has changed into something that resembles a dat file and when you click on it, they are trying to run a download would be and asks where I want to save them. Symantec Endpoint, Microsoft Security Essentials, or AVG will find viruses or problems with the computer. I spoke with the technology of Windows and he sent me the link to this page.
  I've never seen anything like this.

  Hello

  It can be disappointing when all the icons on the desktop and Menu start modified in a dat file. I understand the inconvenience.

  You can try to rebuild the icon cache and check if it works properly.

  Click Start, click Control Panel, and write in the box search folders options.
  b. now, click on Folder Options to open and select folders and hidden files (dot).
  c. open a Windows Explorer window.
  d. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
  e. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
  f. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
  NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
  g. close the window.
  h. emptying the trash.
  i. restart the computer.
  j. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
  NOTE: If for some reason, IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed, then you can just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
  k. icon cache will be rebuilt.

  Hope it solves the problem. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

• How can I change the height of the menu bar to allow my large icons/buttons maintain their size?

  I've recently updated to FF31 FF28. Totally different user interface, I get that. I waited to update until I psych myself to try something different. I have the default theme Australis and Noia Fox Theme, which is designed with the larger icons/buttons for those with Visual needs. On my screen at this moment, I have the title bar, menu bar, tab bar and toolbar url/addon with the menu "Burger" on the right. I placed icons in the bar of menus, kept the House icon in the bar of the addon, and then there are the default icons in the menu popup. When I activate the Noia Fox Theme, look great icons in the addon/url bar, even in the popup menu; clear, large, easy to see. However, the icons in the menu bar (not the menu popup) are less than half their size origin/destination. So I'm going to default Australis theme, reboot and same problem, but not quite as dramatic as the default theme is smaller at first.

  My thought then, is that there is a setting in the menu bar which resizes the icons/buttons for a small default size. This setting can be changed to allow icons to keep their size original (or near it) and if so, how? I like the location of the menu bar on my screen, underneath the title bar above the tabs bar. Works very well with the new Fox only better addon that attaches to the tab bar and mask the url bar, a 'new' for me and I love him. I know that I can get the CTR with an additional bar and I tried that. The question, then, is that the extra bar appears below the tab bar and that it is not moveable to above the bar below the title bar and tabs.

  For the moment, I have just the two themes, security addons added and The Fox but better. I haven't added any other addons of appearance again in order to minimize potential conflicts/problems. I have not tinkered with internal FF by default not to follow the other parameters to tell me (I think that's what I did). To the best of my knowledge limited, I kept the changes and customizations to a minimum. And Yes, by your feature of conjecture to posted questions, I'm under Win 8.1 and 31 FF.

  I think I've offered sufficient detail so that others may try to reproduce the problem. Otherwise, let me know and I'll try to answer as soon as I can. Thank you very much for any help offered.

  You can also try code like this that I posted before on icons placed on the menu bar:

  #toolbar-menubar > toolbarbutton > .toolbarbutton-icon {
    height:24px!important; width:24px!important; margin:-3px!important;
  }
