View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is not a big problem but is quite annoying, sometimes randomly the icons for my start menu programs will disappear and the icon will change to the default one when there is no icon to be found. Just random programs do this and if I go to properties it still says the icon is the old one but shows up as default in the program list. If I just hit apply and ok it changes it back. Is there anyway to prevent this or know why this does happen?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Google Chrome, AOE 3 and a number of other programs on the Administrators account. After reading that its not secure and is a best practice to create a second account for daily use I did that. I created the 2nd account with Administrative Rights, then reduced permissions to the first. However, I see that very few programs are available on the desktop of the newly created desktop. I want to share Chrome, AOE3 etc. for all users.Any ideas, am I missing something. I shouldn't have to reinstall all to the 2nd desktop right?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron with Intel Core I5. After Microsoft installed some updates, all the program and file shortcuts changes to a little square with dots. The same thing happens with shortcuts pinned to the taskbar. How can I get the pictures back? The computer ran a system back-up after this happened, but the desktop was already changed. If I restore the original system back-up from the disk will I lose the information I have added to the computer since then?
View 2 Replies View Related[URL]...Is the site my computer keeps opening, if its already opened chrome will open up a new tab and will continue to do so. I have a WRT 110 Linksys router but I also have 3 other computers using the exact same router/network and my laptop is the only one that keeps trying to open this page.If I leave my computer sitting idle for a while I can come back and find 5+ tabs opened up in google chrome to the address, even if chrome wasnt opened when I left my computer. Changing the default browser also does nothing, it'll just continue to open the same page in say firefox or whatever I change the browser too.I've blocked the IP to the site in windows firewall and that doesnt stop it either, chrome just informs me that it cant connect to the website. And it will continue to open up new tabs regardless.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSome of the icons normally showing what a program type is are missing now. I HAVE all the DESKTOP icons and those in the system tray. But in Windows Explorer lists or in Word Perfect and Word lists of file names, many of the small icons that normally appear next to a program's name, or showing what type of document or file it is, are now missing. Not all, just some. I have mostly open square boxes. It doesn't matter whether I'm looking at a list of files I've created, or looking at the items in various system folders: most are just empty open squares instead of the individual icons. I have Windows 7 64-bit OS , both Mozilla 17 and IE9 browsers.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had this problem with some programs, when I was running windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and now that I’ve upgraded my notebook to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, I’m seeing this problem happen much more often.
When I open some programs, either the main program window or message box’s or menu’s, open up extending below my taskbar. In Outlook 2007 when I try to set up email accounts, the setup wizard go’s below my taskbar which means I can’t click on next or Finish. True Launch Bar is also another program that does the same thing and half a dozen other programs.
My screen is set at its max 1900 x 1200 resolution and the DPI is currently at 170%. Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT.
There is a good strait 2min delay between time open a program and time it opens, could this be avast?
I have 4 gigs ram labtop with duel core 1.3mhz 500 gig HD lots people either say its mother board or the HD.
I say I don't mind but it does bother me, i expect it to be faster... is avast slowing everything down? I have played around with the options on windows to speed it up and I can increase speed a bit but to me as long im not gaming (this is a cheaper labtop) I expect it to be quick...
I open a file and its a delay at least 30 secs. programs 1 -2min if it opens at all. I really want a test to explain issue. I be kinda mad if send it back to toshiba and wait a month to be told its not mother board or they don't cover it or blame it on me.... so I rather fix my self if I can.
I have become recently frustrated with my programs not opening up on windows 7. the programs that won't open are all internet browsers, norton, any games (except for ones like solitaire) and it's been lagging quite a bit lately.
1) Start -> Control Panel -> System & Security -> Administrative Tools -> View Event Logs
2) Click Windows Logs -> System -> and when i click "Level," I get three red "X"s that say critical and the source is "Kernel-Power" and a whole lot of things that have red "!"s.
I am using windows7 Home premium and for some reason when I insert a flash card in the slot the menu for which programs to use no longer opens up. I have looked in the default programs set up and they are all set to ask me. I think I have tried about everything I can think of to get the menu back but nothing seems to work.
View 1 Replies View Relatedmy laptop restarted itself. I figured I must have touched the wrong buttons so when it reloaded, I went right back to what I had been doing, which was unrar things from the past and reading them. However, I couldn't unrar something; it wasn't giving me the extract option. Trying to do "open with" didn't do anything either. So I tried to open firefox to look for answer, that wouldn't load. Tried to open Adware to run a virus scan, that wouldn't load. The mouse will change and get the little hour glass, but nothing pops up. I reduced a lot of my graphics to see if it was overloading the system, but that hasn't helped. I am able to open folders, but can't open word documents or photoshop or anything else. I put a word document on a flash drive and opened it here at work, so it's not the files themselves. I even had the task manager open while trying to click on these items and it looks like the system isn't even attempting to open these programs because nothing new pops up on the task manager's list. I'm not sure how to force a virus check if I can't open the program. I'm not sure what else it could be if it's not some virus/spyware. Any suggestions? Any way to force the virus program to run? Unfortunately I don't have it set to automatically go at a certain time.Bitdefender Discount Codes?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout a week or so ago we had a big storm that knocked the power out a few times... my computer rebooted each time and after the second time Kaspersky detected a "memory mode kernal" or something like that (I accidentally deleted it from the list) and stated it had the same pattern as Klogger or something like that. I thought it was odd but after those restarts programs started to open slower on my computer than normal and sometimes I could see at the top of the program it would say 'program not responding' or something along those lines. This has mostly happened with Furcadia and Firefox but other programs like Adobe Elements come up slower than normal and even Windows 7 sticky notes come up slower.So what I have done was rebooted in safe mode and ran scans with both Malwarebytes and Kaspersky (with no problems to report as far as malware/viruses), ran CClearner, then ran defraggler (in normal windows). The problems seem to have gotten worse so I did a Memtest86 scan to see if it was my memory... no errors were shown (Memtest86 was ran after the most recent update to windows). So I still have some of the problems but for some things not as bad or just about the same as before. However, with my last reboot my computer had stalling problems.. it was trying to install the drivers for my new keyboard and load everything else (including NVIDIA System Monitor, Internet connection, Kaspersky, adobe reader update message, and windows action center [maybe something else too, I closed some of that stuff afterwards]).

All of a sudden today, whenever I open up any program/application (firefox, control panel, documents) the actual window comes up pretty slowly. I don't know if it's a huge problem but it's pretty annoying. Before, if I were to open firefox, the client would open up automatically but now it slowly opens and kind of fades into the screen. I don't think my computer got slower all of a sudden, because it is working fine and it was perfect just yesterday. The same problem happens when I close a window, it slowly fades away instead of just instantly closing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI hooked another internal hard drive up to my computer. I already had two drives installed one SSD that has Windows 7 installed and one 1TB standard drive. I use the SD drive to install programs and keep files. After I installed the 3rd drive it changed my SD drive letter to letter E: and gave 3rd drive letter D: which is what the SD drive was before. Now when trying to do anything on the computer it pops up and says C:whatever the specified path doesn't exist.
When trying to do a diskpart from CMD I get the same error: C:WindowsSystem32diskpart.exe.
The specified program doesn't exist. Even though the programs is there. When I try and download a program it does the same thing. I don't have a disk I can use to change the storage drive back to letter D: I would have never thought this would happen since Windows is installed on letter C: and that is still there.
Starting last night, Google Chrome was taking longer than usual to open webpages. Now under an hour ago, other applications and files take up to 10 seconds to open. My laptop is running fine now because I restarted. I ran CCleaner to clean out my history, cookies, etc. I also ran scans with Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes, both found nothing. I did not install any software or make any hardware changes.
