    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.

  • Desktop icons have all disappeared completely and cannot add new ones to the desktop display.

    I use Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1 on a Toshiba individual 5 months old Pro.
    Everything works well except all my desktop icons disappeared last week for example Recycle Bin, Internet Explorer, etc.
    I have activated since the "Desktop >" section of the taskbar and can now access all the icons in a vertical list.
    If I try to add a new icon to real desktop screen does not appear, but it does not produce a copy that can be chosen amongst the "Desktop >" list on the taskbar.
    How can I display the icons on the new real desktop?

    Right-click on the desktop, click on the "View" menu

    In the submenu at the bottom, there is an entry named "show desktop icons".
    Click here, if it is not already.

    Return your icons?
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Windows 7 desktop icons are all links

    Have a new windows 7. flying over my photos from the old computer. Some show a picture, so I right click for hopefully display image in an another photo viewer. I chose the windows photo viewer.  All icons on the desktop has changed so that icon and I can't open anything. They are all links

    'All icons on the desktop changed to icon and I cannot open anything'. I assume this is the icon of the windows photo viewer?

    I think that what's happened is that you used 'open with' on a shortened. You can check by going to control panel > programs > associate a file type or Protocol with a scroll of program LNK partner should say unknown. I suspect now is said however: Photo Viewer.

    If so, there are two ways, this can be fixed. The easy way requires editing the registry but then you want to go this route.

    1. click on Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER. Right click on regedit search results and run it as an administrator.

    2. navigate to the following registry branch:

    NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

    Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts.

    3. delete the subkey named UserChoice.

    4. exit the registry editor.

    The second method is a little more work, can't fix it, but does not involve the registry.

    Since the default action is caused by the user (as it was accidental) choice, you can be able to restore everything simply by creating a new user account. See if the icons to return to their natural state, then knit. If so, just move all your files and folders and delete the old account. If you use Outlook, you also need to reset where it looks for files of Outlook, but it can be automatic (do not try to start Outlook until what everything is copied on the property). If you use this method, remember to copy the hidden appdata folder. Just show all before you begin the copy.

  • When I click on the Windows 7 Upgrade nothing happens and the program does not start.

    This is on a Dell Vostro 1520.

    I'm trying to reinstall an os upgrade Windows 7 32 bit.

    I am currently using Vista 32 bit. I sell the dell so I formatted and reinstalled 32 bit Vista OS.

    The computer was running on an operating system Windows 7 before the reinstall.

    Now when I click on the Windows 7 upgrade it does not load.

    When I try to open since the reboot it will not open either.

    What now?

    Hey, Slugger,

    New installation leaves you a better overall installation,

    Installation custom own steps

    You can use a Full Windows 7 or upgrade disk to do a custom clean install. This will remove all of your programs, but you can save your files and settings on an external storage before doing so. You will need to reinstall all your programs after installing Windows 7. Here are the steps:

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you can install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    2 back up your files and settings. To avoid losing everything that you will need to save copies of all files, photos and other information that you want to keep an external storage device. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool allows you to copy your files (but not programs) from your PC and then transfer them back after you have installed Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick or CD/DVD.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/Windows-easy-transfer

    3. find the discs original installation and license/product keys associated to programs currently on your computer because you will have to manually reinstall your programs after installing Windows 7. Depending on what you have installed, you may be able to download programs from the Internet.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)." Note: 32 to 64-bit requires restart and boot from the DVD.

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, you can use Windows Easy Transfer (or a different backup method you used) to restore your files & settings and use your installation disks to reinstall all your programs. Then you're done - take advantage of Windows 7.

    Steps 2, 3and 4 are recommended for Dell not offering systems not Windows 7 installed at the factory. Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check that all of your software and computer components are ready for Windows 7. This application will scan your system and make recommendations on what to do before the upgrade to Windows 7.

  • All of the programs do not start

    Computer is only a few months old a day all works well, that during the night that all programs fail to start showing error the application has failed to start because its side by side configuration is missing see the log for more information.

    Don't know what to search for in the log file. Cannot open the Control Panel, need help please.

    Hey,.

    To be honest that s manifested no description of the error and I can help you t. No one knows what you have installed programs, what OS and mobile you have.

    In my opinion, you perform an installation of system recovery if you can't start programs of t. TOSHIBA recovery disc or HDD recovery can restore the factory settings and after everything works again.

  • Whenever I have turn off my monitor, and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.

    This issue just started.  Whenever I have turn off my monitor and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.  This happens when my system goes into power saving mode, or whenever I have turn off the monitor.  Even if I turn it back on just 5 seconds later, all of my icons are not where they were previously.  Help!

    Suggestions:

    1 a simple way:
    . Right click on desktop > view > uncheck Auto arrange > check snap to grid.

    2. in a more elaborate way and actually a better way. I use this method I have over 150 shortcuts etc on my desk. I can't afford to have shortcuts/icons, rearranging themselves. I won't be able to find anything, if they do.
    Here is the tutorial:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-Windows-Vista/

    Note: The method is not perfect, you can, after a while, have one or 2 icons on the spot. But it's easy to fix.

  • The desktop icons are scattered after Windows updates

    I just applied the February patched to my laptop running vista Home premium. I now have a new icon on the bar called "intel graphics media accelerator driver for mobile' tasks and my desktop icons are scattered. What's past and how to fix it. I can't find mention of the graphics accelerator intel in the list of applied patches.

    Suggestions:

    1. go into "View Update history" > mark down the KB # of you February patch.
    2. If your Windows Update is set to Auto, change it to manual.
    3. do a system restore. Choose the date before you install the latest Windows Update as your restore point.
    4. If everything is back to normal after the system restore, ask a question in the Windows Update forum. Ask if this KB # is required to install or if you can ignore that.
    at the moment I am unable to go to the Windows Update forum. So I can't give you the link to the forum. You will have to do it yourself.
    5. soon you will receive the new update available. Check the update. If you find the same update you have problems with, don't install this one until you get the answers from experts in Windows Update.

    How to restore the system:
    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, click
    > Next > finish
    To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.
