demby123 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 A few weeks ago, I bought an acer aspire 5516 laptop. Recently, after a few hours of use, the gui of windows vista will become glitchy,causing icons on the taskbar to shift to the far left(although clicking in there original positions will activate/open them).Also, the start menu will do the same, but all the icons are not visible.As this was happening earlier i tried to take a screenshot to help diagnose this problem, but the print screen button would not add the picture to the clipboard.This problem ceases when I log off or restart the computer,which is what I just did. Now i've searched around on the internet looking to see if its a common problem with this laptop, but so far its just people asking how to use the webcam(which is nonexistant on this model :( ), so im thinking it has somthing to do with windows vista. Specs are here [hide=couple pics] [/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJoe Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I'll pop in a reply until someone with a better clue of what's going on comes. Do you have a Vista disc or recover disc that you could run repair with and see if that changes anything? I also want to say try another graphics driver, but i don't think that's the problem. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mil Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Nothing to worry about. From past experience I am pretty sure that it is just because you are doing quite graphically demanding activities for your laptop (playing RuneScape in HD). I can only suggest playing in Firefox or the official client in order to minimize the usage somehow. This used to happen to me when I had RuneScape and Photoshop open, or some other heavy graphical program. To give a temporary fix, you could just restart explorer[Caution: Executable File] or dwm[Caution: Executable File], I think that may restore the GUI to normal temporarily. It also is possible that new drivers could fix this issue, so check out of ATI's site for your graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
