After one of the automatic updates for Windows I noticed that now all I can
access from my start menu are Open Explore and Scan with AVG. All other
functions like search and log off turn off ect.. are no longer there. If I
try to access it thru control panel the dialogue box flashes and disapears.
Also if I left click the start button it indents then comes back with no
affect. Any suggestions?

Mark,
Thanks for the reply.
The only issue is the first line is left click start menu for all programs.
I do not have that option. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Karl

The Task Manager, available when you right click the taskbar, will offer a
"New task" button on the "Applications" tab, which will let you run the
command:
SFC /SCANNOW

Try typing

cmd /ksfc /scannow

This will leave the window open so you can read what it says.

You are not entering the command properly.
Copy and paste

SFC /SCANNOW

into the box and do it again.

Thanks,
When I do that I get "You must be an administrator Running a console session
in order to use the sfc utility."

Run SFC from an elevated Command Prompt. To open an elevated Command Prompt,
click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command
Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
