    Lost my buttons on the bottom
    « on: September 08, 2012, 01:31:00 PM »
    I cannot see the buttons at the bottom where I can open things.  Lots of changes lately.  Cannot see Sykp and more.

    If you want assistance you need to describe your problem IN DETAIL. EXACTLY what is going on? WHAT buttons are missing? What does "lots of changes lately" mean? What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?

    The more information you provide, the more likely it is we can assist you.

      I cannot send you what it looks like because I cannot open Word or Exel or any other programs.  Lots of changes because many things have moved up of the screen that used to be at the bottom.

        If I reduce the programs that are open, then I can see the icons at the bottom.  I am trying to send a screen-shot but it won't load.

        Press 'Print Screen' to put the screenshot on the clipboard.

        Open Paint; Click Start, then Programs, then Accessories, then Paint.   (Alternatively press Windows-Key + R, then type in mspaint.exe and press Enter)

        Then apply the screen shot by pressing Ctrl + V, and then save with Ctrl + S and save in a convenient location with a name that you can remember.

        Now you can upload the screen shot.


        Also, do you happen to know what OS you are using; Windows Vista or Windows 7?

          I made a screen shot and put it on word.  Will that work?

          Save it (as a PDF, ODF or RTF if possible) and upload anyway?

          Worth a try.

            Click on the reply button, then when replying click 'Additional Options...', then click on the 'Browse...' button under the title of 'Attach:', this should let you choose the PDF.

            Then click 'post' and it should upload the file for us to see.

              Also, I suggest you delete this topic / that post if you fix it as we can see everything in that screen shot including your name and your friends' names that are shown.

                When I click F11 in an empty area of the desktop, it brings me back to you.
