Hello
This could be a normal behavior if all of these programs require administrator privileges to run.
Try to double click these shortcuts to see if you get the user account control window.
Let us know.
Thank you for using Windows 7

Some of the program icons are blue and yellow shield in Windows 7
What is the blue and yellow shield on some of my icons of programs. I can't understand how to remove the icon.
Items with the shield need administrator privileges to run. Most of these things will give a UAC pop-up or must be performed by right click and choose 'run as administrator '. I don't know of a way to remove the shield, but I've never tried it myself.
-
The appearance of the shield would perhaps mean that someone else has damaged or not supported my administrator privileges? This image appears next to some sources of wi - fi area, and there are programs such as Windows Error Reporting is no longer usable by the hot spot of the internet that I use.
The shield simply indicates that the button/link at the side there is a link that only system administrators can use. It does no harm to come to your computer.
However, this error you get when you try to use programs?

I recently noticed some icons on the desktop, shaking for a moment from time to time, which does not seem to be connected to everything I do. I noticed mostly with the icons for a few programs I downloaded recently (Switch Sound File Converter, WavePad Sound Editor and RecordPad sound recorder), even if I used these programs in the past without problem and did not notice anything unusual to suggest a virus. Does anyone know what this means? Thank you!
Hello
Step 1:
You can try to start in safe mode and check if the problem persists. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

framed color box color changes randomly - with red, blue and yellow
Hello
I want the user to do something when the color box changes from black (ready) to green (together), then red, yellow or blue (go). The user wil know what colors come to them.
The user will will push a specific sequence of buttons depending on the color.
Success will push the sequence of buttons assigned to a specific color. There are 16 push buttons. (this is to recall and response time)
In any case, I can write the program without problem.
The user can test red (push a specific sequence of buttons according to red), then blue and yellow. I can get to repeat a color so they will make four tests.
Sorry for being long-winded.
My question is how I randomly generates a color to begin a trial.
If this set of tests is unclear by the subject on go the color was presented randomly as a guest.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanking you in advance,
NK
If you have a fixed set of colors, put them in a table and generate a random number between 0 (Array Size-1) and an element of the matrix of the index. Multiply the random number (0-1), multiply by the rounded and maximum value at most closely to get your index.
If you want to generate a truly random color, use the RGB color VI and wire 3 random numbers between 0 and 255 to generate a random red, green and blue component like this:

original title: Windows Update acts confused - kb955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.
I just reset my CMOS settings, writing zeros for my hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted and used the recovery cd Gateway system to get my computer to Windows 98se - factory settings, except at the beginning of the recovery of the system, when it says "press any key for advanced options," I pressed a key and then I unchecked all the default (3rd party) applications including Norton and left only 2 checked: "Updated USB Hub" and "Windows Shutdown Supplement," while nothing has been installed, leaving only win98.
Then I used my disc XP Home (SP2) update. I, immediately after the upgrade to Windows XP, installed "Office XP with Frontpage, Developer Edition", then Norton 2012 before never connect to the internet.
Then, I connected to the internet and continuously update of Norton, before ever hitting the Windows Update page. The first thing I did then was to activate Windows, and then activate the office.
Then I hit the update of Windows "button" that says "get all your updates in one place... upgraded"Microsoft Update". I, then, just kept hitting the page update and restart, until I find the SP3. Then, I took a break, until the next day.
I have an ADSL broadband, with a Linksys EtherFast PCI card.
Then I got SP3, which installed without any problems.
So I just kept "microsoft continuous update" manually (and reboot), until there is no more updates - EXCEPT, I always uncheck Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - which was the only screening at the final stop for the night. I think that I ticked the box "don't ask me about this update".
Then, in the morning, after you have enabled automatic updates, I noticed the yellow shield - Windows security icon (or whatever it's called), so I clicked on it and checked it was tellimg me was available [when I checked "Custom Install (advanced users)"]. What showed was 1 update - 955759 KB.
After the problem, already at the reformat (months and months), see the yellow shield telling me there are updates available, which were already installed (before rebooting), I checked manually on the internet with IE 8, pressing alt, "T", "U". There is no updated list. Then I checked through my history of update (twice), and KB955759 had not been installed.
My update setting is to let windows download ('important') updates, but let me choose when to install them.
What is the right - Windows Update (NO update important reporting) Site, or the yellow shield (reports [a] kb955759 [update])?
I can not yet confirm he is supposed to be an update for XP home kb955759, because I was unable to locate any detailed documentation on this 'thing' that protect the yellow safety seems to think is a significant update.Comment 1: To my rquest, a moderator merged your thread in the Sub-forum Win7 updates with your wire in the Sub-forum of updates of Windows XP 20 Feb-12, c. 07:50 UTC.
Comment 2: If you will not contact the MS Support on this issue?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just for the heck of it, I have disabled the automatic updates, cleared my browser cache, checked manually, updates from microsoft (windows) and found none (with the exception of software malware removal tool windows [which I have not installed]). Then, I turned the automatic updates on, and without even being connected to the internet, the yellow shield popped up with the kb955759 "update"...
Repost...
1. If you open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and run a CUSTOM scan, KB955759 appears in results?... If so, you manage to install it and/or security updates available?
2 after no. 1 above [<>], is the 'yellow shield' icon appears in the Notification area (on the left of your clock)? .. and if yes, by clicking on the 'yellow shield' icon tells you that KB955759 or any other updates is ready-to-be-installed? .. .and if so, you manage to install it?
3 after doing 1 # & #2 above [<>], is KB955759 or any other updates offered as a ready-to-install update when you go off your computer? .. .and if so, you manage to install it?
... I guess that clearing the browser cache does not erase 'downloaded' updates.
Nope. If you want to clear the queue of the update...
OPTION A:
1. stop the automatic updates service:
Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
Double-click automatic updates > click stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)2 remove the contents of the download folder:
Start > run > (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > click OK
Open the download folder and delete its content
Close the window.3. start the automatic updates service:
Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
Double-click automatic updates > click Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)OPTION B:
1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [don't know the titles, etc..]
2. make disappear/close the Troubleshooter automatically pop up.
3 repaired 50202 in DEFAULT modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

It's no wonder that you ended up having to do a clean install of Win98SE & then upgrade to Windows XP again!

Windows 7 icons on the desktop and start changed to dat file
Original title: Windows 7 icons on the desktop and Start Menu problems
I am running Windows 7 Pro with service pack 1 and all the icons on the desktop Start Menu has changed into something that resembles a dat file and when you click on it, they are trying to run a download would be and asks where I want to save them. Symantec Endpoint, Microsoft Security Essentials, or AVG will find viruses or problems with the computer. I spoke with the technology of Windows and he sent me the link to this page.
I've never seen anything like this.Hello
It can be disappointing when all the icons on the desktop and Menu start modified in a dat file. I understand the inconvenience.
You can try to rebuild the icon cache and check if it works properly.
Click Start, click Control Panel, and write in the box search folders options.
b. now, click on Folder Options to open and select folders and hidden files (dot).
c. open a Windows Explorer window.
d. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
e. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
f. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
g. close the window.
h. emptying the trash.
i. restart the computer.
j. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
NOTE: If for some reason, IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed, then you can just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
k. icon cache will be rebuilt.Hope it solves the problem. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

Unexpected icon on the desktop called Null0 and have no internet connectivity
my fathers partners last week computer has been infected by adware, which was easy enough to remove safely. But last night he told me his return (he thinks ebay.co.uk is at fault?). In any case, when I had a quick glance, there is an icon on the desktop, titled null0. # .rar, which he had never seen before. Brilliant orange white white outline of the letter X. The computer does not connect to the internet, unable to open the system restore and the pop ups are quite common. Anyone can shed light on what I can do? Also, there is little to no information around on the net to give me an overview of what this thing is and what is going on this machine.
