Icons displaying wrongly on desktop/taskbar/system tray

hi Guys,

I have recently noticed that the icons on my desktop and system tray/ taskbar are all appearing as if they are in some low colour bit depth...

I remember having this problem before sometime ago when I was using Win98 with themes... I changed the theme and the problem resolved itself... however I'm not using themes here on Win2k...

I have tried re-installing the graphics card driver and the monitor driver which made any effect. I have also tried the screen resolution at several different sizes and altered the number of colours in all of them which haven't made any difference.

It is just the Icons which appear to be affected as programs and the wallpaper are unaffected...

I have a 19" Dell flatscreen CRT (re-badged Sony Trinitron) and am using an NVidia TNT2 M64 graphics card and have been running the NVidia management software...

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance for any help

Dan

Yup... the ugly icons happen to me too. But it doesn't matter. It usually happens when you don't shut down properly or when you restart the computer (but rarely).

check the device manager, make sure you dont have a yellow ! or a yellow ? next to any display items on the list, or anything else for that matter, something may not be fully installed
