My start menu is missing a shutdown button and the run command. I'm running Windows XP Home edition btw.

ctrl+alt+del to bring up the task manager.

click on the "Applications" tab then click the "New Task..." button and type in regedit

WindowsKey+R will also bring up the Run dialog.

Also, you should be able to get the Run button back byright-clicking the Start button, selecting Properties, clicking Customize, then the Advanced tab. There's a list of all the crap you can enable/disable, including the Run command.

Like Urza mentioned, it could be some malware affecting your computer.

Also, sometimes system administrators remove those buttons on purpose. Do you have anyone else that uses that computer?

If you cannot open the run dialog, perhaps you could get in the command prompt and run "regedit"

it is ok people. I did a system restore to yesterday and it works now. I'm doing a virus scan to check on any nasty things.

@Scarlem: I AM the system administrator lol

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
