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.

Thanks for the help

everything is ok now
