hmmm..I got a similiar problem. but I have no idea how to fix this.
Bascially my system had a sudden crash, partially due to forcing too many 'alt -tab' to check on my various messages and such from playing CM 01/02 GDI mode.
Only problem for me now is that, after the system crashed, my desktop went a little screwy..
The thing for me is that my icons now seems to be on a 256 or 16bit colors!
I used to use a 32bit color system which i still am using for my desktop, but nothing switches the colors of my icons back. Its quite a major eye sore.
My system configuration is
Duron 750
Abit KT-7/A Mobo
512 SD RAM
Gforce 2 MX 400 32
Win 2k Pro (SP2 etc)
Screen Res : 1024 x 768
32bit color settings
75hz refresh rate
All drivers are updated to the latest, or at least i think it is.
Anyone has anyways to fix it its driving me up the wall that I am unable to fix it and i have tried all sorts, resizing, changing of color bits, rebooting...etc...anything which i have thought off except for re-installing windows.
help!
