View 3 Replies View RelatedProgram Icons Are Missing (NOT Desktop Icons)
Jan 5, 2013Some 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 1 Replies View RelatedHiding Desktop Icons If Not Viewing Desktop?
Apr 23, 2012I've been looking around for something that can hide my desktop icons (or basically anything except my background & bottom navigation bar) if I'm not viewing the desktop.In other words, when I have a (not full screen) window open, I want to be able to see my desktop background but not the icons on it. When I "view" the desktop, or don't have anything on top of it, I want the icons back.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPixelated Images On New Windows 7 PC
Jan 15, 2012I recently purchased a Gateway FX6860-UR20P Desktop PC with an Intel Core i7-2600 processor running @ 3.4GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM & ATI Radeon HD 6750 video card. The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.
I'm experiencing an excessive amount of pixelation whenever I zoom into any photo file I happen to be viewing. I know that the pixelation is not native to the viewed files because when magnified in a similar fashion on my other machine, which is a ten year old Gateway 500X with Pentium 4, XP and NVidia GeForce4 MX-440 graphics card using the same monitor, the same files look fine, i.e., they exhibit a smoother graininess which is the way they look on other PCs as well.
The pixelation is clearly being generated by some component of the new machine, but I cannot determine if the video card, some part of the mobo, the OS or even a bad driver or setting is at fault. The Gateway/Acer service technicians couldn't determine this either since they shipped the unit back to me and claimed they couldn't see any problems.
I've posted two screen captures of a small jpg file, the first as it appears on the new unit with excessive pixelation, and the same file again as seen on the older machine, minus the pixelated distortion, which is how it should look:
I also notice the same type of pixelation when viewing low quality, small frame videos similarly zoomed in and even some fonts of html pages exhibit subtle amounts of pixelation too, as does Weather Bug's temperature icon as viewed in the system tray (though other system tray icons seem strangely unaffected).
I'm scheduled to send the tower back to Acer's service center once again, but I am worried about the very real possibility of the unit being returned to me once again in the same condition in which I shipped it out. Needless to say, I'm extremely upset about having purchased a brand new PC containing this issue right out of the box and sincerely hope that somebody in this forum might be able to offer some suggestions as to how this problem might be corrected, should Gateway/Acer fail to do so.
Unwanted Desktop Icons - How To Get Them Off The Desktop
Nov 1, 2012I recently upgraded a Win-XP home system to Win-7 Home Premium. Everything went fine. But I have four system icons on the desktop, two of which I want to keep and two that I'd like to get rid of. The two keepers are the My Computer and Network icons, the two I don't wan to see are the Home Group and Library icons. This machine is the only Win-7 box on the network so Home Group is moot, and I do not expect to explicitly use Libraries any time soon. So the associated icons are just clutter on the desktop. For whatever reason, the two keepers include a "delete" option in their right click menus but the two I actually want to delete don't. So, how do I get them off the desktop? I don't think any of the four were present on the desktop when I completed the installation, and I don't remember what I did to get them to show up.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRed "x" On Disk Icons, Desktop Icons Changed?
Mar 12, 2010Finally I have found the place where my problem might get solved.Thing is: 1.There is a big "X" on 3 out of 4 disks I got(except "C" disk) as shown in the picture below: 2.Desktop icons are changed as well but not all of them.This is the second time this kind of crap happens to me. Last time it happened was after I clicked system backup. I couldn't stand the problem so I reinstalled my windows 7 pro 32bit and at first it was all ok. It came back after I rebooted which I couldn't figure out why. The only diffrence is last time all the desktop icons were changed, but this time as you can see some of the icons aren't changed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedTask Manager - Text On Windows Discolored / Pixelated
Nov 1, 2012So this started happening around 3 days ago. I really have no idea what to call it, but when I open things like task manager or computer the text on the windows are discolored/pixelated. The last thing I downloaded before it started happening was Manycam, but I don't think that's the cause of the problem. Text on internet browsers are fine, but it also happens when I hover over links. Also, I can't check my computer specs because I can't read them, since the text is all discolored and messed up.

Apr 27, 2012For the past week, I've been getting some random BSODs, some freezes, and sometimes just a random restart. there is a flash of a pixelated screen, and then it just restarts. This computer is nigh on two years old, and has showed no sign whatsoever of slowness or any malfunction. Yet for the past week or so, it's been randomly crashing and getting restarted. Specs
-Intel Pentium Dual Core processor. 3 GHz.
-ATI Radeon graphic card. 1 GB.
-2GB RAM.
-320 GB storage space.
-HP Pavilion CPU.
-Desktop PC
I would upload the dump files, but honestly, it crashes by the time i press the copy button. i am attempting to get them using the homegroup from this computer.
I managed to pull the dump files out from the homegroup. here they are.

View 8 Replies View RelatedPixelated Movie Rendering Issue In Full Screen (nvidia)
Oct 30, 2009I have been trying to fix this problem for 1 week, still have the problem unfortunately
Since I installed Windows 7 final version: While playing a movie in full screen, the rendering is some kind of pixelated ( shapes are pretty ugly :/ ). I have the problem with anykind of video ( .avi, .mkv, DVDs... ), with all my video players ( Media player classic, VLC... ).
I did not have the problem with my older config ( win 7 RC ) and have since I formated my computer to install windows 7 final ( home premium N ).
The only way it worked on my new windows 7 installation, was with a very old driver ( 169.62 ), but games work pretty bad with this driver
To see the problem, you can look the man at the right background :
Screen sample of my rendering :
Sample with another WORKING computer :
My old working configuration :
OS : windows 7 RC : version 7100
GC : geforce 8800 GTS 512 (MSI)
drivers version : 190.62
My old not working configuration ( after formating and installing final version of windows 7 ) :
OS : windows 7 home premium N
GC : geforce 8800 GTS 512 (MSI)
drivers version : 190.62 or all other generic nvidia or MSI's official drivers, exept the only "first" driver of the graphic card (169.06) in its box
My new not working configuration :
OS : windows 7 home premium N
GC : geforce GTX275 twin frozr OC (MSI)
drivers version : 190.62 (MSI driver) or any above nvidia generic driver
Anyone having the same issue, or have fixed it yet ?
Anyone having Windows 7 ( N version ) and not the problem ?
Could have something with the version of windows ? ( windows home premium "N" do not include native Windows media player ).

Apr 22, 2012On a few occasions just recently my win 7 pro system has come out of "screen saver" with nothing but my desktop background displayed. If I then ctrl/alt/delete the screen goes black with just the cursor showing and otherwise unuseable. After a while the background will reappear but the only way that I can get the icons and everything back is to reboot.I have done a very thorough search for malware but none found. The problem never occurs whilst I am actually using the system and it does not always happen when it has been left to go into screen saver.

Dec 19, 2012Medion Intel i3 Destop Pc running Windows 7. My post earlier in week generated advice which I appreciated. All followed with no success. Event facility shows Certificate string of numbers about to expire. Then [URL]
Full detail on my earlier post:
A friend appears to have had a similar problem see his comments to me below... I have not been asked for money but to the wording above win/2004/08 a "fix" has been suggested by what looks like a Microsoft copy site. I have downloaded the "fix" but am concerned if I use it I may have greater problems.
"I lost my laptop with the " Security Shield " virus caught from roaming the web. This places 'Windows look-alike' shields over the top of every 'Desktop' icon, and clicking on it anywhere directs you to a website asking for money to remove it. You cannot access anything UNLESS you are set up with additional 'Users', when you can boot into one of them O.K.
This virus continually changes its name, and that is why the anti-virus programs cannot find it, and neither can anyone else for that matter. I had to change my hard drive and laboriously re-install everything which has taken weeks - I did have some backup so that helped. I would like to be able to access the old hard drive but dare not - even connecting up to format it would be a risk."
Desktop Icons Are Huge?
Jun 7, 2011The desktop icons are suddenly huge and we can't figure out why it suddenly happened or how to make them smaller. We're using the highest resolution available, 1360 x 768.
I know there is a way to define the size of the icons; but, I can't remember what it is.
