Would you happen to know how to tweak your icon cache? If not::
Increase Your Icon Cache
1) Click your
Start Orb
2) In the
Start Search area, type "regedit" and press
Enter.
--- •
This command will require elevation so hopefully you're the Administrator
3) If all branches are collapsed, direct yourself to "
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"
4) Single Click on
Explorer and you should see the following values:
--- •
Default
--- •
IconUnderline
--- • (And you MAY see
AlwaysUnloadDLL)
--- • (And you MAY hopefully see
Max Cached Icons... if so, go to step 6)
5) On the right box, under the
Default, etc., Right Click in the White Area, Select
New, then Select
String. Name this
Max Cached Icons.
6) Double-Click on the
Max Cached Icons string and set the
Value Data to a number between
100 -
4069 (Vista Default is only 500).
--- • Each number represents a storage "kilobyte", so for example, if the
Value Data is
500, Vista will save 500kb worth of Icons in the "
Icon Cache".
--- • But if you have the maximum number,
4069, Vista will save 4 MegaBytes worth of Icons which is an estimated ~3,000 more icons.
7) Close the
Registry Editor Completely.
8) Restart
Windows for the changes to take effect.
If this doesn't work, I'd recommend seeing if there's an update available for your Graphics Device.
Check For Device/Hardware Updates
1) Click your
Start Orb
2) In the
Start Search area, type "Device Manager" and press
Enter.
--- •
This command will require elevation so hopefully you're the Administrator
3) If all branches are collapsed, open
Display Adapters. A graphics card and/or video card should now be seen tree'd beneath
Display Adapters.
4) Right Click on the graphics card and click
Update Driver Software.
--- • If it can't find anything, or asks you to enter the disc, just
Google the name of your device, go to the Manufacturers website, and manually search for the latest version of your hardware/device.
Hope this helps.
