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

      If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?

      Yeah, I did some research and found out that some things are different.

      Makes sense, thanks! Consider me very impressed. And I very much appreciate the effort in documentating all of it. You'd be surprised, or maybe not, how many people this reaches who search for things online. Anyways, I shall continue to read all of it, understand maybe a quarter, and hope that some of it sticks if I ever end up in a situation where it's relevant

      'Did' work on them is more accurate ~ on the R31 Skyline forum, you can spot me as 'Solder'... I've written quite a bit about the 4R01 boxes there, and I ended up reverse-engineering the older TCU type operations, so we could fudge a custom TCU to pull off other tricks...and like all things, when you do it a lot, see the failure patterns, have to find parts etc etc, your head ends up filled with whys and wherefores... there was a reason Nissan went with these in more than 60models over 16+ years... all in all, the JR401E based design is an interesting study, as Nissan changed things over the years in a never ending battle against them lunching on themselves <grin>...by the time the RE4R01A rev.C came out (often referred to as RE4R01B), they'd more or less perfected the design...
