Icon Cache Problems

[Arc]

computer ai 201, please dont take me otherwise, I have dealt with such issues previously .... no known fixes worked there.

In such a situation, you can do only one thing, that is a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html .

You need not to use start button at all to do it.

I will try the repair install and let you know how it goes.

Hit the Windows Key on the keygoard (W-Flag) it should bring up the start selection.
Another option.

For some of you:
With Win 7, the key sequence to run task manager is:
Hold down CTRL + SHIFT.
while holding them down tap ESC
release all keys

 

[Layback Bear]

I still don't know whether the Windows Flag Key works for the OP. If it does he can go anywhere from there. Ctrl/Tab/Esc also works.

 

[karlsnooks]

Believe you meant to say Ctrl + SHIFT + Esc.

But sfc needs to be run from an elevated command prompt.

But sfc needs to be run from an elevated command prompt.

The OP should be able to hit the Windows key, type "cmd", and when the program is displayed in the menu, he should be able to right click on it and run as administrator.

karlsnooks,

Why? I've got no need to run it.

Or was that for the OP? If so, Layback Bear has already linked to it, so I don't think there's a need to try and open a command prompt via Task Manager.

F5ing,
For you, so that you would see that the admin permission does not come into play.

Neither does Task Manager.

The tutorial references booting from repair or install disks, so the installed OS and associated permissions/security aren't even involved, and Task Manager isn't utilized. Pretty much the same with any boot disk.

I was trying to show the OP different ways to get the same results that you get when ticking the Start Orb. Once there the OP can run cmd or what ever. Ctrl/Tab/Esc will get the same results as the Start Orb or the Windows Flag Key. I think we lost the OP. Come back OP.

Yes, I realize that Layback Bear. I think you nailed it back in post #23 by providing the link describing how to run it offline, after the OP mentioned the trouble with getting to a command prompt, much less an elevated command prompt (probably easier for the OP than use of runas within command prompt).

The OP was on the forum about 6 hrs ago, although can't tell if there was a visit to this thread.

I think he did a repair install and forgot about this thread .
