Hi Everyone,
Every time I switch on my PC the Icons appear as the Normal size, then the Desktop screen goe's completely Black, then returns to normal with the Icons at a BIGGER size. Each time this happens (but not in standby mode)I have to go into screen properties and adjust the screen resolution back to 800x600 which doe's the trick until I switch off my PC, I believe that I've done nothing wrong to cause this problem, but at a loss how to maintain the Standard size Icons any other way.

johnna j, Right click your desktop, choose Properties, under the Appearance tab click the Advanced button, in the Item: narrow window use the drop down arrow button and choose(click it to hilite it) Icon and change the Size: to a smaller number, click OK/APPLY/OK. I use 800 X 600 Resolution and my Icon size is set at 27.

Your screen resolution changes each time you boot? Try reinstall the video card drivers.

Best

Thanks for your reply TUFENUF, I carried out your instructions and reset the Icon size indicator as you suggested but it has not corrected the problem. Thanks Again, johnna j

Your dealing with a complete Novice at this game, and I have not got a clue how to reinstall the Video card drivers, more importantly, I don't know what they are my friend, Thanks anyway, johnna j
