The crescent is part of windows – first introduced in vista – which appears when you hover in the middle at the top of the screen. It provides a quick link to 6 areas.
Security, Communication, office, entertainment, internet and anti-virus. It is very annoying as it crops up when navigating the desktop if you stray near that area.

I formatted the partition on which Windows 7 was located, but on startup, I still have to choose to start Windows XP on Boot Manager. How do I get rid of the boot manager?
I don’t have the CD I installed XP from, nor do I have the DVD I installed ’7′ from.

TIA
Windows 7 isnt on the list though…

When I start XP the icons and the start menu appear normally for a few seconds and then disappear. My mouse cursor still works, and I can open and execute programs through the task manager. Can somebody please help me with this? Please!

I downloaded windows vista inspirat and it had one thing i didn’t like which was the revert to windows classic on every start up. I uninstalled that software thinking it would change back to vista’s theme on each start up but that proves false. Any help on how to keep my start up theme to vista every time?
