Menu bar at bottom of screen does not repond during normal use ie unable access menu to make call etc but works when i use the slider to unlock the phone when turning it on . what is the problem and how can i fix it?

Assuming youve checked every volume slider there is (the one in whatever program your using, the one on the bottom right corner of the screen by the clock, and the master volume.....
Thab go to your start button on the bottom left of the screen (where you normally access all your programs), there should be a little "search bar" on the bottom of that list. Type on "device manager", scroll down the list and locate your speakers, right click and than go to properties. First try "update driver", if that doesn't work than click "Uninstaller driver" and restart your computer. That should do it.

Here are a few things you can do or try

Restart the computer. If you are already in Windows, you can do this from the Windows Start menu, go to Turn off computer and click Restart. As the computer restarts, watch for a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. press F8 about once every second. Immediately press F8 before the progress bar reaches the right side of the screen. From the Windows Start-up menu, highlight Safe Mode and press Enter. Wait for your desktop to appear, and then make the necessary repairs (for example, uninstall programs or devices). When the repairs are done, restart the computer, and allow it to boot normally.

Alternate:

From the Windows Start menu, click Run. In the Open field, type MSCONFIG and click Ok. On the BOOT.INI tab, check /SAFEBOOT.

Click Restart when prompted.

Turn Off the computer, now as soon as you hit the power button, keep on holding "Alt" key & keep on tapping "F10 key,ie: Alt+F10, it will open the recovery console ,select full factory restore and follow on screen instruction. (Note:this will erase all datas on the computer)

or

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup

Most probably you pressed the F11 key in the upper key row on your keyboard, and it entered "full screen" mode.
Press F11 to exit full screen mode, this should do the trick.

If this is not the case, please come back and write a comment to that effect, we'll try to assist you further.
Good luck :)

Right Click on an open spot on your desktop.

If your Operating System is Windows XP, choose Properties from the menu box that pops up when you right click.

A new window will open up. Click the Settings tab at the top right.
On this menu you should see a slider bar near the bottom left under "Screen Resolution". Left Click and hold the mouse button on the grey button and move it on the slider bar over to the right one spot. Then click the Apply button on the bottom right of the box. The screen may flicker for a second and your desktop will change size. If the screen covers the whole monitor and the black bars are gone, that may be the correct resolution. Click OK on the box that has a timer and is asking if you want to keep the screen that size. If the screen does not look correct, click No and you may need to slide the button one more spot over and try the next resolution and Apply until it looks correct.

Under the slider bar as you move it over a line at a time will be 2 numbers like this 1024 X 800, and when you move the bar over the numbers will change. I believe the optimal resolution setting numbers for the 20" monitor you have should be 1680 X 1050 for the widescreen. You may want to try that setting. If it looks too small, try sliding the bar to the left and try each resolution setting.

Here's a screetshot of what the Box with the slider bar looks like: http://technophobik.co.uk/vxp_control_panel/f007_settings.asp

If you have Windows Vista, (it is similiar to XP):

Click the Start Button and click Control Panel in the Start Menu
Click Appearance and Personalization in the new window that opens up.
Click Personalization, then click Display Settings at the bottom
A new box will pop up with the grey button on a slider bar near the bottom left under "Resolution" Slide the button to the right to the next line one spot over on the slider bar and then click the Apply button. The screen may flicker and change the size of your desktop. Click OK if the screen looks correct or click No if it doesn't look correct and try sliding the button over one more line.

Set the Ink Intensity (Windows) The Intensity setting controls the amount of ink placed on the paper. The higher the intensity the darker (more ink) the printed image will be. If the Intensity setting is set too high, the printed page may become too wet and curl or streak. Follow the instructions below to adjust the ink intensity settings.

1. Access the printing preferences by opening the printer Preferences / Properties.

Re: above question - Samsung E720 cell phone -  I am still getting same message when trying to make calls  :-  'all calls from this number are barred'    -   How do I turn it off or unlock this call barring. . I recently bought the phone and dont have any codes etc.  All the headings in the menu under 'Network Services' are in grey lettering instead of black , ie they are unaccessible,  ie 'call barring' 'call waiting' 'network selection' etc etc. phone was working before , so it must be something straightforward right?   Ian.

hi i hope u will fine .actually i have unlock my mobile samsumg sgh-e720 but i dont no who it is activate. plz send me puk coad of sgh-e720
thanks

My phone once resisted the bottom "unlock" slider for about 10 seconds. I think I just waited and tried again and it worked. If that doesn't work for you, run the battery down all the way.

Besides, once the iPhone boots up, it should go straight to the home screen, right? Not to the "locked" screen with the slider and wallpaper.
