For a couple of months, my computer won't let me use the start button at all. I have tried different ways of fixing the problem but nothing will come up. I tried pushing the windows start button on the keyboard and that won't work either. Is there anyway of fixing it?

I suspect your computer is loaded up with junk files and is probably in bad need of defragging, scan disk etc...
Evidently you are using your computer ok...but I suspect to get rid of the problem you are looking at reformatting and re-installing everything...
sorry... Anyone else with a better plan??? Steve

I suggest trying to find all your duplicate files and eliminating them because you may not have room left?...have you tried "system mechanic" trial 30 day download...it did wonders on my computer and got rid of (safely)..all my old not used files,duplicate files..etc.
