  • white box in the middle of the screen

    I have a dell inspiron N4010, and I recently encountered a problem when I run windows 7 Home Edition premium, after that the laptop has the home page, a few minutes later the white box shows ups on the screen. Please someone with the same problem there. Can someone help me, thanks.

    kaly99,

    Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE, and then click the Task Manager tab, highlight the currently running task and click end task to see if that will remove the white box. If it loads on startup go to start - run and type msconfig. Once that opens, choose Start task. Remove the check mark from programs that are run at startup. You may need to do one or 2 at a time to figure out which program is causing the white box.

  • I have a white line in the middle of my screen

    Computer was working fine, then all of a sudden a white vertical line directly in the middle of the screen that goes from the edge of the screen on the top until the end of the screen on the buttom.

    Hello

    Sometimes reseating the video cable will solve this problem. If it is a unit of office, you can also try shutting down and reinstalling the video card.

    To detect if the problem is with the monitor or video card, try connecting another monitor. If the problem is still present, it is the card. If this isn't the case, then the monitor must be replaced.

    1. Are what food you referring?
    2. How do you restore on the computer?

  • White square in the middle of the screen

    On my desk of the sisters, she has her peak office and no matter what she put on it or leaves Virgin she has a big white square in the middle of the scren and it covers anyting behind, we searched and searched and cannot understand why, we had malware and spyware and all software programs we can but nothing he removes its been a few months ago. She visata, can anyone help thanks

    Try using a regular background with no photo and see if the problem goes away.  There may be a problem with the use of the images on the desktop and I want to exclude.

    Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should get updates for your video card and your monitor at least and all the others you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    If the above does not work, there may be a hardware problem with your video card or your monitor (or maybe something else that these two are the most likely suspects) - but let's cross that bridge if we come to it.

    I hope this helps. Let me know (and don't forget to tell me what happened when you tried the above in your next reply).

    Good luck!

  • Since its installation in Firefox 20.0.1. There is a box in the center of my screen titled progress install with a bar running below the Green progression.

    Please help this driving me Mad
    Since the installation of Firefox 20.0.1. on my MS Windows 7 Toshiba Laptop there was a box in the center of my screen titled "progress install < with a bar running below green growth."
    Firefox 20.0.1 (FF) works very well and I can drag the box of progress on my screen to my heart's content. Although there no small cross at the top right I can get rid of him by my mouse over the icon (ff), pinned to taskbar program in hover. This gives me a box of progress of installation with small cross, click and his party. That is until I got close and restart (ff) and back it comes in the middle of the screen. I tried to get rid of it through CTRL-ALT-DEL Task Manager, but even once, it reappears on start up (FF) I also stripped (ff) of my machine, once using widows uninstall/change of MS program features and for the second time by using third-party software as soon as I reinstall (ff) new same old problem.
    Thank you

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
