I have a problem with the icons on my desktop (+others around my computer). They seem messed up, and weird. I'm on a flatscreen monitor at 1280 x 1024 resolution. I think it might be because of the resolution change that came about when I got this monitor (in October). I've had this problem since then, but I finally decided to ask here cos I knew I'd get a professional answer. Here's an example of a messed up icon: ![]() Any help is appreciated, thanks. ;D |

Its probably set on Classic mode. Right Click on desktop and set the theme back to Win Xp. |

It goes like that for me when i boot up in safe mode.. but i don't think it's that situation for you. Hmm. I found this though.. Dunno if it'll help.. Right-click on your normal desktop. >- Click "Properties" >- Click "Settings" >- Click "Effects" >- Make sure that "Display icons in all possible colors" is turned on. >- Now, Select the OTHER monitor >- Click "Effects" >- Make sure that "Display icons in all possible colors" is turned on. > |
