Can you still open the Start Menu? Here are a few things to try: - Right-click the Toolbar, deselect the Desktop toolbar, exit. Then go back in and select it again. - Try lowering graphics hardware acceleration slide. You can lower graphics hardware acceleration in Display Properties, Settings tab, Advanced button, Troubleshooting tab. If this helps, you probably need a different graphics card or drivers. - Click Start, Run, and enter these lines, one-by-one: regsvr32 ole32.dll (Press Enter key) regsvr32 /i shell32.dll (Press Enter key) regSvr32 /i shimgvw.dll (Press Enter key) regSvr32 /i mshtml.dll (Press Enter key) -- Joe =o) |

Firstly, regSvr32 registers these .dll's which are already on your system, so that they're loaded and seen as needed. None of them are dangerous; regsvr32 just re-registers these existing .dll's. A .dll (dynamic link library) can contain command codes, fonts, and/or icons.. some can be malicious, but none of these are downloaded; they're already part of your system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-link_library The ones listed above are used with drag/drop and other operations, imaging, and shell commands. -- Joe =o) |
