I was able to set it to 75Hz. On the Nvidia website it says to remove Nvidia Display Driver before installing new drivers. There are 2 listed in the Program list. One is Nvidia Windows 2000/XP Display Drivers and Nvidia Display Driver. Should I remove both?
Don't want to sound dumb, but what is a red herring? How do I check my refresh rate? No, I haven't updated my graphics card drivers. I do have Ad-ware, Spybot and Window Defender. I've been using every resource I can find. Are Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer connected in any way on a pc?
Definitely
I have Norton 2005
I have Norton. I've scanned quite a few times in the past week with Norton and other online/downloadable tools. What do you mean check with some of the Sysops?
Mine is 6.00.2900.2180(xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) @ 1,008 KB 8/4/2004 2:56:49 am. In my Windows folders these are the ones modified on the same date and time: twain_32.dll explorer notepad regedit slrundll
My resolution is the same as it has always been from day one, but I did try changing the resolution which did nothing. The problems is affecting any wallpaper I apply. The wallpapers look fine when opened by any other prog. such as PSP, etc. I don't use DesktopX, IconX, Webshots or any other wallpaper program. The further I've come with this problem, the more I'm convinced it's not a WindowBlind problem. I had the W32IRC bot virus, got rid of it, but still have this problem with any wallpaper ap
Actually I think it was a tool from MS that removed it. So could one of the latest Window updates affect my wallpaper? I did a bit of a search on the version of Windows Explorer I have and seen that many people had problems with it, but not the problem I'm having. The most common problem people were having were crashes. Is there a way to undo the latest update or even figure out which one was installed last? I haven't cleaned out any of the Uninstalls that are in my window folders, I just can't
OK, I finally found the problem...at least part of it. It is when Windows Explorer starts that my wallpaper changes. I don't know if it is because of some leftovers of the W32 IRC bot virus I had that affected Explorer or because of one of the recent Window Updates that were installed. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mary
I use to have a couple registry cleaners, but I recently reinstalled windows and couldn't find my cds for them. Guess I better get one, I'll try the one you mentioned. I do have the Quick Launch bar enabled and tried the "Show Desktop" a few different times without any luck. When I find out what caused this problem, I'll be sure to post what is was. Thanks so much, you've been very kind. Have a great weekend Mary
Yes, only when displaying the wallpaper. All my wallpapers look fine when viewing them in the wallpaper folder, psp or any other way. I left PSP on for about 5 min. and it didn't change. I just did the dxdiag thing and everything was fine. On Windows startup, the wallpaper is fine for about a min. or two, then the screen goes blank and the wallpaper comes back jagged. No, I don't use DesktopX. It seems it is only affecting wallpaper when applied to my desktop. The problem came about after I inst
Well, ah, you're oh so welcome for the SS, BigDogBigFeet. It was meant to show the problem. I don't use any wallpaper programs. I did try the "no wallpaper" thing and then chose different wallpapers and still had the same problem. The wallpapers aren't corrupt, I opened them up in different programs such as Paint Shop Pro, etc. and they looked great. I'm glad you find humor somewhere in my posting for help. Bichur, I tried what you posted and didn't find any thing hidden. Thank you,
I have AveDesk and WindowBlinds. I shut both down, but it didn't make a difference. I have the "Apply any Wallpaper supplied" unchecked. I recently DL Miranda IM, didn't care for it and deleted it. The wallpaper problem started somewhere after DL Miranda. Below is a partial SS of my desktop. You can see where the arms and all around the image is jagged, where before it wasn't. It starts out a nice sharp wallpaper and then goes blue. It isn't a total blue screen, it leaves a part of my wallpaper
I don't think the problem is WindowBlinds related, but my wallpaper will load and look fine. Then I see a blue screen and the wallpaper comes back with little jagged edges. It's just something that started all of a sudden. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mary
Thanks for all the help. I found out what program is being used - Avedesk: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/Avedesk.shtml
Then that makes my start menu icons larger as well, which makes them distorted.
I have IP, but my icons don't display as in the SS, those are much larger.
Could someone tell me what program is used to display icons as shown in this SS? https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=17451&LibID=13&comments=1 Thank you, Mary
Just thought I would post what fixed my "non-compact" compact start menu problems. I had to go into User Overrides and disable the XP style Taskbar. Thanks for all your input. Mary
In SkinStudio, once I change the size, how do I save it. What are the steps? Thanks again, Mary
I have a problem with many of my skins. When I choose Compact Menu, it's always the full menu. Am I missing a setting somewhere? No, I am not using the "Classic" menu. Thank you, Mary
Thanks for the info and screenshots. Many blinds give the option of a compact menu, but like the one I'm using now (JosephArt) my start menu is still a full menu even though I chose the compact substyle. Am I missing something here?
What is the difference between regular and compact in WindowBlind themes? I don't see a difference in the previews. Thank you
