File Icons unrecognizeable
File Icons unrecognizeable
(OP)
Just set up my new XP Pro machine xeon 3.8 2gbram Nvidia 3450/4000 with the latest SW drivers running 1600 x 1200 32bit color. I have a problem with my file icons, they are barely recognizable look like very low resolution with a grey background and no little if color. Is there a setting that may fix this?

Have you tried different (lower) screen resolutions?

Does it have its own set of drivers?
Do you need to update your new BIOS for that monitor?

Is the CPU fan working?
Has heatsink thermal grease been applied properly ... or at all?
Has the system been overclocked?
Has this system been fitted with copper heatsink shims? Some of them don't fit properly & actually cause overheating.

As far as the corrupted file Icons go, they are still a problem. My video board is Nvidia Quadra FX 3450/4000 SDI The video drivers I downloaded from SolidWorks approved driver list. I chose the Quadro FX 3450/4500 6.14.10.7756 10/17/2005. I ran the system and video diagnostics tests built into the Dell F12 boot interupt.
Just to reiterate, my file Icons in windows explorer are barely recognizeable, lack of detail and color regardless of the resolution I set my video at. The SolidWorks History tree looks OK, but icons in file dialog boxes look like the screen shot below.
The 1st screen shot shows my bad icons from my new system. the 2nd screen shot shows the same icons from my old system.
