Desktop screen changes every week!

My Windows Vista desktop screen has a mind of its own! He changes his appearance without notice. The taskbar, start button, etc... does not move and the screen will get more small with dark borders and sometimes all the screen goes black, but the icons always appear. I usually go to the system restore to get it back, but now, this does not seem to solve the problem.

  • Laptop HP pavilion 17-f115dx: start window and desktop screen

    The problem is the flashes of desktop screen between a blank blue screen with a task bar and a desktop at startup screen. My splash screen comes first, and no problem until I find myself on the desktop, then it flashes between other screens and also the splash screen. I have to control alt delete to close.

    I found the solution on another thread-

    1. press CTRL Alt Delete

    2. go in Task Manager

    3. go to the Services tab

    4. look to the bottom of the window, and then click Open Services

    5. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service

    6. right click and select Properties

    7. go in Startup Type and change to disabled

    8. click on apply, and then click OK

    The flashing should stop immediately

    Alternative route:

    1. press CTRL Alt Delete

    2. go in Task Manager

    3. Select the file--> a new task

    4. type msconfig, then click ok

    5. Select the Services tab

    6. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service & uncheck

    7. click on apply, and then click OK

    8 restart your computer & when you connect the flashing should be gone

    The first set of directions worked for me, but someone else did the second set because they couldn't do the first.

  • Screen refreshes every few seconds

    Computer model: HP Pavilion e040us 17

    Product: EOJ89UA #ABA

    Windows 8 (not 8.1)

    My wife left her cell open and when she came back, she was asleep.  She tried it to wake up (hit the wrong key), got frustrated and held down the power button to turn off.  She doesn't think that updates have been applied since the screen was black

    Now, once it is started, it can use one of the applications 'tiled' who do not use the desktop computer.  Once the office is open, the screen refreshes every few seconds.  The entire desktop goes blue, the desktop icons and background image disappear, and everything disappears from the system tray.  The system tray starts to rebuilds with the battery indicator, indicator of network, "speaker" icon, date & time, then all the rest of the system tray is back with the office (background image and all the icons).  In about 1 or 2 seconds, the cycle starts all over again.  I left the laptop that works thinking that something just needs to work to stand, but two hours later, it was still there.

    If I press the windows key enough times, he swaps ends up back in the tile view, and then he begins to paint it too.  The screen goes blue and then everything comes back.

    While this is the case, the only way to get the stop menu is ctrl + alt + delete.  Moving the mouse to the bottom right of the screen to bring up the menu of the settings does not work because the screen refreshes faster that you can click on the settings button.

    I restart the computer in safe mode and it didn't happen.

    I'm stumpped and really need help!

    Mark

    Hi, Mark.
    I don't know if this will help, but for me, I used system refresh to restore my laptop to factory settings (but keep my documents) and the problem seemed to go away. Partially, I think it was because I was running Classic Shell for Windows 8.0 rather my 8.1 - Although may not be the problem, refresh the laptop seemed to work!

  • Wallpapers flashes a blue screen with a desktop screen

    Product: HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 t-j000 Select Edition CTO Notebook PC, model C9G48AAR, product number: C8P45AV
    Problem: Once connected, the screen flashes start screen randomly and does not respond to any input.
    Effort: We followed the instructions on the HP web site for this symptom (desktop screen will Flash between a blank blue screen with a task bar and a desktop on startup (Windows 8) computer screen), but it failed at step 8 - start screen flashes in Mode safe mode with no way to find or enter step "Control Panel." We have also restored the system to the last restore point, reinstall the memory and reset the BIOS - all the HP recommended processes for video problems.
    Current situation: we have yet to solve problems via the web HP site first; This has left us speechless. We went to the "Contact HP" to discuss with the service agent, but discovered that our warranty expired a week ago. We were directed to the help forum. The laptop is my son and is used for his college course. We need to help, you can provide as quickly as possible. Thank you!

    I have advanced and complete steps 8-14 in the correction procedure from HP, including the center of the Action to "never check solutions" are reduced to problem reports. Then we went ahead and made the Microsoft Updates that were pending since we had it restored to a previous restore point. So far so good! The flashing screen problem is not returned. Until that Microsoft published a fix for this problem, I think that bypass it HP will keep us to leave. Thank you!

    Could I ask a favor? A HP contact named Mason was initially to help us with this problem, but all attmepts to repsond to his e-mails ended in a failure to deliver ("Diagnostic - code 554).

    Hi DianeCosic,

    What operating system or version of Windows do you use?

    We would need to know that in order to help you better.  If you still see the desktop and My Documents on your Start menu, you should be able to recreate the shortcuts by right-clicking on them from there.

    In addition, if something has changed on your computer, you can do a system restore to a previous point before the show began.

    Please, let us know if we can help you.

    Thank you!

  • game full screen minimized every time someone instant me message via msn messenger and other pop-up alerts

    Currently I play warcraft 3 frozenthrone. It happens that someone instant me message. not necessarily the person who played with me. I'm not sure about the version, but should be the same that I do not have day msn live messenger. When a message snapshot person me while I play full screen, my game will get minimize and go to desktop screen [the screen where you will see the icons and wallpapers on the desktop].

  • Desktop screen moved down

    My desktop screen moved down and now he's partially hiding my taskbar and I have an empty space at the top of the screen. It's on any screen located to the top. How can I move the screen to the top. By clicking on it and try to drag does nothing.

    From what you describe, all that is needed perhaps a minor change of a parameter.

    Some monitors/LCDs have the ability to move the entire screen to the right, left, up, left - all sorts of directions. See the documentation for your monitor/LCD what to do. Probably, the adjustment controls are located at the front, below the bottom half of the monitor / LCD, near the base.

    Hope this helps

  • While to my desktop screen; the error on blue screen appeared... STOP: Ox0000000c5 (Ox00000002, Ox00000001, Ox00000004, Ox805515A1)

    Original title: in my desktop screen. the BSOD appeared...

    Hello everyone,

    While to my desktop screen (don't remember if I was doing anything however), the BSOD appears, indicating the system stopped to avoid any damage occurs.

    The following was then shown (exactly as you see):

    STOP: Ox0000000c5 (Ox00000002, Ox00000001, Ox00000004, Ox805515A1)

    Then a memory dump has been launched.

    The only way to get rid of the blue screen was to unplug the computer from the power source, then turn it back on.  After reboot, "error reporting box" appears asking if I wanted to report this error to Microsoft I did), then closed the box.  Almost immediately after, the computer I connected to the Internet to a site that says "Microsoft error report" in the upper left corner of the screen.

    Then, there was some additional information about the page displayed on some system functions in my computer does not.  I was directed to click on a link to the so-called "Roxio...?  & then asked to download, "Pxengine 4_18_16A.exe(Provided by Sonic Solutions, version 1.13.37.0, created on 20/07/2009).

    This is now a 5th time a blue screen appeared during 5 days.  This time, the only difference is in the codes and being redirected to the page described above to download something I've never heard of and have no idea of what it is supposed to do.

    I would appreciate any information that someone has just what it is.  I'm simply puzzled.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    2 do you have software Roxio installed on the computer? If so, then Uninstall the software and check.

    You can also check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.
