White Bar Appearing Underneath Icons In Taskbar At Random Times
May 9, 2011
This 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.

Error: All task bar icons (not them to the right) and all icons in the program listhave turned white, and pressing them leads to nowhere, instead a window asks what programI want to open.This makes navigation quite difficult, because I have to open each program in theprogram file folders. Error occurred this way:Media player vlc ran flawlessly for quite a while, I think it was v.1.11.11.Then suddenly vlc captured all icons that is all icons became vlc icons, and allicons being pressed would open vlc.At that time I was able to uninstall vlc, and all icons were back to normal.Then I used vlc portable for some time, and icons were OK.For some reason I tried to install a vlc nightly build, and again all icons became vlc icons.And this time I couldn't find a way to uninstall the vlc properly. So I found vlc rogram folders here and there and deleted them. That removed vlc, but all icons
now turned white, and didn't work.

I reformatted my computer multiple times, yet my computer seems to BSOD randomly.What happenes is that everything becomes unresponsive; cant alt+tab, cant ctrl+alt+del etc etc. everything freezes randomly... then boom, BSOD. its happened twice, with no apparent pattern.And then, when it restarts, it tries booting but then it goes into the boot selection screen and my SSD is nowhere to be found. I have to power off then power on again for it to boot up and log in.

It seems harmless, but it won't go away.

I am having an issue with all of my pictures in Windows 7. They do not appear as pictures, but icons. I have adjusted the slider on the right side but it only changes the size, not the actual content.

I bought a new computer in Feb 2012 and the people that I bought it from put it together and I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Within the first week I was getting lots of random blue screens but being busy I couldn't deal with it and after the first week, then it was fine for about 2 months. I still have it under warranty.The blue screens were getting much more frequent, did memtest86 and had TONS of errors and took it in they said the ram was bad so they took out the bad ram and I've got it running now still with 8gigs.Took it home and every couple of days or hours or weeks I would get a blue screen related to memory such as MEMORY_MANAGEMENT or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA etc. The people I purchased it from told me that they wouldn't look at it again until I've reinstalled Windows again from scratch. So I did. Same thing, random blue screens usually pointing to memory and at random times too (sometimes running a lot of things, other times it's been idle). I do shut my computer down every night.I decided to do another memtest86 and this time the memory seemed fine. Did chkdsk and it was fine. The people that I bought the computer from then took it back, looked at it for a day and said it must be the mouse, ethernet, power, keyboard, monitor, printer or something connected and that they wouldn't look at it until I'd swapped all that stuff.So I bought new speakers, new mouse, disconnected printer, new cables and a new ethernet cord (didn't buy a new monitor). Still getting random blue screens. I don't think it's related to a piece of hardware as I am running them all on another Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine with no issues but just to be safe I swapped them all (except monitor).

All my desktop shortcut icons look like white squares of shredded paper although the links work. I've tried rebuilding the IconCache database to no avail. My OS is windows 7.

For years now I have been using multiple displays with reasonably little trouble when fullscreening item such as VLC whilst using the secondary display.
I just built a Windows 7 PC and it appears to a problem i've not encountered before.
When I full screen an item in my main display and click on my secondary display the taskbar appears over the full-screened application. (item stays full-screened from top to bottom but taskbar is now present) This never use to happen before on my Vista machine and I assume there is something quite simply i'm missing?
I can sort of alleviate the problem by 'auto-hiding' but this isn't ideal as you can still see the the taskbar slightly which is a distraction when watching video

I created a few shortcuts from chrome and added them to my Taskbar for ease of use. I created one for each of my multiple Gmail accounts etc and I changed their icons to something so I can identify which was which. The shortcut's took the icon and worked fine for a short period than I noticed every time I click on the icon after changing the default icon to my new one It would change the icon back to Gmails default one.

I tried to install the Vista Shortcut manager and the install did not finish. Now all of the desktop icons have a white rectangle on top of the icon. I cannot rid the white rectangle. I have tried deleting the iconcache file to rebuild the icons but not successful.

I recently patched 3 dlls (themeui.dll, uxtheme.dll and themeservice.dll) to use 3rd party themes using Universal Theme Patcher and now alot of my icons show up as white pages... My .exe files now show up blank, and most of my shortcuts do too. Does anyone know how to fix it? I've also restored the original dlls and it still won't work for some reason...

I sent my computer out for repair under warranty for an LCD display replacement and it came back with a random white screen on boot. It is random and is not connected to anything previously attempted. 85% of the time it is OK, then out of no where when I boot it up white screen.

The icons on my desktop have a lock in the lower corner. Indicating that they are not to be shared. This lock randomly switches to a green check mark or to a grey X or sometimes to the file shared icon. Different ones switch to different icons when it happens. So not just the folders or just the shortcuts. But all desktop icons. The main icon picture stays the same, it's the lower corner spot that changes around randomly. The little arrow that indicates that the icon is a shortcut. This even happens on my game icons. Is this a sign of a malfunction or maybe mal-ware? I do not have Mozy or Norton installed. Running Win 7. When I turned on my PC today a AMD update was prompted. Assuming it was for a driver update, I clicked ok. Even though I uninstalled and reinstalled my driver yesterday, to try and fix a flickering problem. The update looked legitimate. Today I also uploaded and downloaded a small video file from "Bloggif.com". While I was trying to create an animated .gif. The animated .gif worked. This seems like one of those things that happens when I don't know that my pinky finger is resting on the ctrl key. But can't figure out how to keyword troubleshoot through Google.

My Toshiba laptop was recently upgraded (clean install) of windows 7 Ultimate -64 bit. It worked perfectly fine and fast.. now it jst freezes after windows 7 loads. It starts up normally and then when all the Icons are refreshing (turn into white paper icons) it freezes along with the mouse. Can't do anything but turn off. It always happens. I can boot onto safe mode fine.

I also have the "Cat Meow" problem on my computer AND it is NOT a screwed up cooling fan. It's interesting that when there is no answer people resort to a little humor. The sound(s) (including a lions roar), randomly occur. They are short and sweet, not really that annoying but curiosity persists as to their origination.

The computer is only about a year and a half old. Has always worked great and now I get random BSODs. Even after restoring it to factory systems three times, I still get random BSODs. And I can never recreate how it happens. Sometimes it won't happen for a whole day, sometimes it will happen every other minute. Downloaded BlueScreen viewer and it gives me a bunch of information. Will upload that.

I get BSOD at random times (even when I am not using the PC). I have not added any new hardware recently. I have attached SF.zip that has data produced by SF Diag Tool.

I have no idea what the problem is. I have ran dskchk /F...and nothing. I've also ran a scan on my disk, and nothing, so i dont think it's a virus.

Some months ago, I buyed a new computer :
- intel Q9550 quad
- DP45sg motherboard (which use IDT HD audio drivers)
- 4 gig corsair ram
- ATI HD4890
audio and video drivers are updated to lastest version.I had no problem with XP, but when I installed Windows 7 (64bits), I started to get a wierd bug.At random times, the computer seems to freeze for about a second then get back to normal. Everything freezes, mouse, graphic and if there's sound playing, it seems like it's repeating the same sound at incredible speed until the lag ends. Here's a mp3 to show you what kind of sound the lag makes :Lag sound I really don't have a clue what it can be. I've tried multiple things. I've updated audio and video drivers. I've search around forums to find similar problems. Couldn't find anything.

I used to have a program that makes this change but I can't figure out what its name was. I re-installed Windows 7 on my machine and forgot to save its installation file.It's a plain, all gray and squarish program, with a menu at the left and the corresponding options at the right pane. I has a lot of cool intuitive menus for everything one wants to change in Windows 7. I thought it was a TweakUI from Microsoft, but it looks like there's no such thing.I just tried a program called Ultimate Windows Tweaker but that's a different one that doesn't have the option written at the title, and is also less organized IMO.

Error keeps showing up random times and interfering with some functions. Looks like it is a internet explorer file but I am not running Windows Explorer and took it off my computer a month or so ago.This is VEXING to say the least.If it is missing one would think you could just download the replacement but no notes about where to get one so I am stuck with this problem and no solution?

for the last few days my computer has started to hang at random times. It could be 1 min or 15 min after start up and does not look to be linked to any 1 program. when it happens the computer will slow down for a min then I just get the round circle icon and nothing works, I cant even do Ctr Alt Del. I have done AVG scan and Superantispyware and all was fine apart from tracking cookies. I have also taken most unused programs out of MSCONFIG startup and still no luck.I will try and run the SysInfo tool and Hijackthis on the computwer now and post the results (Im using a different computer to post this)When it starts to slow Task manager, if i have it open in time, shows nothing strange cpu between 0% and 20%
