Hello I'm new to illustrator, I'm trying to create a picture of coverage of facebook, when I save it in JPEG OR PNG format, it is show a white background behind my project, how can I remove it? Thank you Erin
Erin,
With PNG (preferably PNG24), you can check transparency and get rid of the background.
The clear format of artwork no photo would be PNG24. It is important to create the exact size that it should be used, or it will be blurred. You can create it at this size, using points/pixel as the unit and save for Web. You can check the size of the window the size of the Image where you can also check Art Optimized.
I fear, however, you may be out of luck: maybe the format will be changed to JPEG, and size will also change by Facebook software.

Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:
Restore point:

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Why is there a green checkmark bit attached to some of my desktop icons in win 8

Hello
The reason the most common check marks (collection icons) you describe, is that they are used to identify files that have been backed up on a line such as the following backup service.

These marks could also be associated with the file Microsoft Skydrive online service. When a file is placed on your Skydrive space, the check mark is placed on the file.

White box appears around my boss, big white box?
Hello
I have a model to simulate a Heath look. It uses some effects. The box itself is selected very well when cut, but when I drag in the color chart, a white box surrounds, so that appears when I try to fill the patters. It is not a small advantage, it's big enough. I tried to develop, pixelation, a box about the size of the initial motif and divide objects below, or use the pathfinder to crop, but nothing works.
Did someone already had this problem, anyone know yet why the white box surrounds?
Here's a preview when I select it with the selection tool. You can see he is going to the correct edge, but look at the shade it creates in the swatch palette, it is white boarder.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
BabsYou can try the effects of rasterization of the Document settings
