[Screenshot] What is wrong with my computer??

[SL65]

Why has the text in a few of the icons gone blue? :? It happened like a week ago and I don't know what triggered it? How can I get rid of it?

Thanks in advance ppl!

If i'm not wrong, it's blue when it's compressed or when the files are protected files. (and on remote hd's and so).

system restore

fixes almost all your problems

Start --> Accessories --> System tools --> System restore
just choose a date before the day it went wrong, you'll have to redo all setting changes you made since then (even whitin some programs), but it won't delete personal files

EDIT: i see your workbar is pretty blue as well, are u sure you didn't apply a blue skin, or maybe your monitor settings are to blue

Maybe you did a "Disk Cleanup wizard" which options to "compress old files"? There's a setting in XP which says "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color".

Either uncompress the folders, or go turn it off. Tools >> Folder Options >> View

Be careful with the System Restore...

You Mr. fnorre are right! I have rectified the problem.

Thanks heaps!
btw I didnt want to use system restore seeing as this started happening like a week ago...it would change to many settings

who cares does it affect ur performance? no.
i hav a few too.

Well, it does affect permorance as it has to decompress those files every time you want to use them. Program Files being compressed = very bad idea.

Yes, it isn't a good idea to let disk cleanup compress files. I used to let it do that years ago and it caused problems for me, so I never do it now.
