For some reason it was fixed instantly when I changed my "Windows display language" from English (Australian) to English (United Kingdom). Go figure!

Thanks anyway.

Hi,

My PC recently did an automatic update or something similar and now Excel crashes suddenly if I edit certain cells on spreadsheets. I have tried creating new spreadsheets thinking maybe the...

Seems to be fixed now. All I did was play around with the "keyboard and language" settings and rebooted and the flickering stopped. Thanks for everyones help.

Hi,
The USB icon has just started flicking up for a fraction of a second in the system tray. It happens randomly but at least once every 10 secs. There is no uSB plugged in. Apparently it started...

Hi all,

I did the in-place upgrade and that has fixed the problem. Not sure what the problem was, probably a bad key in the registry or broken shell extension. Hope it doesn't come back too...

Thanks AndreTen,

No when I do the sfc /scannow it doesn't find any issues.

I have now also uninstalled AVG and this did not fix the problem. Unless there are some components left in the...

I have done a system restore from on week ago. No good.

Thanks dalchina. I just figured out that the shortcut tooltip problem was that shortcut name was too long or my icon spacing too small. Once I reduced the name so it fits in two lines, just the...

Hi dalchina, I did try this customisation already and it will add the extra details to the tooltip, but the name still stays on the few shortcuts that are affected. I have also deleted and...

Thanks dalchina for your advice on Classic Shell. I will try it out and see how it goes.

About the desktop shortcuts, its more trivial, but annyoing. I have added an attachment.
