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?

Default Re: desktop icons

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 (?).
