Active Desktop Recovery appears at night & won't go away!

• Active Desktop Recovery appears all night - does not disappear.

  Sometimes my computer switches to Active Desktop recovery, usually at night.  It asks if I want to stop the execution of scripts, but no matter if I answer 'Yes' or 'No' - nothing happens.  Sometimes I can fix by changing my desktop picture or screensaver, or by running the Search & Destroy from Spybot or Ad-Aware, but a few days later, it happens again!  I use Windows XP Home Edition 2002 with SP2 on a PC clone computer.  I don't have XP discs.

  Todd.E.Pullen,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  I suggest also run you antivirus software.  The two you mention are especially designed for malware.  If you do not have an antivirus program, then you can download a free here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

  I would also make sure that your computer is current with updates.  Run the Windows update tool.

• Background is now white screen "Active Desktop Recovery"

  original title: white screen "Active Desktop Recovery".

  My screen went WHITE with big letters proclaiming "Active desktop recovery."      All my icons are still there and work very well.   But when I try to click on restore Active Desktop button, nothing happens and there is a white screen with all the instructions, etc.  I tried everything, including the 'Display' Panel and tried setting to the top of my new wallpaper, but no luck.  I restarted the system several times, and when it loads the white screen is still there.   Note: When I go to view, context parameters are NOT operational.  The cursor won't move.   It will allow me to set the color, but nothing makes a change.     Everything works fine, but I can't seem to get rid of white screen and the words "ACTIVE DESKTOP RECOVERY more phrases sub on how to cure it... have nothing to this problem."   Thank you, BobnKathyS.   For the purpose of the email, I prefer to use the following: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  -right click on the desktop > properties.

  -Select the Desktop tab

  -Customize Desktop button

  -Select the Web tab

  -Remove all the other current office links except for the "My homepage" link, so all the other links are listed (checkbox, then the button Delete)

  This step is the clincher:

  -Turn it off "my checkbox on the current home page.

  -Click on apply

  -Click OK

  Office should return to normal.

• active desktop recovery message appears everytime I turn on my computer, how do I get rid of it

  I didn't add something back to one of my sites or web pages, my computer was left on and I guess that came into fashion "sleep" and was extinguished without being loged out.

  I suggest you restore the system to an earlier date before the problem.

  If this does not work a good cold start (make a start > Shutdown > Shutdown and wait that it to completely disable and then give 15-20 seconds and power back on) after correcting your office to be where you need it. If it does not work. I suggest to remove all the websites your ad, restart the computer, add them all back.

• don't knoe if you can help for this, but I get the error message "active desktop Recovery", desktop has been turned off. I followed the troubleshooting tips and tried to restore. no luck. can you help me?

• RECOVERY ACTIVE DESKTOP on the desktop...

  The program I was working to lock up my computer and since would not prevent it the Task Manager, I manually turned it down, but when I rebooted, my desktop image disappeared, and he said something: RECOVERY of ACTIVE DESKTOP with all sorts of troubleshooting tips.
  I don't seem to be able to solve the problem with the advice given, since the user under which I was working on on the computer has no right to administrator, can someone tell me how I can get my rear (instead of a white background, with all Active Desktop Recovery Tips). I would be so appreciative - because I do not know otherwise when it comes to the computer.
