• 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.

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  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.

• HP 8600 info in Win 7 has limited access, not all icons are displayed.

  Tonight, HP has delivered my new Officejet Pro 8600.  Win 7 Home Premium install went perfect, everything is set up fine on my wireless network.  Or so I thought.  I did some research and found that the Solutions Center HP that I used for a long time on my 5610xi is not applicable to the 8600.  Disappointment, but I can deal with it.  After installation, I click on the printer on the desktop icon and a new window opens showing the printer in albums then 4 options:

  1 HP Printer Wizard

  2. setting preferences

  3 see what's printing

  4. customize your printer

  My first problem started when I clicked several times the "HP printer Assistant" and nothing happens.  Never.  Then I got REALLY irritated when I made the same installation on my laptop ASUS son and when clicking on the printer icon, a whole bunch of additional options appears, as in the old Center of Solutions.  Well, after many cycles of uninstall/install, nothing has changed.

  So my questions are the following:

  1. why the installation on the laptop gives more options (the options I want)?

  2. why "The HP printer Assistant" does nothing?

  To be clear, the printer works great and I love it.  Just a little frustrated on these issues.

  FYI, I am running Win 7 64 - bit Home Prem on each computer and all PC updates are up-to-date.  The laptop is a brand new (3 months) and the office is about 1.5 years, but running a high end processor, 16 GB of RAM.  Installation 8600 has been made from the CD supplied with the printer.  I tried one online and he brought a window similar to the one showing on the laptop, but with even more options.  The problem with this one is that it took an ETERNITY every time what you clicked on it then I reinstalled from the CD.

  I'm not completely sure why he is slow. Your computer is not the issue. I have the exact same software installed on a much lower end machine running Windows 7 64 bit and it works fine for me. How long have you since you have run a clean and optimized your system? If it has been a while, you could try to do this. I use Advanced System Care 6 free IOBit edition to keep my system cleaned and operates at full power. You may have ink alerts defined "Always" and change the setting "only when I print.» I would add a link that guides you through to change that. The link is for XP, but the steps are pretty much the same on any Windows operating system. I'll see if there is anything else I can find that could be the cause of this. Let me know what happens.

• All icons are empty, menu start does not open.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit

  All my icons have been wasted, for example the shortcut arrows resembled recycle bins. I was advised to use a Reconstructor IconCache.db (which deletes the file so it can be recreated at startup). However, it seems as IconCache.db don't will not recreate. I tried to make a blank IconCache.db file and even use another from an installation of Windows Vista, but the problem persisted.
  I tried various .reg files and fact ' sfc/scannow ' and the problem persists.
  Cannot find the IconCache.db file in % userprofile%\AppData\Local, despite the fact that all hidden files are displayed. The problem persists in safe mode, as well as in other accounts/user profiles.

  Thank you

  I have no problem at the opening of the shortcuts, they open fine.

  However, after 2 days, I managed to come up with my own difficulty.
  * Requires *: Windows 7 installation disc, 7-zip

  * Place your windows installation disc into your CD drive.

  * Open from my computer

  * Go in the * sources folder

  * Using 7 - Zip, right click on * install.wim* and open

  Archives.

  * Either the 3 folder (if the Home Premium). If you don't, go ahead

  * In 7 - Zip, click on the users folder, then Administrator > AppData > Local

  * Extract IconCache.db in the folder **%userprofile%\AppData\Local\** to your PC

  * If you don't see any effect yet, or kill explorer.exe and restart, log and turn off or restart the PC.

• My battery icon is flashing blue to Orange quickly even if the computer is connected to the power supply

  Battery problem

  Dear friends,

  My battery icon is flashing blue to Orange quickly even if the computer is connected to Power.What mean?

  This means that my battery is dead and not load? If Yes... will be the work of the computer until I repalce the battery? And is it safe to use the computer in this mode?

  Hello

  Check with support from the manufacturer of their books online and the drivers and their forums system
  (as applicable) for known issues. Some manufacturer issued BIOS and other updates to help the battery
  problems.

  Control Panel control - plan change Options - power plans - power - advanced settings
  Parameters for the drainage and the use of parameters (this is how much to use and not how much or how)
  long to load).

  In fact, what causes a lot of wear on a battery empties it too low on several occasions. With today
  systems overload are not a problem.

  Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

  Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
  eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
  them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
  Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

  New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
  However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
  When this is possible.

  I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click on the green button on the
  Yellow box on the right side of the page to download the latest stable version.
