Like, helloooo there guyz, I'm having some prob with my computerrrrrr. Everytime I open a window file, or exel, or word and then close it, it's like the whole window refreshes every time. Meaning all the desktop ikons and files dissapear exept for the background and comes back in 4 seconds later. Very annoying, I tried spyware cleaning several kinds, tried msconfig, tried virus scanning, so far everything is clean. I also did a system restore to where things were OK, like oh my god I have about 1.25 GB of ram, like I don't get it. Am I missing something. Tanx.?!

How many icons on desktop? And, whats running in the background? KPACHbIЙ OKTIABR

déjà vu Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like “Can anyone help me?”

I have the same problem ,, I've ,however edited my registry ,,, To unload DLL's quicker for, quicker response of ending programs and freeing up the memory... I have 1 gig of ram myself ,,, I have also edited the registry to increase the desktop heap settings from 3mb to 8mb of memory,,,This helped but still ,,, does it ,, I find it a minor inconvenience ,,, they reload quickly,, No Major crash errors and Event viewer shows no signs of problems... If you haven't backed up your registry from any edits you've made I wouldn't worry about it,,, MSI 845e mb 768 mb ram and a p4 2.4n running xp ,win 2000 advanced server and win 98 SE alot to learn and I know so little !!!!

I forgot to mention I only have 66 desktop shortcuts. !!! and maybe a total of 60 processes running with memory usage usually at about 500 mb , LOL.!!! but seriously ,,, MY machine runs fine otherwise,,, MSI 845e mb 768 mb ram and a p4 2.4n running xp ,win 2000 advanced server and win 98 SE alot to learn and I know so little !!!!

Increase Icon Cache #121 Scroll down to the number 121 and try applying that patch,,, No quarantee that it'll work,,, but,,, for my machine so far, in trying some things it has worked,, MSI 845e mb 768 mb ram and a p4 2.4n running xp ,win 2000 advanced server and win 98 SE alot to learn and I know so little !!!!
