I don't know what I did! Some of the Icons on my desktop are BLACK. In explorer and Firefox the buttons on the tool bar are black,but if I run the curser over them the icons will display. So picture and video will not display on web sites. Also the Icons in control panel are black, also like the enter buttons,submit buttons on this page are black?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter a malware infection (Inet2 and SpySherriff - which took over my desktop) I cleaned up some files, directories and registry-entries. Now, after the cleaning activity as explained by techguys, everything seems going well. All programs do start without problems (through the start-menu or the quick-start taskbar), but there is a small drawback: my desktop screen shows only my wallpaper, there are no icons. The right-mouse click on the desktop also doesn't work (although the desktopsettings are accessible through the control panel). I use WinXP pro. what is wrong and how do I get the icons back on the screen?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded an msstyles theme for a recent XP install on my new HD. Unfortunately, the theme made everything black, except a few icons. I can't see anything in order to change it back. Fortunately, I still have a version of XP on my old HD and changed the boot order. The new HD with the screwed up theme is accessible in Windows explorer. How do I change the theme on that copy of Windows back to normal?

Several unwanted desktop icons appeared recently (I think they come via Search2000 when IE is used). They won't right-click for deletion, nor will they allow themselves to be drop-dragged to the recycle bin. They don't appear in the desktop icon list when using the desktop cleanup feature.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy computer boots up normally ( I am running windows xp home), the splash screen comes up, I am able to login and windows desktop shows up and starts to load, within 10 seconds or so the desktop turns black. I am still able to see the mouse and move it. I am able to do Ctrl+Alt+Delete and access windows task manager and open programs. I just have a black background as my desktop, not able to see or click anything. I have tried to start windows in safe mode, and all other modes, and it still does the same thing. I tried to do a system recovery and that didnt work either. It is unable to do a recovery. I can't seem to figure out what it is... iv also opened up norton anti virus through the task manager and did a live update . When I open programs though the Task manager it pops up over the black background and I can still use them(as I am using IE right now). So I know its not the monitor.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI seem to have a minor problem that I haven't been able to figure out. I have a dell laptop, and every time I go to my desktop window with all my icons, the window doesn't seem to cover all the screen. Therefore, it shows blackness in the background, in other words, its black on the sides of the screen where desktop window doesn't cover. I tried going to control panel and display to fix the resolution or the size of the window.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'll cut to the chase.What I am asking is someway of turning the Entire Windows Desktop/Screen "Black and White" not simply High Contrast.I am one of those unfortunate ones, like many, that suffer from quite severe migraines from time to time. Couple this with frequent headaches, sometimes daily. This obviously isnt helped by the fact that my hobby and career are both in IT. I have tried every possible solution to alleviate the headaches. Lay off certain foods, make sure to have a balanced diet. Turn off any strong lighting around my computer screen, remove any strong colours from the desktop etc.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy desktop has decieded to add the 'menu' bar down trhe left had side of the screen. It is the same as the type which appears on the left hand side of open folders in XP. I created a new user account and it was OK until the screen went into screen saver and I needed to log back in and the problem was there again. This appears to have only started to happen when I added my XP laptop to the wired network.

I have a SONY VAIO 2.53 GHZ P4 Processor, 512 RAM, Windows XP pro (not so valid edition) 2 year old Comp. And I have 2 hard drives both 200GB, C: (windows and programs) D: video editing files...
I have a project to turn in TOMORROW... I could get in Big trouble and Fail a class if i dont get this done TONIGHT
SITUATION:
Last Night I noticed when I was editing that some of my avi exports were all distorted and fragmented... So i figured "I havent EVER ran defrag (stupid me) on this hard drive maybe I should defrag it" So I looked into a defrag program called "diskeeper" I defragged C: (windows drive) and attempted to defrag D:.... I came to my comp and discovered an error that just said failure with the drive or something... After that I could not access (D I restarted, diskcheck did not work, and I dont want to do system restore... I posted on another websites forum and someone said I probably went over the 137GB limit... I think when I went over the 137GB limit, it possibly overflowed over some kind of boot files or something that lets windows read the disk i dont know (not that techincal with computers)So i looked into that, and I have an ATA card... and Windows NO service pack XP pro... Ive heard things about having a 48 bit bios or something... And after installing WINDOWS XP SP1... I try to get on my computer and i load windows
On my HP laptop, I can not move any of the desktop icons. They snap back to original position when released.
"Auto Arrange" is not checked. I have tried with "Align to Grid" both on and off. "Lock Web Items on Desktop" is not checked.
When i was on the net i clicked save web page as to see what would happen. Now all my icons on my desktop look like they are highlighted when they are not.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI wanted to change icons on my desktop. so i was looking for the function, went into folder options, then to file types tab, I clicked on file folders, then on advanced. Didn't select anything, clicked ok. After that every time I click on a folder it would open in acdsee. So I went back there, couldn't find a setting to readjust it, then added a new command to open folders in explorer. Now each folder I click on opens in a new window.
All of my desktop icons except for the recycle bin have disappeared? Why? and how do I get them back?
