I am just recently having problems when I am on a webpage trying to highlight some text and then copy it somewhere else.My problem is: sometimes after placing my cursor near the text I am trying to highlight and then copy. it will not highlight at all. Or either it does highlight a bit then stops and will not continue to highlight the text so I am able to copy it.How can I fix this problem. I have never had this problem til just a couple of weeks ago.
When I hold down my left mouse button and drag across a word or words to copy and paste, the text "sporadically" highlights. This happens in Notepad, in a webbrowser (Firefox), bascially anywhere there is text you may want to copy.xFor emaple, if I want to copy the sentence above and I start at the beginning of the sentence, here's what happens:1) Sometimes it will "highlight" everything as I drag but then goes away once I let go of the left button2) Sometimes it skips letters or words. Eventhough I start at the "W" in When, it misses a few letters or words entirely.
What is the name of the display element for a highlighted item in Windows Explorer for when Explorer does NOT have the focus? In the standard XP them(blue) the highlight colour is a strong blue while Explorer has the focus. When it loses the focus it becomes a very pale mushroom that is almost impossible for me to see.I would like to change that but cannot find the correct display element in Display properties/appearance/advanced.
I have set a file to be opened when I double click it. However as soon as I simply selected any video file (have noticed this problem mostly with avi files), explorer crashes. Any clues? Can some help me... want to rename my video files but simply can't because I select the file and even before I press F2 or right click (to rename)the same explorer crash problem
I want to know if there is possible to put a specific text over the desktop and when the user change the wallpaper the text continues appearing at the same position (basically I want to do it on Windows XP).People says that an image worth more than thousands of words...

Running Windows XP SP2 on a Dell Dimension. And for instance, when you go to the Set Program Access and Defaults, on the left I have the icons, but I don't have the text below. There aren't any words underneath the icons. Also, Certain web pages only partially come up. For example the text will show but only half of the pictures or ads will show.
I can't get to "search" or "run." I changed the icon size to "small" in the properties>start menu>customize, but that isn't helping at all. In my other accounts the start menu text is fine.
I am having difficulty with text diplaying in bizarre fashion. The machine is a Dell Optiplex tower operating Windows XP Pro. When I am in an application or browsing web pages and choose one of the dropdown boxes, the box drops down and shows the outside lines of the box. Then when you swipe your cursor over the dropdown it will display the text that is invisible. All that I have to do to show the text is pass the cursor over the area. If I do not swipe the are with the cursor the text will be there, I assume, but never display.Has anyone encountered this issue before.
I have done a search but cant find anything about my problem. Problem= The text under my desktop icons are a bit difficult for me to read, and i use a clear wallpaper.I would like to change the text color to black.I did try and try again, ended up a disaster, had to reinstall an older backup.Windows XP SP2.
I have my text size set at Largest in the view menu on IE6, lately it isn't working and I am really having some serious problems I had a cornea transplant last Jan and I have not gotten new contacts yet, ( my Doc told me I am good to go for using the puter, in case anyone's concern) I HATE HATE ATE the magnifier, its very disorienting, so what could possibly be causing this, my spyware sanners turn up nothing Norton turns up nothing, I went t0o a sight for ASAP or some thing for "professionals" thru a link on the board, and I got an X-Clean thing, I figured it was safe cause another member had it as a link, was I hijacked someplace else. Could this be the problem?
HP psc 2410 photosmart all-in-one printer. Whats happening is it's not printing the text of documents but if i insert a picture it will print that with no problems, even printing from the internet it will only print pictures. I scanned something that was only words and it printed that. I thought maybe it was the black ink cartrige so i put a new one in and it still isn't printing. If i put the words in a different colour it will print them just not in black.
Just click on rename and type alt + 0160 (on the numeric keypad) it will make a invisible character.This will only work if you have the file extensions hidden.You can use this only for one icon of each type (shortcut, folder, exe, txt, jpg or whatever you have on your desktop)For the second icon type: alt+0160 alt+0160For the third type: alt+0160 alt+0160 alt+0160.
I can copy pictures, links etc. but when I go to paste them, the paste option is not highlighted so I am not able to use this. What do I do to fix this?For example, I can highlight the link above, right click and select copy. When I want to paste it, the paste option is not highlighted, I am not able to use paste. This is same for all text and pictures.

When using Paint and I go to save an image I get the attached message. It's not an error, but the normal text is replace by squares. I've tried to uninstall paint then reinstall it through add/remove but it did not change anything. My scans show no viruses or spyware either.
The machine: Compaq Pressario SR1103 Window XP Home, 256 MB PC2700, ASUS CDRW, NAV.I ran Microsoft Antispyware Beta 1. Found and removed eZula.WebOffer, eZula.TodText, Target Saver Trojan Downloader, SearchForIt.Adshooter, and Hotbar Shopping Reports. After rebooting, all the text in Windows is gibberish, (Symbols). Will a system recovery, using the recovery disk fix the problem, Are there other possible fixes? The system has a D: partition, which apparently contains the Recovery Console. It's an option at the boot screen. Is it possible to repair this particular problem from the Recovery Console, or is the Repair install my only option
After updating my version of iTunes this afternoon I was of course prompted to restart my laptop (an HP Pavilion dv6000), which I did. However upon start-up I noticed a variety of Windows menu texts to be completely missing - that is, the dialogue boxes and other such usually-text-containing shapes came out (albeit somewhat abnormally usually, often shortened to a few pixels) with no text in it at all. Internet pages themselves show up just fine, but any other text associated with internet explorer itself (i.e. tab and toolbar titles, dropdown menus like 'Page', etc.) is text-blank (icons still remain though, which helps a little)
guys im trying to change the text on the start menu from start to what i want ive tried differrent things im wondering if theres a way to do it beside the application called resource hacker because i dont wanna touch the registry or explorer file.
I've seen in a lot of windows blinds themes where there's no text and just icons in the side menu of the start bar (my computer, documents, control panel, run, etc) and was wondering how to remove the text.
