Screen flashing right at the top of my screen (Windows 8)

Hey everyone, I have a question about my monitor/screen on my laptop. My laptop is a Compaq CQ58 running Windows 8. Whenever I'm on my laptop (especially of office) there is this thin white line on the top of my screen flashes constantly. Sometimes it is imperceptible, but sometimes it's really, really bad, (covers at least a quarter of my screen).

I have no warranty, and I wonder if this is an issue that can be fixed easily without hassle.

Thank you.

    It seems that your screen displays some graphical anomalies when you connect to your user name. I would use these troubleshooting steps in the following article on the resolution of screens:

    Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    From: get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    High graphics most of range, the cards are equipped with display rotation built in and adjustable via display properties or via the display properties of the display icon in the Notification area (to the left of the system clock).  It is a nice feature if you want to read things more like a book on your laptop, etc.

    Some examples would be ATI, NVIDIA, Intel, Matrox, S3, XGI.  These adapters can be integrated into your system, and not always his own card.

  • Black screen with a white flashing dashboard on the top left corner

    I try to use the recovery disks (four in total). I put the first disc in and it ran on F11 and it ran, then he asked me to assess extra and who ran very well. Then he asked for 1 system recovery disc and that went very well, last she asked me to put in disc 2 of the system recovery and all I got was a black screen with a related flashing on the top left corner of the screen and it did not run. So now I'm stuck, and the disk 2 and 3 did not perform. Help! I really don't want to spend three hours on the phone with HP. I have a HPE-470F, Windows 7

    I hope we can get it worked. Normally you do not press F11 when you use recovery discs. Not sure, but you may have triggered a step wrong using it.

    Follow the instructions here closely again with an attempt to recover:

  • A little black box appears at the top left of my Windows 7 login screen just before the Welcome screen and the stalls password when I try to enter. HELP PLEASE?

    Whenever I turn on my computer for a week, I try and put my password and after the first or the second key it stalls. He again entered my password, but I don't see whether registration in the password box. I also have a little black box that is slightly smaller than the size of a post-it note in the top left area of my screen for half a second, then it disappears and continues to my home screen and office as usual.

    I had this problem for about a week, and I can't understand what is the problem. I googled some things, but no one had the right answer. Someone said it was a startup with a defective software program, but I checked and I have the same 4 startup programs I've had there for a year. (DELL Wiireless WLAN Card, IDT PC Audio, Synaptics Pointing Device Driver and NVIDIA Compatible Windows 7 display driver) Everything is up-to-date and I already have Windows Update.

    Someone help? I'm paranoid that it might be a Spyware... ? None of my passwords and others are corrupted though, everything has been fine. I am making bluescreens (but not daily). I scanned with Malewarebytes and found nothing and I do that again right now. I also tried Registry Mechanic and Windows Security Essentials, but found nothing.

  • How can I get rid of the second bar blue at the top of my browser window after I open a new window?

    When I open a new window or click a link that opens a new window, the new window has two blue bars along the top of the screen. The top bar is the one that I expect to see with the firefox logo, the name of the Web looking at page and the reduce, enlarge, close buttons. The second bar, below, has a tab orange on the left side who says "Firefox" with an arrow pointing downwards and then on the right side has him minimize, maximize and close buttons. These buttons are the same buttons on the blue bar to the top do. Below the second blue bar is the normal toolbar, but the upstream and downstream buttons do not work. How can I get rid of the second blue bar. He began to appear after the last update I did last week.

  • Title of the position right at the top with the label.

    Hello

    I use the financial report to create a report with a grid, a label with a title and a logo.

    I would like to give a title to a report, so I created a text box to do. I want to put it on the upper right side of the report. My problem is when I put a vertical and a horizontal position by default, it does not define anything in the report because of the size of my grid.

    Can someone help me on this?

    The solution I found is: Add a label with empty spaces behind my title tag.

    Unfortunately, it makes me manually adjust and when Hyperion not gives me results for an intersection the label is no longer ajust.
