rainman Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Maybe Windows isn't installed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 No start button; that’s unusual. Perhaps the seller went a bit too far when he wiped the hard disk before selling his computer? As a temporary solution, you can press the Windows key on your keyboard. That‘s the key at the bottom left, between the Ctrl and the Alt keys. It does the same as clicking on the start key. As it is a second-hand computer, you may want to erase the hard disk once more – a general safety precaution – and then re-install Windows. -------------- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Traveller Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Do you get any icons on sceen? What does your screen look like? As suggested what happens when you press the 'Windows' key? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It could be locked to one of the other edges (left, right, or top) so hitting the Windows logo key should show it in one of these locations. Or move the cursor to the far top, left and right to see if it pops out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Traveller Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Try right click ->Arrange Icons -> Show Desktop Icons. Place cursor at the very bottom left corner {you may need to try each corner of someone has pre-configured hide to side or top of screen} of the screen. Right click you may get a different menu, if so Properties ->Task Bar ensure Auto hide is unchecked, check Lock and check Quick Launch then click [Apply] Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
