XP update causes background to disappear and the display is not working.

When XP (Home, SP3) update 15/03/2011, it caused my desktop background to disappear and I can't get it back.  It has already happened with improvements, but usually, I was able to get back on the bottom.  But this time, if I go to control panel > display, it does not.  Unresponsive with a right-click on the desktop and no properties.  Tried to restart and reinstall the display driver and still nothing.  With the help of a videocard ATI Radeon HD5700.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

I managed to fix it yourself using the method described on this site:

Who has worked for the first time, so for many people who have had this problem without a solution, there is something to try.

  • using firefox 24, yahoo toolbar disappears and the keyboard does not work on some websites

    We have installed firefox 24, yahoo toolbar sometimes disappears.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  • Aspire S7-391 pointer has disappeared and the trackpad is not working

    Hi all

    I've updated my Aspire S7-391 to 8.1 Windows and now the trackpad is not working, nor the pointer is displayed on the screen. Can I use a USB mouse without problem, and the touch screen works very well. However, even after you have installed the latest driver to trackpad MOMENTUM and by adjusting the settings, the pointer refuses to appear on the screen. Suggestions for corrections are most appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello..

    You can press and hold down the Fn key and press the T key to check if the touchpad works.

    If you have no answer, please uninstall the driver from Device Manager and restore the Acer recovery management pilot.

  • 10.9.5 security Update 2015-008 installed yesterday and the camera does not work

    Hello

    Updated with security update 2015-008 yesterday on 10.9.5 and iMac 27 (end of 2013 - iMac14, 2 Intel Core i7 3.5 GHz) camera (UVC camera VendorID_1452 ProductID_34065) no longer works in Skype, FaceTime, or photo booth...

    It is most annoying. Thank you for advice or guidance.

    Tarkan

    One of them will solve your problem of camera:

    (1) If your Mac restart does not solve the problem,

    (2) use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 from Apple.

    (BTW - troubleshooting section called an "iSight" camera.  However, after that article was published, Apple has changed the name of the built-in camera on the recent "iSight" Macs "FaceTime", then "FaceTime HD."  Whatever the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

    Be sure to test several Apple app (photo booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the 'Guest' for this test account.  If you don't have more than one user account for testing, create one now.  If you need help, how is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

    A 'Standard' user account is all you need for the tests.

    (3) If your camera will work correctly even with Apple applications, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS since system recovery stored on your startup disk.  Don't bother test Skype or other 3rd party apps until you have your camera works with applications Apple.

    (4) If none of the suggestions above resolve your issue, contact Apple or one of the Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally repaired. Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for the service.

    Hello

    I guess you checked if the Tablet has been properly connected to the docking keyboard.

    Have you tried to unplug and plug the docking again?
    Note: there is a latch on the left you have to move and in order to remove the tablet.

    Perhaps there is a connection problem.

  • CD drive does not open and the light does not work

    original title: single CD player problem

    The problem with my CD player seems to be unique I can't find an answer, or someone else with the same problem online.

    My computer is custom built, the CD player lasted me 1.5 years no problem, not until one day I realize, it does not open and the light does not work on it, I ordered a new drive and installed that one, still does not work. so, I replaced the SATA cable which connects to the motherboard, still does not.

    When I go to my computer the drive appears but when I right click > eject it says: "year error occurred while ejecting CD drive D".  It also appears in devices such as SCSI CdRom Device Manager but I am not sure if it's actually my CD player.

    I also tried troubleshooting http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems and no solution.

    WTFFF ideas? I really hope that its not the motherboard

    There are two cables you need to connect to the drive, one for data and one for power.  You must connect both training at work.  If you only have the data cable is plugged and not cable power which would be a possible cause of the problem that you see.

    "Ryanb1290" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

    Sorry, im just of knowledge about computer hardware.  you say that I should try a different agreement or another port to plug in?

    I tried to connect on a couple different SATA ports on the motherboard.

  • Internet and the sound does not work after uninstalling programs, System Restore also not work.

    I noticed that my computer felt a bit slow so I uninstalled a few programs that I knew were not very helpful so I restarted my laptop, and then the network and the sound does not work.

    I tried to use the system restore, but that does not work either and I tried to online solutions, but nothing works.

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help

  • C1765 done yellow toner a printer roller noise rattling and the printer does not work

    Hear a clicking noise when printing.  Replaced the yellow toner and the rattling is still strong and the printer will not work.  The noise and the vibration felt on the new toner only occurs with the yellow toner.  What is happening, is the printer goes wrong.  "low density, yellow to replace the cartridge, printer restart" I just put in a new cartridge.

    Hello David,.

    Please post on the forum. According to the information you provided, it looks like you have a mechanical failure within the printer itself. This device is more compact and carriers Dell limited parts, the best option at this stage would be to replace the printer. It is the course of action we would take if the product is under warranty.

    Kind regards
