Icon Names, Are Blurred And Out Of Focus
Aug 18, 2006
When I my computer boots, the images, especially the fonts of the icon names, are blurred & out of focus. After a while it gets normal. Since once it got o.k. after I started defragmenting a volume, I am trying it everytime with success. However, maybe it's a co-incidence & the blurring goes away automatically after a time. Can this be a monitor problem? I am using a LG Monitor which is otherwise perfectly alright & a Win XP SP2 O.S.

I just reinstalled Windows XP on my computer and now I cannot create a new folder. I usually right click and select New>Folder but for some reason I can't do it. I also noticed that I cannot read any of the names of the icons in My Computer. All I can see is the icon itself but no label. I've never had this problem before even after re-installing a OS.

Dell computer from 2001. . I was on the regedit screen, and when I went into one of the HKEY_LocalMachine or one of those HKEY folders, the "Classes" folder got deleted. That's when everything kind of...messed up. Regedit stopped working (asked for an "appropriate program from the list" to use with it) and almost everything stopped, so I had to shut the computer down.
Now when I shut it down and tried to get back on, I couldn't get ANYTHING on the logon screen except a dinky little Windows logo, with no usernames, making it impossible to logon!
how the heck do I get back to the WIndows logon screen with the usernames back? Do I need a special CD I need to purchase, and is there anyway to get back the users without losing all my stuff? Please help.
you can post here to help or email me at kobetheman1212@gmail.com

just bought a second user PC, is there any way we can remove the names he has to log on with to get it back to original as it were. He has all the passwords.
He's been trying to download the Turbo Lister programme for eBay, it looks as though everything downloads OK but when he clicks on the Turbo Lister icon nothing happens. Someone suggested it could be due to the older names in the system.

I noticed recently that my system and other folder names have changed on their own! What the -h- happened? I have never seen anything like this before. These folders appear on all of my drives c:, d:, g: and they are random. It looks like they are of another language, maybe? Actually, the wording makes no sense at all...> It looks like most of these folders previously existed.
Things I have done: Ran Anti-V program + Ewido Suite = No viruses, trojans, malware, etc. Ran three adware programs (ad-aware, spywareblaster, spyware doctor) = Clear. Checked all running processes and startup tab in mscofig = no peculiar programs detected. Ran regseeker = Phenominal amount of invalid keys, etc. (3,000+) very unusual to the norm!!!

What is the name of the display element for a highlighted item in Windows Explorer for when Explorer does NOT have the focus? In the standard XP them(blue) the highlight colour is a strong blue while Explorer has the focus. When it loses the focus it becomes a very pale mushroom that is almost impossible for me to see.I would like to change that but cannot find the correct display element in Display properties/appearance/advanced.

I'm running a dual monitor setup with with Windows XP and a NX6600GT-VTD128 graphics card. Though in my searches, I've come to the repeated answer that what I'm wanting is impossible at this moment in time I suppose it never hurts to ask anyway.
I want to be able to run full screen applications on one monitor and switch to applications on the other without the fullscreen app collapsing to the desktop. Is there any way to do this?
I understand that the alternative to this to just run the full screen app in windowed mode, but not all programs support this. Is there any third party software that can force a program to run in windowed mode?
I'd greatly appreciate any insight anyone may have..thank you for taking the time to help me.

whenever I run a fullscreen program for example a game, or go into standby mode and then resume to my desktop the icons, the windows and text etc are all quite blurred and not so crisp anymore. I had recently bought my laptop which is a Compaq Presario C793VU Notebook PC and it had Vista on it but I don't really like Vista so I downgraded to XP and installed most of the drivers that I could find. I would take screenshots of before standby/fullscreen and after except when I did both the images looked the same. After I restart/turn off my computer the display is fine until I stanby or play a game.

Like I said in the title. In one of my folders, (and only that particular one), all file and folder names are missing. I don't know if it's a design feature or a bug, but I really want those names back. Can it be caused by malware?

when i load my laptop, below is how it looks. my icons are wrong, they don't have names - right click doesn't show information and my start bar is out of whack. to resolve it i just reselect windows xp theme. - though again, every time i restart the laptop i'm in the same situation..it has seemed to move over to some of my browsers, it seems like only firefox will work - and some things are still off. for instance the images below - the game was loaded in ff w/ ie tab extension, and google chrome - and the Internet video has been loaded in ff

My A drive (floppy disk) does not work. Hence, I bought an external floppy disk drive which works very well. This second drive has been named "3 1/2 Floppy B:" by the computer. The problem is that I am working with a program that is looking for floppy drive A, not B, and since drive A is useless, I'm wondering how I can have the program recognize drive B as the correct drive to use. I attempted to rename drive B as drive A, but the computer would not allow me.

In a controlled environment, my users can access the control panel by going to RUN then type CONTROL. I need to know if there is a command similar to that to open the Printers and Faxes window without going through the control panel? (I don't like users to go where they don't belong!)

I restarted my computer after ripping some cd's and when it came back on I began ripping another before I opened a window and clicked on a folder only to notice it was working as shift-click. The rip finished and I restarted again and this problem was gone but a new one had replaced it - Windows Explorer no longer displays folder names. Please help if you can because reinstalling windows is a big hassle.

no IE icon on desktop or in programs. i have internet access through verizon. i recently got windows update to install IE7 in the hope that would restore the icon/program but the only way i can access the internet is via the verizon browser. i clearly installed IE7 because now the "sidebar" of my verizon browser says that "sidebar i currently not compatible with IE7...". so why can't i get the IE7 icon in my program list or desktop?
