• I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous

  Original title: Windows 7

  I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?

  Hello

  Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!

  But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video.  You should know that you got.  Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see.  This will bring you into the display properties.  Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance .  Now, click on the adapter on the top.  Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.

  You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.

  I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.

  Kind regards

• System and the desktop icons disappear

  Running own Win7 64 bit home edition, no problem for months and now my desktop icons and system have disappeared.  I'm the administrator on the system, but have more rights to enable or disable the system icons, programs 'research' scan is no longer the PC, it goes directly to a google search engine.  Help, please!

  I had shortcuts to programs disappear from the Office a few times of system.
  Computer
  Control Panel
  Programs of devices &
  and 3 MS games (Freecell, Solitaire, Mahjong)
   
  So now, I keep a copy of these shortcuts in another folder on the desktop, so they can be replaced quickly.
   
  It seems to be connected to this...
  "If you create shortcuts from desktop to removable storage locations such as NAS icons will disappear from time to time because Windows 7 has a built in scheduling the task to clean up unused or broken links.

  To prevent the currently running task you must disable the task in the Task Scheduler: Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Task Scheduler
  Expand the tree in the left pane until you get to the Task Scheduler Library-Microsoft-Windows-diagnosis.
  In the right pane, right-click the named scheduled task and click on disable. »

  Hello

  I'd say a repair of Windows XP merely to ensure that any content viral/malicious installation has been removed completely.  In addition, you can create a user account replacing a check if you are still having this problem.  Most probably this account knows still some question.  Preferred methods are to perform a repair installation or a new installation of Windows.  I hope that this information is beneficial.

  Thank you

• Control Panel icons and the desktop icons are all frozen. The system is Windows Vista + office computer HP

  Another forum for desktop icons frozen suggests will restore program, but I'm having trouble

  by following the instructions given. Any detailed instructions and suggestions - or any other solutions would be much

  appreciated!

  You are welcome; Sorry, it didn't fix it.

  It seems that by what you tell us it works OK in Mode safe as the system restore worked.

  Function icons open programs and run in a reasonable manner in Mode safe?

  Try this:

  Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  And here's how to go in Safe Mode options; Select safe mode with networking from the list of options:

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

  Here is information on improving the performance of MS, but it was not intended to fix the frozen icons!

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/optimize-Windows-Vista-for-better-performance

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  There are many things that could cause this type of problem.

  They may have installed more then an Antivirus, which is a no-no.

  If the worst happens, instead of scrapping, back up the data and reinstall Vista from the DVD or from the recovery partition.

  See you soon.

• HP Start Menu and the desktop icons for HP printer Diagnostic tools

  Hello world

  I have a HP Desktop F4440 all-in-one printer and I use the Windows XP operating system. I have all the scanning software and others installed from the original HP installation disk or updates from the HP Web site for this printer. Everything works very well at the moment, but there is a small problem. The HP icon shortcuts for the Menu start-up and functions for the printer changed to a generic icon at a time given to these two places after the software installation CD was used by me to install the printer programs or desktop icon HP to utilities "Diagnostic Tools HP printer" original. It works fine otherwise, when I want to go check something on the Tools of diagnosis HP printer or HP Solution Center, but the HP icon changed to a generic at a time for a reason unknown, inexplicable. I don't have no changes to my system until the problem occurred to my knowledge other casual upgrade for the operating system or install a new windows update or HP software updates or restart the computer, but some schooner point after one of these upgrades, HP put to date or restart the HP start menu and desktop icons time replaced by a generic.

  Can someone tell me how I can recover the original HP icon and get her back Amendment? It was an icon on the web since the HP printer Diagnostics utility or function is based on the web. Is there a way I can save a copy of just the file on my computer icon so that if it goes back to that generic again once I can more easily change what it is supposed to be? I thank very you much for your help and advice.

  Hi there yoseph13,

  What has happened to me too, but after a windows update. Half the icons on my desktop have been affected. I hope that this fix works for you as well. Right-click on the icon. Go to properties. Click Change icon. Select the icon and click ok then apply and ok again. If the icon does not appear, you will need to navigate to the folder of the software and select the application.

  Good luck!

• Internet Explorer hang ups and the desktop icons don't work

  I have a 32-bit Vista, which has worked perfectly for almost 4 years until yesterday. Freeze the icons on my desktop and internet explore cannot open any other web site, after having opened the first web site. Once you close the web site, and then try another icons do not work for short cuts. The taskbar remains functional. I have to go into the Task Manager to close Explorer which rest spinning means that it cannot open. I tried a system restore to two days ago and he said there is a mistake, and he couldn't change my settings. Then I went to windows defender under programs to view current programs and I found several programs window internet explorer running even though in Task Manager, they were removed. Once I erased these stars, the icons would work, but only for the first attempt. Then I went to the Windows Defender and 2-3 lines of windows internet explorer is numbered. Why is this happening? For every time that you access internet prgrams multiple of the same are running and then hang up the entire internet and shortcuts icon freezing. Help, please.

  Thank you

  Success!  All I had to do was reset internet explore windows. Fortunately, this did not clear all of my passwords or settings which I expected. The only change I noticed was the size of the screen. I had to change to fill the computer screen. I don't have to do a system restore.

  Thank you and thanks for your replies to bab66.
