This started a few years ago after an anti-virus program removed some files. I think a legitimate file was erased and now the "Start" button's "Turn off" function will not work properly. I can easily shut off, etc by using CTRL + ALT + DELETE though. How can I restore my "Start" button to normal? 1 person needs an answer I do too

I cannot even find a file in the directory I am in and it only has 4 files in it!!!! testfile.txt WILL NOT BE FOUND! Not as "testfile", not as "test*" not as "*.txt" you name it.

Task bar is set to Auto Hide, when returning from sleep mode the task bar can not be activated. The thin white line on the bottom of the screen that shows the task bar in in Auto Hide mode is gone. The only way to get the bar back is to Log Off and back on or to re-boot. Is there another way to get the Task bar back? 1 person needs an answer I do too

I have a kenmore electric dryer model # 110.62974102 that has an issue with the start button process. When you press the button it starts the dryer, but it will not keep running. it will keep running and heat up if you hold the button in. When you release the button the dryer stops. I have removed the switch, but it appears ok, my suspicion is that there is a sensor somewhere that has failed....

I have a Toshiba laptop with Vista OS. The toolbar at the bottom of the screen moved to the right side with the start button in the upper right hand corner. I cannot click on the start button in order to shut down the computer. When I click on it I get a menu, but not the shut down option. How do I change it so I can shut down.???

So I picked up this stolen and stripped ap1 at a killer price from an auto auction and it is missing the ecu, the gauge cluster and the bezzle with start button. It has the keys and the ignition lock. If I hook up the battery, turn the key to on, is there a wire I can put 12V to and turn the engine over to make sure it isn't seized? I know it won't start without the ECU but I just want to crank...

I've been running Security Essentials for a few months now, and no complaints. However, I've noticed that after starting the PC (or after a reboot), clicking on the start button for the first time results in a 10 to 15 second delay before any menu choices are visible. This seems to affect both the Vista and Classic start menu. After that first delay, the start button responds normally for the ...
