May 29, 2008my eyesight just ain't what it used to be. When you type an alphabet letter or number, there's always a little blinking line after the letter, or if you want to start a new line, you would hit the "enter" key and this little blinker moves to the beginning of the next line so you'll know where the next letter you type will be. When you hit the space bar it moves one digit to the right.
My problem is that this little blinker is so small and light, it gets lost in the background. The question is, what is the name of this little blinker and how do I make it a little bigger and darker. I found the one for the mouse cursor/pointer/i-beam but can't find the name of this other blinker.

Mar 19, 2006I am having difficulty changing my desktop wallpaper. No matter what I do, I cannot put a different picture or wallpaper on the desktop. I have already tried using the right click on the desktop and going into the properties that way. It won't even let me select any of the options for the wallpaper. And I used to be able to go to my photo files and just pick one, right click on it and select the "set as desktop background" option. But now it won't let me change it at all.

Sep 13, 2005When I login into Windows XP pro following a normal boot up, within a couple of seconds the top half of my screen cannot be accessed my desktop shrinks about half way down the screen.If I load an application it only opens /maximises in that portion of the screen.However, the actual desktop background remains unchanged!
It very weird because if I login under a different user this does not happen.It seems that my screen is acting as virtual screen?I have checked the settings and nothing seems different.

Sep 4, 2007i was working on a computer the other day helping someone "clean it up" and make it run faster. i did all the normal "clean up" stuff, got her back online, pc running much faster, everyone's happy.except for one thing: one of her original complaints was that her desktop background had recently reverted to all RED with this image in the middle that looks something like a biohazard logo. i tried changing the desktop background via the control panel, and it changed momentarily and then reverted back only moments later. I ran avg anti-virus and spybot to sweep her machine of any bugs/viruses (and found quite a few). when i left the red desktop was gone.

Sep 18, 2009I struggle to explain this one. This is a duplicate setup - i have two systems very nearly identical, both HP DC7600's, full-up 4GB RAM, 160GB HD, fairly fresh Windows XP Professional SP3, typical applications: MS Office, Picasa, iTunes, Realplayer, Google Chrome browser, blah blah. Nothing exotic.One of them, after being left with a half dozen tabs open in Chrome, and not much else going on other than AVAST Antivirus running in background, upon checking back in with the Screen Saver "On" [starfield], no password needed, the screen/display freezes on the background image, and nothing else pops up on screen except the mouse cursor.

This is also the same background that appears during the Windows start and shutdown sequence, before/after the desktop appears.
