Answer»

ok...
i have two major problems
1) just recently my monitor all the text on it is twitchy and moves around really hurts my eyes.
    ive already uninstalled the program i thought was causing it because the problem just came up after i installed it after i did that i restarted expecting it to be normal but it wasnt. when i start up in safe mode everything looks normal no twitching. also ive been reading other topics similar to my problem but people ask are there magnets or cell phones NEAR the monitor there arent... so ive decided to make my own post and ask how can i fix this?? ITS DRIVING ME INSANE!

2) ok ive been living with this problem on my computer for a couple of months now... there is this folder on my desktop and it will not GO away no matter what i try to do... ive tried to delete it in safe mode ive tried to scan it alot of stuff... but i need someone to help me with this issue please...

btw i have a windows xps 600 and ive never had problems with the monitor before this and i dont think it has anything to do with the monitor going out because its just the text twitching not images and it only happens in normal mode. Quote

Parts 1 and 2 continued from my first post

1) (continued) What happened: ok i downloaded a bunch of new skins for trillian and a couple of plug-ins i figured maybe thats what caused the twitching since it just came up after i installed them. well the trillian pro was a cracked version. im seriously thinking about reformatting. i have uninstalled the program and yet the twitching text continues... maybe the program wasnt the problem... im not sure what to do...

2) (continued) What happened: my friend is a modder of a game and i used to host a server for his mod and he sent me a folder containing the mod in a .rar folder and i unpacked it on my desktop (bad idea) because now i cannot remove, rename, or even open the stupid folder... so any help would be appreciated...Well, I think a good format and reinstall solves ALL Windows problems (for a while) so that would definitely get youfixed up, and warez are never a good idea, unless you like viruses and other problems (like this).

You can most likely delete the desktop issue with Killbox.

Whoknows what you have done with the bogus file causing the video issues.well thank you for your time, but the killbox thing didnt work got my hopes up though.
im going to reformat and if the problems are still there im going to kill myself... lol jk
but no really
this is really tickin me off because my antivirus software cant kill the viruses/trojans they say cant be removed im like what the crap...
and the directory is something wierd that is hidden like C:/System Volume Information.. idk some crap directory that i cant get to says access is denied the killbox said the same thing cant do it...Cracked versions and warez are great places to fully infect a machine with all forms of nasties...I have an Asus A7N8X2 Nforce Motherboard and think I need to change the cmos battery. Can I just remove and replace it without having to replace the BIOS. When BOOTING normally I get the message "BIOS checksum error--defaults loaded". Reseting the BIOS date etc manually and the computer WORKS fine. So I am assuming the cmos battery is flat unless anyone has a better idea?JS it's usually best to start a new topic so it can recieve the proper attention...
Yes it does sound like a bad CMOS battery to me.
About the size of a dime on the motherboard.
Take your time and be careful in there.
As always when working inside the case remove all power sources first and make sure to take anti-static precautions...
