Dec 25, 2006A few weeks ago, I clicked on an attachment, and nothing happened in the foreground. However, now I have an icon (zero bytes) on the Desktop that defies removal. When I try to delete it I get Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk. Ive booted up from several PE bootables and tried using various explorers but even they give the same windows message. Ive dropped to console several times and drilled to the Desktop, but it is invisible. So it is a figment of XP. The icon is named �What NOT to do with a housecat.It cannot be renamed or pushed into another folder. Very weird. This is a nice learning experience. I do a bit of computer repair so I run into weird things all the time. The computer behaves normally in every way. XP Home, 3.3 gHz., 1 gig. ram, etc. Im sorry to have deleted the offend-ing email, as it may have yielded good evidence. Ive used Resplendent Registar, to find evidence of it in the registry. Even went to the �icon nameplace�, and there was nothing of importance. Rootkit Revealer reports: zone identifier hidden from Windows API�. (26 bytes).Blacklight rootkit prog. found no hidden items. Ive tried to use several linux bootables, but they do not work with my SATA drives.So the computer is fine, just one little annoyance. But I would like to learn from this in case I see it again in the future. Also, other people at the hospital opened it up and whatever it was, didn�t cause an issue.

Ideally thefilter would not show up anywhere in the windows GUI; for example, noicons/shortcuts or menu items created. If it can't be completelytransparent, at least something that can be configured to be highlyobscure.

Nov 18, 2006I' m supplying a screen shot. Recently I started having my task bar on the left and have started to like it. Then just now I found that nvidia can make it transparent which I tried and also like but now whenever I hit the start menu and click a program or click away, part of the start menu is ghosted into the task bar. The only way to get rid of it is to move the task bar or take a boxed window and rub it through underneath the task bar to make it disappear.

Jul 9, 2008i have an image (bmp, jpg) size 800X600 its RGB color is 16,0,16. If I play a video in windows media player and then open the image with windows picture viewer, the image becomes transparent and the video can be seen. this always happens for the first video. If I have many videos lined up to run in a sequence, on some computers the transparency remains through out the duration of all the video, while on some machines every alternate video can be seen. An idea why the same happens. I need the video to be seen always with the image over it as a small part of the image contains a logo in white color.

Jan 8, 2007I am having difficulty with text diplaying in bizarre fashion. The machine is a Dell Optiplex tower operating Windows XP Pro. When I am in an application or browsing web pages and choose one of the dropdown boxes, the box drops down and shows the outside lines of the box. Then when you swipe your cursor over the dropdown it will display the text that is invisible. All that I have to do to show the text is pass the cursor over the area. If I do not swipe the are with the cursor the text will be there, I assume, but never display.Has anyone encountered this issue before.
