I have ordered a new graphics card which should be here next week. Had a good look through ATi Control Centre but everything is already set to Max Quality. The problem seems to have spread to file type icons. Done a full system virus scan etc but nothing was picked up both with NOD32 and Kaspersky.

You don't have it (heavens help you if you do ). It's something else ( I don't know what). GL What else can it be?

spacesurfer, cheers for the reply. Yeah the ugly black shadows under the folder icons plus the image quality of the folder icons... They look like tiny icons that have been magnified x100. Very pixilated. Yes I used Windows Update to get SP3 and I have checked for video card driver updates but I am already running the latest (Which I installed after the SP3 update) and no my video card uses ATi drivers. This optional Intel Video Driver... How can I uninstall it? I had a look in Add/Remove Programs > Show All Updates but I don't see anything in there about Intel Video Drivers.

Hi all, I've posted this problem in a forum I regularly use but was directed to here as we cant figure out what's causing this problem or how to fix it. To save time I have copied + pasted some of the thread. Now I am running a custom theme but not using any third party utilities. I have patched uxtheme.dll successfully and the custom My Computer, Network Places icons were done though Desktop > Customize. I have tried reverting back to the default Windows XP theme and removing XP Service Pack 3 but the problem persists. Hoping someone here can help fix this.
