I installed Paint Shop Pro 8 and a patch to PSP8, when I returned to my desktop, this horrible, empty green bar had taken over the bottom of my desktop. there is nothing on this bar except for the MS flag on the left side. Clicking it allows me to reveal my programs menu,but I have no idea what is open because nothing shows on this bar. I can neither move the bar or see underneath it.

I used to be able to have a digital clock displayed as my screen-saver . I think it was a marquis option.
Sometimes I fall asleep in front of the computer and wake up in the middle of the night This can be a little disorienting and I am always fumbling for my cell phone and I can't even read the display because my eyes are all blurry.
Would be so nice if I could get that big green floating digital clock back, as my screen saver.
It would also help when I'm rushing around and trying to get out of the house (condo)
through some uncontrolled mouse move while playing with the task bar I
managed to make by "info bar" disappear. Only the clock is left. All
other bars can be switched on and off correctly. The option "Hide inactive symbols" under taskbar properties is greyed
out.
I don't have any idea what causes my desktop icons, start button, task bar and clock to disappear but it is most annoying!!!

I went to microsoft's website and did the regedit and the command prompt commands, but it didn't work. I gave all user accounts (which is only one) full access in case it was a permission conflict.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop with XP home edition, a Netgear Wireless-g USB Adapter, and Linksys router. I just bought the adapter and the router separately recently.The problem is that I can't access the internet wirelessly. I get strong signal with green lights. But when I launch Internet Explorer, the light turns red immediately and signal drops way down. So, no internet.Then the signal comes back on strong again with green lights, and everytime I launch the Internet Explorer, the light turns red again. It is just like that, on and off (green to red and red to green), for many days now.If anybody had that problem before, please help me out with your solution. I have been reading so many posts and I am lost.

A couple of days ago I developed a soft pink and green surround on the monitor screen, heavier at the screen edge and fading to nothing an inch or two from the edge, normal colors within this area. I have tried variations in settings, resolution etc but nothing I have changed has affected the problem.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIt's the second time that my son, a most serious enterpriser and artist, insists that, at opening his web/blog in my PC, the green colour it's seen dark blue; not abnormalities in his paintings, but just some brightness that he doesn't like. Every other issues, as starting XP's windows and I suppose, every other pages that I open daily, look normal. I start believing my son, but I think this is the funniest finding I have heard about and worries me a little, that is not so little.

I have no problems playing games with my new FX 5200 Ultra video card by BFG, but I am at random times getting the annoying green screen that blanks out my videos I am streaming or playing(happens when I am streaming more often). Then after that happens usually, the computer reboots or shuts off. I never had this happen before.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWindows XP SP2. Over the course of about 8 hours overnight, my system clock will fall back about 45 minutes to 2 hours. For example, it might be 8am, but the clock will say 6am until I fix it. As you can imagine, this is pretty annoying. It happens all the time. It appears to be a gradual change, not a big jump. I think the clock either freezes or runs too slowly.
