Delete The Icon And Create A New One. No Change
Mar 10, 2010My desktop shortcuts with the program Icons have a white/windows shield over them. I can see the actual Icon behind the white. This occurred after I uninstalled an Adobe program Photoshop Elements 8.0 What I have tried:
1. Delete the icon and create a new one. No change.
2. Change icon in properties. No change the new one appears with the covering.
3. System Restore to an earlier point. No change all the desktop icons are covered over.

Jun 27, 2009Never use sleep function but last night instead of selecting shutdown hit sleep by mistake. Couldn't get system to wake from sleep and had to turn off by holding power button. Today when switching system back on i get fan & case lights on , hdd and dvd activity. The keyboard is unresponsive (no lights) and monitor remains in stand by. Mouse gets power but doesn't wake pc. Using reset or power button on case just restarts system to exact condition above. Can't contact pc manufacturer til monday (pc 4 months old). Read quite a few other posts regarding vista sleep issues but haven't found anything that would seem to rectify this problem.

Dec 16, 2008A tiny bit of background story here. My sister is visiting and she has a habit of toying around with and messing my mothers laptop up. Now for what we thought we should do: We created my sister her own account, and I was under the impression that my mums login was an "Administrator". Now I made the mistake of deny access for "all users" to the C: thinking that her login would still have access. So now, I've tried booting in safe mode, opening the cmd prompt as the administrator, type net user administrator /active:yes. I logged in as the new Administrator login, but still cannot make any changes to the permissions on her C:. I can't change the owner either. I cannot create another user even. I'm lost and we can't even do a system restore. Getting which apparently has to do with permissions (gee, what a surprise).

Jun 10, 2009I recently messed up real bad. I was playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 for PC. And I went into the documents folder to try to delete the last saved game. When I did I made a mistake and changed the folder with a GCF file in it to open the GCF files with adobe reader. Now I can't figure out what program it originally was suppose to open with. So my question is: How do I change the GCF file folder back to it's default settings so it will open with the program that it's suppose to open with?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCreate An Account For Another User I Cannot Create One, Either Admin Or Standard
Sep 13, 2009I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 (system specs: laptop 2.1 Ghz core 2 duo, 4 gb RAM, 500gb hd (about half full) nvidia 8400M GS, Avira Premium Security Suite). I have had the computer for about a year running fine with 1 main admin account. Now when I need to create an account for another user I cannot create one, either admin or standard. When I create it, using either the control panel or command prompt, it creates the user picture, making the account visible on the control panel user accounts screen, and on logon screen. However, when trying to log into the new account I am greeted with the error "User profile service failed on logon. User profile cannot be loaded." The standard fix for this from various forums is to edit the registry key of the account. However, on going to regedit I see that no key even exists for the account. On further investigation I discover that no user files have been created either. I attempted a system restore, but discovered that all my past restore points were gone, and intruigingly, the computer had stopped createing 24 hour checkpoints. I cannot say for definite whether it was this issue or another one that caused system restore to mess up, as I don't check my system restore all that often. Either way, system restore is not an option. There have been mentions of a full Vista reinstall, though if at all possible I would like to avoid this.

Mar 5, 2009When I install Vista, it wants to force me to create a local account, and it won't let me create one called Administrator, becuase the name is already used (thus the Administrator account exists). I don't want to create some dummy account just just to log in to join the domain. How do I get past the "Choose a user name and picture" screen and log in as Administrator so I can just install the network drivers and join my domain?
View 4 Replies View RelatedPost SP1 Can't See My External
Apr 5, 2008Since I installed SP1 for Vista HP 64x I can no longer access my external hard drive/media player.
When I connect it via USB I get a message saying I need USB to IDE drivers. Windows then offers to search the internet etc but cannot find any. As a result Vista cannot see the drive and I am prevented from accessing nearly 300GB of my photos, music and movies.
This is a personal disaster. My best photographic work is on that drive.
I have had the drive for about a year and it worked perfectly before SP1. It's sold by a firm called Envizage but I believe they are just importers.
I contacted them and they replied that no drivers are required for Vista.
I was not even aware there was an IDE drive in there but I believe it is a 400GB Samsung. Can't check now obviously.
Can Post A Message
Feb 14, 2009since I have had Windows Vista on my computer I can post a message somedays and not others. For some reason I have to press 'POST MESSAGE' several times before it will open the message session. I thought at 1st it may have been the forum itself but went in there today and used my laptoop with Windows XP and was able to leave a message staight away. Is there something I need to do to my computer to allow me into forums?

Aug 22, 2009I am working with a Dell M1330 running Windows Home Premium 32bit. Recently I started to have monitor issues (where the screen would go wonky and unviewable) shortly thereafter the computer would crash and reboot and for awhile worked ok. I contacted Dell Support and had them do an initial diagnosis and they believed the problem to be related to a faulty video card and heat sink. They replaced them but my BSoD has not gone away.
Rather every time I boot the machine the system gets to the log-in screen and then hits a blue screen shortly thereafter. And I have contacted Dell a second time and their solution was to do a Factory Image Restore. This is...unappealing...to me, as I have plenty of software that I can't immediately replace. Currently I can only run in Safe Mode. I have attached, as I saw in other posts the contents of my latest minidump file.

View 8 Replies View RelatedBlack Screen After POST
Nov 25, 2009I can't tell you how many forums I've read to try and find an answer. My computer just will not start, the fans run, seems like it's starting to boot up, I get one POST beep then nothing. No BIOS, no activity on the screen at all, no flickering lights, no beeps, no anything. I am thinking this is a video card issue, I thought I read something that was similar to this. I remember reading about a chip for the on-board video that can me removed and re-installed that re-sets the on board video. Anyone heard of this?
Sure there are a lot of "Black Screen" type issues, but not like this. I noticed, prior to this problem happening about 2 weeks ago, there were a couple Microsoft updates within a few days. After DLing them, the computer seem to load slower and slower with each restart. Then the (true) Black Screen of Death arrived. Since then I have been at a complete loss. Tried all new Power Supply, new RAM, new Hard Drive....same issue. I reset the CLRTC jumper, took the battery out for hours, nothing seems to work.
Ctr Alt Del After Post, Blank Partition
Mar 23, 2008I was having fun with the partitions (I just found the partitioning system in Vista its very neat). Anyways I kinda made a new partition and installed a fresh copy of windows on it, planning to replace my old one. I booted up the new one played around a bit and got off, and booted up the old partition. This is where the problem starts I'm in the old partition and back playing around in the partition stuff again. This time trying to make the new partition bigger, well I shrink the old one but it won't let me expand the old one so there is a blank partition now sitting there. When I click the new one (with vista installed on it) I see make active partition so I click it, it says something like warning this may cause failure if there isn't an bootable sorce on here or something like that so I'm like yea sure. I reboot the computer the bios post then after that is says "ssing" "s ctr alt del".................

Mar 29, 2008Running a SONY VAIO Pentium D with Ultimate SP1 and every now and then when I do a restart or a hard reboot the machine will sit there. All the drives run but no joy and no beep. Then I turn it off and it may start or it may not. This machine is getting near three years old and is on 18+ hours a day. Everything else is fine and there are no other issues with it. I am thinking it may be the mobo battery.

View 4 Replies View RelatedVista Not Always Booting Up - Post Screen
Sep 14, 2008I have the gigabyte eP45-DQ6 motherboard. When booting up, or rebooting, even before I get to the windows loading screen, I get a black screen. Almost like the monitor doesnt turn on but the computer sounds likes on. I reinstalled due to some other issues, but the same issue with loading happens. ITs sporadic. Sometimes it does it, others not. I updated to v11 of BIOS, and it still does it. Otherwise its very stable. Is there a setting in the motherboard? Is it vista related?

Jun 12, 2008I had to re-install Vista after a system crash. I was able to access the restore drive via DOS and pull out the pst (Office 2003) files and copy them to a USB drive. I only had 1 pst file on my system but Vista backed it up to 7 different files. Now when I try to add these files to the restored system I get an error saying the file is not a a personal folders file. I used SCANPST on the largest backed up file and it recovered some of my email but when I try to use SCANPST on the other 6 backup files it says the files are
not personal folders files.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFreezing Before It Really Starts Post Test
Nov 21, 2008I have a relatives PC around my house with a funny problem that maybe you can give me your thoughts on what might cause this issue. First when its at his house sometimes when he turns it on it will sit practically at pre post test and do nothing. System is Asus M2N SLI Deluxe board, Nvidia 8600GT Video, 2Gb DDR2-800 ram, Card reader, floppy drive, 640Gb HDD,AMD x2 4200+, Antec 900 case and Thermaltake 620 watt PSU i think.
But when i bring it over to my place and fire it up it always works perfect? Any thoughts on why it always works at my house but randomly after using it for maybe months it always seem to do the same thing and look like basically its freezing before it really starts post test. Side note after sitting for a couple of days it looses its bios setting and yet its only 11 to almost 12 months old for the PC.
Post SP1, Windows RE (Startup Repair)

I don't believe any changes have been made since then. Naively, I want to question how RE does not know how to work with Vista SP1. Perhaps RE is on the D: partition and was not updated?

View 8 Replies View RelatedFreezing Post-SP2 Installation (and Removal)
Jun 11, 2009I recently replaced a bunch of things in my computer - basically everything other than the drives and sound card. Reactivation was a pain but seemed to go smoothly. I updated all the drivers in ths OS (Vista Ultimate, 32 bit) and let it "burn in" for a couple of days by running Prime95 and keeping an eye on temperatures, stability, etc. Everything worked fine - no apparent problems with hardware or drivers and things would chug along quite nicely.
I notice that SP2 is lurking in Windows updates, so figure what the heck - improve performance and stability a bit. So I went ahead and installed it. Unfortunately, to my dismay, there was a background installation of an updated version of Avira Antivirus that I had forgotten about. Something blew up and I had to hard reboot. SP2 had not been completely installed it (did not go through the part with the reboots). In any event, I tried it again and this time it did finish - no installation problems at all with SP2. Also completed the Avira installation, which also went fine...................
