The white goes away if I reboot.  Using Windows 7.

Hi Blee3,

It resembles a small empty window appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. I'll help you with this problem.

1. have you made changes on the computer recently?

2. what security software is installed on the computer?

 

Method 1.

Start the computer in safe mode and check if that helps.

Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

If the problem does not occur in safe mode, then proceed to clean boot state.

A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.

Note: Once you have finished troubleshooting, follow step 3 in the article to start on normal startup.

 

Method 2.

You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

 

Method 3.

I would like to create a new user account and check if the problem still persists.

Create a user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/Create-a-user-account

If the problem does not occur in the new user account, you can transfer the files from the damaged to the new user account by using the article user account "difficulty a user profile is corrupted.

  • Was a change made? : before the jpeg photo showed up at the upper-left corner of my screen, with a white background for the screen. The image now appears in the center of the screen, and the rest of the screen is completely black.

    By the way, when I put the url in Safari, it's the same as before, namely the image appears in the upper left corner, and the bottom of the screen/monitor full is white.

    You can try it with this URL to jpeg:
    http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/Crest/bison.jpg

    Yes, it is a new feature in Firefox 11, which was designed to improve the readability of images. You can install the https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-default-image-style/, which restores the change if you don't like it.

  • I have a white empty box in the upper left corner of my screen. How can I get rid of him?

    It's a white box in the upper left corner on my main screen (Center). There is nothing in it, and it covers a section of 6 icons on Desktop 3 across and 2 down.  It occurs during the boot process and I was not able to attach it to a specific program.   I was informed by Dell it is a Windows 7 problem.

    I had a computer technician who had encountered the problem before.  I have a Dell and this white box was some kind of problem with the backup of Dell and the restoration.  I just stopped the program of commissioning and the white box does not return.

  • When I search a topic I get the following to the upper-left corner of a screen empty: "the document pushed here." How to fix this?

    When I use Firefox to every search a Web site via a bookmark pre-recorded or by performing a search, I get the following message: "the document has moved here.". I then click on the "here" to access my site.

    I was walking in the suggestions from this site, I have tested the hardware acceleration, checked the default theme and finally enabled or disabled each extension I have. (And any other recommendations)

    It was with "Ghostery".

    Once I disabled and retested each individually I found that it was the problem and the cause of my problems.

    Thank you for helping me out and make this easy. I'm not nearly as smart as most of you when it comes to this 'trick', the steps you sketched out were very clear and easy to follow.

    Thank you!!

  • Firefox is locked in the upper left corner of my screen, lack the title bar

    11.0 FF the bar of menus is displayed but disabled (grayed out), and I can't for Min or Max FF (no buttons). No doubt I could Alt - F4, but I don't want to, I want to just be able to move again. This seems to have occurred as a result of accidentally pressing a sequence of buttons on the left side of the keyboard. I had to start a new instance of FF to access help. Any ideas?

    Maybe you opened a Web site in a tab that has disabled some elements of the user interface.

    You can try to open a new window (Ctrl + N) and if it works in this window, then drag the tabs open in this window and not close the working window.

  • How can I get the start button to appear on the screen in ny? He disappeared.

    my taskbar and start button does not appear when I start my computer. Later, I can't get to the control panel.

    Looks like you have your taskbar set to autohide.  If Yes, press Win - or Ctrl-Esc.   Or you could just bring up the run... dialog box by pressing Win - R to run control.exe

    Less likely you can see a case where explorer.exe is not running.   In this case, you can always open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.   So, then you could restart explorer.exe using the file Task Manager, new task... command.   Or again, just start that way control.exe, if it was really what you wanted to do.

    .. .all dialog box appears on screen is covered in "' so I can't put passwords or addresses of sites and if the sound is on a morse codes like noise appears with the comma...

    The character you are evidence is a single quotation mark or tick rather than a comma, but the character you see in reality is probably an asterisk in a mask the password text box. In both cases, the problem remains the same.

    You have a key stuck on your keyboard which instantly fills any box entry with the typed characters, they are ticks or asterisks. The only audible ringer is a normal computer error indicating that the keyboard buffer is full, but entry continues, once again an indication of a stuck keyboard key.

    Try another keyboard. It may be possible to launch a key by a sharp tap, but the problem will probably persist in the future. I hope that you don't talk about your laptop.

  • After FlashPlayer 11.04, a site with videos, like YOUTUBE opens a separate process and videos appear in the upper left corner and cannot be moved.

    After update to a version after FlashPlayer 11.02 when you open a window with flash videos on, next to the Firefox process in the taskbar appears a new process with the Flash Player icon and the video window is placed in the upper left corner and cannot be moved. If there is more a video on this page when you click on that Flash Player icon, you can see a list of all the videos.

    Using Flash Player 11.02 this problem does not occur and I used this solution for quite awhile, but now, if I use this version, I get a black window with an error message on security reasons, but if I click on it it plays without any problems. Although in a few Web sites that require Flash, he says he needs at least version 10, but I 11.02 but does not recognize it and ask to be upgraded.

    It's very weird because that doesn't happen in my laptop, I have a desktop computer with the exact same windows and version Firefx and this happens. I already tried uninstalling Firefox completely and even remove all plugins and extensions, and the problem persists.

    Uninstall Flash player also solves this, but then I wonder to upgrade the Flash player. This problem occurs in Chrome or IExplorer 10:

    Recent crashes of some multimedia content (this includes the Youtube videos, some flash games and other applications), in collaboration with Firefox are most likely caused by a recent update of Flash 11.3 and/or Real Player browser plugin to malfunction.

    To resolve this problem, follow the steps in these articles in the Knowledge Base:

  • Gray small box in the upper left corner.

    I open several sessions on my PC.  I toggle back between them often.  After gray several times to do so, a small box appears in the upper left corner of my office and will not go away until I restart.  It covers some of my icons and it's very frustrating to have to restart several times a day to get the icons is not hidden.

    I figured this out, at least in my case - which, by your description and a screenshot, was identical.  This grey area was related to the Manager restore backup & Dell (I think that was his name) - I found on the notifications area, click with the right button on it and left it.  If it happens again, I'll understand how to disable.

    In any case, this is what seems to cause this particular thing.
