  • My Windows 7 desktop icons will be a small box around them, the box is white and has perforated lines. Not a big deal, all simply boring.

    My Windows 7 desktop icons will be a small box around them, the box is white and has perforated lines.  Not a big deal, all simply boring.  It is usually around the last icon I used.  But sometimes randomly will appear around, most frequently the trash.

    Have you tried to go to customize and change your theme?  Maybe redefine things will help the issue.  You can also try re - install (or looking for a newer version of) your graphics card driver.  You can normally find this by going to the manufacturer of your computer site, click Help, and then by entering your model number.

  • Impossible to change the screen resolution and icons willing I would like.

    I had problems with vista periodically change the resolution of the screen but still have just changed the resolution to what I want.  I see that there are complaints about this problem with Dell and HP computers.  I have a gateway so the problem is not with the manufacturer of the computer.

    Now, the resolution has been changed and I can't move the icons for I wish it.  If I increase the resolution, all the icons are arranged on the left side of the screen and will not go.  What happened to cause this and how can I fix this problem?
