Error Message:
Some Items Cannot Be Shown.
Translation:
Sometimes this error message appears because there are too many entries on the All Programs menu to be displayed on the screen.
Solution:
To free space, right-click superfluous shortcuts and click Delete. As an alternative, right-click the Start button, click Explore, and expand the Programs entry on the left. In the right pane, right-click an empty area, expand New, click Folder, and name the newly created folder. Now you can drag and drop some of the other entries into this folder. For example, create a folder called “Games” and drop all of your entertainment-related All Programs entries into that folder. Now when you expand All Programs, the Games folder shows up, and expanding that folder lets you access the list of shortcuts you put there. This is a great way to organize your software and simultaneously reduce the number of entries in the All Programs list.
You might also try using small icons on the Start menu. Right-click an empty area of the Taskbar, click Properties, select the Start Menu tab, click Customize, and select the Small Icons radio button. Click OK and expand the Start menu to see if the error goes away.
The last resort is the one most likely to work: Increase the resolution of the Desktop. The resolution determines how much information you can pack onto the monitor, and increasing it allows for more icons, toolbar items, and other data. Remember, though, that increasing the resolution makes everything smaller to compensate. Right-click the Desktop, click Properties, select the Settings tab, and move the screen resolution slider to the right to select 1,024 x 768, 1,152 x 864, 1,280 x 960, or 1,600 x 1,200 (depending on the capabilities of your monitor and video card and your preference for icon and text size). Click Apply to change to the new resolution and the error message should not appear if you’ve selected a high enough resolution to allow the entire All Programs list to be displayed.
