Help! (Computer problem)

What do you do?

 

Why not scrap the PC and run Windows on the Mac when you need it? Runs faster and more stable.

 

You have opened two instances of your browser.Left click on the 'x' at the top right of one of your 'screens' and all will return to normal.

I'm downgrading your PC knowledge to 2.5.

 

Interesting.

Place your mouse anywhere on your desktop screen and make a right click,then properties if it's XP or personalise if it's Vista.

In XP left click on the settings tab.If Vista,left click on 'display settings'.

Above the sliding scale you should see 2 squares or rectangles numbered 1 and 2.Click on the one numbered 2.

Now below the sliding scale there are two little boxes.If the one labelled extend my monitor to this display has a tick in it,click on the tick to remove it.Then click apply or ok.

Windows only gives you one display per screen so something is still not right with your PC.What I've just told you to do should only really affect your laptop if you have a monitor attached to it.

If this doesn't help you need you friend to look at it.It's not normal and sounds like a graphics card malfunctioning.

 

Sounds like you turned on the active screen as your wall paper. Never liked this feature but you can turn it off in the same menu you used to fix the problem. I imagine your desktop icons are appearing on the second screen that is behind the explorer screen you have open?

Actually I read down and that is exactly what you did. Don't pay to fix that either. It is a matter of a click of a button and resetting what ever background pic you want.

Which windows are you using? XP or 98?

 

Based on experience, helping "low-graded" computer users is much faster, using a desktop sharing proggy like teamviewer. First of all, is much faster than them explaining the problem and you telling them what to do, next you make sure that you got their explanation right, third you make sure they understand you right and finally you show them how to solve or avoid the problem in the future.
And it's free, does not require installing and works through firewalls. Just exchange session IDs and password and you're ready.

 

take it to office max, they will fix it for free. i take all mine of there fix it.
