It's a bit off topic but i thought one of you guys could help.

All the items on my desktop are highlighted when they're not selected.

Take a look at the pic and you will see what i mean.

If anyone knows how to fix this please tell me.

Cheers

Your icons are not selected, your Desktop icons are locked.

To remove the background colour from around the text right-click your Desktop > Arrange Icons By > Lock Web Items on Desktop.

This should solve your issue.

tried it mate didn't work but thanks.

or it could be because you have desktop items on your desktop...

if you go to Display Properties --> Desktop -> Customize Desktop -> Web

do you have anything listed there? Are any of them ticked on?

went to that and it had my current home page listed and some other random thing. i deleted the other one and they were both unticked.

i ticked and unticked them but still didn't work.

any other ideas guys??

What OS are you running? WinXP?

What do you have as your background? A bmp?

Just to confirm if you go click on Customize Desktop

and go to the Web tab nothing in the webpages list is ticked on

and the Lock Desktop items box is also not ticked?

Maybe try changing your background image to a BMP is if isn't one already...

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.

3. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Performance.

4. Click to clear the Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop check box, click Apply, and then click OK two times.

5. Close Control Panel

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
