desktop icons

[Guest]

when i click my name to log onto my account, the icons that appear are white
squares with folded corner and three coloured dots on them. eventually they
correct themselves but it takes ages - they used to appear immediately before
the icons in the notification area loaded. is there anything i can do to
correct this?

Did you try the basic stuff, Virus/spyware scans? Maybe the HD needs to
be cleaned out, run a disk clean and defrag. Is this only with your user
account and is the system slow generally?

my pc is running excellently.i regularly defrag the hard drive with
'diskeeper'; there is no spyware,adware,viruses etc...
apart from programs i run on my pc,nothing is stored on the hard drive
(music,pictures etc... i store on external hard drive).
i can correct this problem (temporarily.it's then ok for 3/4 months then
they go white again before correcting) by resizing the icons/icon text then
restarting my pc but there must be a reason why it is happening (?).
