Solve : white dot on desktop??

Answer»

its been bugging me for a while now...i dont know what is causing it.

this is this annoying small white dot on the desktop. i have TAKEN a screen shot of it and pasted below. the dot is there at all times UNLESS i click the show desktop button, then it vanishes. but if i have active windows it is there. the screen shot i took is without the icons showing, and its still there.



any ideas?that image is kind of small on here lol...here is link to the screenshot directly http://i37.tinypic.com/20r7i2s.jpg so you can see it in full resolution and the white dotBurnt out pixel...

Burnt out pixel...
No fix available.

cant be. it goes away when i minimize to desktop. it only shows itself when i load any tabs or programs backBurn pixel....

try to swap out your monitor for a test. See if the white dot shows up.

I can see the white dot in the image above.....Does that mean it's a burnt pixel?

In any case, try another monitor.it isnt a burnt pixel. its showing up on my 32 inch lcd as well...just did a test...its something to do with something, i just dont know what it is....

let me explain it again...

you know the "show desktop" button/tool that minimizes everything open? when i click that button it goes away. when i reopen the TAB(s) or anything that is minimized, the white dot comes back.Have you tried to do a system restore to before the problem started?nah i didnt do a system restore. i dont really like doing those, and i dont know how long the white dot has been there. i know its been on the system for a long time though....check your wallpaper settingsdude... it's just a white pixel dot.... just ignore it.If you don't want a background picture, CHANGE the color to blue.
