| | Icons acting weird I'm having a problwm with my desktop icons which are all black boxes. I'm not sure what caused this. If I right click on the desktop and click 'refresh' I can see the correct icons flash underneath then they go back to the black boxes. I have a folder on my desktop which I store hardly or unused icons. When I open this folder they also have the block box only this is where that small icon arrow is at the bottom left. When I change the size of the icons with the view tab they change from black boxes to some other icon and I can see the original icon. Whats Up? Dell E310 Duo Core Pentium 3.06 2 MB Ram with 2 MB Quick Boost Windows Vista (should you be surprised at this? lol)-No SP1 yet Visiontek ATI X1300 256 MB Video Card-8.4 latest driver. DirectX 10 Thank You |
