all of the sudden my icons look choppy, and have white backgrounds for the text... what happened to my nice clear ones?!?!

anybody have any reg hacks for me? im seriously disgusted by it!

thanks


** this is on my desktop by the way**
 
Right click desktop > Arrange Icons By > Lock Web Icons to Desktop.

Make sure this is UNchecked.
 
If that dont work, right click My Computer, properties, advanced, visual effects settings, made sure use drop shadows for icon lables..... is checked.
 
yeah, it was the locked icons.... thank you!!!! i dont know how they got locked... oh well.. im just glad its back to normal!!
 
I have experience too, it can be either one. :p

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???

Rest in peace my friend, been trying to find you and finally did in the worst way imaginable.
