I have resolved most of the issue's I had by using Microsoft's on line video tutorials. The only thing left is the start button. I'm typing on my Dell laptop with windows 7 and start button is rectangular. The problem has been all along on my windows 7 desk top which now has a round start button. It used to have a rectangular start button. Any hope?
