Desktop Icons Always Highlights Issue
Aug 17, 2007Some minor problems with my desktop interface. It really is minor, but it could be a sign of a greater problem. I don't know, so I'm asking. For one thing, my shortcut icon titles are always high-lighted. Always. If I single click on it the icon highlights as well. And also, my computer keeps trying to connect to broadband, which I don't have. It always fails, of course, but a notice saying it's trying to connect pops up every so often. When that notice is up, internet stops working. Once i click cancel, a connection comes back. I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I'll ask it anyway.

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.

Desktop Is Now Just Blue With Icons
Mar 17, 2006About a week ago windows told me that it had "detected spyware" so began installing antispyware software. After this had completed, and I was told that I needed to spend the $24 to buy the software to rid me of all the various nasties the internet supplies, i deleted the software and had developed the problem of not being able to see my wallpaper. Since looking round I've found that it's now down the active desktop being disabled somewhere along the line, without my knowledge. Having gone through the largely useless and time consuming "help" that is given on the Microsoft help section, I've now discovered that, although i do have active desktop on me computer, i have no way of getting to it, turning it on, or even finding any trace of it. Can anyone help, as my desktop is now just blue with icons.

View 11 Replies View RelatedIcons Have Picked Blue Box On Desktop
Mar 7, 2010On my desktop the icons have picked up a blue box with >>. Some have a white box with a little right leaning arrow.Note: the system has slowed down. I was using Comcasts free McaVee and then got a notice that my free subscription has expired. Comcast now provided Norton for free, so I went there and downloaded that virus software. While de bugging I have cleaned errors uncovered by CheckIt Register Cleaner program and Skybot. On booting it takes it's time. The McaVee burped when I reset to a earlier starting point (one day).running standard PC with XP. I have updated windows. I don't have KB977165. I see from below this is incorrect. I do have this pill???? I am a novice (but old) user, easily confused.

Jun 18, 2005I'm pretty sure the title is self explainatory. I went to sleep last night with the computer on and when I woke up this morning the blue screen was there. I restarted and when Windows loaded the taskbar and the desktop icons were missing. It's been like this all day. I've done System Restores and uninstalled recent things that I've installed.

May 21, 2007This is SIMILAR to several posts I've seen, but different in a subtle way. I have no desktop icons and no wallpaper on one of my computers, but I have the start toolbar and tray icons, and I have access to task manager and all my programs. However, when I right click on the desktop and click arrange icons all the options are grayed out. Also, I cannot change the wallpaper - it remains solid blue (or any other color) no matter what I try. Neither picture wallpapers nor tiled wallpapers appear. I've included the hijack-this log below.

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.
