I have a square box in the middle of my computer that says compaq

Good morning everyone, Hello my name is Jacqueline smith and I have a problem  with the square box in the middle of my computer that says loading compaq and it want go away. I can go on the internet but this box is the middle of the screen. Can someone please help me take it off, I would surely appreciate it?   

Hi jacky263,
Does this happen everytime you restart your computer? Do you know when the box first appears?
It sounds like a process or background application is getting hung up somehow and is not closing.
If you know the application that generates the box, you can go into Task Manager (press CTRL + ALT + DEL and then select "Task Manager"). Once in TM, see if there are any applications or processes running that are associated with the Compaq box on the screen. Then end the application or process.
Once you find the application causing the issue, you can try to keep it from loading at startup using MSCONFIG (from the Run box on the Start menu).
Let us know how it goes.

  • Why do I all of the sudden have a small box in the middle of my screen it is asking for something but I cannot do anything with the page?

    The box has a gray bar and two tiny little check boxes in the middle of it. I check the post and nothing. I cannot move the page I cannot move anything as the page is frozen and waiting for me to do something with this box. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same stupid box comes up in the middle of the page.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • I have a search bar in the middle of my homepage that dosen't work

    a firefox searchbar in the middle of my homepage dosen't work.

    Hi,
    You can try deleting '''chromeappsstore.sqlite''' in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder] after exiting Firefox.
    To open the profile folder via Firefox: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Show Folder'''.
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder & Files]
    If the problem persists, you can try to Reset Firefox and start afresh.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • I have an iPad Mini which after being on charge has now frozen with the iCloud Backup box in the middle of the screen which in spite of pushing OK many times will not go away or unlock the screen or iPad

    I have an iPad Mini which after charging has now frozen with the iCloud Backup text box in the middle of the screen and OK 'button' registers when tapped but remain locked with nothing operating. It is fully charged.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • After i upgrded to 4.0 i no longer have the search box in the middle of screen. is this correct?

    on the home page of firefox, i no longer have the search box in the middle of screen. my whole screen is blank except for the menu bar.

    You still have the option of using the slideshow feature in the Photos app.  It's not in the lock screen anymore, but it is stll available there.

  • White box in the middle of my page??

    'm using Dreamweaver CS4. When I design my page, I have changed the background settings to black. However, in EVERY browser I have tested the site in, the page shows up with black on the left and right sides of the page but all of my content is in a big white box in the middle. How do I change that part, or get rid of it? I've got the coding for the black background in the page properties under CSS and HTML.

    Code? Page link? Can't help unless we see what's going on. It might just be that your container table/div has a white background assigned to it.

  • How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

    How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

    Hi MrsMoosie,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
    If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Regards,

  • Can i have a check box in the hierarchical tree in the icons place, urgent!!! please

    Hi,
    I'am working on the Hierarchical Tree structure which should have three levels, I need to have a check box in the place of the icon & if i select a node that node & the child nodes should get selected.
    After this when i say move selected ( i'am trying to use picklist class also) the entire checked tree has to move to the display area to the right & should display as tree structure & after this if i save then the checked records which are moved to another text area should get saved!!
    How to achieve this? I have the tree structure ready but the check box part is the worrying factor! & then moving the checked records to the right using picklist class is the second problem & finally saving records to database.
    Any help in this regard will be deeply appreciated:)
    If check box is not possible then i will have to look at other methods, will the tree structure allow checkboxes????
    Thanks
    Mahesh

    No the tree will not allow checkboxes

  • I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?  Using iOS 10.7.5

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    I have received a notice that my forms central account has lasped due to being unable to charge credit card.  I have changed cards and will update, but do not want to pay a full subscription since Forms is ending.  I am in the middle of a process that will end in a month.  What do I do to be able to finish this process???

    It is a bad situation. Your credit card expired but you cannot change it because FormsCentral is retiring.
    Please consider moving your forms to JotForm right away. It takes a few minutes to do it using JotForm new Import Wizard:
