Icons

[microsvc]

I have asked many questions here recently (thanks for everyone's help), and I
finally GAVE UP fixing Vista, and reinstalled it for the 4th time. It just
commits suicide whenever it wants. I even replaced my
Motherboard/drives/video hardware and it still suicides out.

I reinstalled Vista, this time I also installed SP1. After a day (today)
many of my desktop and start menu and explorer icons show either the default
windows UGLY icon or that icon on TOP of the normal icon. I had this
installed one day and already issues come, this one is visual.

Thanks for all your replies.

Did you know that doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting
a different result is a sign of insanity?

Maybe the OS gods are trying to tell you something?

Hi,
Resetting the icon cache should restore the correct icons.
1. Right-click a blank area of the desktop, select Personalize
2. Select Display Settings.
3. In the Colors field, select a different color depth. For example, if the
current color depth setting is Highest (32-bit), click Medium (16-bit).
4. Click Apply.
5. Change back to the original Color setting.
6. Click Apply.
7. OK your way out.

For what? Did I ask for help with drawing?
