Re: "right click" and desktop



Hi Jean,

Check with Gateway for proper documentation, but there should be a jumper on
the motherboard to disable the onboard video when an AGP card is installed.
This should resolve any conflicts between the two.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. It was, as you said, a problem with a context menu
entry... Well, sort of...
I forgot to tell that this was occuring on a Gateway system. I finaly
realise that this kind of system has a non documented problem. When using
a video card plugged into the AGP slot instead of the integrated graphic
on the motherboard, it's BIOS has problem to choose wich video device it
has tu use. Finaly, when I removed the video card from the AGP slot and
used the integrated graphic on the motherboard, the problem was gone.
I must also appologise. It's the first time that I use a news group for a
problem. I tought each subject had different reader. so I posted my
question on several subject... Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks again!
Jean Russenberger.

Hi, usualy, when you right click on the desktop, you get a "box" where
you can select "Arrange icons by >", "properties" and "refresh", among
other things. Unfortunatly, this feature, on one of my PC, leads to an
"explorer error" and it has to shut down asking me if I want to send a
repport on this error to Microsoft. After that, DrWatson gets also an
error and ask me the same thing (if I want to send an error repport).
Then, the process freezed up and I loose the task bar and all icons on
the desktop.
I have to press the "ctrl-a-delete" to get the Windows Task Manager and
use it to restart the PC.
I tried the "restore" feature on Windows, but it didn't "restore"
anything, stating that there was nothing to restore.
Can anyone help me on this?
