Just that really - no map under time zone - just blue screen. Date + time I can change np.Here are some screenshots:- time and date are fine but I belong on GMT this is what i see when I hit the timezone tab when I try to change it - whole box just goes white - no script visible and finally the internet time tab - trying to synchronize doesnt work either.If anyone can tell me what i need to change to fix this - or what registry keys I need to change -
im using xp and ive run avg antivirus, adaware, spybot, regcleaner, and looked for things myself. i think ive worked out most of the viruses but timezone.exe is still taking up most of my resources including ram and processor<--my processor usually jumps between 50% and 100% constantly i heard that its a windows app but if it is it hasnt run on my computer very much before for me to notice it and it probably shouldnt be taking up so many resources
I am running windows xp pro edition. When I switch on my pc it loads the icons, then for a split second my desktop background flashes and then turnes blue. This is also repeated when I shut down the puter. When I right click, and click on properties, I then click on desktop and you can only select a color as your background? The browse button is frozen, the scroll bar is frozen as well. They are a tanish color and unclickable. Can someone please help me change my background back to an image? I have been using "Webshots desktop" for years and have never had any problems.

I have my text size set at Largest in the view menu on IE6, lately it isn't working and I am really having some serious problems I had a cornea transplant last Jan and I have not gotten new contacts yet, ( my Doc told me I am good to go for using the puter, in case anyone's concern) I HATE HATE ATE the magnifier, its very disorienting, so what could possibly be causing this, my spyware sanners turn up nothing Norton turns up nothing, I went t0o a sight for ASAP or some thing for "professionals" thru a link on the board, and I got an X-Clean thing, I figured it was safe cause another member had it as a link, was I hijacked someplace else. Could this be the problem?
I help the silver haired generation with issues they may have with their computers and peripherals. I have come across this one machine, belonging to an older lady, who's grand kids have some how managed to lock her out of her CD/DVD and Floppy drives. This is happening in Windows XP Home. The only account that is active is the lady's own administrator account. The drives are visible in My Computer and Device Manager, but have big red no access symbols on them. I have looked everywhere i can think of to solve this, but have come up short.

I am experiencing this problem with my CD-R/W driver. I have windows XP and 2000 both installed on my system. The CD Drive is visible from windows 2000, but when i go to windows XP, i dont see the CD Drive there in My Computer. It used to be there earlier, but then it disappeared. Normally when some bad CD is inserted, it disappears ,but it appears again on restart. Now its not appearing altogether !!! I know that its driver is the cause. Will I need to download a driver for it ? What might be the reason? Howcome it is functioning okay in Windows 2000?
I looked through the add and remove program box ,and i found this one program AdWARE & SPYware. How would i be able to get rid of this program ?. I've already downloaded an Anti-virus protector called Kaspersky Anti-virus Personal pro 5.0. I've already scanned my computer and it found 2 viruses. I don't know if this program i am using to scan my computer for viruses works or not. I've never heard of the program, but it's been recommended by many.

I have two computers on my LAN. I have a folder on one of the PCs(D:MP3s) that has about 40GB of music, etc. I shared this folder and on the other PC, I mapped a drive pointed at that folder.The problem is, some of the folders and files are not visible when I explore the mapped drive. For instance D: ockrian wilsonsmile appears on the first PC, but when I look in Z: ock (on the mapped drive on the second PC) the Brian Wilson folder is not present.I estimate the mapped drive only "sees" about half of what I have. Don't know what to make of it, really.
I just booted up, got onto the internet, was reading some email and noticed that everything at the bottom of the screen, ie. the start button, certain program startup icons and the taskbar, have disappeared. I was going to attach a HijackThis scan, but don't know how since the log page saved is not visible at the bottom of the page.
Using WIndows XP, I have my music files folders set to details view. Recently the ID3 information has not shown up. I can view it through winamp file info or through my tag editor. However file properties does not give any info either. All other information in detail view is available, date modified, type, size.
Content of directory "Downloaded Program files" is invisible. How can I do it visible? I checked that in Folder options "Show hidden files..." is selected and " Display the content of system folders" also is checked.
I've just taken my brand new desktop system out of the box and there's no Start menu or icons appearing on the desktop. The monitor automatically initiated a startup wizard to select the correct resolution but once that was complete, the desktop was blank (except for the Windows default rolling green hills wallpaper). Not even the mouse pointer is visible. I restarted but after startup it went to the blank picture again. I tried pressing the Windows key on the keyboard,and also tried Ctrl+Alt+delete to get the Task manager but both times nothing happened. All components are plugged in correctly, and I haven't installed any software other than what came installed from the manufacturer (please see specs in my profile); I literally plugged it all in and switched it on.
At completely random intervals(e.g. 2 minutes, 3 hours, sometime during the day/night), the computer 'locks me out' - the screen remains visible but the mouse is 'frozen', the keyboard will not function, any discs in their slots will not release.The system will restart with no apparent problem until the next lock out.I've had a systems check done at the local shop and they are fairly certain that the hardware is not causing the problem.
I went on vacation, and when I came back, I wasn't able to view myspace songs, myspace videos, and stuff on other websites.I don't know if someone messed with my computer while I was gone. Is there something I can download that would make this work again?
