Black Rectangles Top Left Of Screen
11 Answers
Hi. For the last month my computer keeps showing black rectangles at the top left of my screen, mainly on Facebook and Hotmail. Not sure how to post a copy of the page to show you (if someone tells me how I will).
Anyone know what could be causing this?

To take a screenshot, you need to press the button, then open Paint. Click on Edit (From the pull-down menu) and select Paste. You'll then need to save the image and then go to something like Photobucket and upload a link to the image (You can't paste a link to your hard drive). Then someone will be able to identify the problem and provide an answer.

Thanks. Hopefully this will work.

Presume you are using Google Chrome Web Browser. If so, check to see what the result is you use a different Browser such as IE or Firefox.
Check that you have up-to-date versions of your systems Graphics driver, plus latest Adobe Flash Player and Chrome versions. Check at each stage to see if the problem is fixed.
If the problem persists you could also try disabling Graphics Hardware acceleration. Assuming you are using Win 7, instructions for setting this are:
1. Choose Start > Control Panel.
2. Double click Personalization and select Display Settings.
3. Click Advanced Settings.
4. Click Change Settings on the Troubleshooting tab (If the option is available)
5. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None.
6. Click Apply and then click OK to accept the new setting and close the dialog box.
7. Click OK to close the Display Properties dialog box.
8. Restart Windows.
You can always undo this by redoing the above and sliding the accelerator bar to Maximum.

"Thanks Rojash, but can you tell me how to?"
Click on the three horizontal bars at top right, to get the menu, then select Settings
On the left, click Extensions
Uncheck the "Enabled" box next to each addon
Go and visit a site where you've had the problem. If it's no longer a problem, repeat the above process, enabling each extension in turn and then revisiting the site. If the problem reappears, you've found the duff extension (the one you enabled last) and can uninstall it.
