• Fuzzy screen, large desktop icons, funny colours something to do with NVIDIA GeForce 8300?

  One day last week when my computer loaded the color came all blurry on the screen and the desktop icons are also very big. I am running Windows Vista and I have an e-machine E4264. I tried to go into the settings and change the resolution, etc. for the screen, such as recommended, but it makes no difference. I also did a re-store to a point when the computer worked well, which was also recommended. I ran a diagnostic thing and and the following things came.

  Problems encountered:

  * NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS does not work properly

  Windows has detected a problem with the NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS

  * Hardware changes have not been detected.

  What is this problem and how can I solve it? Someone talk about form PC World to make a re - store throughout the system and try to reinstall windows again so it goes back to the original way it was when it was purchased.

  I've been on the NVIDIA site and have installed the new version of the driver he recommended, but it has not worked. The screen has been like this for about 4 days now. Sometimes, when I load the computer is good, but most of the day I can't use it because of this problem.

  Can anyone please help me or give me advice on this problem?

  If updating the drivers did not work then the video card is probably a failure. The next step in troubleshooting is to uninstall, shut down the computer, install a known-working video card, install its drivers and see if things are getting better. If they are, the original video card must be replaced.

  On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

• All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop

  I created several icons on Desktop 4 computers after installing clean computers with Windows 7 Profession (whether with the 32-bit or 64-bit). After a few days, some of the desktop icons disappear. However, when I click on the toolbar of office at the bottom of the Windows desktop, icons that disappeared from the Office were always present and available in the list of desktop toolbar. I've seen many users have the same problem on the Internet but no solution to the problem. Any suggestion for the fix.

  Hi guys,.

  I found the cause of her mysteriously disappear from the Windows 7 desktop icons and the reason why the Show Desktop icons now and then get UN-ticked.

  INFRARECORDER is! Try for yourself, when you start Infrarecorder and close the bottle, go take a look at 'See the desktop icons', it is not checked (but the icons are still there). Check it on again and start Infrarecorder... He is not checked again.

  This Windows 7 "bug" is irritating for me since the beginning and now I found the cause: it is Infrarecorder that causes this problem.

  Test it and please let me know and spread the word :-)

  Hi AnnEdelstein,
   
  To resolve this problem, install the latest version of the video card driver.
  Contact your video hardware manufacturer to find out how to obtain and install the latest version of the video driver for your video device.

• My of .exe desktop icons are now. Can ink file, anyone help to get rid of it?

  Hello

  I started a game in the start menu, but he asked the program where to open.
  I chose the right .exe
  Then, all the desktop icons that are .exe are now. Of ink file and opens with this game, and then the error flashes that it cannot be opened.
  I use Windows 7 64-bit.
  From what you have stated above, I think that the file association for LNK files has been given misdirection to the MyGame.exe. I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selecting the MyGame.exe (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in MyGame.exe as it should.

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the Explorer will want to be opened by MyGame.exe and use icon MyGame.exe to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unAssoc for its ease of use. I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on my SkyDrive here.

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

• PSE12 - I lost my desktop icon when I tried to move to the gutter. Now I can't find how to start the program.

  The useful suggestion only so far is to uninstall PSE12 and reload it. However, I bought this package as a downloadable copy and I don't have an original disc. Because I have now recorded copy, will be - this PSE refuse to allow a second attempt to sign? See you soon

  Hi Ned

  A.... With the help of your response and assistance from Adobe, my query has been resolved. Help Adobe's response is that, with the PSE, reset the validation is done automatically when the program is uninstalled. I just deleted the previously created desktop icons. Please see excerpt of conversation Chat Adobe below.

  1. Adobe: uninstall and turn off are the same in PSE
  2. Dave_t_9: Wow! I didn't know that! So if I have problems loading, I can try to load several times on the same machine, providing I have uninstall between each attempt?
  3. Adobe: That is absolutely correct.
