I recently had this problem on several new computers, although they have Win98.
I went to Control Panel/Display/Effects and de-selected 'show icons using all possible
colors'. I applied this setting, then went back and selected the 'show all possible
colours' setting again. Problem seems to have disappeared.

This is what worked for me:
In settings, select 256 colors and 640x480 resolution. Click OK. Accept the settings.
Go back to properties. Click OFF the "show icons using all possible colors". Click
OK and get out of there.
Go back to properties. Increase resolution and colors to wanted level. Click OK
to apply changes.
Then click ON "show icons using all possible colors."
It worked for me. Hope it works for all of you.

actually worked. Thank you so much.
