View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just recently bought a new PC, and 2 weeks later I'm having issues with it already. [code] So anyways, everything worked like a charm first week or so. I was well impressed. Then I had some issues with my 5.1 surround system; after trying everything possible software-wise, I got talked into re-installing Windows 7 to fix the sound problem I was having with the speakers. Foolish decision it turned out to be, not only it didn't help me solve the sound problem, but now I can't even install Catalyst Drivers anymore.after I re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (all clean and proper of course), and applied all the updates/fixes through Windows Update Action Center etc - I need to install AMD Catalyst Control Center in order to make my graphics show up on device manager/work. When I install it, and it asks for restart after (so it can complete the install and apply it), my Windows won't load proper. Firstly a black screen appears shortly (intead of standard "Welcome" screen), and then few moments later desktop appears with no taskbar or any icons on it. I'm not even able to opet task manager or anything, my whole computer seems to freeze up.
I have tried installing graphics drivers from the original disc I received with my card, I've tried downloading it manually (and through the Windows Update as well); no matter what way I install it, after the reboot my desktop won't load, my Windows doesn't start proper.I have installed 3 different versions of Windows 7 Ultimate ever since, I've tried pretty much everything that crossed my mind and I'm still rather clueless about the whole thing. Does anyone know what the problem might be, and/or how can it be fixed? I can't play a single game meanwhile, matter a fact I can't even get my graphics to show up under device manager (until I install AMD CCC).
My icons disappeared from my desktop after a restart!

1) Every time I restart my computer the icons on the desktop are completely scrambled. Thankfully I have a program that will restore them to their proper position. Originally I thought this may be due to an infection so I ran MalwareBytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware Free and both of them had no infections.
2) Also, on restart two open windows appear.
Computer > OS(C:) > Program Data > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > Programs > Startup > -Disabled
Computer > OS(C:) > User > My Name > Appdata > Roaming > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu >
Programs > Startup > -Disabled
3) I have two icons on my desktop, Libraries and Home Group, that I am unable to remove.
4) Sometimes when I start a program requiring User Account Control, verification is required twice. First on the taskbar and then with the UAC window. Other times only with the UAC window.

While I work on worksheets, I often save the files to the desktop for easy attachment to emails when I have completed my work. On two occasions now I have been saving the files to the desktop as I usually do but when I go to the desktop the files are not there.If I look in the desktop folder, they are there. Running 64 bt Windows 7 Professional and scan for Malware yielded no issues.
p.s. When I reboot the files do appear on the desktop ....
I did a search on this and could not find anything. Once in awhile my desktop will have a bunch of random files I deleted a long time ago. I always empty it too. There won't be anything in the recycle bin or on the desktop and then I'll go to look at it after awhile and some other group of files will be there. I have tried the whole "rd /s /q C:$Recycle.bin" on every drive on my computer. Windows is installed on C:. It isn't even the same group of files each time, it is just random files I've deleted over the past 2 months. I noticed a folder for a demo install of InDesign comes up a lot and says it is in use when I try to re-delete it, could Adobe's crap software be breaking it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the last few days my Toshiba Satellite L745-S43210 hasn't been working right. Recently it won't boot up properly. It started to boot up and then it would freeze up seconds after showing my desktop. I managed to go into safe mode and use msconfig to change start up programs and turn it to only the essential items. After that it worked and I tried turning everything back on and it worked fine last night. I assumed it was just overheating from being used so much in the last few days. Now today when I tried starting it up I was able to enter my password but the screen went black with my mouse pointer working. I turned it off and tried again a few times before going into safe mode.
I went back into msconfig again and turned it back to only essential programs and I performed a virus scan with Super Anti-Spyware and Malware Bytes and the only thing that they found were cookies. I cleared them out and booted up windows again and it worked fine. Now I am trying to select only certain programs and choose only the Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba programs/services and now when I boot it up I don't even get the the text box to enter my password, it just shows the blue windows start up screen. Right now I am using Safe Mode With Networking to type this and try messing with start up programs again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a toolbar on my taskbar titled "Programs". It has about eight folders in it. I made another toolbar, and placed it directly adjacent to the Programs toolbar, to obscure the eight folders and force it to be a dropdown menu.Trouble is, as soon as I lock my taskbar, right next to the arrow that displays the eight items of my Programs toolbar in menu-form, one of the eight items is showing up as an icon, as if the other toolbar isn't close enough to the Programs toolbar in order to completely obscure the eight items.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I save files from programs (aka Word, Photoshop, anything)onto my Desktop, I cannot see them directly from the actual desktop. I can only see them when I open up Explorer, and click on the Desktop tab. Then all my files are visible. I thought they were hidden...but they apparently aren't.It possibly seems like a refresh error.I did find a way around this..I go to Control Panel >> Appearance and Personalization >> Under Folder Options >> Show Hidden Files and Folders. I click on Reset folders, Apply, and then OK, and my missing files pop up on my actual desktop.But from then on, any new files I save are only visible in Explorer again. I don't want to go to Control Panel everytime I have to save something to the desktop? I've run Norton and Microsoft Essentials and I have no viruses. What can I do?I just found out I can also see my files after pressing f5 (refresh)so I guess the problem is HOW do I get my computer to refresh the desktop automatically?
