Bunch Of Internet Links - Icons Are Unmovable
Nov 15, 2007
this all started after I was reading a post about someones sound problems that were similar to mine. Someone made a post saying to download a registry entry and run it. I did and then i restared the computer and got a buttload of symptoms. (trying to find the link to the editor)Starts slowly and waits at the welcome screen for awhile.All I see is the desktop backgound, no toolbar or icons.I can get the icons back thru Cntrl-Alt-Dlt, Run new task "explorer.exe"This brings back the icons but not the toolbar and the icons are unmovable.A bunch of internet links dont work and get alot of errors saying i dont have java enabled.

Using Window Blinds, a software to customize your computer. So I was just check how different themes would look, then at the end I put it back to normal, but my desktop is acting really funny, because when I right click on the desktop, then go on Arange Icons by, I click on Auto Arange, all the icons bunch up really close together, so the My Computer Icon covers the My Document, name and so on.

My icons have disappeared, and I want them back! Can someone help me out with this? The only system change, if any, was that I ran ad-aware before it happened, and my computer was fine while I browsed the internet, used Itunes,etc. Then I started playing a game that I play all the time, (Live for Speed), but it crashed to desktop, and my icons began to get whacky.They were blank for a time being, now they're all unknown file icons. I tried some suggestions I found on google, but with no success.

for some reason i was under the impression that my work computer had virus protection. well... nope. i had to reload the o/s (windows 2000 pro) after the computer crashed but fortunately i lost none of my data, mostly because i keep it on a thumb drive so i can work on it at home. i now have norton AV on it and got rid of more than 14 viruses or threats, and now i am wondering if anything else was left that wasn't detected. oh, and the computer is a dell optiplex gx150 workstation.

i have a computer that's being hounded by spyware. everyonce in a while on bootup a folder called ISTsvc will popup. i've run AdAware, Spybot, Spyware blaster, Shredder, AboutBuster, CCleaner and FxIstbar. i've run these in safe mode too. they've removed a bunch of bugs, but when i reboot the problem surfaces again.
i have mcafee virus scan and a firewall. So, i'm kind of out of ideas. Also, my little windows update (which i've told to notify me only of updates) says its downloading but it hangs at 0% and it WONT CLOSE. so can someone take a look at this hijack this log and throw me a bone.

above my address bar i have the Links toolbar which has several links such as google, hotmail, and gmail.When ever you create a new link and add it to the bar (i drag the web page there) a link is created and there is usually an icon placed to the left of it. for example, google's is a "G". has anyone ever noticed though that after a couple of days the picture disappears and turns to the internet explorer icon with the "e".what do u have to do to make each pages original icon stay there permanently.

I recently donloaded the trial version of kapersky av since i heard its the best. It detected a bunch of trojans that AVG and CA antivirus never detected. Any ideas wat hese are or where they could have come from? Is this the system restore directory? Are these maybe older viruses still stuck in older system restore folders?? Please help, im a pretty careful web surfer and always have AVG active protection running so i dont understand how thse viruese got through?

Alright, my in laws are having a problem with their computer and they said that last weekend Windows XP (SP3) asked to reactivate so they did without a hitch. I've never had a computer ask to do that unless I changed some hardware (which they did not) but maybe it's just never happened to me! So last week (a couple of days after the reactivation) they said weird things started happening. For instance if you go to the start menu to active windows, it comes up with a blank screen, the Windows search function comes up with a green screen and the little dog but that's it, IE doesn't load unless you type in an address and I couldn't get any web page to load that uses Active X. I ran the Kaspersky online test with no problems found and I couldn't run the antivirus from Eset because it requires Active X. Windows media player also doesn't load, it just brings up a blank screen. My father in law was able to defrag the computer though. I didn't have much time to really play with it so I'm not 100% sure what else isn't working but I know Firefox, Utorrent and VLC work fine. Has anyone had a similar problem or know where I should start to fix this?

Upon opening my recycle bin before deleting all trash, I discovered a bunch of files with .bak after them. Since I don't know how to open them and see what they are, they look like information I had moved to my filing system to the left of my messages on IE. I have no idea how they got into the recycle bin as I didn't delete most of them. How do I find out what they are and where they are if I should undo delete? If I undelete will they go somewhere I can read them? Using XP

We have recently sorted out my `windows installer`problem but now when I start up windows it takes about 3mins for all the icons to load up on my desktop There is nothing there just the wallpaper and then after about 3mins the icons for my programs load up I thought it was something to do with the start up in msconfig`so I ticked them all to load up but its still happening and also my Nortons internet 2005 is disabled on start up even though its ticked to load up on start up.Yet my antivirus from norton loads up and its connected to the same program

I don't know what to do.now 3/4 of all my shortcut icon images are gone, and all my office documents, etc. are just the standard window icon. What do I do?

I had to delete a bunch of programs on my dell dimension desktop because it needed memory ( i think) to perform simple tasks such as loading a photo program like kodak. Anyhow, since then, the mouse refuses to work. I can always reboot...till the cows come home; but I'm unable to click on any icon on the desktop because the mouse appears stuck in one postion.

I use Windows 2000 professional edition.It has both service pack 4 and ws2_32 package.I was trying to install iTune.After I restarted after installation, the process stopped at a blue screen saying there is a critical error,or something like that. So I restarted computer and this time used F8 button to make it start at last known good configuration. When Windows started again, iTune finished installation. Then a bunch error messages popped up from various software's. The messages included ws2_32.dll invalid or too old, sockets initiation fail, and TCP/IP not installed. On top of that the internet stopped working. I have tried installing ws2_32 package again, but it didn't work. I am about to try reinstall service pack 4 roll up 1.

I have a PC which boots up okay and I can double click on any icon, they open and when I minimise them they minimise. When I start Internet Explorer it all works fine with other icons maximising and minimising as they should. However when I close Internet Explorer I can't click on any icons and when I select them from the Start, Programs menu they start but won't minimise.

On Windows XP, when I click on "Search," I come to a "Windows Search" screen that has "Desktop" and "Web" as choices for a search. I typed in ".pst" and got a bunch of Outlook messages and not where the Outlook .pst folder is. Is there another choice for "Search" that will show me where the searched-for is?

I recently experimented with the desktop alternatives and ended up with larger than wanted Links bar icons.
How can I reduce the size of these icons?
Nothing I've reversed has helped.
Thanks, Bob

This is so strange. For some reason I can't click on any link sent to me in an email (I use Outlook Express) or in a messenger program like MSN or Yahoo Messenger. it seems to be any link that would open a new window when clicked on.It was working fine this morning, but now I can't, even though I've restarted several times.All I've done on my PC today is remove a bit of spyware with X-Cleaner, and installed Windows Media Player 10. I've tried doing a System Restore back to this morning but it's had no effect. Does anyone have any ideas why this is?I'm on a laptop with a touchpad, but everything else is working fine.
