G+_John Nooncaster Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have a friend who told me of times when these random characters would appear on his Asus laptop. They appear to float over the window. Any thoughts as to the source of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Travis Hershberger Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Looks like it's a missing font trying to be used as the text display in those tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rich Sobocinski Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Nope, I'm sure it's the NSA trying to send you secret messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Gert Brand Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Asus is actually a company from Taiwan, so it would make sence if the characters on the screen is Chinese. This indicates to me that it is not the OS itself or even the Anti-Virus(if an English version is being used), but something with the PC. Maybe something wrong with the default PC software from Asus that is doing something weird in the background. Force close all the Asus software using Task Manager and test. The area these characters are displayed seems to be some screen software or screen monitor giving a warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Seems like the NSA to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 So what have you tried? A few things to check: can you select the text at all? Does a similar task show up in Task Manager? Does it appear while on a specific page or just any page? Have you tried another browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_A Alto Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Does it do it if you boot an OS from a CD or USB drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
