  1. Why do I keep having to restart Windows Explorer in order to be able to click on things?


    I have this problem on multiple computers with very different specs. I'll be able to open the Start menu, but can't click on any applications. In fact, all Windows OS stuff is not responsive. But I'll be able to use all my open apps just fine. I can get it to work again by starting Windows Explorer. But it will happen again within the next hour or two, and I'll have to restart Windows Explorer again.

    Anyone?

  3. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE (AMOUNGST OTHER THINGS) TO BE ABLE TO TYPE IN GREEK.

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.



    In order to understand the issue in a better manner, I would like to ask you a few questions.


    • Have you tried the settings in Internet Explorer?


    I suggest you to follow the below method and check if you can type in Greek language.

    Follow these steps to add a language to Internet Explorer.


    • Open Internet Explorer from desktop.

    • Click the Tools button, and then click
      Internet Options.

    • Click the General tab, and then click
      Languages.

    • In the Language Preference dialog box, click
      Add.

    • In the Add Language dialog box, select Greek language from the list, and then click
      OK.

    • Repeat steps d and e until you have added all of the languages you want to use.

    • Click OK twice.
    Note: If you are unable to see tool
    option, I suggest you to right click on the Internet Explorer and mark Menu bar as visible.

    Check if it helps.

    If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us again. We will be happy to assist you further.



    Thank you.
