All the icons and shortcuts are gone from my computer screen.

I down loaded a wiget google today and subsequently, I have experienced this problem. All my programs and all shortcuts are availble by Explorer and open the folder deshtop. They work very well, but the computer screen does not display them. When I opened the they seem normal, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the monitor. When I try to drag or send to, or save, I get a message that says that they cannot be sent to their current location. The computer knows that they are in the file offers / office but don't show them on the screen. I have add / remove programs but no change. I sent a file that was in a different place and it went in the desktop folder but not on the screen. It's like there's a toggle to see the show/don ' t somewhere. There is no corruption in the programs or files. Thank you for any advise you can give.

Attached to this day! I was able to run the restore and the date prior to the event. Only problem was Norton, I had to uninstall and re-installed but now works perfectly!

    original title: Auto Adjust

    Hello.

    Whenever we start to use our computer, the screen goes black and the message 'Auto adjust is in Prgress'. Then, all of our screen is small and all the icons and pages are smaller than before.

    I tried restoring the system that works and that gets our screen back to normal but every day that this Auto setting is coming and we can't seem to stop it.

    Any help would be appreciated... Thank you

    Try this:

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    Then:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • All the members (but 1) are removed from the entity dimension in planning and deployed to essbase. -What are the data deleted in essbase so? / The data can be restored by restoring the entity dimension?

    All the members (but 1) are removed from the entity dimension in planning and deployed to essbase.

    -What are the data deleted in essbase so?

    The data can be restored by restoring the entity dimension? EPMA the entity dimension is still in tact.

    It is unclear what exectly arrived, but looks like a change was made in the dimension entity planning (not EPMA) and then deployed (successfully).

    In essbase, we see that the entity dimension has only one member left for the appropriate plan types, as in the planning.

    If you remove members and then push that yes the essbase data is deleted, if you need back then you will need to go back to your restore process.

  • All the icons and screen menus desapeared start-up; Windows XP.

    After that I had "repaired" my PC with "AntiVir" asked me if I want all the files to repair damaged. I clicked 'Yes', the PC has restarted and I was amazed to see all the icons and the menu start disappeared from the screen. So, now I could open only programs from the Windows Task Manager. Please, help me find the way out of this situation. Thank you in advance.

    You see only your background image and the wallpaper?
    Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?
    Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.
    If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.
    If this is the case, the malicious software in general is preparing.
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.
    First, you need to get your work desk, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.
    Of your background image, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.
    Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:
    In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:
    %windir%\explorer.exe
    Click OK and see if get you your office.
    If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).
    If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.
    If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.
    I would start with these scans:
    Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Please report back with information about your system and your results if you need additional assistance.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

    all my icons turned into extensions of file and state that "windows is unable to open these files. I can't search the Web for a fix, because it downloads as a .lnk I can't open as well?

    Hi MarcSatz,
     
    -Did you change on your computer before this problem?
     
    This problem occurs when one or more of the following conditions are met:
    • The registry values that are associated with the file name extension are corrupted or missing values.
    • The computer is infected with a virus.

    Here is an article that will guide you in the process of fixing the issue:

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • All my tiles and documents are gone & my computer will not regenerate

    I turned on my computer this morning and my desktop image was changed, all my documents are gone and I have 3 tiles left Office Internet Explorer and store. I tried to right click in the lower right corner, but there was only the previously mentioned 3. I tried refreshing my PC, but it won't let me not entered to the top could not refresh. I got the documents on the pc where I had worked on for weeks and they are not in the history of the files either or one of the 150 photos.
    Please help me.

    You must confirm the first though if someone created a new administrator account so that you old account can be disabled or removed.

    In the case where non of above things that happened your pc can hit for some viruses then I would say to retrieve your data deleted first.
    Data recovery, you can use any freeware program like Recuva and make sure you select another drive of recovered data. You can make this setting any external hard drive or a separate partition.
    Once you have retrieved all your files, then I would recommend to perform a clean boot of formatting your hard drive and install a fresh copy of windows. Thank you
  • All my icons and clock are missing

    Hello:

    I don't see none of my icons so I couldn't get my serial number for an online chat.

    I tried to connect and it will output to the load.

    How to get back all my icons. My clock is also absent as well. Thank you.

    Try a forced reboot. No data is lost during this procedure. Hold on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • How can I determine what my CURRENT profile, because the Profile Manager shows 3 and all the questions and answers are ambiguous on this issue. THX.?

    Yes, I see ambiguity. I have also some old Save profiles of boards and I have 3 profiles showing under the Profile Manager. The folder under "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\" shows 2 of them, but how DO I know WHICH is my current profile? So far, I have been unable to navigate up a clear answer. THX.

    You seem to have created a profile in the Profiles folder and not as you should be in an empty folder.

    You already clicked the button Choose a folder and specified the profiles folder in the profile folder?

    You must always specify an empty folder and new for the profile if you really want to create one profile other than suggest Firefox (you can change the file extension part after the '. ': for example the default user-> my < name >)

    It would be preferable to cleaning the Profiles folder and delete all the files except the file profiles.ini and the default and files 'default user', although you might want to move to another location and start from scratch. If necessary, you can retrieve data from one of the two folders.
