All icons are shaded and wavy after installation of the patch and restart (win xp sp3). How can I fix it?
After you have installed the latest patches, all icons are shaded with vertical lines undulate on them. Computers desktop and in Windows Explorer. Application windows appear clear, but icnos in their midst are the same way. What should I do to fix this anomaly?
-J' tried the obvious desktop refresh. No change.
-J' rebooted in safe mode, and then back to standard mode. No change.
What else can I try?
Hi JimGoode,
Unfortunately, the screenshots are not available in the post.
Given that the question does not appear in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.
If the previous step fails, then use SkyDrive download screenshots of icons.
Use SkyDrive download collected files and after shot/screenshot.

I have a Photopshop components 10.0 on my Mac, I bought it in English, did an upgrade of my Mac OS Yosemite and suddenly the language of Photoshop is German. How can I fix?
The same thing happened to me, but I think I've cracked it. What you do is the following: go to:
-the Apple Menu
-System preferences
-Language and region
You will probably find that you have only a preferred language, which is English. Press on the + key and add German. Then they ask what language is the language of your choice. Choose English, then open Photoshop Elements. When I did this he opened in English. Yay!

Hi aubreyfrances,
Seems that your preview cache has become corrupted.
You must go to the same place where your catalog is stored and get rid of Previews.lrdata (not .lrcat) file
Then, launch Lightroom and check.

The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded. "I can always access the internet but what do I do to get rid of this message. The home page does not display the icon of firefox.
You can check the setting of the homepage:
- Tools > Options > general > startup: Homepage
Firefox supports several home pages separated by ' |' symbol (pipe).
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
