    Dead Pixel? Or not?


    As you can see by my screen shots below, it looks like I have a dead pixel to the right of the recycle bin.

    Ive tried changing my desktop backgrounds but it still remains...

    When I drag a window over the pixel its fine...
    ==========================================================
    Whats very weird is that I have the same issue with the 32bit version of windows 7 on my dell inspiron 1525?

    Thats 2 computers with the same little dot!

    This dot disipears if I turn aero off...



    (I know a screenshot would not capture a dead pixel) Thats why its odd!

    Dead pixels don't show up on screen shots. If it was a dead pixel the best way to fix it is to just flick it. I have done this a bunch of times and it always works.

    A dead pixel would not go away when you turn aero off. A dead pixel is a dead pixel.

    That's not a dead pixel. A dead pixles shows up on your monitor and it cant be on the image sent out by explorer.exe.

    You could try stroking the area of the screen gently with not much force.
