Vista - Doube Dipped

Doube Dipped

There were several security updated this afternoon that I downloaded and after it restarted I got double what I had before under the description of my desktop icons. (see below) Has anyone else had this problem? I hate to do a system restore but MS seems to seldom get updates right.

**UPDATE**
OK-I did another restart and they went away. When they installed the updates and shutdown/restarted is when I got the double text. After restarting again it's gone.

No but it added about 15seconds on my start up. I defraged and was good to go.

I have Diskeeper that automatically defrags but this evening I got that same double image under my icons again but, it looks a little different that last time-still it's not right, though and shouldn't be looking like this.

Re: Doube Dipped

Have you tried a restore point before the update?

Re: Doube Dipped

No, I haven't gone back and tried that yet. I did write MS about the problem and hopefully they'll respond. I should have just allowed one update at a time to see if there were going to be any conflicts. I've never had any update cause this strange reaction before. Bill Gates and his ongoing updates!! And, I nearly bought an imac...probably should have.

Re: Doube Dipped

Strange problem. I must admit that I haven't come across this personally. One thing you could try is to drag one of the problematic icons on your desktop. Does it drag as one icon, or does it separate even further?

Re: Doube Dipped

It's weird alright. I've ran across a multitude of different problems before but none like this. It's only on the desktop-no where else does this happen. I'll give that suggestion a try when I get home today. Wish I knew which update caused it as it would get uninstalled quickly.

Re: Doube Dipped

Is it possible that you've set an image of your desktop as your desktop background image?
