    Small frozen square on my screen
    « on: August 08, 2009, 06:29:24 PM »
    Hello everyone,
    I recently noticed a small square on my monitor that appears to be just frozen there. I've never experienced anything like this before and wouldn't know of anyone that has had this kind of problem.
    I can still play games normally and doesn't appear to be screwing up my processes. If anything else it's just really annoying.
    I've tried rebooting, but it just moved it to a different area, this is new to me so I wouldn't know what else to try. It looks to be about a 1/2 x 1/2 inch square. I'm running Windows XP on a Dell XPS 400
    If anyone has any information on what it is, or knows how to get rid of it. Help would be truly appreciated.
    I can provide a screen shot if needed, or if further information is needed, I can give that as well

    Thanks in advance

        You can see it's in the lower right corner, right now it's showing that area of my desktop background, it changes often to something that runs over it

              Try run CCleaner....

              http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloading-slim

              I've seen this before and many times it will suddenly disappear on it's own

                I tried the CCleaner, still no luck, however it does have the tendency to disappear, but will return within minutes

                  Have you removed any program/software lately?....looks like part of a program might have stayed when you removed it.

                      i was talking to EeveeXIII. if he did that on his screen

                      and it's because the picture is linked to http://imagefra.me/
                      where he uploaded it...

                      just as if you clicked

                      it would take you to myspace
