..

so did u get it back ? if so then what did you do to get it back?

 

[Jeannette]

Yeah, I did get it back.

I re-established the OS.

Sorry bout my late response but I use Windows so rarely these days that I forget these little things...

The start menu disappearing is an indication of the desktop going haywire, it happens quite a bit. The process that runs the desktop (start menu, window list, system tray, desktop icons etc) is called explorer.exe and it has a way of f. up quite often. What you do is the good old 3 finger salute (ctrl+alt+del) to bring up the task list. Then from the menu, choose "Run" and type explorer.exe.

For that matter, the next time your desktop is malfunctioning, do the same, kill explorer first and then restart it.

Finally, explorer.exe != Internet Explorer.

In my case didn't work.

If explorer.exe is running already, kill it. Then restart it.

How exactly do you run a process? I end stuff sometimes and have to restart to get them back.

 

[Martin]

Use the run function in the task manager. Or start menu > run.
