How do I remove an unwanted image from the desktop screen?

A broken glass sheet image shows on the left side of the screen as soon as I power on my sony VAIO windows 7 Professional laptop. How do I clear this unwanted broken glass sheet image?

I can work on the right side of the screen and I have access to the taskbar. I do not have access to the start menu as the broken glass sheet image hides the Start menu. Any help on this will be appreciated.

Could you provide a screenshot?

How do you know it's an image and not the screen which is actually broken?

A screenshot will tell us that

I don't think a screenshot will capture the cracked screen, only the image which is on the screen and possibly obscured by a cracked screen.

If the actual screen is cracked, then the screenshot will show the normal screen, if the screen isn't cracked, then the screenshot will show the image :)

Also, is it just appearing on the desktop, or everywhere?

dollars to donuts the screens busted.

That`s the first time I`ve ever heard a cracked lcd screen referred to as a broken glass sheet image. Have you recently dropped your laptop ?

The answer to your question is.. Call Sony and order a new screen.

Yes. You are right the screen looks like cracked. I will check with the vendor whether the screen can be replaced. Thank you very much!
