I used to be able to right-click buttons in the Task Bar and get a popup that listed the last documents/links/etc. that I had opened with that app along with other shortcuts for the app. A while back (beyond my earliest restore point), that changed.I still get the popups but no more listings of the last resources used and other things that are missing in those popups. Has anyone experienced this bizarre behavior? I have no clue what caused it or, more importantl
Setting up a new Windows 7 install and goofed up the computer name and didnt immediately notice. I had already setup a task to run upon logon when I noticed that the PC's name was all jacked. So I changed the pc's name and rebooted. After reboot the task disappeared from the task scheduler list but still runs. Is there anyway to remove this ghost task when it is no longer visible in the task scheduler?I thought about changing the name back temporarily to see if the task would show up but I have no idea what that name was, so that is not an option.
I am having a problem on my system, when I go to a web site (don't matter what one) I cant see all of the little pics that are suppose to be there, its like half of my stuff on the screen is missing, thought it was flash player, but that's not it.

I have a Toshiba Satallite with Windows 7 installed. I now have no start button, windows task bar and all of my desktop icons have gone missing.
When I restart the laptop (via CTRL + ALT + DEL) I see all of the missing items listed for about 10 seconds...then they all disappear. What I have left is my personalised background image (my cute 2 month old nephew with my sunglasses) and a windows explorer window. Nothing else.
So far I have managed to access my Virus protection software (AVG) and run a scan. It didn't find anything. I ran my spyware application (Spybot Search and Destroy) again nothing.
what I can do to get my laptop back to a usable state?
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.
I am having issues with my computer. I had all of my icons and task bar on my computer, but now they are not there. The only thing I am able to do is pull up the task manager and nothing else. I do not want to shut the PC down illeagally as there is a new hard drive on the system.
i'm new to this forum. My task manager is missing. If i press ctrl-alt-del, usually there is a menu that contain:
-Lock this computer -switch user -log off -change a password... -task manager
But now the Task Manager is missing! I don't know why! My computer is not just used by me, my brother and mother usually used it. I ask them but they said they don't know. Then is tried to search the task manager from 'start'. There is "View running process with Task Manager". I click it, but then show up a letter "Task manager has been disabled by your administrator."
When I access Task Manager the window opens and Task Manager operates fine;howeverthere is no way to exit. There is no minimize maximize close in the top right corner.The only way I can exit the program is to manually shut down the computer and re-boot.
I have a problem with my task manager as it will not load the running applications windows properly. I searched for a way to re-install only to find that it looks like my mstask.inf file (needed to re-install) is missing!
For some strange reason the refresh button on Mozilla Firefox 9 (also on Explorer 8) have vanished from my computer. I can't get a reasonable answer searching,
Had an automtic update occur last night for Win 7 PC and this morning the Excel Logo on the Excel Button is missing. I use to be able to associate the program with the Logo in XP, but do not know how this is done in Win 7.
my other computer if I right click internet explorer it usually comes up with tasks like "start in private browsing" or "new tab"just installed a new windows 7 on my computer and when i right click internet explorer it has only unpin and run when I right click it, no tasks?
For some reason task manager folder got deleted when I try to open task manager it says this: "Windows cannot find 'C:windowssystem32 taskmgr.exe make sure you typed the name in correctly".
After downloading some windows updates including Internet Explorer version 9 my task menus tools (like favorites, history etc) disappeared. How do I retrieve them?
I've just installed Windows 7 SP1. When I open up and use any USB I get a bubble warning:"This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-Speed USB port. For a list of available ports click here."There is a box to tick that is supposed to stop this annoying pop-up but it does not seem to work.
Every 5 minutes, C:Windowssystem32 would pop up automatically. The folder would just pop up automatically while I'm doing a task such as browsing the web. I have use avast and malwarebytes to search for antimalware activities and I have found nothing. Does anyone else have a solution for this? The folder browser does not pop-up on start-up but rather a couple minutes after. The timing for when it pops up is random. It sometimes doesn't do it for over an hour and sometimes it only takes 5 minutes.
These type of advertisments I find really irritating in the extreme - posted another "general" comment in another topic
However how do I STOP these -- the popup blocker does a passable job but these little boxes that popup randomly just over the bit you are reading ARE REALLY IRRITATING.
The people who write this type of code must really have bird size brains if they think ANY PRODUCT will be sold via this type of commercial - in fact it would PUT ME OFF BUYING that product for all time.
A lot more sites are beginning to use this insidious method of advertising as a way to get round traditional "pop-up" blockers.
Well this has happened twice, a program asks for admin privileges and then everything I open requests it. for example, steam did it earlier and then my screencap program and others. I log off and log back on and its fixed, whats wrong? Is it just a glitch?
I was wondering if there is a generic way to take permissions away from a program that will pop up and take me out of full screen(like when playing a game). I would like to block all programs from being able to do this except perhaps my anti-virus. I don't care if a download finished, while I'm in a game.
The current offending program is Download Accelerator Plus. If it is a case-by-case basis, does anyone know how to disable it in DAP?
I am currently running Windows 7 with Gmail via Google Chrome & Windows Live Mail 2011. In both email systems when I select "attachment" the window will open but has no menu bar where I can select the appropriate drive or folder of the file I wish to attach. Thought it was a Gmail issue, but discovered that Live Mail does the same thing. Wondering if there is a way to get the menu bar back?
Every once in a while I keep getting a flashing pop up at the bottom of my screen saying a Java update is available wanting me to click it. In the past I have done that and got a virus from it. (Bleeping computers helped me get rid of it)I run a scan with avast and malwarebytes that I have installed but they never find a virus. I am just asking if I can trust it or is it a virus thats hidden so well that it cant be detected by avast or maywarebytes?
I waited for weeks in Micosoft Technet for a solution but all that was offered was to kill all non-microsoft processes using msconfig and then ShellExView and it didn't help. No other possible solution/ troubleshooting tips were offered. [code] 98-100% of the time for example, if I try to change my volume, adjust/change the network from the taskbar, the popup window disappears when I attempt to move the mouse away from the right side of the taskbar where these icons live.Another example of the behavior is that I cannot use the Calender dropdown in Outlook 2010. I can still input the date myself, just that the dropdown loses or never gains focus.If I uninstall nvidia and use Win 7 64bit vanilla vga the problem still exists unless I also uninstall the vanilla drivers and NOT reboot. For this short window of opportunity, I can use dropdowns and popups.I have bought new mouse and keyboard to attempt to eliminate them as culprits, but all have been USB types so would still be using the same drivers, I believe, and I have not installed special drivers for them.Have uninstalled video drivers and Clean Sweep(ed) numerous times.
all of a sudden pop ups / menus / flyouts (or whatever they're called) are now coming up on the left side of the mouse cursor, not the normal right side.
For example, on the Desktop of you right click on an icon to view properties, the menu is on the left (the top right of the menu is at the cursor point). If you go to a sub-menu, such as 'Send To,' it flies out even further to the left instead of on the right.
Is this maybe some sort of Left Hand/Right Hand setting or the like?
I only learnt about this a couple of weeks ago!If you want to make the Aero Peek button at the far right of your Taskbar into a plain and simple Show Desktop button:Simply right-click the Aero Peek button and un-check the "Peek at desktop" option. Et Voila!! That's it!
