Gadgets on the move

BigBlue1

Banned
In Win7 HP I have noticed the gadgets I have on the desktop move to a clump on the left top side after a reboot. I have dual monitors and both are 1920 x 1080, one monitor and one TV. I have tried a few suggested fixes like refreshing the desktop view, running some command prompts and removing the sidebar, but none have helped.
Is there anyone that can help with this annoying problem?

Thanks
BB1
 
Looks like there isn't anyone here that knows much about windows, so I sent you a PM with some things to try. Good Luck, let me know if it works for you.
btw, love the siggy, the oct 31 dec 25 one made me smile. It probably goes over the heads of a lot of folks. :)
 
Did this start happening to your setup recently? As you say that you noticed, but I've no idea if your setup underwent any software or hardware changes before this happened or if it was functioning properly in the first place.

May be irrelevant, however try with a single monitor setup and see if the same thing happens first. Also try having gadgets and icons on both monitors/screens and see if they move to one of the two after a power cycle.

Could you please also list your full specifications? Including those of the displays you are using? As it could be due to the way the displays are connected and/or connected as well. Or they could simply have incompatible specifications causing conflict. Who knows

Who did I insult, all the people that answered the post? There was no one. It sat unanswered for days, so I helped out, insulted by that? Sorry.

Just because nobody replied, everyone does not know much about windows? As Tom and SuB always say, users are free to post whenever they can or whenever they like. Nobody owes anyone anything.
 
Could have been that there were threads where people were more experienced and the OPs thread ended up not being noticed as it wasnt on the recent thread list.
 
Exactly. People rarely look anywhere besides recent threads

Someone agrees with me :o

Could you please post what you PM'd on the thread so people who are more than willing to help will be able to see what has already been tried. It will also be beneficial for future viewers that experience the same issues (assuming they dont start a new thread instead :D )

As Newbie_NS810 stated can you please post any advice in the thread, this way it helps the rest of the community out.

Also this questions is specifically aimed at gadgets on Windows (which I killed with fire since Vista introduced them), not everyone uses them. Your attitude is going to get you a timeout if you don't start getting along.

Why not post your things to try for all to see. I doubt OP is the only person in the world with the same issue.

The reason will be because she has a bit of a reputation here, and not many people are likely to want to help because she's pissed them off...

You haven't been here long but you're not making good impressions fella.
 
There seems to be a lot of hostility on these boards lately. Just look at tripp's thank you topic. tripp offered to buy the guy a drink as a gesture of good will. You don't see a lot of that these days but someone sees it as killing the poor guy from liver damage. My rant over.

On topic, I agree with Warchild, Suggestions and/or solutions should be posted publicly so other members who have the same issue can try it too.

Agreed, otherwise what's the point of having the forum in the first place...
Posting 'I sent you a PM with the answer' helps, literally, no-one
 
I think Eclipse Computing PC and BigBlue1 are one and the same? They both bring hostility to the forums and don't seem to want to get along with anyone.

Not surprised at all. They've caused a lot of problems and arguments so it's a good thing he/she is no longer part of this community. I hope he/she stays away for good.
