dd_jay:
tnx very much,heres a pic,d car (Background) is suppose to be pure red but u can see blurred effects

wolebaba:

You most have changed some settings unknowingly.

Right-click COMPUTER and click on PROPERTIES

On the system properties dialogue box, click on the ADVANCED tab and click on SETTINGS

A new dialogue box "performance options" appears, where you click on VISUAL EFFECTS tab and UNCHECK the option "USE DROP SHADOW FOR ICON LABELS ON THE DESKTOP".

Click apply then ok.

Shikena....that should work!!!!

skydancer: @bigstar: you may as well ask me what I know about a mouse that disappeared from its cage. You should phrase your questions properly. Is it your wireless connection tray icon that disappeared? Or has your wireless adapter stopped working? Or you can't configure your wireless connection again? Or your computer cannot detect your wireless device? What do you mean you use broadcomm driver? Is it that your original driver stopped working and you loaded a broadcomm instead. It should work though, because compaq no longer exists. HP bought compaq about two years ago, and HP makes broadcomm drivers.
PLEASE KINDLY HELP MY HP COMPAQ BRINGS UP WLTRAY APPLICATION ERROR CLOSE THE PROGRAM. 0c000007b WHAT COULD BE WRONG

Windows Experience Index rates your hardware, is it 2.1 or what is it saying ?

What happened if you use another wallpaper ? blurry ?

did you follow the link ? have you check your resolution settings ?

use google to visit device manager and look for display adapter, what is it saying ?

any yellow sign. I might have to offer you a remote support where i can
take over the computer.I'd think about it

nothing wrong with your vga.. this has happened to my lappy a million times. before i discovered it turns off due to the immense heat travelling back inside the cooling fan....
When next you're playing your pes, Try to place your laptop on a book or something which can give the cooling fan some breathing space away from the ground ... Hope it helped...

Leave it alone to revert. IF you are in a hurry, boot to SAFE MODE and do system restore from there (Assuming you know how to do system restore).

Good luck bro.

Take it to an engineer. The cost will depend on the part to be replaced. Anyway it shouldnt cost more than 15k for the screen and like 5-10k for the flex.

Check if you are using the latest hardware drivers, especially the chipset and video drivers.
Older drivers are a common contributor to BSoD issues.

You can visit the laptop manufacturer's website to verify you have the latest drivers
and help keep all your drivers up-to-date. If you're comfortable with driver installations,
you can individually find and install current drivers on that same website.


If you have installed any software drivers, we may be able to turn the clock
back to when it was working okay.

Tnks for ur response M usin hp pentium M it is nt dual boot.

If i wnt 2 update d hardware it say The wizard could nt find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed. But if i check the general status of the driver it says Windows cannot load the device for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39).
Tnks guys.
