    Hi Frankie Barkere,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. don't see no message in the box square on the desktop?

    Method 1

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    Method 2

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode then he isa possibility that some third-party programs installed on the computer is the origin of the problem in normal mode. I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista 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.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    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.

    I hope this helps!

  • Icon audio SigmaTel (blue square) does not.

    original title: SigmaTel audio icon (blue square) does not. I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and the blue square with white bars no longer appears. I get a white square with very fine blue points.

    I tried to update the driver but it still does not work.

    I just want to know how I can fix the problem and keep the icon (blue square with white bars) appear again.

    Thanks in advance...

    You'll need to re-post giving your PC/Laptop, model name brand and exact model number.

    Or go to the manufacturer's Web site, locate the download page for her and, to install the specific audio drivers for W7.
    If there is none, download and install the Vista drivers in compatibility mode. You may (or may not) get a certain amount of nombreauses.
    See you soon,.

  • Blue Centro square icon with up and down arrows

    When I'm in the mode 'phone' I see an icon at the top of my screen which shows a blue square with arrows up and down in it. I have looked in the manual forums and online, but can't find anything on this icon. I see pictures of her in the manual but no description. I'm just afraid it indicates that something is connected which could be draining my battery because I have to charge my phone every three or four days, even though I never text, never access to the web, never IM and I only use the feature phone about five times a week. Yes, it is true, as I do about five calls a week. I get a lot of calls, but rarely answer if I does not recognize that the numbers so maybe calls could be draining the battery.

    Anyway, my main question is not my battery life but this confused icon.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    This means that blue square connected standby mode and without means active transference in this data connection

  • Blue square with a question mark instead of a picture

    I'm on Messages to use with your Mac - Apple Support.

    Instead of pictures (or), I get a blue square with a question mark in it.

    This does not happen with all Web sites, but I wonder why it's happening with an Apple site, and how I can see the photos.

    It sounds like a broken image link.

    Post a screenshot if you can, so that we can confirm. The page seems OK after a glance. Command + shift + 4 then do slide on the affected area, add the image to the desktop to this site via the camera icon.

    If you have browser extensions, disable them and repeat the test. Also try a different web browser if possible to see if it is the scale of the system or only Safari. Is - this Safari you use?

  • That means a green square average is activated? Also: "> >" in the blue square?

    Small icons attached to the largest - sometimes - on the desktop.

    Hello

    You have Norton installed? Because this may explain it. See also here:
    http://www.Winhelponline.com/blog/green-tick-or-blue-arrows-icon-overlay-displayed-for-files-in-Windows-Explorer/

    It is caused by the feature of Norton backup status indicator. You can uncheck this (see the screenshot in link above) If you do not want this.

    I hope this helps.

  • Icons for .docx files are rectangles with black lines on the inside

    I recently increased the size of the font on my computer for the icons (via the Customize option in the context menu in the office) one size higher (I think it's 10 now). I don't know if it's related, but now when I see the .docx files on my desktop and in folders in my documents instead of a rectangle with blue lines and a blue w, score in the corner, I see is a rectangle with a large number of black lines. It's not what I'm used to, and it's distracting. When I make the folders in my documents score show list view or small icons, I think the traditional icon. But when I do the plus icon (either medium or large size), I get this black rectangle. I don't know if Windows tries to give me a thumbnail of the file (or the first page of it) or not, but I'd rather widely by the icon traditional .docx.

    How can I get that back?

    I use Office 2010 on Windows 7.

    I agree, it sounds like it is trying to display a thumbnail.  To turn off power, click on organize up to left and go in options of records, then on the display, the first box tab, according to me, must "always show icons, not thumbnails.

    Unfortunately it also means that you will not see your thumbnails of photo either, just an endless sea of identical icons to 'image file '.

    You can also delete the thumbnail of the file itself.  Open the file in Word, choose "Save as" and uncheck the "save thumbnail" option until you press save (and confirm the replacement of the same file, save on top of itself with the non-thumbnail version).
