Notice the volume control right in the middle of my screen. Its always on top whenever I open a new window or anything.

I hope someone can help. I dont know if it has anything to do with that but my computer is running REALLLLYY slow for some reason unknown to me. :nervous:
 
This has happened to me before, no big deal. just click on the volume control level (in the "adjustment line")

If that doesn't work, i dont know anything else
 
umm... had you considered a reboot?

Sometimes I get weird menus like that hanging out on my desktop for no reason. It usually occurs when I have some CPU intensive operation going on and decide it isn't being worked hard enough, so try and launch something from the taskbar :dunce:.

Usually adjusting something in the window fixes it, but a reboot never fails

Indeed, that seemed to fix the problem, now I just have to figure out why the fricken thing takes so long to start up.

I suggest, if you have the time, to follow the instructions here (just ignore his hate for Firefox :P):

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/OptimizeXP.html


If you haven't got the time, just do all of the latter instructions that actually help speed things up, like some of it could be to do with programs that boot-up in the background on start-up that you don't know about.

I done this a month or two back and has sped this PC up to nearly as fast as I remember it years ago.

I do suggest avoiding CCleaner though, as it seems to screw up Firefox a little. I know this as I ran it on another PC a week ago, and the same problem starting happening. Firefox will occasionally freeze and crash for no apparent reason while you're typing a message. Reinstalling Firefox doesn't get rid of it either. :indiff:

Sweet deal, I'll look into that when I get home from school. My laptop isnt even that old (like 2 years) and it takes sooooo long for it to boot up. Its really annoying.


Edit: I'm pretty sure that my effingham virus scan is whats taking so long to boot up. *Shakes fist*
 
Wow! That CCleaner just freed up over 150 mb of junk from my hard drive. This website fricken rocks. 👍

Yet another edit: over 280mb removed from my pc. +rep for G.T.
