I've been experiencing this strange thing happening with my windows 7 startup. When it loads my desktop, there is a tiny window in the top-lefthand part of my screen. And when I open task manager it's named window1, I can close it and my computer still runs fineBut I'm just curious if anybody else has encountered this problem or knows how to stop it from opening every time I boot
View 1 RepliesI have been encountering a problem with a small netbook which has a 1024 x 600 screen resolution. The problem is that the window of some application is un-resizable ( I've also tried to download a small registery hack which makes it possible to resize un-resizable windows, but it seems like it won't work with that one)So, as you know, it is possible to partially hide a window on the left, right and bottom borders of the screen, but it is impossible on the top border, where the window would just go down again (while it can't be maximized though ).Is there any way to make it possible to hide a part of the windows over the top border so I can see the bottom of the window ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an MSI Laptop which I bought about a year ago was running fine and at the beginning of September started having the issue of a black screen, for about 45-60 seconds, between the windows logo and the desktop loading.
The laptop has:
Intel Core i7 460M Processor 2.53Ghz
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
4G DDR3 memory
Nvidia GeForce GT 540M
15.6" 1366x768 HD
Intel® HD Graphic VGA

The above 3 files exist in the directories asked for so not sure why it can't load them.Although the laptop works fine when it's loaded, the additional time on this blackscreen is just winding me up as it didn't do it before.
I have recently started having trouble booting Windows 7 on my fairly new Gateway PC. When I power on the computer it loads up to the Windows Desktop and the task bar appears like it normally does, but the computer keeps loading as if the desktop icons would pop up in just a few seconds, except they never do. I've let it sit and load for hours and nothing comes up. I can't click on the start menu and the Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work so I have no choice but to do a hard reboot with the power button, which I hate since it can't be good for the PC. Sometimes it does this multiple times in a row, and sometimes it starts right up and loads like normal with everything working.I have ran complete scans in both safe mode and running regular Windows to no avail. I used Avast, Mcafee, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in both modes. I don't run any of them at the same time, however and I will disable one while I run the other. I've been working hard to keep this computer safe so I don't download anything suspicious and I use it mainly for gaming.
Gateway DX4860-UR11P

Windows 7 64bit is freezing after i type in my password and hit enter.I can boot into safe mode just fine. While in safe mode, I uninstall my video card driver. This then allows me to boot back into normal win7 64bit mode. I have yet to find a video card driver that works. All of this was working 3 days ago. I know what has changed but nothing that should affect the vid card. [code]

View 8 Replies View Relatedwhen the windows logo appears it makes a design and then says windows, but right before your desktop or username pops up it does a little skip. i can't explain it, but near the symbol it looks like it has a little blue line. Anyone know what im talking about. maybe u have to just look closely. its like a stutter, but its very minimal. Im assuming my 7 is installed correctly everythin works fine all my updates updated and everything im just wondering why it does that. is that part of the intro?

After I installed the drivers and rebooted the computer it would load to a black screen and stay black. I get a windows 7 logo and a progress bar and then the screen goes black right when it is supposed to go to a login screen. I decided to reinstall the operating system again and after the second install it worked fine until I installed the drivers for the graphics card.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI opened up my PC to move the front audio cable so that it wasn't sitting on the graphics card (was causing EM interference).When I tried to reboot, my computer now gets to the windows loading screen, then stops outputting video - so the monitor goes blank and eventually turns off. Windows continues to load in the background as I can hear the startup sound play.
Computer Setup:
Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU
Gigabyte 670 GTX Factory OC GFX Card
4GB RAM (I think XMS2)
500GB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200rpm HDD
Corsair 650W modular PSU
Linksys PCIE wireless card (can't remember model)
Things I have tried:
1) Booting into safe mode (works fine, can view the desktop etc.)
2) Booting into low resolution mode (doesn't work, same issue)
3) Booting into safe mode, un-installing the graphics card, booting into normal mode and reinstalling drivers for graphics card (doesn't work, same issue)
4) Trying a different PCI-E slot (doesn't work, same issue)
5) Trying a different output on the graphics card (doesn't work, same issue)
6) Hard CMOS reset (doesn't work, same issue)
7) Trying a different graphics card (even worse, didn't get any video out even at BIOS screen - can't guarantee card is working as I don't have a second machine to test with but it was working the last time I used it a couple of months ago. Second card was ATI rather than Nvidia so shouldn't be using same drivers).
Things I intend to try but haven't had time:
1) Plugging into a different monitor (heard some people mentioning it may be to do with the monitor drivers not reporting max screen settings properly, I could find any windows 7 x64 drivers for my monitor as its so old but I do have a TV I can test with)

Every time I make a new User and log in it loads up with a black screen and the task bar and says that the system as loaded the default profile. This even happens if I log on as the system admin. My original profile loads fine but nothing else. I think It may be because the folder that holds all the basic information to make a new user profile has been deleted from my Users folder. Is there anyway of fixing this? Prohapps a place where I can download and replace that folder? I am using windows 7 ultimate 64bit. System restore has already been tried but the folder was deleted too far back to recover by that method.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's been a while since I posted on the forum. This is a good thing in a way, I guess, because it means all is running well. Up until recently . . . I'm not sure when this started happening, but occasionally when I start up my PC several of the desktop icons have moved. Specifically from the top left position, every icon is the left column has been shifted down 1 position.The *really* annoying thing is that I am not able to move them back. Windows will not allow me to put any icon in the very top left position. As I drag an icon it changes to a symbol (circle with a diagonal line diagonally thru it) and when I release the mouse button the icon goes back to where it was.This is very frustrating! I tried using auto-arrange and this did position an icon top left, but I prefer my icons in a specific order.

I have an Acer laptop 4551, got hit by nasty viruses and on top no restore intact.
I formatted the hard drive which gave me an error 83% and stopped. Today I turned on laptop to install fresh genuine Windows 7, I popped in the DVD and done everything in BIOS selected Boot from CD. Everything was Ok I hit enter to Continue then comes the Windows 7 logo and after that a blank black screen with Cursor, that's it! I done that some 5/6 times but no luck.

Wrong!The system looked for all the world like it was going to hang Explorer!the dialogue box that normally you would see on mass moves of many large files pops up, and hangs on calculating......" interminably while I sat there just stunned.there was NOTHING running on the system - not even a browser.Finally after about 2 full minutes, it did the job what on earth causes this??

Windows 7
Every time I start up the laptop the desktop is black, there is no icons, and there is no bar at the bottom of the screen, and also the Libraries Window show up at the start up.
This laptop also did not come with any CD so I don't have an option to reformat do I? I think it maybe a virus but I'm not sure and I don't know what to do about it, when I try to open Mozzila Firefox from that Libraries Window i get a msg saying:
Microsoft Secuity Essential Alert (another window)

Alert Level: Severe
Reccomendation: Remove
Status: Suspended
I click apply and it says Unable to remove threat then it want me to scan online. but i havnt tried pressing that button...
i get exactly this Desktop-Folder-Window just randomly then and when. It pops up in the middle of the work. It puts itself over the active window. It does not seem to be related to any open software or any particular user action, its really just random...Sometimes it does not happen for a while, and then, however, it starts again. We talk about 1 new Window popping up in 5 minutes or so, sometimes more, sometimes less.

It did not go away till the PC was restarted. This was a Windows 7 pop-up, not a software popup.
