  Try using a regular background with no photo and see if the problem goes away.  There may be a problem with the use of the images on the desktop and I want to exclude.

  Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

  You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should get updates for your video card and your monitor at least and all the others you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

  If the above does not work, there may be a hardware problem with your video card or your monitor (or maybe something else that these two are the most likely suspects) - but let's cross that bridge if we come to it.

  I hope this helps. Let me know (and don't forget to tell me what happened when you tried the above in your next reply).

  Good luck!

• Small white square on the left tab

  As you can see in this capture screen http://img543.imageshack.us/i/firefoxo.jpg/ I see a small white square on the right on the left tab and I don't know where it comes from.

  You use the FoxTab add-on? If so, disable it. I had the same small white square in the upper right corner of Firefox when I updated to version 4.0 beta, so I disabled my modules one by one to see that it was originally and it turned to be FoxTab. It does not jive well with Firefox 4.0.

• My desktop computer should be resized. It is too large to fit on the desktop.

  Original title: resizing Desktop

  My desktop computer should be resized. It is too large to fit on the desktop.

  I assume you mean the image displayed on your screen...

  Right-click anywhere on the desktop where there is no icon.  Choose the resolution of the screen.  Change the resolution to one that works for you.

  In the selections you can make, you are limited by the capacity of your video output capacity.

• White white icons on the desktop, bar of tasks & files

  So as the title says, most of my shortcut icons is turned to 'record' white icons by default. This happened after a certain program called Registry Booster crashed Mid-process. Uniblue support recommended to restore the backup of the registry of the RB itself or a system restore. I tried both and it does not solve the issue. (OS: Windows 7 Ultimate)

  Since then, I scoured the web for a solution and have tried the fixes suggested elsewhere. Among those who are the parameters manually, shortened reconstruction iconcache.db and using an integrated Windows spell bug (the name escapes me now), nothing is. I also tried an installation (well, 'upgrade' as they say now) repair of the BONE, which did nothing.

  To be more specific about the problem, all shortcuts pointing to files of application or files turn to 'white sheets', as seen here: http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/4510/screenztx.png trash icon is normal for any reason whatsoever, and all shortcuts pointing to a file (for example, .pdf or .mp3) also look good. To be clear, all of the shortcuts function , it's just the appearance which is buggy.

  It seems that the fault must lie somewhere in the registry, but I'm not familiar enough with it to know where exactly. So if someone could suggest one alternative other than wiping the drive clean (I don't have a handy external HD, so I'm not looking forward to burning 20 DVDs for all of my files...), it would be greatly appreciated :)

  Reconstruction IconCache.db worked for me, if I stop the first Explorer (it did not for me if I don't): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/d5efec0c-e967-4127-b217-15da34d7fb00/icon-problem-in-windows-7?forum=w7itproui

  Here are the steps that I followed this post:

  Open an Admin high cmd prompt and paste these 4 lines in one at a time:

  • Taskkill /IM explorer.exe/f
  • CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
  • DEL /a IconCache.db
  • Shutdown /r

• Black-violet gradient - white get in the way - HELP!

  Hi, I use illustrator cs3 and Ive chosen a linear gradient purple black and black graduated in white and then go to purple, whereas I want him to be the right black to purple. What can I do? Thank you, Adam

  This happens when you mix a flat black (100 %K) in a different color. Try

  a rich black mixture (try C60, M50, Y30, K95 for example). The transition

  will be a smoother, richer color.

• SQL + reel, white space in the columns, help.

  Hi all.
  
  I use SQL on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0
  
  I have a massive script that I am wanting to wrap the output to a text file.
  
  I have more than 600 columns and the script is like:
  
  set the position
  trigger the echo
  Set feedback off
  set verify off
  Set serveroutput off
  termout off Set
  Set trimout on
  Set trimspool on
  tab set to
  NewPage 0 value
  set space 0
  set linesize 6251
  set pagesize 0
  the null value 0
  define array 1000
  the value of colsep |
  coil c:\[filename].txt
  Select / * + parallel (table 4) * /.
  col1,
  col2,
  col3,
  COL4,
  col5,
  col6,
  col7,
  COL8,
  col9,
  col10,
  Col11,
  col12... etc.
  
  My output looks like:
  
  99990001 | + {space} + 2003 | 0 + {space} + | 0 + {space} + | + {space of} + 1 | 0 + {space} + | 0 + {space} + | 0 {space}. 0 + {space} + | 0 + {space} + | 0 + {space} + | 0 + {space} + | 0 etc
  
  When I need to look like:
  
  99990001 | 2003 | 0 | 0 | 1. 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0... etc.
  
  I can't concatinate columns as this would force the SET NULL option won't do not and using NVL for each column makes the query take too much time.
  
  a post on this thread Re: save output sql command separate values by the States that you cannot force coil of sql to remove spaces, is it true?
  
  all threads in this research http://forums.oracle.com/forums/search.jspa?threadID= & q = colsep & objID = c84 & dateRange = last90days & userID = & numResults = 15 lead me to believe that it is also not possible.
  
  The coil may not have gaps as it is used by some sort of contraption of system before my time to really understand and I said that it's just not having them.
  
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I think that concatenating your columns with NVL(col1,0) will be your only option. In addition, it didn't really the request that much more time.

• Small blue square box flashing in the middle of the desktop computer

  Original title: I have a small blue square flashing in the middle of my monitor that holds a white lock inside and I can't get rid of him... any suggerstions?

  I have a 11/2 inch with a lock blue square white inside on my screen and I peut-not get rid of her, shows up at first upward and monitor stays on the computer so no matter where I go or what I do, any suggestions?

  Hi Frankie Barkere,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. don't see no message in the box square on the desktop?

  Method 1

  Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode

  Method 2

  If the problem does not persist in safe mode then he isa possibility that some third-party programs installed on the computer is the origin of the problem in normal mode. I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista 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 troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  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.

• small images in the icon on the desktop

  Sometimes when I create a shortcut on my desktop shows a white square with upper right corner folded down, but the real image of the shortcut is very low. For example: my icon for g-mail is a small envelope framed in red and my bing is a small orange square with a white b in it, but neither one is a full icon. They are inside the white square.

  The size of the area corresponding to the icon on the desktop is fine. A small image is sometimes found inside the white square.  The icon is 1/2 inch to 1/2 in., but the real picture is nch 1/4 by 1/4 of an inch.

  Is there a solution to this problem or am I stuck with an another inconvenience of Vista?
