    install.txt

    I decided if you could spend your time answering and helping... I could make the time now to make the files! hehehe
    If this doesn't work right, let me know and I'll try again :)

    I updated my system specs in my profile too in case that helps... it sure seems like this system ought to scream through anything I'm playing: Skyrim, Modern Warfare 2, Dungeon Siege III.
    I can't even get Batman: Arkham Asylum to run and it came with the video cards, Fallout 3 won't run... it's been frustrating after spending big bucks

    For your installed files:
    1. 100% uninstall Kaspersky and install MSE (link in my signature)
    REBOOT!

    Uninstall PC Optimizer from CyberDefender
    REBOOT!

    If that alone, doesn't solve your problem, then:
    Download and run Securia's Personal Security Inspector. This will help you to update some other programs.

    Free Security Software Download - (PSI) - Secunia

    ===========================================================

    After that:
    Go back to the Task Scheduler tab and DISABLE ALL!
    REBOOT!

    WIN | type MSCONFIG | ENTER | STARTUP tab
    uncheck ALL
    REBOOT!

    Thanks!


    Thanks Karlsnook, that did the trick. I only had to go as far as replacing Kaspersky with the MSE. I also deleted the CCleaner program and things seem to be running waaaayyy smoother now. I've still got to work on those games that aren't running right but that's a task for another day... I wanna enjoy the ones that work right for a while :)

    I appreciate the help :)

    Given how useful the two you've recommended have been, would you share what the others in your signature are for?

    CCleaner is a very valuable program and has no ill-effects.

    All of the links in my sig are harmless. Follow the links to find out about the programs.

    Need following:

    Install CCleaner:
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download

    list of STARTUP PROGRAMS

    CCleaner | Tools     icon | Startup button | Windows tab |
    click on Save to text file button (bottom right side) |
    accept Startup.txt as file name | SAVE button

    list of SCHEDULED TASKS

    CCleaner | Tools     icon | Startup button | Scheduled Tasks tab |
    click on Save to text file button (bottom right side) |
    enter Scheduled Tasks as File name | Save button

    List of INSTALLED PROGRAMS

    CCleaner | Tools     icon | Uninstall button |
    click on Save to text file button (bottom right side) |
    accept install.txt as File name | Save button


    UPLOAD the startup.txt file
    UPLOAD the Scheduled Tasks.txt file
    UPLOAD the install.txt file.

    HOW TO UPLOAD

I finally learned somewhere on this forum how to have Internet explorer always open in fullscreen, and all my favorites open full screen when in IE. But, when I am at the desktop, and click on an icon, it does not open in full screen. I have to maximize it after it opens. I realize this is pretty...
Sims, Jurassic Park, Minecraft, etc. if it's a full screen thing, the icons will be all out of place when resuming back to the desktop. I've selected to align icons to grid already, but it'll still keep doing it. How can I fix it?
My desktop settings are as such: View --> Small icons, align icons to grid, show desktop icons I have 2 rows of icons (shortcuts and stuff) on the left and 2 rows of icons on the right. The ones on the left are perfect, the ones closest to the edge, have about 1/4 inch of space to the edge of...
The icons I save on the desktop open only in half display. Then I have to maximize. In WinXP you expand once and that solves it. What about Win7?
Seen several different posts about this issue but really no definitive answer as to why is occurring. Never happened with XP or Vista only Windows 7. Seems most users with this issue report having a Dell computer but mine is a Toshiba Satellite L505. I just find it very annoying to have...
