Hi Kenb, Its not the movement of the mouse. Yes the time factor is always the same..

Hi All, I have a strange problem that started after I installed new disk. (SATA) I set the screen saver to 10 minutes after which it activates. but a few minutes later it reverts to the working screen. I have disabled the power save so that is not causing the problem. Can anyone help please? roanantelope.

Thank you Randyl, You cracked the problem. You are an ace. But all the other members taught me a lot, So A BIG THANKS TO ALL. Roanantelope.

Hi Startbuck, Yes the problem is the same. To my logic the fault must lie in the last part of the program when it displays the icons. The desk top displays the screen saver until the appearance of the icons. Then the screen goes half white. When I choose a program or the browser the full screen reappears. Roanantelope.

Hi Starbuck, I have done as you suggested. Roanantelope.

Hi KenB I hope that you are able to open this file. Thanks. Roanantelope mbam-log-2012-07-15 (15-59-40).txt

Hope this makes sense to you. roanantelope Malware.pdf

Hi KenB, System restore does not help sorry roanantelope

Hi KenB Strange but I cannot find /documents data/ Only documents and settings. Thanks for your patience. roanantelope.

Hi KenB, Thank you once again. I did as you said but desktop.htt cannot be found. I searched the computer for it but it does not seem to exist. I think that you are on top of this fault now? Regards, Roanantelope

Hi KenB, Thank you for your help. I followed you instructions and found that the value was not 0. I changed it to 0. But alas, the fault remained. I rechecked the value and found that it had remained on 0. When the screen comes up at first it shows the icons with a blue background then it changes back to the half white screen. I am sure you are near the fault. I await any further help that you may have. Regards, Roanantelope.

Hi all, My trouble started when my grandson used cheat codes on Grand Theft Auto. When he logged out of the game I ended up with a half white screen. I have contacted GTA and they assure me that the game would not cause this problem. I have done all the usual things like try and work with properties on the main screen. When the screen runs up the desktop shows normal until the icons appear. This is when the screen turns half white. All my programs are normal and I get a full screen. System restore does not help. I do get an error: Line 65 char 1 error Object does not support the action. Code 0 file://C:/documents data/microsoft/internet explorer/desktop.htt Hope this helps, regards, Roanantelope. :(
