Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11731 Registered: Jan-08 | C/P of my answer to your idiot thread: Chevez is useless on satellite forum with his C/P pictures and his useless comments on members, he is useless like helper and never help any members but post always idiot things. He is advertized and must take it seriously! Bashing on members is not allowed! Your post count on this forum does not make you a good example! https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/suggestions/602655.html |

Gold Member Username: JustforhahasPost Number: 1940 Registered: Jul-08 | A good simple option to perform when some functions don't work on yer computer is to... unplug your computer and open the casing...then unplug/unsnap/pullout your memory ram chip/s (some have 1, some have 2...lil printed circuit boards), and then blow a lil aerolsol dust remover on the contacts where the chip/s where at....then replug/snap the ram chips back into their original spots, and reboot the computer...this fixes many odd problems sometimes, so yer puter memory works again and remember all its functions....and this is a simple 30 second task fix.. |
Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjOntario Canada Post Number: 3264 Registered: Dec-06 | paul navarro "start Bar" you mean start menu? if you are trying to reload windows XP I would first try to use systems restore b4 you do anything else. PM me and I will get more info from you to help you through this. |
Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjOntario Canada Post Number: 3265 Registered: Dec-06 | OK I re-read your post Paul ... Did you lose the "task bar"? the long bar at the bottom of the screen? Can you get into your control panel settings? look for the icon on the desktop "my computer" then open that and look for the "taskbar and start menu" icon. uncheck auto hide the taskbar. Btw try moving the curser right to the very edge of all sides of the screen it might have gotten moved to the top or sides. |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16630 Registered: Jun-06 | Could it be something as simple as Vertical height setting? You can manipulate this manually. |
Bronze Member Username: DibblydoodaPost Number: 84 Registered: Oct-09 | Maybe its the old hide the taskbar trick. This leaves a small line at the bottom of the screen and when you touch it with your mouse cursor it magically reappears. That is unless someone or something moved it to the right or left or even to the top of the screen and hid it there. Its a pretty cool magic trick to play on someone. Its very easy to fix once you find the taskbar right click on it go to properties and uncheck the auto hide taskbar box. |
Bronze Member Username: Ego2NT Post Number: 48 Registered: Nov-08 | open taskmanager, new task-explorer.exe, if just background no icons, taskbar or start, this will happen if you accidentally kill the explorer.exe process, but it looks like i'm too late as you stated a reformat new os install. |
Silver Member Username: LomnaSac, Calif U.S.A Post Number: 847 Registered: Dec-07 | Paul, choose one guy to help you and PM him or her. Otherwise I don't know what to say. I think reboot is the best option If you can. |
