    Desktop Screen Problems


    Hi,

    Im unsure if this is the right section but looking around it seems the most appropriate, so im sorry if this is in the wrong section.

    I have 2 problems with my current desktop screen.

    1) There are 2 lines at the top left of my screen (around the My Computer icon in the top left) that are void so to speak. I am unable to click on any spot that the lines cover. If i have an icon or a program, any button covering those lines i am unable to click on it.

    e.g When using firefox i can't click the back button or forward button at the centre of them. (this is where the lines go through). I have to click on the edge of the button or move the firefox window.

    2) At the bottom left of my screen is a spot that when i click (left click), right-click options appear.

    The same options that appear if you were to right-click on the top of a window (restore, move, size, minimize, maximize, close).

    If i click close, the problem persists. If i click on the spot again the options appear. however if i click restore the problem goes away.

    Thanks for any help that anyone can provide and thanks for taking your time to read the above.

    My first reaction would be to download and run the free version of MalwareBytes. Make sure to update it, then do a quick scan. What ever it is, it's not your video card causing it. Please write back to let me know if MalwareBytes finds anything. Even if you already have an anti-virus, it might find something yours missed.

    It might simply be that you monitor is not correct adjusted, most monitors come with an auto adjust button, it might simply be a case of pushing that and let the monitor set it self to the correct setting for your screen.

    @ steve-pressman, thanks anyways for trying.

    @ petey7, I did a scan with Malwarebyte and it didn't find any problems with my system.

    Ill run the scan with avast and see if anything pops up then.
