  Original title: Hello I have an xp pro sp3 dell dimension 2400. Hanging of Windows desktop and does not, online and off.

  Hello I have an xp pro, sp3, the dell dimension 2400. IE 8 for the internet.  I use McAfee through my SP which is AT & T. Windows Office suspended and does not, online or off the power. I have to use the task mgr constantly to "shake up" windows start and sometimes, it doesn't work anymore and I have to restart.

  I have used all sorts of anti-virus programs and can ensure that it is NOT a virus. It is not my regestry, all updates are current. I keep a clean machine.

  I have xp of the process and have nothing wrong.

  Sometimes my icons will disappear out of my office, but always come right away. Other times, I get a message that says stop running this script. a script on this page slows down IE run slowly. It is for the most part on Face Book, BUT sometimes also on other sites, like google mail. Yahoo mail, groups and news.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  The image (it back up to an external drive as full image) and reinstall Windows XP, update, drivers and everything.  Install any plugins that you NEED to do all that you see here that the bat hurt.  If the problem no longer exists, something has gone wrong with your system from before (corrupt files or your cleaning is not as complete as you think) and if the problem persists - probably something to do with the material. In all cases, you can return to the image if you wish.

  To the extent wherever it is the registry, I must ask, * how * you have come to this conclusion?  Not that I'm defending something - I was wondering what you did to decide who is not your registry database?  (Side: I agree with you.)

  That's what * I * would call cleaning and optimization of a Windows XP machine:

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

• U2415, around the gap between the Windows desktop and the edge of the monitor (bezel)

  Hello

  I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2415. I've read all the FAQS and I know I have to perform the SUBMISSION, but before doing so, I just want to know if it is normal to have a gap between the Windows desktop and the edge of the screen. If the Windows desktop is not covering or fill the entire screen. There all around the smaller than a 1/4 "gap between the edge of the windows desktop on the edge of the bezel of the monitor, and this model has almost no bezel. The graphics settings in Windows 10 are set to use the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 monitor. I tried with different computers (all windows 10), and the drivers are up to date. The monitor is connected via HDMI since I don't have portable computers not with DP interfaces. Laptop computers have Intel and ATI video cards. I have check the put option to scale on the video card software and it is set to 100%. So, is this gap normal? Is the edge Office Windows 10 supposed to touch the physical edge of monitors?  If the gap is not normal, I will perform the integrated test.

  TIA!

  Based on the YouTube comments, which seems to be normal. "But you must run the APPLICATION to see if the"smaller than 1/4"gap" appears. If Yes, then we can say that it is normal. If this is not the case, then some settings of the operating system is the culprit.

• icons, star bar and task bar not missing but appearing too slow

  Hello! The my problem are the icons, the bar start and taskbar. They are not lacking, but his appearance hours after having turned on the computer. In safe mode, they appear quickly, but in this mode, I can't do a lot of things. What can I do to fix that?

  Info about my computer:
  System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
  Computer: AMD Sempron (tm) Processor 3200 + 1.80 GHz, 896 MB of RAM

  Safe mode is essentially Windows running with the bare minimum of starting programs and processes... so if safe mode behaves correctly but normal isn't, this suggests that there is a nonessential program or process that normally runs at startup which is interefering or cause this problem.  The general approach to finding and fixing this problem is a tedious process and iterative where you use "msconfig" to disable processes that run at startup in groups (reset after each iteration) until you narrow in on one that is causing your problem.  The whole process is described in the following article:

  "How to solve configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310560 >

  FWIW, there is also an equivalent to msconfig program called "AutoRuns" that is provided as freeware from Microsoft

  I think I'm done inadvertently the Explorer.exe process when trying to figure out which bogged down my laptop. I have now no start menu, no desktop icons, no task bar... nothing! The paper just painted. When I right click on the wallpaper I get nothing. I have no idea how to get that back. If I had not left my email up, I wouldn't even be able to access the internet!

  Hello.

  You should be able to press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC to open the Task Manager.
  From there, click on file > new task (run...), then type "explorer.exe" in the dialog box and click on enter.
  Of course, should explore back upward during restart as well.

• The unwanted 'no speaker' icon on windows desktop and active

  We have a large square icon 'no speaker' bounce around on our Office W7 and on top of active windows. The President works currently as are all audio components. Thinking that it was associated with the button "mute" on the keyboard, we changed keyboards but no luck. We looked at the parameters related to the speaker icon in the system tray and they all seem normal.  A reboot didn't help. We cycled headphones/microphones in the connector of the control panel front and which did not help. This makes us crazy!

  Thank you.

  I simply blow the computer and get a new one if this continues.

  Yann,

  No need to blow up the computer. Right after that I sent the last answer I looked down on the ground to find out my Cocker Spaniel Puppy sleeping on the remote control for my monitor. I picked it up and there was a 'Mute' with the same icon that I complained. I pressed the "Mute" button and the problem resolved!
  Now I can sleep again.
  That's the problem with dogs. Always play with our remotes.
  Thank you

• No the Windows 7 TASK bar.

  After the execution of Windows 7 for 6 months, decided I wanted my taskbar on the right instead of the left, but when I did drag the taskbar to the left side to the right side of the screen, the taskbar disappeared. I tried to re-start (by pressing the power button on the PC). And the taskbar are still missing.

  I tried a right mouse... Customize... and selected of taskbar and MENU START to move the taskbar to the left side, but the taskbar is missing.  Also now when I do a right mouse on the desktop... then select Customize..., then select START MENU and TASK bar... the task bar dialog box does not appear.

  To sum up... I don't have to enter this mess was to drag the taskbar to the left to the right of the screen and the taskbar disappeared.

  Hello

  Have you ever had several monitors installed on this computer? Looks like the task bar may have been moved to a monitor that is no longer connected.

  Right-click empty spot on the desktop, and then select the Screen Resolution.

  If you see multiple display options, select the drop-down menu and click the option show desktop only on 1 . Click Apply/OK.

  Let us know the results.

• Help - installed VMware and Windows 7 and I can not see my Windows desktop

  Hello

  This could be really basic, but I can't seem to get by:

  I just installed VMware 8 on a new Macbook Pro (OS El Capitan).

  I then installed Windows 7, apparently successfully, all the way up to Windows installation was finished and I went to open the virtual machine for the first time.  The office opened very well, but when I went to maximize this mode full-screen, I essentially disappeared.  She is obviously still ongoing, as he urged on antivirus McFee, that I installed it successfully.

  In the library, the virtual machine appears grey, with a basket and McFee icon.

  

  I tried to uninstall the machine and install again, but the same thing happened...

  Any ideas?

  In fact, here is a better description of what's going on...

  You are in mode of "unity".

  It is a "cache" mode the windows desktop and allows access to applications as they were Mac apps.

  In your menu bar, there is an icon for the merge, and you can launch Windows apps from there.

  Alternatively, you can simply use "Single window" or mode "full screen" for the traditional windows back office.

  The button to switch is in the "View" menu

  Hope that helps!
