[help] Windows Icons

The Desktop and File Type icons keep reseting back to the default windows icons on every log off, restart, and right after I exit a game. What's the deal?

#73529

how did you change your icons? did you change the shell32.dll?

are you using the nvidia forceware drivers?

#73530

I changed them with IconPackager and the windows desktop properties, I only have the folder, file types, and desktop icons modded.

#73531

uh oh... I use forceware... does mean they will go back on me?

I don't know, hope not! It's so annoying.

#73538

some people, not all, seem to be having problems with the forceware drivers: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...opic=113266&hl=

i myself had the problem of desktop icons reverting back to default when using forceware, but since i installed the omega drivers, i haven't had any problems. that's why i was asking if you were using those drivers.

#73548

Ah, sorry, I got confused.

I'm on the nVidia 52.16 drivers.

And what are these Omega drivers, now?

#73553

well yeah, the 51.16 drivers are the forceware drivers (they're called forceware now, not detonators) and they cause these icon problems (among others).

omega drivers are 3rd party drivers, optimized for either quality or performance. they're actually better than the official nvidia drivers. check out this thread: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?s...?showtopic=8244
