lavinais1 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I deleated some programs so I could free up some space and now my display won't appear. Well, actually it does for a few seconds until the icons apear and then the screen goes blue. And also when I shut down as the icons turn off, the blue screen disappears and for a second I see the display picture before the PC shuts down. I logged into the display and tryed to change the picture and I can't even get any of them to highlight. It just won't let me click on them. I checked for maleware and I have a good virus scan. I just have no Idea what could have went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan2273 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 From another forum courtesy of DaveC2003.Click Start-Run and type:regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dllregsvr32 /i shell32.dllSee if the problem is resolved. If not, proceed further:Is Active Desktop Wallpaper set? If so you can remove from the registry (forstand-alone systems).Create a System Restore point, or take a valid registry backup.Open Regedit.exe and navigate to these locations one by one:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mic...HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pol... Panel\DesktopHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mi...HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Po... Panel\DesktopIn the right-pane, delete the following values if they exist:1. Wallpaper2. WallpaperStyleClose Regedit.exe and re-login. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
