Weird problem with my laptop
My laptop decided to act up today, and I haven't done anything what-so-ever as far as installing and system changes go. Was just playing on the server with my main comp and when I got back I noticed that my theme was f-ed(see picture) and for some reason the soundcard driver didn't work either.
When I restart everything works fine, but after a little while it goes to crap again.
I even did a system restore(think that's what it's called) back to an earlier date when I had no problems, but the problem still persists.

Re: Weird problem with my laptop
wow, all the posts here so far were pretty useless, regarding the actual problem... :D
i dont really think i can do better, though. the only time ive experienced this is when i was using a program which didnt seem to support the aero theme of win7; my pc notified me and it got changed to the non-aero theme. thats not really your problem, but the most related i could think of...
anyways, it might be a problem with your graphics card. updating your driver should be the first, obvious thing to do...but ill let some people who know more about this kind of problem speak now

It's window XP, yes.
Well, I didn't notice it until now(you can even see it on the picture lol), but I still have the fake security center virus that I thought'd I had gotten rid of. : \
Don't know if it's related, but gonna try to get it removed once and for all.
Don't have an antivirus programmed installed actually, slipped my mind.
REALLY SMART MOVE, VIC!
Well, what changed are the problems I've already adressed. Popped out of nowhere.

I don't know, I just bought a new laptop instead. :o
I'm guessing it's some kind of virus that does it. Couldn't get rid of that fake security center virus after trying all possible recommendations from various websites, as well as reinstalling windows itself.
Might not be releated to the same issues, but you never know.

Re: Weird problem with my laptop
Came across something somewhat similar to your problem a year ago or so. Could've offered you some solutions but looks like its a bit late now.
