Green Boxes Won't Go Away
Jan 20, 2006
Windows XP Professional supposed to be a new generation right?? Microsoft (R) DOESN'T GET THE PICTURE, **WE WANT CALAITY** [THAT'S WHY THEY ARE MAKING Windows Vista (TM) ].I should know how to fix this problem but I'M VERY SICK AND CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT!In the desktop properties [deskop Right Click>Properties>Desktop] you can change the color that the TEXT is on for you icons, why can't you specify "NONE".My Desktop Icons look like this currently.

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 noticed that every file and folder in my XP pro laptop was read only. I attempted to uncheck the read only attribute, but the GREEN BOX just kept coming back. 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. Failed sad.gif.

XP-Pro(SP3)
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)

I shut off my firewall on my xp pro computer but when I look at the security centre, the green light is still on, indicating that the firewall is still on. This is a new computer that was set up before I got it and I know on my old one, the red light would be on when the firewall is turned off.

I 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.

I am running XP Home on a HP PC with pentium 4. 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.

It'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.

Last night I had to reinstall my drivers. I've double checked them all and believe them to be correct. My Icons now change to a sickly green when I hover over them or select one. My " favorites" also change to the same green when I chose one. I did something wrong but don't know what.

I am using Windows XP and a malware hit my system. It is "windows Antivirus Pro" 3 days ago.Now some of the files which I modifies after its attack turned into green in color and I am unable to open it. I am also unable to run any .exe files as well as any command from RUN like regedit or some thing else.I have downloaded "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" and scanned my HDD with the help of another system. Yet those files are GREEN in color and I cannot open it.

I recently installed Windows Service Pack 2, actually three times after reinstating my computer software to the original state by erasing and reinstalling the full software install CD on my computer's hard drive for Window XP Home. 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.

I have just switched from dialup to high speed cable and am now using Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse. Many sites which I previously viewed without a problem on AOL now contain one or more small squares with a red "x" instead of the usual picture or graphic. How can I get rid of the boxes and restore the graphics?

Does anyone here know where can I get a list of all of Windows XP dialogue boxes? Recently, when I was Turning Off my computer, there was a very interesting dialogue box that appeared on my desktop, however, I don't remember exactly what it said, but if I could go through a list of Windows dialogue boxes (hopeful ly an alphabetical list), I would be able to find it.

I have just received my Acer Aspire 1690 Laptop back from Acer after repairs (was freezing all the time - they replaced optical drive, hard drive and main board).I am re-installing all my software but every now and then when a dialogue bx appears with a choice of buttons to click on there is no text so I don't know what buttons do what.It doesn't happen every time but seems to happen when the dialogue boxes and buttons are not the standard windows type but ones made by the software (ie. they may be bigger than usual) - if that makes sense?

I'm running an AD site with XP clients, I locked the screen on one of my machines using ctrl-alt-del > Lock Computer. On my return, the username and password boxes were greyed out.
I could still click the dropdown to choose between domains but couldnt enter a username and password so had to hard reboot the machine

I am finding that many of the dialog boxes, which used to be normal, now display truncated. That is, portions of them, including various command buttons do not display, or only parts of the command buttons display. I'm sure I changed a setting somewhere to cause this, but I can't figure out what setting(s) will restore them to normal.

Our offices have many Lenovo computers, 2004 vintage, no model name shown anywhere. The original driver disc is long lost, but for all but one of these, Windows XP finds built-in drivers that just work. Here is my chronology for the Bad Box that doesn't just work, there's really no alternative except to put the files that the box wants on the drive. To do this, I put the blank drive in one of the other Lenovo boxes (identical hardware in every way) and used XXClone to make a bootable clone of that other drive, put it back in my Lenovo and it booted fine, video looked great. I noticed that this system had never been updated and was running the original flavor of XP (confirmed in the properties of "My Computer"), so I downloaded Service Pack 2 and installed it.

To get to XP Pro's Performance Options window I use: I use Control Panel > Systems > Advanced > Performance Options. There I find there is no yellow tooltip popup help information when I click the question mark in the top right of the window (next to the big red X) and then click one of the entries such as "fade out menu
items after clicking". Is this true for all XP systems? Or is mine missing? BTW if I click the advanced to on the same window and then click the question mark and then an item such as "system cache", I *do* get the
yellow popup tooltip info box.

In a 3 box network,is it possible for the 2 satellite boxes to access the main cpu at the same time? Even if the 2 satellites are to run different programs? I know that individual programs give full PROGRAM access simultaneously to 2 satellites on 1 main cpu.

whenever I start my laptop two windows search boxes open. This is irritating and it may be linked to the (more irritating) fact that in the right-click dropdown shortcut menu thing, the top option is 'search' instead of explore or open, so double clicking opens a search box, but I don't know. How do I change all that? I'd be really grateful for any pointers.

For over 6 months now I've been having a problem with my non-expandable windows message boxes shrinking, to the point text is cut off on the right and bottom, and some of the information is pressed together, and is unreadable. My display settings are all normal, and I almost had it fixed in December, when I ran scanfix, but after a couple of weeks, the boxes shrunk again. Microsoft won't help unless I pay, and most of the other forums I've tried either don't answer, or suggest changing the display settings. It Isn't The Display Settings! Currently, I have XP(home)SP2, on a Dell Dimension 4600, with a Dell 1800FP monitor. This is really getting frustrating. I just want to be able to read the info in the boxes again. I have also taken some screenshots to show what is going on,

When on any website, I can no longer use the remember name and password feature, nor do some things on webpages appear like they used to. I can't remember what they are called, but to explain, you can see by going to www.greenhills.net on this site, there should be pictures with links to a car dealership, and various other things. The only thing I see on my computer at home is the picture of the company, and the few nderlined links at the bottom of the page and the google search. Nothing to the left or right of the picture. It doesn't matter if I'm using IE or Firefox.I've been through the tools and security all javascripting boxes are checked.
