My office is suddenly white and all the icons disappeared. How can I return it to how it was?
No guarantees. Some suggetions. Please try the order that they appear. Check the office after each suggestion.
1. run a full scan to make sure that the machine is clean.
2. the word 'suddenly' suggests this is a recent problem.
Please do a system restore. Choose a date on which the Office was normal as your restore point.http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
3. restore explorer.exe
Press CTRL + Alt + keys Delelete > click Task Manager > at the top, click Procesess tab, right-click on explorer.exe > click on end process > click Applications tab > click New task... > in the Open box, type explorer.exe > Ok4 do a file system check to find corrupt files.

Start button > in the search box, type cmd > look at the top left, right-click on cmd.exe > click on Run As Administrator > press the Enter key.
Now, you will see a black and white screen. It's your cmd window.
At the flashing prompt type this... chkdsk/f/r
It is preferable that you copy and paste that above the line of command to avoid the misspelling. There is a space between 'chkdsk' and ' / '.Press the Enter key.
The window will say something like... (I'm paraphrasing)... he can't do it now, but it will restart. You want to do, o/n.
Type 'y' as in Yes > press ENTER.Output of cmd window.
Restart your computer > system will start the disk check.
It will take a while... a long time. Sit back and wait. Do not turn it off.
The system will restart when the disk check is complete. -

Last week, one of our machines (34 bit) Vista has begun to view Word files by an icon which ranges from normal Word icon. This strange Word icon has the normal Word icon with a gray area at the bottom left. In the grey area is a diagonal bar or a pencil. (Too small to see clearly).
It seems to behave like a normal Word document, but the icon is different. When double click on the file, it opens Word application normally. It prints as expected. If I find a Word file on the server, the icon of the file word seems normal. Once I move the computer, afterwards, the change icon. For some, it changes shortly after I saved the document on the new computer. Sometimes, the icon does not immediately change, and sometimes it does. Sometimes, the icon changes after the updating of the computer.
I was told what happened after an update of Microsoft, but I can't check. This computer has a Word 2007 (which has been updated to Word 2003 several months ago) and is running on the Vista operating system.
We tried to restore the computer to last week, but he did not. Message:
"System restore was not entirely successful. The system files and settings on your computer did not change.
Details:
An unspecified error occurred during system restore. »Hi Super_Ego,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
I suggest you try the following steps.
1. click on start and then click Control Panel-> click the default programs->, and then select the set Associations tab.
2. locate .doc or another Office Word on extensions and select change program.
3. search for Microsoft Office Word, and then click OK.Check if the word file is back to normal.
If this does not work, I suggest to create a test user account and check if the settings file for the word files are normal.
Check out this link that talks about How to create a user account in Windows Vista

Let me know if it worked.

Update: it was not after all water damage. The day I splashed it I also sink it terribly low on battery. Here's how I diagnosed and brought it back:
1 held the power and volume for 16 seconds until what the phone into bootloader mode. Choose the first option to continue the initialization of the phone.
2 opportunity expert virtual Blackberry to test all functions of the phone. Everything worked.
3. went to settings-> battery. 0% battery does not charge.
4 powered off phone
5. "battery charged" the phone:
1. connect to the most powerful USB charger that you have (for me, 3 amps)
2. as soon as the battery with white exclamation point icon appears, unplug the phone
3 phone plug back in. When the battery icon appears unplug. Repeat 20 - 30 times
6. Finally, the phone will start just showing the Red instead of the battery icon. At this point, that the costs of phone for at least an hour. The status indicator turns yellow
7 turn on the phone and load completely
I learned about the "battery charge" of the old Playbooks Blackberry. Apparently, the voltage of the battery may get so low that the BIOS of the phone which will detect and not to load. But during the 10 seconds or so to detect, the battery will be a slight amount of charge. If you keep pushing a little fresh this way over and over, finally he could get enough power to be larger than the minimum voltage and start loading.
Good luck to everyone who has this problem.

Does anyone know a provider for private blackberry battery? My phone got damaged (by a very small amount of water, not overwhelmed), water and is now show white battery icon with exclamation point and do not start. I would try replacing the battery to see if it is the problem or if the load circuit. (Yes, I know that this isn't * technique * replaceable by the user, but I have the backcover and can do). BlackBerry support said they don't sell them and wants to $275 + to fix the device, which is almost the cost of a new private on Ebay. Someone know a provider or have a spare battery that I can buy?
Thank you
-Lester
Edition of the above to reflect the real problem. The battery is just incredibly low. Come to think of it, I'd run it for about 2 days and what I thought was caused water damage was just a super low battery. I "battery charge" it. My discription full of how I did which is updated above in the first post.

Hello
I know that put at the point before, but the problem was never properly solved. I have Windows XP. While I was changing the name of one of my Office Word Document files yesterday, all of a sudden all my desktop icons changed under the same name. I can't tell you how it happened. 'My computer', 'My Documents', 'Trash' 'Internet Explorer', 'Adobe Reader', 'Corel Photo House', "MS Paint", "HP Solution Center" and eight other program launch icons, as well as 12 document records and 25 files of Word document on my desk, all had the same name change that I'd just been undertaken with one Word on my desktop files. Each icon has yet launched the successful operation or properly open to its original content.
I called my friends in the Geek Squad to two different Best Buys and they had never heard of him. I called Microsoft Corp. in Washington State and spoke to someone there. He had never heard of this before but found a couple of reports, one in 2006 and one in 2009. He said that he asked around the House Microsoft and if he could find an answer, post it on the forum.
No one was able to tell me how it could happen and no one could tell me how to fix it.
I then, on my own, done a restore of the system in two days. He restored the original names on all the items that I have listed above and it restored the original names on all 12 desktop file folders. But it does not restore the names under the 25 Word document files. Those that I had to open individually to see what they were and then rename them manually the original name. Would enjoy to hear your opinion on this.
Pete Speth
Hi Pete,.
I tried what you wrote... Select all the files, rename one file and all the files are renamed automatically - as I thought - but for a change of my computer, my network places and My Document obtained renamed the sting that it represents in the registry! I tried CTRL + Z file names seem to be restored, but not for the default icons!... Seems interesting...

Loss of the list/Faded icons of file Internet Favorites Word and picture
After a virus attack, I had to perform a system restore. I lost all Internet favorites that I had previously recorded. In addition, Word and picture files icons were wilted. After the restoration, I removed the virus with an anti-malware program. I also installed a new antivirus. I can't restore your Internet favourites list or the faded icons. Is this possible?
Hi MarkMasonNR,
- You see favorites listed in "operating system drive >: \Documents and Settings\
\Favorites " folder?
Step 1:
I suggest that you try to run an antivirus full scan on the computer by using the anti-virus software installed on the computer. If you don't have any software antivirus installed on the computer, then try Microsoft Security Essentials:
Help protect your PC with Microsoft Security Essentials
In addition, you can run Microsoft Safety Scanner. The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
Step 2:
Create new user and check if this may help. If the new user is working then, I would say that set you the user profile damaged.

All of the files in Word 2007 suddenly turned into generic DOCX files when you check the properties. All the icons have also changed. Opened my backup disk, and now those that changed everything. How can I change them all back to Microsoft Word 2007 as file type and retrieve the correct icon? Was it a Windows update that caused the change? I have Windows Vista Home Premium with service pack 2, 64-bit and a laptop HP dv4-1430us. I am petrified to send one of these files to anyone that concerns me, that it might cause the same happen on their computer. Thanks to anyone who can help! News Forum on the issue seem to be for Windows 7 and Word 2010.
