Re: [H] Odd Windows 7 issue
I've had this happen on three different computers now. One had hard drive issues, the others didn't. If I have time, I may run a test on a known good computer. So far the only solution has been nuke and pave. Thanks for all the suggestions. On 24/09/2019 5:23 p.m., Joe User wrote: You checked the drive for damage? On 9/24/2019 3:09 PM, Thane K.

Re: [H] Odd Windows 7 issue
I have seen this only once in Windows 7 Pro. I used: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2635447/how-to-resolve-an-issue-where-all-windows-7-desktop-icons-have-become This worked for us. The IconCache file gets corrupted and it created this problem. Tim Lider Red Belt Arnis de Mano https://www.facebook.com/CardenasArnis -Original Message- From: Hardware On Behalf Of Thane K.
