I have a question about All of my desktop icons just became corrupted - what do I do?:

- TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE - Not all my icons are corrupted only the "Start" icon is by fading out and being a glob of color. Would this fix work on this??

sounds more like a video problem... does the start button always look like that, or after a few hours of work, or...?

Yes it appears normal on boot but fades after the system is on a few hours. Some times it comes back on it's on without rebooting but will fade again.

hmmm... any other buttons/images do that? could try reloading the graphics card drivers, maybe see if there are updated ones available from the manufacturers website. do the same for the monitor. could also fiddle with the refresh rate.

I had a problem like this once and this is how I fixed it. Delete the shelliconcache FILE in the windows directory. Reboot and the icon cache will be rebuilt. There is a registry hack somewhere to increase the size of the cache.

I have this problem today with a PC in Win2000 SP4. 

Solution that NOT WORK for me : Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 132668 ;-(

;-)

Hope this note help someone.
