Check 'Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop' and then click 'apply'.

May I ask what kind of sound software you are using?
Then check if you have a virus or adware (i doubt it)
Finally tell me when this started to happen

Try system restore to and earlier date
(and just to be through)

Before this started did you install anything onto your computer (i.e. anything that WASNT verfied by Microsoft (not that ALL of them are bad)) because programs might interfere with one another if it does not meet the standards

well lets see... there was this link in a sig that had illeagal stuff on it.

well if u downloaded/installed it, uninstall it/delete it.

Did u try system restore to a time BEFORE when this started?

When I lower the hardware acceleration, everything about my computer is fine. However, my games still have that annoying displacement of lines all over the place.

Maybe your computer cant handle the game? Is your video card up to date?

Yes it can, my computer used to be able to play ALL my games before, and it still can, just with annoying lines in the way.

But anyway, I have recently encountered a problem on my OTHER older computer. Which really is just pissing me off to no end. It seems that all games that are "3D" display images that get garbled and messed up. My old computer was able to play Age of Mythology before, and now it can't display some important images during gameplay.

I tested direct 3D acceleration in dxdiag and I had failed one of the tests which was for Direct3D 7 interfaces. 8 & 9 interfaces were fine.

Check out this screen I took of a game of Age of Mythology on my older computer which I used to play Age of Mythology on ALL the time. The image during gameplay isn't frozen either, shadows and other figures are dancing around constantly for a good seizure evoking sight.

And heres another:

I'm not sure of a manual option to make this happen, but I wondering if it's possible to block even those pesky ads.

I have the latest version of FF and Windows XP. Hope you could help.

Actually Adblock only blocks video and sound, not pop-up windows. However, there is another plugin, called "no script" which prevents pop-ups that use java to bypass your blocker from springing up. You have to know which sites to allow/disallow though.

Did you:

A: Check your system hardware to make sure it's campatible?

B: Clear your temp files?

C: Turn your compter off when not using it?

D: Check the power module in your control panel while the game is running?

uh-huh.

What does this do?

Ok, the post I posted was messed a bit up.

Here's my problem (OMG backstory lol)

I suffed around the internet. Suddenly, I hit (by a mistake (YES IT WAS A MISTAKE (really it was))) a link that goes for a freaking hentai page. Auto download, blablabla, and I end up whit spyware. Then, my sister shuts down the computer (IT IS TRUE!).

Ok, got that?
anyway, a wierd thing happened. I couldn't log on. I have had spyware once before, but I could log on there.
Anyway the only thing to do was to reinstall the entire computer (awww).
Now, I got two problems (I havn't found any other problems... yet)

1: Something wrong whit my sound. My speakers works well. I can play music whit Media Player and I can listen to music on the internet. But I can't hear anything in games, or flash.

2: Usually problem. my internet is hell slow, also, sometimes it doesn't even work (some times? almost all times!).

Any advices?

and yes, I was on that K-lite codec pack thing. but it seems a little... messed to me...

thanks - ShadowCrush

I've figured out that there's something crazy going on. i CAN actually hear the sound/audio when I'm wachting or playin' a flash, and probably also when I'm playin' a game. but sometimes, I can't hear anything, not even in media player. NOTHING ABSOLUTELY! (spelled right?)

Go back to the codec pack site, it's not as messy as it appears, try again. I have given you a direct link to the codecs you need, all you have to do is download them and execute the exe. Easy as that. Direct link to K-lite codec pack.

you want me to download all of them? there's... let me see... 9 downloads... wouldn't the full pack be enourgh?

Start > Run > Type "devmgmt.msc" > Click on the + [plus] sign "Sound, video and game controllers"> Make sure that there are know little yellow circles with "?" [Question marks] next to the sound devices

I guess you mean a "!" mark... anyway, no, there's no such marks.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Double click on the Sounds and Audio devices icon > In the "Volume" tab press "Advance" (mid-way down) > You will now be faced with all the sound outputs > Make sure all of them set high and that the "Mute" box hasn't be checked (ticked)

ok this is the crazy part. The speakers work well sometimes, as I've said before. but when I go there, it says that there IS NO SPEAKERS INSTALLED!!!

2: Usually problem. my internet is hell slow, also, sometimes it doesn't even work (some times? almost all times!).

It's possible the your network adapter drivers are old, and need to be updated. To do this, follow the following instructions:

Start > Run > Type "devmgmt.msc" > Click on the + [plus] sign "Network Adapters"> Update all your newwork devices by right clicking it and pressing "update drivers"

It didn't worked. it says I already got the best. but my internet still doesn't works sometimes.

Also, I got problems whit installing games...

AWWW MAN!!! :(
