• Satellite L550 - square black on the desktop icons after upgrading to Windows 7

  Hi people.

  Don't know if Windows 7 has simplified our PC as Microsoft would have us believe. I spent the last two days trying to understand why my L550 has suddenly square black on my desktop icons.

  What happens after the installation of Microsoft, application of a software patch updates for a HP deskjet 5150 printer. To be honest, I'm more sure when this nuisance hits me.

  Resolution true color (32 bit) upward in color (16 bit) downgrade rid my icons of black squares. Should I therefore settle for a lower resolution when my laptop can do better? Any workaround yet?

  Thank you

  Hey, Mambo,

  What exactly are you installing if you visit the Windows Update page? Maybe you install a different display driver that isn't compatible with the graphics card.
  Check this box!

  Also, make sure that the new display on the site of Toshiba driver is installed.

  Is the software patch for your printer that is compatible with Windows 7?

• The desktop icons are scattered after Windows updates

  I just applied the February patched to my laptop running vista Home premium. I now have a new icon on the bar called "intel graphics media accelerator driver for mobile' tasks and my desktop icons are scattered. What's past and how to fix it. I can't find mention of the graphics accelerator intel in the list of applied patches.

  Suggestions:

  1. go into "View Update history" > mark down the KB # of you February patch.
  2. If your Windows Update is set to Auto, change it to manual.
  3. do a system restore. Choose the date before you install the latest Windows Update as your restore point.
  4. If everything is back to normal after the system restore, ask a question in the Windows Update forum. Ask if this KB # is required to install or if you can ignore that.
  at the moment I am unable to go to the Windows Update forum. So I can't give you the link to the forum. You will have to do it yourself.
  5. soon you will receive the new update available. Check the update. If you find the same update you have problems with, don't install this one until you get the answers from experts in Windows Update.

  How to restore the system:
  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, click
  > Next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

• The desktop icons move after reboot

  original title: the desktop icons

  I have Windows 7 and when I manually move some icons on the left side of the screen to the right of the screen... they stay there.  I entered the office properties and click on the appropriate buttons.  Everything's fine until I restart the computer.  The strange thing is that only a couple of icons that were positioned on the right side are now on the left side.  I and then pull them to the right and everything is OK until the next reboot and we start over again.  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Hi tom sk,.

  Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

  Check if "Auto Arrange icons" is enabled.

  If so, uncheck it and move icons, restart the computer and check.

  Your Antivirus software could be parasitic. Try temporarily disable you security software and check.

  If the problem persists, install a third-party program in windows that govern funds layout and positions for your that you can restore it later.

• How to get a desktop icon to open enlarged using IE8?

  OK, I'm back with the eternal question. How can I get an icon of Web site that is saved on my desktop to open in a maximized State? I'm using IE8 and Vista 64-bit. Internet Explorer window opens now enlarged very well, but all of the icons that I save on my desktop have no function enlarge when I right click the icon. All previous efforts such as you drag the image up, then close it while holding down the control key didn't work. I installed a third-party program, "Autosizer", which works fine until the last round of Windows updates. Now it has compatibility problems, so I had to uninstall this program. Microsoft has a fix yet? Help, please.

  Charita142,

  This procedure works perfectly for almost any version of Windows, including Windows 7. I just bought a computer with Windows 7 and had the same problem, but I set myself for this procedure. Here it is again. This should do it for you as long as long as you follow the steps correctly. Now all Windows IE to open come expanded no matter what I use to open them. I use the right-click of the links opening in a new window all the time and now they are all open. It is true of all the desktop icons that I do for Web pages as well as for all the shortcuts located in the taskbar. Everything works fine now. The funny part is that the solution to this problem is exactly the same as it was for XP or Vista. I think we just were we not followed the steps correctly, but in any case, here is the solution:

  Open a Web page. Soft at full size. Do not use to maximize.
  Choose any link on this Web page and right click > open in a new window.
  Stretch this second window to the size desired-do not use maximize.
  Close the first window of IE. Then close this second resized window.

  This is exactly as it was in previous versions of Windows. It worked perfectly for me. Good luck with it.

• The desktop icons do not respond after the use of IE

  Hello

  Anyone got a solution for this? When the computer is turned on I can use the icons on the desktop, no problem. However, after I used Internet Explorer from the desktop icons don't respond well the pograms can be opened from the start menu. As the recent problem I tried uninstalling some updates recently installed, without solving the problem. Using Windows Vista and IE9

  After that I used Internet Explorer from the desktop icons do not respond

  Does that mean exactly?   For example, what do you see?   For the best answer to this question, you could use ProcMon and know what modules are involved when you do what these are.   ;  )

  However, without using ProcMon you can check with the Manager task or resource or ProcExp monitor if there is always a hidden background iexplore.exe processes running or anything related to IE which started as a result of your using IE.   If so then try to kill these processes.   Etc.

  Related to this, you could also consider what you used IE before your symptoms occurred.   This means that would understand that make your "desktop icons" and change it to something more neutral.   For example, if you had clicked on was a shortcut Internet (aka the .url file) that requires a network connection, change for people who only runs locally, such as about: blank.   So if you could close the window that has opened and always use the shortcut you would have refined your description of symptom to involve the network connections.

  Related to that, would be your security package, for example, some are trying to act as a hidden proxy to "analyze" the HTTP traffic.   Then the problem would not be IE but the hidden proxy.  Etc.

  You can't wait for a "fix" until you have a fully understood symptom.   More details and diagnosis is necessary IMO.
