My Desktop (thumbed) : [img_thumb]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/5800/desktopik.png[/img_thumb] It seems when ever I open a game or folder, the icons just go crazy and end up being exactly [b]not[/b] what they are supposed to be. Specs: Operating System : MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3 CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @ 2.66GHz 51 °C - Wolfdale 45nm Technology RAM : 3.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz (6-6-6-18) Motherboard : Dell Inc. 0RY007 (Socket 775) Graphics : DELL S1709W @ 1024x768 - 512MB ATI Radeon HD 3450 (Dell) Hard Drives : 488GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKS-75A7B2 (IDE) 35 °C Optical Drives : TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653F Audio : ATI Function Driver for High Definition Audio - ATI AA01 Any fix?
restart
Sounds like an issue with "Thumbs.db" on your computer that's a database file that cache's your thumbnails. Try restarting or/and turning off the cache: [LIST=1] [*]Click [I]Tools[/I] (next to File, Edit, View at the top of the screen) [*]Click [I]Folder Options[/I] [/LIST] After doing so the “Folder Options” window will open up. [LIST=1] [*]Click on the [I]View[/I] tab [*]Check off the circle next to [I]Do not cache thumbnails[/I] [*]Click the [I]Ok[/I] button [/LIST] After doing so restart see what happens (if you haven't restarted already.) You could also run Disk Cleanup and check Thumbnails in there, run a cleanup and see if that does anything.
chkdsk /r In run box
