Icon redraw after playing mame games is redraw and not cache

[chuckkay]

After playing any games in Win xp, XP must redraw all icons and not use the cached icons, Win 98 never did this. Please help!

I dont understand what you mean ?

I think he means when he comes out of a game back to his desktop. It takes XP 15 seconds to get the desktop back in order.

I have the same problem and havent found a fix.

is that to do with monitor refresh rate ?

I bumped my refresh rate up to 85mhz and i dont seem to get that problem

For example, when I go to control panel, the icons draw one at a time until all are done. For some reason the icon cache is released when I play games. Normally, the icons appear instantly. I have increased the icon cache in the registry but it does not help.

Note : oops didnt see your above post , anyway the patch is here for anyone else needing it 🙂


Maybe your icon cache is too small. This patch will expand it.


Just unzip this reg file right click on it and choose merge .. reboot
