Red dots appeared on desktop on satellite icons

I have a satellite phone that recently has been slow to seriously and yesterday when I logged on my pc all the icons bar 3 received the red dots in the lower left corner of them. I don't have any idea what they are, but I would like to get rid of them! I called the Toshiba Helpline last night tried to do a system restore (which it would not allow me to do it unless I was in SafeMode) which I did and it made no difference.

Then they suggested I update my graphics driver that I did too, but it's always the same.
My computer is running vista and im not very experienced with it at all so I was wondering if someone could help me.

The only thing I can think to do at this time is to back up all my files and simply wipe but it would be really tedious as I have a lot of music stored in itunes that I would eventually have to put back in place in and if I can avoid it, it would be so good!

Hope to hear from someone soon
See you soon

Hello
Try and use properties, office and increasing the size of the icons might work.

  • New icon for blackBerry Smartphones? Circle with an arrow pointing diagonly, with a red dot

    Hi people.

    A new icon has just appeared... no idea what/how it happened.

    It is a circle with an arrow pointing to the South West (if it was a compass). It also has a red dot on the top right of the circle.

    Has anyone experienced this and know what it is?

    Thanks in advance

    The icon indicates that there is a message unread, referring probably to the fact that there is an update available for a certain application in the BlackBerry App World.

    Since this is a generic message and not related to a specific account, the message must be visible by clicking on the Messages icon.

    Open the messages application/folder and you should find the message it informing you that there is an update available in App World. The message should send you to the appropriate application that must be updated.

    I don't think that you need to update the application to get rid of the icon; simply open the message should clear.

    See you soon!

  • White red dot on my phone iPhone6 icon. Any unanswered calls or voicemail. No number in the red dot.

    I have a red dot on my phone icon IPhone6. Any unanswered calls, etc., just a red dot with no numbers in it.

    Try these standard troubleshooting steps.

    Reset: hold the Home and Power buttons until you see the Apple logo (10 to 20 seconds).

    If this does not help, you may need to restore your iPhone.

  • Re: Satellite P750 - white dots appear with animations, not everything at stake

    White dots appeared with all the animations but note during the matches and need info on a solution to this.
    I did a factory reset again it's an update on the graphics card drivers and now the computer sometimes overheats and shuts down and also to slow.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    It s a Satellite P750 with gt 540 m graphics card

    > did a update on the graphics card drivers and the computer now sometimes overheats and shuts down and also to slow.

    You must use the page of the Toshiba driver graphics driver because this driver is designed for mobile use. Drivers from other sources are not changed and lead to overheating GPU. This may damage your laptop.

    PS: it would be interesting to know if the white dots are visible on the external monitor and when you noticed these white dots exactly (what animation?)?

  • icons on my desktop appear as "Microsoft Exporer' generic icons

    All the new icons on my desktop appear as 'Microsoft Exporer' generic icons. Any help appreciated...

    Jim,

    You can create shortcuts to your favorite in the Favorites web pages and the favicons will be there. Or you can create a favorite on a link bar in Internet explore and that display the "logo".

    The problem you are having is a common one in terms of URL shortcuts are considered. When you create a shortcut to a Web site, or add to Favorites IE, Internet Explorer downloads a file icon named "favicon.ico" from the Web site. This is the icon file that contains the icon that see you on your shortcuts.

    Windows Vista does not support customization of shortcut icons Internet Explorer on the desktop other than the steps in my previous post. These 'logo' to mark specific icons are called the favicons. Favicons do not appear on the default desktop shortcuts in Vista. If the favicon doesn't exist for your shortcut that will be located in the temporary Internet files. If you can find it there when you browse after step 2 of my previous post, you can use it. If it isn't there, using another icon, is your only choice.

    Internet Explorer stores the favicon file in the folder Temporary Internet Files itself. This means that whenever you clear your temporary internet files, or after a defined number of days when IE erases the file icon file is lost. Accordingly, because Windows is no longer able to find customized icons for Web sites, it is the icon of Internet Explorer by default.

  • What does the green dot on my desktop icons? __

    What does the green dot on my desktop icons?

    Hi Jamie

    The green dots are probably coming in a third-party program.

    Some backup programs, such as Carbonite, will overlap at a point of color icons of file or program to show the status of backup of this element. In addition, some abtivirus programs will use these points of overlay icon.

    Most of the programs will be an option to turn off the icons.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why do I get messages saying that I have not destroyed tabs; I ususally click on the red dot. why I get this error message?

    In the past I could navigate from one site to another without closing a tab. The messages now appear that say I have does not close a tab and need to close or to restore. I tried closing of tabs as I've used them but my tab bar shows no tabs open when I close Firefox. When I restart Firefox I get messages saying that I did not close the tabs! It's very annoying. How do I put it back for when I click the red dot, it is closed. and when I restarted Firefox it just goes to my home page? I use a Mac 10.6.8

    No, there is no problem now with this parameter when the bug is fixed.
    the problem is basically firefox 20 wrong classifies this way to close the browser as an accident & will launch the restore function of session at the next launch of the browser. the key to everything: config above completely shuts down service sessionrestore for accidents.

    Once the bug should be fixed in firefox 21, I would recommend resetting browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash back to its default value "true" If, so that you get the benefit of a restored session, where firefox crashes really some time.
