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

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
