Why my desktop background keep disappearing?

I have a Dell XPS 12 with Windows 8.

My origins keep deleting themselves and default to a black background Uni. (Several times now), I downloaded an image, I decide that I want as a background. After varying amounts of time, the background will become simply black. But I know that Windows has to somehow recognize the background, because in the Start Menu, it always shows it and if I tab of a program on the office fast enough, it will briefly be (wink) display and then go to the black screen. Icons still work, and no other loss of functionality is present.

There is no compelling reason (such as applications, programs, or other user input) that I'm aware of that would cause this to happen.

    The network itself works fine and accessible with the help of other computers. The router is OK and works correctly.

    On the Windows 7 computer, however, the network turns off without warning.

  • Why my anchor handles keep disappearing?

    It's literally driving me crazy.  When I change something via convert tool anchor and then release the handles disappear and when I click on the anchor, they go back to where they were originally.  I want them to stay selected. The path was created with the pen tool.

    Another related question, is there a way to simply select one of the handles when you click on an anchor?  Whenever I click on both are selected, so when I move the mouse, the other handle is too manipulated.

    And another question, is possible to stop handles anchor back to its levels of position when you click to activate?  I always have to click on, then cancel.

    When I change something through the convert anchor tool and then release, the handles disappear

    Look in the view menu. Is the command Show Edges it listed? If so, select it.

    and when I click on the anchor, they go back to where they were originally.

    This is why's called it an anchorPoint CONVERSION tool. Click here to convert the point to a corner point (retract its handles). ClickDrag to convert an inflection point, extending its handles symmetrically the anchorPoint.

    is there a way to simply select one of the handles when you click on an anchor?  Whenever I click on both are selected, so when I move the mouse, the other handle is too manipulated.

    You select the handle with what tool? Drag a few extended with the conversion tool and it moves independently the anchorPoint s other handle. Drag an extended handle with white pointer and of the anchorPoint another handle to move if the point is a point of inflection, but won't if the point is a corner point.

    is it possible to stop handles anchor back to its levels of position when you click to activate?

    Yes. STOP by clicking on them with the CONVERSION tool. Select an anchorPoint with white pointer. The tool convert AnchorPoint is for CONVERSION anchorPoints, only not to select.

  • My desktop shortcuts keep disappearing!

    Windows 7 Professional has just been installed on my PC at work. Twice now my desktop shortcuts are gone after the return of the display in standby or sleep mode. Both times seemed to be a Monday afternoon, and it's only the shortcuts to the files on the network drive.

    Is this some type of regular cleanup task that can be off?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/978980

    IE Windows 7 automatically deletes your icons without your permission. This is considered a "function".

    Although I personally killed just the maintenance department to deal with this, I asked myself - perhaps change permissions of NTFS security on shortcuts, so that none of the users/groups have access writing/editing (EM right click and select properties from the context menu), would prevent the service to play with them?

  • Why my ruler guides keep disappears when I place them on the Web?

    I work with Adobe Fireworks CS4 and continues to be the strangest thing.  When I bring a guide on the canvas and release the button of my mouse, it disappears.  It is now a luck of the draw.  Sometimes they stay, sometimes they won't.  I don't know what is happening.  When I drag them from the top of the sovereign, they normally stay, but sometimes they disappear there too after I release my mouse.  Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated right now.  Thank you!

    This seems odd. Have you tried to check the view menu, markers, to check the Guides display has been selected? It should not be necessary, because a new guide of the rule will usually activate this option anyway, but it's the most obvious suggestion.

    The next time that a guide disappears, you might try the shortcut command-Shift-Z to trigger 'Repeat add Guide' and see if it brings back. (This command is also available under the Edit menu.)

    You have the Guides panel installed? Is not directly relevant, but it's a tool really good to work with guides, and I was curious that you encountered the same problems when using the Panel to create placemarks.

    The only way I can get a guide to disappear spontaneously, is if I drop out of the surface of the canvas...

    Hi ad391970,

     

    The reason for updates make changes on the computer would be some conflicting third-party programs or there might be a corruption in the Windows Update components.

    I suggest that you try to install updates by disabling the third-party program conflict and check if it works.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Perform the check and the clean boot if you have the problem.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    User account control permission

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved to check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the step above does not resolve the issue updates suggest that you try to reset the component of windows update and check if it works.

    Check out the link below to find out how to reset the windows component update

    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you check in a new user account if you are faced with a similar question. If a face similar to a new user account which means your other user account has been corrupted.

    Creative Cloud installer gets to halfway through downloading the desktop application, then disappears, no download, why is this?

    I recently bought a student for the 'full package' subscription, my credit card has been charged.  Then I download the installer of creative cloud from the site, that's fine, and then I double click the installer of creative cloud according to the instructions, it starts downloading the desktop application, but is only halfway, then disappears.

    I tried using safari and chrome, restarted my computer, but none worked.

    I noticed that the site won't keep me logged long either, it keeps switching to BUY instead of DOWNLOAD.

  • Why Nav, header, and footer keep disappearing from web pages on DW CS4

    When I open a page of website file, it shows an asterisk, which means that a change has been made since the last save - nav, header and foot have disappeared!

    When I check the nav, footer and header, they're all astericks too, and I have not changed anything, because the last I looked on the pages.

    After panicking, I learned to do a right click on the file at the top of DW tab, and click on restore to get the pieces missing back, but why doesn't this keep happening?  Thank you!

    InJoy salvation,

    I mentioned yesterday a book that might be useful. It's * build your own

    Standards Compliant Website Using Dreamweaver 8, * written by Rachel Andrew,.

    published by Sitepoint Pty, Ltd 2005.

    It of an old book of basic, but explains the side Server includes and CSS

    styles quite clearly. Chapter 8, page 225-234 talks on the creation of the

    side Server and how it works so that the CSS style sheet includes

    - and how and why are sometimes not visible!

    So forget everything I've said because I really don't understand this myself, but

    Today, more than before after having read Chapter 8.

    You can buy the book the Sitepoint site, or it's probably in a lot of second

    stores hand holding books or even the library.

    Fun to read.

  • wallpaper keeps disappearing in XP

    My wallpaper continues to disappear after reboot. He's going to stick around for several times, then disappear. The background color is not affected, and neither are the icons and the taskbar. It's just the image that keeps disappearing.

    What is happening with my own photos and the value default ones (all the bmp). I tried to move one of my own pictures (bmp) into the wallpaper folder (C:/Windows) and selecting it from there, but the same thing happens.

    The computer is not on a network, and no other user accounts are defined on it.

    The only difference is that I have a new monitor. But despite this, the wallpaper will stay for a few days through several resets, then someday it just... disappeared. When I open the display properties, the image is shown as being assigned and even appears in the Preview Panel. By clicking on it, then again restores it immediately on the desktop.

    I use Win XP, SP3. Thank you.

    I'm sorry to say I think you are a form of Malware running on your system, defeating the wallpaper.

    I would go to MalwareBytes.org to try their dose.

    Something is written in the registry.

    b. navigate to the location above.

    c. ensure that the hidden files and folders is disabled so that you can access the location.

    Reference: Show hidden files

    d. type fav*.ico in the search field. This will pull up your favorite icons.

    e. copy and paste icons to another folder, such as the C:\Favorites icon.

  • Please can someone explain why the windows Installer keeps appearing when nothing is installed? Any way to stop this?

    Why the Windows Installer keep popping up, either on a web page or an e-mail to the office when nothing is installed.  No way to stop that... ?

    The desktop of your computer, click on the tab "Start", usually located at the bottom left of the screen (on Vista, it's maybe the windows symbol instead of the word 'Start').

    Now, find and click on the program title 'run '. Vista users can locate this program by typing "run" in the area of research at the bottom of the menu 'start '.

    Once you open 'Run', type 'MSCONFIG' in the empty box and click 'OK '. This will open the System Configuration utility.

    With the open System Configuration utility, select the tab "Services".

    Scroll down the list of services (it may be advantageous to click on the 'service' column to sort the services by alphabetical order) until you find the program "Windows Installer".

    Now, click on the checkbox next to the name of the Windows Installer and click on the button 'Disable' at the bottom of the Configuration of the system.
