Win 7 - Desktop Icons black out

I love Win 7 better than Vista, but on my desktop, most of the icons are partially blacked out. The icons are blacked out from the bottom left corner up 2/3 of way and to the right 2/3 of the way, rest is visible. They all work okay, but its a pain to have to look around. Only other problem is my CA virus software doesn't report properly to win, but I can live with it for now.Thanks to all that reply, Bob.

 

I'm back after two weeks of living with the situation... Half the time when I boot up, the icons are blacked out, half time, they are not. When I change the resolution size of my screen, things clear up, but I always go back to the 1440 x 900 size. I guess it must be the video driver.

 

Is this only the desktop icons?

Perhaps a little tweak of the icons on the desktop would help. Did you know that you can change this at will and rather easily, if you have a scroll mouse.

This just another twist on what Steve has already described as an ongoing problem he has learned to live with.

 

Update your video drivers to the latest Win7 version available from the video chipset manufacturer (ATI, nVidia, Intel, etc).
