Hello all, I am having problems with steam on my new computer. It's running Windows 7 Home Premium on 64-bit.
Whenever I click on someones name to chat, nothing physically shows up on the screen. It says it opened on the task bar on bottom, but whenever I click it still, the chat never comes up. Also, Whenever I right click "steam.exe" I cannot view it's properties, it does the same thing!
It's only recently until I started downloading stuff that it has been happening. I downloaded winrar, Blockland, mincecraft, paint.net, and google chrome after I downloaded steam.
It's really pissing me off that i can't use the basic things such as chat. Also, I cannot seem to run blockland's Map 2 DIF and-
Well I just tried right now again and It seems like I can't view the properties on Blockland or Minecraft either, but I can with any other program.
The task bar symbol of "my files" lights up and flashes, same with steam, and when I click it, I can see everything, but I cant click it or drag it to the screen.
Trust me, I have tried everything. Shutdown, restart, messing with taskbar options, control panel, etc.
This one guy on Windows 7 forums told a guy having a SIMILAR problem to type this in command promp-
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f
It worked for a day for me, but not anymore. Also, I have searched everywhere, no one seems to have the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, so appreciated that I will gift you a steam game of AROUND $5, give or take $2 maybe. huh?
NEW INFOI found the reason! Apparently there is an extra 2 inches of space outside the right of my monitor? I moved my mouse outside the view of my monitor and everything is out there. I was dragging and dropping, I got my steam chats out and property tabs and everything, although I have no clue why? For some pop-ups, they fly outside the screen where I physically cant see them, even maximizing it doesn't work.
My screen resolution is 1600x900 just so you all know?
Yes I tried changing resolution, that's not the problem. There is an imaginary realm of missing tabs OUTSIDE of my monitor.
Also, I tried googling, can't find a problem similar to mine.
Look at picture-
