  • Problem with desktop icons - odd images appearing

    Hello

    I recently acquired a laptop Asus N61Vg which of course came with a Windows 7 Home Premium OEM. After using for most laptops and Windows 7 settings, and after I got rid of the bloatware, I started to do some graphics cards and performance tests. While I was measuring a few FPS in Left 4 Dead (not a fan of the game, I just wanted to test the graphics card, an Nvidia 220 M), the game froze and I had to close it with the "end task".

    Subsequently, some of the desktop icons (some of them from the former programs) are displayed inside a frame, a very annoying. I tried fiddling with the usual settings and reinstall the graphics card driver. I even deleted the Cache icon (from my AppData folder) but the problem persists.

    Since I only used the system for a few days, I can imagine there is a registry entry that I've screwed to the top or a setting that I modified. So it is either very simple and puts me in a bad light or whole enough to annoy me. Any suggestions?

    Fixed!

    The problem is that most of the icons can only watch smoothly on a "small icons" view. I used the medium-sized icons. The game changed some of my settings, and resizing is affected. After some time switching between small - medium - large icons and reorganization, the problem went away, even after rebooting. I can't be sure, it will not resurface once again, but at least I can get rid of it if she didn't.

    In short: RMB-> view-> small icons. RMB-> view-> medium-sized icons. Reorganize, restart. The effect may still appear then do this a few times, eventually passing through large icons as well.

  • Problem with desktop icons

    A few times my icons are blurring.  Sometimes, some of them are missing.

    This time, I have 3 icons about 15.

    If I look into the records of all users desktop, all the icons are there.

    ????????

    Hey Amos888,

     

    Increase the size of your icon cache and see where it leads.

    If this cache is too small, the desktop icons may display incorrectly or show the wrong program icons.

    Step 1: Increase the size of the icon cache.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

    Back up the registry

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    1. go to start and type regedit.exe.

    2. navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer.

    3. now, create a DWORD value called Max Cached Icons and set the value to 4096.

    4. close the registry editor.

    5 restart the computer.

    If the problem continues, check if a third of service or application is causing this problem.

    Step 2: Perform the clean boot

     

    Study the behavior of the icons when the computer is in clean boot state.

    Refer to this article for more information on how to do it.

    Note: Ensure that you switch your computer to normal startup mode after completing the troubleshooting steps. Steps are available in the article above.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

    I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

    Hello

    The network error is gone I hope?

    You have to set up folders mirrored under sharing with OS X? (Menu-> Virtual Machine-> settings-> sharing-> mirrored folders). If you use mirrored folders there, then what happens if you turn off this feature to test and see?

    I don't use this feature myself, but imagine that allowing a case mirrored for Office could eventually hide something on the side of windows.

  • problems with my icons

    Most of my icons has been replaced with windows media center, can anyone help?

    It is possible that your icon Cache is corrupt.  If this is the case, then this should fix it:

    '' The icons randomly change to different icons. ''
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/132668 >

    Another possibility is that your file associations have become crazy.  Probably the best way to recover from this is to do a system restore to a point in time before you had this problem:

    "How to restore Windows XP to a previous state"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306084 >
    In many cases, restoring the system works better if you can start safe mode and then restore.

  • Photosmart HP 5510 - problem with the icon of the printer

    The icon of the printer that takes you to the Panel to choose print, scan, etc.  now keeps asking if I want to install a new printer... No. A use HP Print & Scan Doctor and on the analysis of test, everything is fine.  Try to start a new search icon and back to the drawing board.  I'm connected wireless and on Vista.  It makes me crazy.

    Someone at - it ideas or is it a matter of uninstall/redo with the disk I have?

    Thank you

    Annie

    I appreciate your ongoing efforts, I would like you to answer all of the steps listed here. Please do the steps listed, if you are still running into errors do NOT run everything as the PSDR printer utility. I think that the multiple uninstall and relocations are now causing a problem.  I understand that you already did uninstall it and reinstall by following the instructions, but I think we can try a different approach. Please post back and let me know the result and we can continue from there. See below:

    • Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
    • Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
    • The new software - uninstall the printer software Instructions
    • Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
    • Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
  • Problem with the icon reminder on the page with Acrobat Reader DC

    When I add a reminder to a PDF, I have two problems. One is that when I go to print the document with the comments, the position of the note of sticky notes on the printed page change where I placed it (I try to place the bottom of the projection arrow type down the text that I am to comment on). The second problem is that I can't change the size of the sticky note in the page. When I searched for solutions, I got the answer that I can resize by grabbing the bottom right or bottom left, but that has no effect on the size. I am relatively new to using sticky notes in DC, for any suggestions would be welcome.

    Very well. I solved the problem of size. Display of the Page edition/preferences/and select the default value of 96 pixels (for some reason, I got that that 500). The size was much smaller. Then when printing, sticky note icons remained where they were supposed to be.

  • Problem with setting icon of FDTS IDE

    Hello

    I was using Adobe Flash Builder IDE to create applications for Tablet Blackberry using Adobe AIR. Currently, I had spent in FDTS IDE based on the details that are on the bb site (). I tried to create apps for the two BB tablet as well regarding BB 10. I followed the same path that we follow in Adobe Flash Builder. But when running the unit or the Simulator, he demonstrated error 'unknown resource '. But the same folder structure, classes, images work properly in Flash Builder.

    Please someone help me solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Vineeth K

    Hello

    I had found the solution for this.

    It was since then, seven windows laptop is to have two Admin & Normal user accounts. The Normal user, I used the IDE FDTS, for security reasons. And FDTS IDE, AIR SDK, Flex SDK, and BB 10 SDK were inside C:\Program Files (x 86) \Research In Motion\. It was the question. I had found that for many software blackberry and related drivers are required to be installed directly on the C drive for better use. I had tried that and found that the setting icon errors are resolved.

    Note: Do not related Blackberry software install in Program Files / Program Files (x 86) in Windows. It can be in any folder inside C (the drive in which Windows is installed), example, C:\Blackberry.

    And now FDTS turns out to be almost fine.

    Thank you & best regards
