View 6 Replies View RelatedThis fuzzy white bar appears underneath of the icons in my taskbar at random times. It happens often when I open gmail, often when I hover over links (no particular links; randomly as far as I can tell) & sometimes it's just there. Sometimes it is behind only certain icons, sometimes it extends from the start button 3/4 of the way across the screen, & sometimes it is expanding / contracting. It started a couple weeks ago. Doesn't seem to mess with anything, but doesn't seem right either.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSince today I can no longer get the "Manage audio devices" window or "Change system sounds" window from the control panel to appear, nor will "playback devices" from right-clicking on the speaker icon on the task bar get me this screen. So pretty much the "Sound" options are not available.
And then 3.5 minutes later I will have it will magically appear.
While this is a fairly new computer it's been running fine for a bit. Only change yesterday: I installed Office 2010. I went through the update history and pretty much everything is office related. I updated graphics drivers. I shouted abuse at the computer.
I am starting QTP application from my laptop. I can see the application successfully geeting the license details, then i couldn't see the application in my screen. When i checked the Task Manager-> Processes, i can see QTP is running. I have killed and tried again, same output. The application icon is not even visible in the taskbar aswell. I have tried using the multiple screen options aswell
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I boot up my computer, it displays the animated windows7 logo as normal, but where it would normally display the login screen all I get is a blank screen with the mouse cursor. I've tried all keyboard shortcuts and random clicks to no avail - it stays on that screen for hours with occasional HDD activity.I've tried booting in safe mode only to encounter exactly the same problem, and have no previous restore points (which I know is a big mistake).Due to it not starting in safe mode either, I tried to replace the winlogon.exe file from another Windows 7 instillation to no avail - I still get the same problem.I am able to boot into linux (off my removable HDD) and windows XP (from my secondary internal HDD), so I am led to believe it is a corrupted file or dodgy setting within Windows 7 rather than a hardware fault.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently made a thread on this forum talking about how my new PC setup has suddenly started creating lines on my screen
Link: Wavy lines across screen, (usually grey-ish colours) on new setup.
After trying a full list of things; 2 different monitors 2 different VGA cables 3 different mice 3 different keyboards change power supply change graphics card used onboard graphics switched ram sticks and removed one at a time reformatted a dozen of times unplugged all sound from computer checked motherboard for any visual problems and couldn't see any updated all drivers I could possibly think of Ran Memtest for 7 passes with no errors I've finally found out the problem and that was when I connected my graphics card using HDMI to a HDMI compatable monitor it worked fine and I had no more lines!
So it seems that using HDMI is working fine but soon as I use a VGA cable its not working and the lines are back. It only confused me more when I connected a VGA cable from another computer to the monitor it all worked fine.
As far as I can tell it's something to do with my computers VGA/HDMI settings, I've tried onboard VGA and that still didn't work so it doesn't seem to be a graphics card problem just something is stopping VGA working properly but HDMI is working.
I'm gonna have to go buy an expensive new monitor with HDMI compatability.

I have two partition, the c: and d: and I previously installed one windows 7 os on both c: and d:, I had then the choice to chose between the two on the startup, then what I did is restoring my c: drive to a image that didn't know it had another os on the d: so my os selection do not appear anymore on the startup screen.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy promblem is, I shut down my computer earlier in the afternoon yesterday. I come back and turn it on and after running a minute or two, the fans are going like crazy and screen goes black, monitor goes to sleep. I manually hold down the power button, restart and choose the option to repair. Once again, after a minute or so fans start running hard, blacked out screen, monitor goes to sleep.My husband has tried F8 and we've tried going back to a restore point. It will start and sound normal, but when the fans start to run hard we know the screen will go black.Opinions from various people I know and from websites are stating it's my ATI Radeon graphics card. We've even tested the RAM, yet within those two minutes after start up, monitor goes black and states no signal or it's sleeping. We've also tried numerous monitors, just for sake of process of elimination.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've had a weird error with Windows 7. It happened after I tried to remove the watermark and edit user32 (or something like that). I do have the battery icon, but it's missing the battery info. I believe it's a explorer related error, because each time this happens and I go to right click the desktop explorer.exe stops responding.
Does anybody have any information on this, or how I could repair my system to a state before? System restore is disabled on this machine.
Please look at the attached screenshot for details. I've tried restarting the computer and doing a virus scan - didn't work. How do I get this desktop back to normal?

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy screen resolution changes from the default setting for my monitor (Toshiba TV 1360x768) to 1024x768 usually. It's very annoying and scrambles my icons all over the desktop. After searching Google I found a reccomended registry fix which I did and it seemed to stabilize things for a while but now is back to doing the same thing. I rechecked the registry settings and they are as I had them. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am the primary user of my computer and would like to see only my icon at the Sign On screen. There are 2 other infrequent users and I would like to hide their icons and just show mine. Recently on two occasions when I booted up the Sign On screen had only my icon and I was pleasantly surprised. I was not aware this was even possible, and still do not know what I did to make this happen. It seems to me that there is a way to adjust the software to make this happen at every boot up. I spent hours seaching this site but could not find any information on how to accomplish this.

I temporarily downloaded a software to reset my icons when I start the computer, but I don't want to keep on having to go through this all the time. I tried the regedit...that didn't work. I tried right clicking the desktop and resetting them there...that doesn't work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently with items pinned to my Quickbar, when a window is open and moved off screen the quick-launch shortcut is removed (so that when you hover over the quickbar icon, nothing displays). Normally you can always see the "shortcut" display of any window of that type open.In my opinion this is a great feature which allows me to remove clutter on the taskbar while still keeping the window open. This "feature" isn't working right now (i.e. no matter where the window is, minimized or off screen the "shortcut" display on the quickbar always displays it), and I was wondering if Windows was bugged, or if this is a toggle-able feature.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIve been running Win 7 Ultimate 64 for over a year with no problems. For Christmas I got a new HD because my old ones were full. I copied my files from my two old hard drives to the new one and then tried to do a clean install. After the installation when windows boots for the first time it works, but the picture has about two inches of black space all around and the resolution is at like 800x600. Im pretty sure the only thing i need to do to fix that is install and update my graphics drivers. The problem is after I start installing updates I have to restart windows. When it boots up for the second time all the black space is gone and the picture looks right but it always stops right after the black windows loading screen on the default background with no icons, only my curser. Ive tried to install windows again but the same thing happens. Ive tried safe mode and last known good config. Startup repair finds no problems at all. And when i restore with a system image the problem comes back as soon as I update something then restart.

the computer itself is fairley new (june 2011), the hard drive, though is from 2008, i used it on another build and basically recycled it, (reinstalled the os multiple times since i bought it, clearing the drive each time.)things i have tried;kaspersky full scan ccleaner disk fragmentation disk check updated all my drivers boot to only necessary programs with msconfigmy system;os version: microsoft windows 7 ultimate, 64 bit processor: intel(r) core(tm) i7-2600 cpu @ 3.40ghz, intel64 family 6 model 42 stepping 7 processor count: 8 ram: 8174 mb - g.skill ripjaw series 1600 graphics card: nvidia geforce gtx 570, 1280 mb hard drives: c: total - 476836 mb, free - 103627 mb - wd caviar blue motherboard: asrock, p67 extreme4 antivirus: kaspersky pure, enabledi have gotten several error messages in korean from chrome, not sure what exactly they were saying. the screen will now pause when the sound does, then after a little while it will go back to normal but not before having the whole screen go black.
So I just downloaded Windows 7 and the screen is not showing up full size on my laptop. I went to the control panel and went to the screen resoltution thing and it is set on the largest setting; 1034 x 768, and only has two options which are 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600 on the slider. Any one know how to make it full screen?
Also on the sound thing on the taskar it has a red x and says no audio output device. Anyone know where I can download one?
