My screen is so dark, that I see only the icons by using a flashlight!
When my mother started her cell phone this morning, the screen came very dark and I can hardly do anything on the screen. I tested with different settings and colors and brightness change, but not physically, I can't see anything without using a flashlight. It's as if the backlight went dim or something.
She uses a Dell Inspiron with Windows Vista. I'm not aware of any other characteristic that is not my computer. Please do not hesitate to ask questions and I will do my best to answer or find the answers.
Please help make my life easier and help me fix his computer.
I think that you have diagnosed the problem yourself. It's the backlight or the inverter failed. You can check if the cables are loose and you will need to make to a repair shop to get the extract. The only practical way to check is to Exchange in well known components until the problem is located.
Here is part of a Dell Inspiron manual that shows the wiring:

Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon. If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.

I think I have a virus or a virus that I was invited then in a different line of pop ups for unwanted ads and many ads of anti-virus indicating that I had the virus. Last night my computer worked but when I turned on the screen shows my windows option then turns black with only the cursor visible. I can access the Task Manager by simultaneously pressing Ctrl-alt-delete, but I'm not too handy with computers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sandra
If you can open the Task Manager try to manually open the desktop computer
In the list of running tasks, type "explorer" (without the quotes) and run it.
Which starts the desktop computer?
If not boot in safe mode and try to load a restore point from before you had the problem.

Whenever I use Firefox the page so that I can see only the left half of the some site; that is half of the info useful page (the rest is cut) poster on the half right of my screen so that half left of my screen right bottom of the site. By using the maximize / restore does nothing. If I swap the display full screen, I see everything well, but of course I lose my toolbars. I installed the latest version of Firefox with no joy. I looked for a function of setting page nothing is done. I thought that time would fix it as it is something that has already happened, but was temporary. Other browsers work fine. I thought to uninstall then reinstall but I do not want to lose my favorites etc I don't have to. Thanks for your help in advance; I hope that this hike makes some sense.
See you soon.This problem may be caused by the extension of the toolbar of Babylon 1.1.8

How should I do to don't see only the tools-plan when I start Dc Acrobat?
How should I do to don't see only the tools-plan when I start Dc Acrobat?
Hey Peter,
If you use the player, then you can do the same thing in preferences as I mentioned above.
Or, if you have Acrobat, then you can hide the tool by key pane by pressing (SHIFT + F4), enable option 'Restore last view settings... ' under ' Edit > Preferences > Documents.
Close Acrobat and then relaunch it.
Kind regards

It worked fine before and then one day, I loaded firefox and now I see only 1 side unless I I use full screen, please can any1 help me
It seems that the left margin is medium to large, but I HAV already watched it and this isn't the problem and ive tried zooming in and out aswell and reset the zoom ect
It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and bars scrolling down.
Open the system menu via Alt + space and see if you can resize the window.
If it works then close Firefox (file > exit/Quit) to save the setting.See also:

I reinstalled Firefox and somehow, I lost all that I see is toolbars, tabs "Firefox" and a 'Firefox Start Page', butdon can't get the next line to enter the adresse_web.
I had a few other toolbars superfluous up there a deleted them.
I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, but the problem persists.
Press "Alt" then view > toolbars and tick any missing toolbar.
You can make Firefox 6.0.2 look to Firefox 3.6. *, see numbered items 1-10 of the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (make Firefox 4.0 to 8.0, resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.
It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
Please mark "resolved" a response that will better help others with a similar problem - hope it was her.

All black screen with a mouse that is visible on the Satellite
I have a toshiba satellite laptop 2 years old, and it works pretty well so far (battery replaced in July).
Yesterday, I was using it as usual, then close the lid and went for a shower.
20 minutes later, I came back, it works again, and he went to a black screen with a visible mouse.
However, none of the keys produce any response and the mouse not to slam.I tried several times it works and stop.
Twice he went to a white screen with all the icons of bottom bar of size reduced and grouped in the upper corner, as well as a few photos, that I had just downloaded.A few forums I saw answer other users have suggested using the vista disk to restart, but I'm on study abroad for a year in the United States and thus didn't drive.
In addition, these users reported a collision until it happened.I'll keep on at the current time to turn off in the hope that it will come back to life after a stop appropriate through loss of power.
I would be really grateful for any suggestions you can give me, thank you.
Hello
I put t know which model of laptop you have, but the first thing that you should try the new installation of the OS.
You don t have any installation disc that's pity
However, you can try to start Notepad using a Windows live CD.
This system is called BartPE or WinPE
Google for itThis don t systems must be installed on the HARD drive, it works like a linux live cd you boot using such a disc and a few sec later you get access to the HARD disk
I think it is good idea to check if the laptop is ok

When I paste a new layer into an existing one I see only the top layer of the screen.
How can I see each layer of the screen when I click on each layer in the layers palette? I can only see the top, and when I click on the bottom layer, it does not change.
Click the icons of the eye in your layers panel to toggle the power switch layers?

When you click the icon in the upper left screen, the only options I have are move, maximize, minimize and close.
It's the windows icon on the title bar that opens the system menu.
You see the button Firefox orange (gray Linux) if the menu bar is hidden (view > toolbars > customize or right click on a toolbar).
You can hide or make the bar of menus visible through view > toolbars or via Firefox > Options.
If you need access to the hidden menu bar press F10 or press the Alt key to display the menu temporarily bar.See also:
