Wallpaper Windows XP partially hidden.

I have Window XP Pro sp3.  I can't change my wallpaper.  My current experience shows only about 1/5 of the image.  The other 4/5 of the image is white.

I can't change the image.

I can't stop Explorer.exe in Task Manager and the image appears normally complete.  Of course when this happens I can't right click or view the task bar.

When I restart Explorer.exe, the bottom will go back to the view of 1/5.

Someone at - it a response for this inconvenience.

Thank you

This can be a challenge, but most probably not malicious software.  This is most likely a problem with the active desktop.  Open the Control Panel, display properties Desktop tab, click Customize desktop, click on the Web tab in the desktop items window.  Disable activate desktop by deselecting anything in the window then click on synchronize.  It should work.

  • Windows Aero partially stops working

    I had a recurring problem with my Windows Vista Home Premium where Windows Aero partially stops working. Some of my open windows lose the glass effect, and some of my tabs look effect. As far as I know, the 3D Flip feature still works in these situations. I wonder what I can do to avoid Aero lose parts of its features... the behavior is strange to me, since I would expect Aero is working completely or not at all, but this isn't the case. In general, I noticed this behavior so that I have more than a single open window and either close an app full screen or return to windowed mode. I read that a sfc/scannow might help restore the Aero feature if it has stopped and I am currently in the running process, but I would avoid the problem altogether, so that must not be repeated in the future (assuming it works).

    If it makes any difference, I have a 1 GB Nvidia GeForce 9800GT.

    2. after the update that precedes your video/display readers.

    Could be a nuisance pilot. Update your drivers manually looking at system manufacturer and
    Sites of the manufacturer of the device.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

    Hello

    Restart in safe mode and run the antivirus scans here. You have symptoms of an infected machine. Scanning in safe mode will reduce efforts of the virus to avoid detection.

    To restart in safe mode, restart normally, and when the system resets you can press the F8 key. It is point immediately after the screen logo POST or manufacturer initial of the system, and just before Windows starts to load. This will give you a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode.

    While you're here, you must also download and run the tool free malwarebytes here:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (choose Safe mode with networking to do this). He can catch something that lack of MSE, no security tool is perfect.

  • Why a scheduled task in Windows 7 is hidden?

    I'm migrating from XP to Windows 7. I moved a scheduled task that worked fine in XP in the Windows 7 environment by recreating the work in the new scheduled task manager calling from the same batch (.) CMD file). In the general tab of the task properties, the hidden checkbox is not checked. The CMD file works normally (visible) if started from a window or explore CMD prompt.

    When the task is started by Task Scheduler, it runs hidden. The CMD window is not visible, and the user interface of the program it's running (a backup program) is not visible. Processes are listed in the Task Manager, and they are run under my username (not the SYSTEM or LOCAL).

    Can someone explain why this task is hidden running, and how can I make it visible?

    Hi timg11,

    All the scheduled tasks run hidden?

    The user interface for Task Scheduler (IU) is a snap Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that replaces the scheduled tasks Explorer extension in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000.

    To display hidden scheduled tasks, follow these steps:

    1. click on start. In the search box, type Task Scheduler. Then, in the list programs, click Task Scheduler.
    2. on the view menu, click Show hidden tasks.

    See the link below and refer to the section tasks hidden demand that describes scheduled tasks hidden:

    Description of the scheduled tasks in Windows Vista
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/939039

    The above article is for Windows Vista. It remains valid for Windows 7, too.

    If you are having problems scheduling tasks or for tasks to be performed correctly, first make sure that the Task Scheduler service is running. You can check that the service is running if you click on the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, click Services, and check the status of the Task Scheduler service is started.

  • Everything started happening: Windows 7 taskbar hidden Firefox down. Reappears if F11 key twice but then disappears again

    Firefox is updated - 30.0, and I think that since the last update I can no longer see the taskbar. If I press F11 (fullscreen) twice he reappears, but then if I go to, say, a document word and return, he disappears again. Ditto if I click anywhere on the screen in firefox. Taskbar are locked and set to desktop wallpaper - they have always been.

    It turns out that it was down to my having "slept" or put the laptop into "hibernation" several times without having close. After a shutdown and reboot, everything is ok again

  • Over years: taskbar Windows 7, sometimes hidden with FF 7.0.1

    I pointed out to him that this problem has been long. Sometimes, by the way my cursor to the bottom of the screen of the monitor fails to reveal the taskbar in W7. If I restore FF down to a smaller screen size, then the taskbar will appear when the cursor is passed down.

    Because it is a random problem, it is very difficult to determine with certainty what makes. But I will say that it seems to happen when KeeFox is manipulated in some way. And, can be temporarily put everything right to turn around restore/maximize...

    For those of you who are interested in this issue, it seems that it is a bug window dating back to Vista and that it must still be fixed by Ms. This problem has also been reported with IE and Chrome, but not of Maxthon (been a long user date of the latter and never had this problem).
