PARTS OF PICTURES STAY ON SCREEN

HI ALL!

I have been having problems with my computer leaving parts of pictures on the screen for..well, tonight the part that says 'log off' 'turn off' with the key icon and stuff, has been on the bottom of my screen for 6 hours.

I have been trying different' things, I defragged cuz I have been downloading progs and saving alot of pictures, but it didn't help this problem.

I heard of this happening, but, can't remember what it was about?

Thanks so much if anyone has any ideas, I appreciate the help!

Bottom of the screen - You mean just above the start button? A screenshot could be helpful

 

Hey Girl!

I presume refreshing the desktop didn't work either? Occasionally this happens on my system, so deleting or saving the already used pictures to disk would help in the memory department. Drop desk.cpl into you're run box and goto "Settings", adjusting the color quality from 32 to 16 bit will help also (I don't think you'll notice too much difference). Then go "advanced" tab, monitor. I think you have a desktop, try to find the refresh rate documentation for you're monitor.
You can adjust the frequency in hertz by unticking "hide modes that this monitor cannot display"
ONLY if you're certain of the refresh rate the monitor can handle.

Omit the reference to Nvidia drivers here, the explanation of settings applies nontheless.


I'm hoping someone more experienced will add to this...

Here's how to see to the refresh rates.

Right click the desktop, select 'Properties'.

Then click on the 'Settings' tab, then click on the 'Advanced' button.

Click on the 'Monitor' Tab to find the refresh rate settings.

 

Marja,

Pardon my memory....is it PhotoShopPro you have, or PaintShopPro?


GF

 

Marja's got Paint Shop Pro GF.

 

Thanks Buck.

Marja,

Please humor me here, two/three questions.

• 1. Approximately what percent of you're hard drive are you currently utilizing?

• 2. Installed physical RAM?

• 3. Size of you're virtual paging file? M$ recommends 1 1/2 times the physical size.
  (right clk computer, properties, advanced, performance settings, advanced)?

For comparison...my physical RAM is 256Mb installed, paging file set at 384Mb, "My Pictures" consume 58.6Mb's,
and am currently using less than twenty-five percent of my available hard drive space.

You could defrag from the command line, but still think this is related to PSP and memory.

Wish I had an easy solution for you.
Little more info...Monitor ABC's.

OK!! GF!

I am using 8% of my harddrive (120G)
Have 512 RAM
Next it says 2mb minimum?? Seems kinda low!
768 mb allowed, actually it says 768 to 1536 allowed on the other page.
263 mb in pictures (OMG )

I am putting a screenshot up, because I am confused whether I actually have the paging file set or not!

Something new all the time, huh,GF!!

THANKS GUYS!! I DIDN'T EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SETTING
I also had some settings on PSP that were not right, so between the two, crossing fingers!!!

 

Yes, your paging file seems to be active

If you set the paging file to 'System managed size' then Windows will automatically set the paging file size as per your needs.

 

HI Firecat!

I will do that! Thanks for your help!

Thanks, G'FORCE!! If you find out about the timing out!?! Appreciate it, Links Hunter!!

Take Care Guys!!
