Windows 7: Red square on my desktop

computerlover · 24 Nov 2010

I notice when I watch videos that I have downloaded, a big red square can be seen. Checked my desktop and it is not red, but I can still see it. Slight change in color. 2in thick top and bottom and sides. Middle is normal. Outside of square is normal. What is wrong.

Can you post an image so we can see what it looks like?

How do I do that? I tried Prtscn, but nothing happens.

Use the Snipping Tool : Start Orb, and type "snip" in the search box. Draw a rectangle around the image, save, and then here in this thread do a reply, and attach the image.

This is the best I can do. You can barely see it.

Sorry, can't see anything on that image. Could it be a monitor defect? Can you post another image, this time use a digital camera to capture what YOU actually see on the screen.

I dont see a anything, just your desktop. What video player are you using?

Dwarf : Eem by gum......isn't that Lancastrian?

This is a little easier to see.

Sorry, I dont see it (just a blurred bald head).

I think what is happening is that your media player is not in "focus" during the snip. Take a picture with a camera and post the inage here, as per Dwarf's suggestion.
