Graphics, or IE, or Windows Mail problem
I'm stumped as to what my problem is--starting by posting in the Graphic Card area.
Two weeks ago my computer freaked out. I'm running W7 64 Bit. I had IE9 at the time but have since gone back to IE8; problem didn't correct itself. The problem is, everything I see on my screen in IE (and some in Sarari and Netscape) --- well, it's not appearing as it should. I see "outlines" around everything...text that should be displayed isn't displayed...pictures don't show up. The Facebook hme page is missing the Facebook logo...that kind of thing. (I have screen shots but am not sure how to share them--I'll try to attach a sample of a page in IE.)
I know ZIP about computers so I'm stumped on how to know what is wrong. I thought maybe I could reinstall IE and Windows Mail and see if that would fix it...but can't find how to do that either. All my auto-updates show that everything is updated?
Also---I have a lot of folders in Explorer with padlocks next to them, and they didn't use to have padlocks next to them! My "desktop" folder in Explorer is gone---thank goodness I had backed up the contents to another folder before that but it's not convenient to have the folder gone. My recycle bin vanished from the desktop, too, and has a padlock on it. Stumped.
Please--can anyone help???
