• Illustrator changed my Mac Desktop Icon color fonts :(

  When I left an Illustrator, he asked me if I wanted to use the chosen font of my color for my Mac Desktop Color fonts project! I made the mistake of clicking Yes!

  How can I change this back to the original and my favorite, black (from his new white, coming from my Illustrator project)?

  Thank you very much!

• Satellite L550 - square black on the desktop icons after upgrading to Windows 7

  Hi people.

  Don't know if Windows 7 has simplified our PC as Microsoft would have us believe. I spent the last two days trying to understand why my L550 has suddenly square black on my desktop icons.

  What happens after the installation of Microsoft, application of a software patch updates for a HP deskjet 5150 printer. To be honest, I'm more sure when this nuisance hits me.

  Resolution true color (32 bit) upward in color (16 bit) downgrade rid my icons of black squares. Should I therefore settle for a lower resolution when my laptop can do better? Any workaround yet?

  Thank you

  Hey, Mambo,

  What exactly are you installing if you visit the Windows Update page? Maybe you install a different display driver that isn't compatible with the graphics card.
  Check this box!

  Also, make sure that the new display on the site of Toshiba driver is installed.

  Is the software patch for your printer that is compatible with Windows 7?

• Windows 7 desktop icons move after reboot

  Hello world!

  This is the first time in my life (and I am 41) ask your question like this, windows product but I am already desperate with this annoying icon problem, and I consider myself an advanced PC user.

  I like to organize my desktop icons (and I have a lot) in my own way everywhere in the desktop for my comfort and until a few days ago they still reappeard on the same place where I put them after the restart or shutdown.

  A few days ago, I bought a new TV (LG LCD 80 cm) with a HDMI input and connect with my Nvidia GeForce 9400GT via a graphics card HDMI 10 m long hi-speed and turn on my PC. During the time of startup, I chose Windows 7 (either by the way, I have 3 OS-es on a HARD drive on separate partitions 3: WinXPpro Win7pro 64 bit, Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit) and when the loggin screen should appeard there was only white screen on my primary monitor, ACER A221HQ (22 "), connected by VGA cable. I couldn't even logg in Windows until it hits me, I better turn on the TV as well and BINGO, my loggin screen was on TV and not on my screen. Then I try to set my screen as main screen to be invited to have the obsolete Nvidia graphics card driver and I need to download the latest version. Is not not lazy i made cela, open the Nvidia Control Panel and set both views to clone fashion but the TV is to be marked as 1 (primary) and 2 (secondary) monitor and there is no option to manually set monitor as display a (primary).

  After that whenever I boot windows 7, that the desktop icons move to the left side of the screen little matter what I do in the menu desktop options.

  I guess this happens because windows now think my TV is the main display, not the monitor and send it so the Office on television to see that is turned off and then sends it to the screen, but with desktop icons rearranged for a stupid reason because I put resolutions on both screens to their native 1920 x 1080 resolution / 32 bit color / 60 Hz.

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I tried to install this 3rd party software to save the position of the desktop icon, but it didn't work, I uninstall.

  Also this problem appears only on Windows 7, Windows XP have no problem at all, nor Ubuntu 11.04.

  Thanx.

  (Sorry for the grammatical errors, but English is not my native language)

  I'm sure you're right about the why behind it all, and I don't have an immediate solution.  However, I recommend a program of a company that has done a lot to work with and licensed a lot of Microsoft software.  It's an arrangement program called desktop icon by StarDock fences.  It might suit your needs.
