Start Button Not Working - Nothing Actually Launches When Clicked

Mar 25, 2011

Yesterday my girlfriend asked me to look at her computer because her start button wasn't working and when I checked it, I confirmed this to be true. Neither the orb, nor the windows key activates the start menu. When I click it, the highlight flashes on it for a second but then nothing actually launches.

I have tried and set the menu properties back to the default settings and it still doesnt work. I've looked up if there could be another problem and found out it may be a problem with the registry, however i can't get into the start menu and run the elevated command prompt so i can check it and make sure.

Wireless Switch Button / F2 Button Not Working / Disabled

Jun 9, 2011

recently I used a software AVG PC Tuneup and it has never been a problem for me until a couple of days ago when I decided to install it on my DELL. Now, I went to system advisory and did a system scan on recommended settings, I pressed 'fix selected' and my Wifi was disabled, I tried everything. I can't get my wifi to work without plugging in my modem directly ot my pc. I noticed my wifi radio was disabled, so I pressed the F2 button but nothing worked. I am trying to re enable my wifi radio / wireless radio connection button but it won't work.

My program intel my wifi utility tells me my wifi is disabled but I can't enable it.

System information
Manufacturer: Dell
PC Model: Inspiron N5010
System Type: 64-bit
Windows 7 Professional
Screen Caps

Start Button Is Missing?

Mar 22, 2011

At first I thought it was kinda of interesting but later I realized it was going to drive me nuts not having it there. (It still works, I just click on the blank spot) I don't how it happened, my guess is my wife did something....she only uses it for facebook and myspace.And I just found out that it only disapears when i change the taskbar's settings to auto-hide.I sniped a pic of it.

Start Button Disappears?

Sep 24, 2012

Occasionally, when on a web page with pictures/video/flash, the screen will "freeze" and have some random colored pixels appear or sometimes it will just go black. Sometimes when this happens the whole system will remain locked. Other times it will recover and I will get a notification balloon saying the the graphics driver has stopped and recovered from an error. I've looked for answers to this on the web and I have seen reference to it being caused by a Windows timeout waiting for a response from the video card. Is there a way to modify (extend) the timeout value to try to prevent this? I have the latest drivers. In my case the graphics card is NVidea Quadro FX 1800M on a Dell Precision M4500 notebook (8G RAM). OS: Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

Program List From The Start Button

Nov 10, 2009

I hope this is the correct place to ask this question. I come from Window XP. I am used to see my long list of programs all spread out so I can see what I have w/o scrolling.

Is there a way to fully display my installed programs w/o scrolling in such a small window above the start button? Have I asked this clearly? LOL. Sometimes, I may not iterate what I am trying to ask.
