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
