Desktop Items Deleting Message Appearing Each Time
Jun 22, 2010
I have a Presario C700 model C768TU Notebook PC running Vista Home Premium, with a 1.76GHz CPU and 2 GB RAM.
The problem I have is actually driving me nuts.I freshly installed Vista after formatting the drive and when I point to the only desktop icon which is the recycle bin I get this dialog asking if I want to send it to the recycle bin.No matter how many times I click on NO it won't go away and in my frustration I reboot the Laptop. have formatted the laptop several times and installed WIndows 7 and had the same problem. I also formatted and partitioned the drive and still had the same problem.I added a few more icons to the desktop and the same thing would happen if I pointed the mouse at them.
Running XP-Pr0-SP3 on a standalone home PC with 4GB RAM, 300 GB HD split 3- ways with OS on the 'C' drive, a 64- bit processor and TELUS high speed Internet.
Recently having replaced the mouse with a Logitech Wireless and not having had it start up, I read in the Logitech forum that a workaround would be to go to MSCONGIG and uncheck everything, re- start, then re-check the items I wanted to start up and re-start.
i then check all items in the startup tab and run a normal startup instead of selective.
I did this and now both Logitech and my Webshots program do not start at startup. Is there a workaround or possible change of permissions that I need to do to resolve?
I'm working on a Dell Dimension Desktop 4550. The background loads, but then nothing else. The ONLY functionality there is is the Tsk Manager. In the Processes tab, explorer.exe is not running.
I have strange lines appearing over and around my desktop icons.Doesn't have those in safe mode.Moving the cursor to a different section of the page I am on right now will change what is next to the cursor. What is around the cursor changes when the cursor itself changes from a pointer to a finger to whatever. Sometimes dots, sometimes a bold "i".Changing the hardware acceleration down one notch eliminates the problem with the cursor, but my cpu goes into overtime. Windows startup screen just has lines of small squares all over.The problems were worse until I d/l the latest drivers from ATI.And video update is slow, relatively speaking. Going from one busy window to another gives white windows. Can still watch deleted multiple emails disappear one by one.
When I click on an icon on the desktop to open a program I am finding that all icons have been selected so I end up getting a message that to open all of the selected programs at once will take a long time & asks if I wish to proceed. If I go to other lists like my documents clicking one selects them all. How do I stop this happening?
Running Windows XP Professional.Windows that used to open to full screen (for example,links to websites,or windows opened by running programs) now are minimized and I have to hit the maximize button every time to re size them a real pain.Ran virus programs,adaware, etc. and can't find anything.Didn't used to be a problem. I read in some thread somewhere that this may have to do with pop up screens resetting something or other but I can't locate that thread. Any clues out there on how to fix this?
Hi! After running a program called System Mechanic from Iolo technologies I discovered my computer had stopped working properly and kept telling me that files essential to the smooth running of windows had been changed. I did a system restore operation and almost everything went back to normal. The only exception is my desktop icons, and icons on the quick lanch bar. They're appearing inside white squares and not against the desktop wallpaper like they should almost as if the wallpaper has not loaded properly under the icons
Im using WinXP pro. when i right click for a menu sometimes it takes up to 45 seconds for the menu to appear. Also when i delete a file (any size) i takes anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds for my delete file prompt to come up. ive also reinstalled XP to no avail.
I right clicked two images from the internet and then clicked on Set as Desktop item. These two images now appear as part of any desktop backgroung that i choose. I cant delete them or get them off of my desktop screen. How do I remove these items?
My computer takes a long time when I try to delete a file (doesn't matter what size or kind of file). Once I click on the file and hit delete the hard drive starts going and after a while I get a confirmation message "Are you sure you want to send file.ext to the recycle bin?" I click yes and then it's hung up again for a while as I watch pieces of paper float accross the screen from a file folder to a recycle bin, and then it finally deletes. This is a new problem on my old machine.I also can't open the recylcing bin, but I can empty it. When I click on the recycle bin it opens a window and shows the "flashlight" icon, the hard drive goes, and it never finished it's process, never displays the recycling bin contents.
When a virus problem was found, my friend eliminated a file when Norton advised him to do so . After deleting the file he now receives the below error message each time the computer is booted. crogra~1softwar~1soproc.exe
I changed my background picture on my "Desktop".Whenever I log off,I still saw a glimpse of the old picture prior to "shut down". I placed my picture to "none", this removed my old picture but now when I "start up", I get my "task bar" but my "desktop icons" do not load for a few minutes.I only have three items on my "desktop", they are "My Computer", "Recycle Bin" & "Network Connections"I am running 2000 pro.
I provide second line support to a remote site up in Scotland. There is one user who has a strange problem on her pc. I need to run a setup.exe file on her pc. If I double click it, nothing happens. This happens for other icons too. However some work fine such as "My Computer" and "My Documents". 1. Logged on as myself, same problem. 2. Copied the file else where to the pc and tried from there.
When I turn on my system this evening all of my desktop item would not work. This window is opening saying that Windows can not open this file, all files have .ink on them. I just found out that I can not get to my e-mail. The only two thing that I can open is My Computer, and the Internet.
I know I should know this, but for the life of me, can't remember LOL; when you drag a dialog box or item that's on your desktop, there's an outline of the box that moves before you move the box. How do you turn that off?
I had to manually shut down the computer after a freeze up, almost all my desktop items are gone, i had folders and school papers that i needed so i really need them back, does anyone know how i can get them back or find them?
I want to get rid of the backgrounds on my desktop shortcuts so its only the writing showing...I had it like this before but one day i rebooted and it each of the shortcuts had backgrounds and i hate the way it looks so i dont want them.
My desktop items are highlighted with a blue shadow.I don't know how to eliminate that. My wallpaper is visible and the computer seems to be working fine.
I like a clean desktop so I choose to hide my desktop icons and use a desktop toolbar. I arrange items on the toolbar with the ones I use most at the bottom. Since last Friday, the items on the toolbar keep rearranging themselves whenever I shutdown and restart the computer. I have looked every where I know to look and I cannot find a solution. I've tried a System Restore but I get a message that the system cannot be restored to a previous time. Could there have been a Windows Update that is causing this and if so, how can I get it back the way it was?
The problem is that my desktop items keep aligning on left after each reboot. I have selected Show Desktop Icons and Lock Web items, other options are unchecked. This is driving me crazy because I am constantly having to re-arrange the icons.
Recently all of my icons on my desktop have become locked in palce and this is very annoying as I go through to delete pictures and other files that i am constantly saving to my desktop. I am running on a windows xp media center edition, and YES, I have went to Right click on desktop , Properties, Clicked on the desktop tab, Customize desktop, and I do not have the option to lock my desktop items checked, so I am not sure why they are staying locked in place?
I went to turn on my computer and it wanted to do a disk check but i skipped it when i went to log on nothing would load, i would just get an empty background and to load tasks now i have to use Ctrl,Alt,Del and run it from there I've did a disk error check and let it run but nothings happened.
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... Ok this is a screenshot of what I want to do
To crete active desktop items that will operate as if they were an IE window, so that when you click a button or link it goes to the page in the desktop item without opening a new window but for the items I create the links always open a new IE window.
Before I got this dialog box that showd that I could make a folder to have all my unused desktop items in. I click cancel, now several months after I regret. How can I get the dialog box back?
Since I have installed a few new drivers/Software I have been having trouble with my desktop right click menu, the apps I've installed have added 3 new items on this menu and they take ages to load, even though they are not really that necessary and can be accessed without right clicking. I have taken a screen-shot and wondered if there is any way of removing the 3 marked items from my right click menu.
For some reason the fonts are all small on my computer. The name of the desktop items on my desktop, those fonts are all small too. I went to properties and changed the font size to large, and nothing happened, their still small. I even changed the screen resolution on the 'properties', their still small.
