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...

ok my first question to you is going to be...is your background picture covering the whole screen??? if so go to control panel/display then click on desktop tab then click on the colour bar pick your prefered colour...play around with that colour var and you might have a better idea what im on about

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

yer im running xp

and no none of the boxes in customize desktop are clicked

even if i change the background to one of the standard ones it's still like that

and i dont have Performance and Maintenance in my control panel :D

any other ideas guys??

OMG YES!!

I GOT IT

hahaha

in case if any one is wondering you go

right click my computer > properties > advanced > settings (under performance) > and then you tick use drop shadows.

thanks everyone for your help, honestly appreciate it a lot :D

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
