Windows 8.1 Side menu(s) doesn't work

Hello.
My start button has not been working properly for a while(bottom left corner of the screen), but since I could use my start button on my keyboard, I've not payed too much attention to it.
Today the problem evolved. My side bars stopped working, I could not use the right side bar nor the left side bar. This happened while my I could not use my start button, which meant i could not shift windows, and I could not even reboot, since I had to
use the right side menu for that (alt+f4 did not work..).
Besides this, I was playing the video game "League of Legends", and my mouse moved independent of my commands. I had problems with my internet browser too (Google Chrome), where the windows would just close when I tried to shift to that window,
and I could simply not type anything in the html bar.
I am using windows 8.1, and I have no clue what the problem(s) is. Please help, since my laptop is pretty much useless when I can maneuver the mouse properly and can't shift the windows either.

I tried that and it did not help.
If i try to refresh my system, can I do that on my own? or do I need discs or a drive for something (never done that before)
yeah, you do need a Windows installation dic if you want to refresh your system. You can refer to the link below for more details:

Help!! My menu button doesn't work anym

Hi, I have Nomad Zen jukebox usb 2.0 20Gb, suddenly my menu button doesn't work, there is no reaction when i press the menu button, but the other buttons work very well. Without menu button, i can't load any songs, so my mp3 player is useless. As an information, before i cleaned up the playlist, the player can play songs. Any response will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you tried resetting the player and running a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

Hp2311x menu button doesn't work

I have an hp 2311x monitor. I've been using is with a PC with DVI for a couple of years. I hooked it up to a new computer with VGA only. I can't get the menu to display so that I can change it to VGA. The menu button doesn't work. It did briefly one time, but it didn't take my input. How do I get the menu to come up? This is driving me crazy.

HT3176 Menu button doesn't work

Menu button doesn't work I can scroll up and down but when I hit the menu it doesn't even push

This has happened to me before. What has happened (if it is the same problem as mine) is the spinwheel has been shifted. What I did was just poped it back in place. You can do this by just pressing the play/pause button down or the skip buttons, just mess around with it until it pops back in place. Otherwise, I don't know what is wrong with it.

Insert SIM no Signal Menu button doesn't work

Hi,
I have Virgin Nokia 5800 firmware V40, it's currently locked to the Virgin network. When I place another network SIM ( O2 or Orange) the phone boots up but shows no signal and the menu button doesn't work. I want to unlock and have been given a unlock code by Virgin but I'm expecting to see a SIM Restriction message but nothing. Confused - anyone help or had a similar problem?

Will Apple change my earphone ,,because it doesn't work..??

You can't whilst you have a balance on it, you can try contacting iTunes support via this page and ask them if they can remove it so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

[SOLVED] openbox menu command doesn't work with &&

I'm now using openbox-session only.
I'd like to run a program after something was done correctly:
zenity --question && killall openbox
I used "obmenu" and it seems that it fixes & to & correctly in the menu.xml.
However, the previous command "zenity" is run only.
In terminal, there's no problem, but it doesn't work with "command" in openbox menu.
<item label="Exit">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
zenity --question --title="Exit" --text="Are you sure to go back to console?" && killall openbox
</execute>
</action>
</item>
Please, give me any idea. Thank you.

Anyone?
Thanks!

Menu looping doesn't work?!?!?

Hi there,
pls help me in this... I'm a Mac user. I'm had been using encore since 1.5v. Now to CS5 with same setting... How come it doesn't work?
I had created a 30sec video of .mov.
Open up encore. Created a menu at Photoshop and import it into encore as a menu with just the buttons, two of it, 1 and 2, with no background as I wanted to have the 30sec video of .mov as the background. I import the 30sec video into the project panel name background.mov. I pull and drop on to the menu with the Alt key then it will drop in as the background. After that, I then check on the Menu panel >Motion, checked, video is there, audio set as nothing, duration is 30secs, uncheck animate buttons, Loop Point as 00:00:00:00, Loop#: Forever.
Then I burn the disc with a DVD-R.
Test on my DVD Player, it just won't work, the DVD menu just loop once and then it will automatically play the DVD. What's wrong?!? I'm going crazy... If u know my mistake, pls do send me a email at [email protected] I hope is not the software problem...

You're right, startMenu does absolutely nothing.... I saw it
on the adobe video workshop and it didnt refer to anything in their
fla either.. as far as i know..
and yes menu exists on frame 1 of actions, its off the stage
but its there since you told me to make it available...
about the child part, yes it is, Do i have to import the
parent and assign it the child??
i sent you the link to the fla

I have several separators that appeared in my bookmarks list without me adding them. How do I delete them? I already tried right click/cut, right click/delete in the bookmark menu-that doesn't work.

I have several separators that appeared in my bookmarks list without me adding them. How do I delete them? I already tried right click/cut, right click/delete in the bookmark menu and directly on the list-that doesn't work.

If you can't delete them in the normal way in the Bookmarks Manager then you may have a problem with the file places.sqlite.

Windows Server 2008 - Now F11 Recovery doesn't work

Greetings all--
I decided to experiment with my TouchSmart 504 and installed Windows Server 2008 (32 bit). However, since 2008 doesn't seem to like the onboard NIC, I wanted to go back to Vista 64, but now the F11 option to go into system recovery doesn't work. No matter how many times I press it, it just goes back into W2K8. Being something less than smart, I didn't make any recovery disks (couldn't find where to do so). I've ordered the recovery media, but is there anything I can do in the meantime?
Thanks in advance.

You did the right thing - use recovery discs. To see if the recovery data is still on the HD, go in and see if you still have the recovery partition on the hard drive.
