Hey there,

Im having trouble manipulating applications....the buttons to reshape and close a window do not work...i tried switching the view-style to windows xp but it just shows up as a blacked out X (close_ button) and wont allow me to do anything...

all i can do is alt f4...but the most problematic thing about is it that i cannot expand my internet browser!!! argh im stuck!!

Please help !

Thanks in advance

Hello ghostlyogre,
Some system specs would help, but for now try this.
If you are using an NVidia card, disable NView, or use selective disable.
Try reverting to Classic style folders and see if that does it.
Have you used any software to alter your icons or appearance of windows ?, if you have do a system restore to before that point.
Hope one of these nails it for you.
Fill in your specs and post your results, good luck.
