Help Me ):
I dont know what to do! I have a vista and I just got this computer. I started playing maplestory and my desktop icons turned into black squares or had little black squares on them on the little left corner. As I kept playing, the problem was fixed. Although, when I click on start up, from Accessories down, the icons are black squares. How do I fix this?

shootiesbuu, Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't correct the icon problem do the following:
Right click your Desktop, choose Properties, under the Settings tab change the Color Quality from 32 bit ro 16 bit, click Apply/OK. Now go back and change the Color Quality from 16 bit to 32 bit, click Apply/OK. This will rebuild the iconcache.db file and may correct the problem.
