  • Large icons at startup - Windows 7 Professional

    Can someone please tell me why, at startup that my icons are suddenly HUGE I restart and they return to the normal size I had put them in the first place. I know that I can come in and change the size of my icons, but in this case, I have not touched the size.

    Initially I went into the control panel and display, but it does not work, it just upset everything.

    Thank you very much


    Hi ScousePen,

    -Since when have you had the problem?

    Follow the steps below:

    Method 1:

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode, the next troubleshooting would be to start the computer in a clean boot state and identify the problem causing third-party program.

    Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:

    Create a new user account and check if the problem is recurring in the newly created account.

    If the problem does not persist in the new user account, it could indicate that your old user account is corrupted.

    Access the link below and follow the steps to repair the corrupted user profile:

  • Pavilion dv2: how we prevent auto arrange icons at startup

    Whenever I have bootup, my icons are arranged on the left side of the screen.  I have for my taste, but the next time they are back on the left.  Auto Arrange (rt - clk Office > view) is not checked, but it seems not to matter.

    No problem. I had this back on win xp and found a small program that does the trick. Backup/restore the Desktop is a mouse menu option that allows you to place icons anywhere where you want, and then save the configuration. A simple restore if it ever became evil aligned, it gets back. Jamie O'Connell is the owner. Download w8.1 here:

    I'm just amazed myself that I even made myself, the option I chose was

    FULL WINDOWS PC RESTORE

    (I hope I get these details just like I fixed it just last night)

    throughout these updates, it always reminds you have the power cord plugged in and not to turn off the laptop.

    first of all it is then checked for a backup which was not one, so then then it restarted and began to

    start installing the updates that was around 64 to nearly 70 of them if I remember I thought crazy it

    has taken an eternity.

    following it then restarted and installed a reconfiguration 3 updates to re configure the hard disk, which he did not (this may just happen on my laptop)... and then it restarted and installed 3 updates 3 of 3 to 100% with each.

    and after restarting my personal profile came on windows vista family premium, I entered my password and its opening! ... I was amazed!

    but to test the problem I did a reboot with power cable attached to the phone, he was fine. then a stop down and turn on without power cable, always very well.

    I'm now writing this online with my laptop :-). . I hope it stays like that.

  • IOS build fails

    I am rebuilding an IOS app which contained deprecated plugins so I tried to update.

    But when build.phonegap.com Gets the thread it returns the following error:

    Error - the following 3rd-party plugin causes the generation fails and may need to be updated to a newer version: Cordoba-plugin-inappbrowser

    I updated this plugin to the 1.4.0 version which seems to be the latest version available.

    Here is a list of plugins that I installed. I use all of them.

    Cordova-plugin-battery-status 1.1.2 "battery."

    Cordova-plugin - 2.1.1 'camera '.

    Cordova-plugin-compat 1.0.0 "Compat".

    Cordova-1.0.3 plugin-console "Console".

    Cordova-2.0.1 plugin-contacts 'Contacts'

    1.1.2 Cordova-plugin-device 'Device '.

    Cordova-plugin-device-motion 1.2.1 "device Motion."

    Cordova-plugin-device-focus 1.0.3 'device Orientation.

    Cordova-plugin-dialogues 1.2.1 'Notification '.

    Cordova-4.1.1 plugin-file 'file '.

    Cordova-plugin-1.5.1 file transfer 'file transfer '.

    Cordova-plugin-geolocation 2.2.0 "Geolocation".

    Cordova-1.0.3 plugin-globalization "globalization".

    Cordova-plugin-media-capture 1.2.0 "captures".

    Cordova-plugin-network-information 1.2.1 "information network".

    Cordova-plugin-splashscreen 3.2.2 "Splashscreen.

    Cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.1.3 "StatusBar".

    Cordova-plugin-vibration 2.1.1 "Vibration".

    Cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.2.2 "Whitelist".

    What could be the problem?

    The format of the config.xml reflects the style from an earlier version. My recommendation would be to restore it with the new syntax. See Configuration of | PhoneGap Docs

    For example, the tag feature has been deprecated and style is removed gradually as well. You will need to provide additional icons and startup for a valid application screens store memories.

    There is also no screen element 'default' splash, so that can be removed.

  • startup, icons are missing in the menu bar

    After installing startup ElCapitan, icons are missing from the menu bar. There are empty spaces where start icons should be. Basically the icons are there but they are invisible.

    Be specific, or better yet show a screenshot where you expect to see the icons (you can use the application overview use the arrows to point to areas) and let us know exactly which apps you expect to see.

    Also, make sure that the apps that you expect to see are supposed to work in El Capitan!
