I ran into a bug with the 64 bit FxVisor as well, getting an Unhandled Exception like Alan's when I was about to log off. Difference is the top right of my screen started flickering right after. When I restarted my display was off center and text was blocky, and I was unable to change my resolution due to "Out of Range" errors from my monitor. Again booting up Vista Shortcut Overlay manager and trying to switch it back (while yielding the same Unhandled Exception) did little to nothing, though another restart and a manual image adjustment via my monitor's controls has seemed to get things more or less back to normal. But it feels like more of a bandaid than a fix, any idea what FxVisor processes might've had this effect, and how to track what changes might've done this? I can't find if fxvisor created a log or an automatic registry backup or anything...
Hello My Bad, and welcome to Seven Forums.
I'm not sure why it's giving you this error since it's working just fine on my 64-bit Windows 7. Maybe the questions below will help to narrow down a possible cause for those with this issue.
Do you have SP1 installed, and all Windows Updates installed?
Do you have .NET Framework 3.5.1 turned on in Windows Features?
Do you have UAC turned on to at least the default level or above?
Oh, thanks for the prompt reply. Just installed a week ago, UAC is still on, SP1 and fully updated as well. .NET framework is as turned on as it is by default, as in I haven't touched it. It's "on," though WCF HTTP activation as well as Non-HTTP activation are both turned off. I'm not as concerned with getting it working (as Ultimate Windows Tweaker has the same function) as much as I am concerned about what it would've altered in my system to make my display properties behave like that.
My bad,
I'm not sure how the program could have caused this to be honest. I've never heard of that happening before. The changes it makes should be very similar to the manual method used in OPTION TWO. I'm thinking that there may be some other issue that may be involved with it.
i see a screenshot just like of my desktop....can someone help me. rebuilding iconcache.db doesnt work.
Hello Mark, and welcome to Seven Forums.
It looks like your shortcut arrow overlay icon is messed up. Using OPTION ONE in the tutorial on the first page of this thread to restore the default shortcut arrow should fix this for you. :)
thank you so much. now my desktop back to normal..... thank you Brink...thank you and thank you.
More power!!!

I don't know if this is obnoxious or rude, and I apologize if it is either!
But, when I wanted to get rid of the arrows, at least for the non system applications, and even then, for some of them at least, I found the actual .exe in the program files folder/ Windows folder respectively. Copy, paste onto the desktop, and there I had it.
It wasn't a shortcut anymore, but still pointed to the same program, and read the same files to do so. I can't get it for a Computer icon, but that was it. A lot more simple than a utility or reg editing in my opinion.
I hope this helps, or at least invokes some thought. And I really hope this wasn't brought up previously...
