Desk Top Icons On Top Of Each Other
Nov 6, 2006I have a PC running win xp and it recently crashed and as a result I had to re-install windows and since then everything appear to be ok apart from the fact that the icons on the desktop are over laying one another. If I right click the desk top and select 'arrange icons by' it makes no difference whatever combination of setting I chose for the desk top settings.

View 10 Replies View RelatedStrange Highlighting Error With XP
Jan 26, 2007I have an intermittent problem that causes a left click on my mouse to highlight not only the item I'm trying to select but everything below the selected item. For instance, clicking on a link on a web page causes the whole page below the link to become selected as if I was selecting the whole area. This happens across all programs when it happens including Explorer, Outlook, or anything where a selection can be made which leads me to believe it is an XP problem. The only way to resolve the problem is to reboot. I'm running XP Pro SP2 on a 3.4 P4 with 1 Gig of memory. This is a fresh install of XP on a new SATA drive but the problem occurred before this install as well. I thought the new install would cure it.
View 11 Replies View RelatedProgram Tabs Highlighting
Sep 13, 2007After my kids removed a program (Sims original) we have a problem with some of our windows program tabs staying highlighted. I am not sure if the SIMS had anything to do with it but I would like to get the tabs back to the way they were. It used to be if you hovered over a tab file name, it would highlight. If you clicked on it it would stay highlighted and then return to normal. Now it is highlighted as soon as the program opens, stays highlighted when you hover over it (instead of going back to normal when you move the mouse off it again) and all the tabs will end up highlighted and stay that way until a function is completed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedDesk Top Not Loading
Jun 30, 2008The icons on my desk top have recently been highlighted on the name portion of the icon before my desk top failed to load - I don't know if that means anything or not but thought I'd mention it. When I start my computer it begins the normal start up process and appears to be okay until it gets to the splash screen: Microsoft Windows xp Home Edition, that's as far as I can get, nothing on my desk top loads. I went into safe mode and ran a complete scan (Norton) for any viruses and there wasn't any detected. I did a registry repair too to no avail. Prior to this I tried a system restore to get rid of the highlighted icons on my desk top and for some reason and each time I tried it it said no changes had been made; I tried it again in safe mode and the same thing.

Exe Files Not Running - Desk Top Freezes
Aug 29, 2005I have an Alienware Pentium 4 PC which is refusing to run a number of programmes. When I double click I get the hour glass but then the pointer returns back to an arrow and its as if the programme never started. I've check the apps I have open and its not listed. I've tried reinstalling the application and it makes no difference. I also have a problem where my desk top freezes so I can't click on anything but my mouse still drives the pointer. I ran a hard disk check using a utility from Seagate and it found errors with the metafiles and file structure in section one of my drive.
