I'm using Windows XP, service Pack 2. while on the intertent I am unable to view some types of graphics. For example in forums when pictures are attached to postings, I cannot view them. Instead of the picuture there is a blank box with a ed "X" .
I can view graphics included in my internet home page and most news clippings and websites.

View 14 Replies View RelatedAfter a few days of work, the user cannot open new windows explorer or other application windows. Nothing happens if she tries to. If she closes one window, then she's able to open a new one. The "allowed" number of opened windows varies from time to time, sometimes being as low as 4, but sometimes around 10 to 12. The performance tab in the task manager is completely blank (see screenshot). Some Windows explorer menu bars sometimes are blank, and a windows logo appear instead of the menus (see screenshots).
Rebooting fixes the problem, but it comes back a few days later. The laptop is part of a domain, running generally the same applications as other desktops and laptops in the domain, running the same antivirus, etc. The virus definitions are up to date, and a full scan has been run. Even stranger is the fact that when it happens, Windows XP doesn't even seem to be unstable, nor does it crash in any way. Just seems as if there was a limit on the number of processes or handles or threads allowed to run.
Laptop: IBM Lenovo Thinkpad (model 63716NF)
CPU: Core 2 @ 1,8Ghz
RAM: 2 gb
OS: Windows XP sp3.
Swap file: initially set to 2046 mb and max is set at 4092 mb
Processor scheduling and Memory usage are both set to "Programs"
I have been searching the web for solutions but cannot find any forum post describing the same problem. Thank you for any help.

tried to back up("burn" ) some files onto a cd but it is not recognizing when
I put a blank cd in the drive. Also, in properties it shows that the drive
is full...this is with the blank cd!
When I try to boot XP in normal mode, the PC boots fine, but I have no display. I can boot in all 3 safe modes. How do I fix?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI think i have some sort of 'infection' that is affecting my Display Driver and not letting Windows accept the files. The problem started nearly a week back and over 20 reinstallations of 3 different versions of the Intel Extreme Graphics Driver later, it still gives me the same error. There seems to be an issue with ialmrnt5.dll (one of the display driver files).The main error message that i get from Windows goes something like: "Windows has recovered from a serious device failure. Please close all programs and reboot to restore full functionality". Else, i get a message directly pointing out the file saying something like: "the ialmrnt5.dll Display Driver has malfunctioned.

View 1 Replies View Relatedevery now and then when XP boots ( not always, like 1 out of 10 times, but always after Windowsupdate) it comes up with a 4bit colordepht and a resolution of 640X480 and is unchangeable + the Nvidiawizard is not in the Systray where its meant to be.I checked the driver and found out: behold there's a new version available at Nvidia.com , I download and try to install, what pops up is something like the following message: "The software that is being installed for GeForce4 MX440 did not pass the LOGO-Test for WinXP. The Software may not be compatible to WindowsXP and may cause ......" problems and whatnot. So I decide to cancel installation and go to windowsuptade.com. There, too is (among other security updates" a Nvidia Graphics Driver. I check the security updates and the Driversupdate and install. Reboot = Graphic error as described above .
View 2 Replies View RelatedSometimes after playing a game like Halo I get a blue screen saying that to prevent hardware damage, Windows must be shut down. Something about Intel's GMA driver igx32.dll or something. There's also no option to shut down my computer, I have to press and hold my power button.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy friend was attempting to update his integrated graphics driver and managed to mess it up quite badly. The system boots, but the display just hangs on the XP disk checking screen. You can hear the XP startup sounds etc. so I think it's fully working otherwise. Since I can't see what's going on, I can't get to the restore manager etc. to roll back the system to before the driver change. Is there some way to restore the system from within the BIOS or from a command line that will skirt the messed up drivers? I wish I had a spec list or something to help out but I'm doing this over the phone and he doesn't know much about his system.

View 5 Replies View RelatedEarlier today when logging into a site, I pressed enter, just as a "Do you want to install..." box popped up, so it took my enter as yes and began installing all kinds of spyware.I scanned and removed the spyware using both Microsoft Antispyware and Spybot but I am still having problems.A while after it had installed, my PC just started switching itself off. No shutting down, just switched off, then on again. When it came back on, it said Windows had recovered from a fatal error which turns out to be an error due to my graphics card driver.I then updated the driver to the latest intel one, same thing happened. It does it every 30 mins or so, its driving me crazy!I thought about reinstalling windows, however when I tried to backup and move my important folders to CD, it said there was an error copying them.

View 10 Replies View RelatedXP is very graphic-intensive which results in a large consumption of RAM. Sometimes to squeeze in the nitty-gritty megs of memory can be, by sacrificing the pretty little bits and colors that are on your screen.For starters, reducing the color density and and bit display of your screen will ultimately increase speed to your computer.1.)On your desktop, right click and go to PROPERTIES.2.)In properties go to Settings, and set your color quality to the lowest bit-rating (most likely 15 bit). This will reduce color density, and icon quality, but will heavily boast system performance.If you really want to increase your system performance, new Windows themes are NOT the way to go, if you are ill-equipped with RAM.1.) Go into Control Panel and into Performance and Maintenence (If you are using the "classic" view skip to step 2).2.) Get into System and click on the Advanced tab.3.) Now click on Performance4.) Under your visual effects, select CHOOSE BEST PERFORMANCE. 5.) This will undoubtedly increase your system performance by returning XP into Classic Style and getting rid of the fancy-shmancy fading menus, shadows and whatnot. Now your graphically challenged computer, has turned into a mean, lean, computing machine.
View 9 Replies View Relatedmy computer graphics started freezing and going distorted. and now some times my computer will only show a black screen when turned on . i bought a new graphics card and it will not work either and after that i tried my old graphics card that also stoped working in a few hours. all this started happening after i added 1 gb of ram but even without it my graphics cards are still not working. when the computer starts up some times there is all distorted sysmbols over the screen then everything goes fuzzy and the computer freezes or restarts. When the graphics do work as soon as it gets past the loading xp part the screen goes black and i cant get to the part to log on.
I recently did a XP reload. Now, standby is greyed out. I reloaded the graphics driver with no change.
