Geforce 2 MX Win98 Icons

[chuck]

I am having problems with my icons in windows98, half of them are scrambled looking, or blacked out. Im wondering if its this Jaton 3DForce video card ( Geforce 2 MX 200 32mb ).
Has any one els had this problem?
I just installed the new nvidia drivers that came out 10-11-01 but still no luck, Im out of ideas.

thanks for any help,

You might want to try rebuilding the ShellIconCache (delete the "ShellIconCache" file and let Windows re-create it automatically when it restarts). To delete this file, use the following steps:

Restart Windows in Safe mode (Restart your computer, press and hold down the CTRL key after your computer completes the Power On Self Test (POST), and then choose Safe Mode from the Startup menu).

Use Windows Explorer to delete the ShellIconCache file from the Windows folder. To do so, right-click the ShellIconCache file, and then click Delete.

NOTE: You need to be able to view hidden files to see the ShellIconCache file. To view hidden files in Windows 98, click Folder Options on the View menu in Windows Explorer, click the View tab, click Show All Files, and then click OK.

Restart your computer

Using Registry Editor, add the Max Cached Icons string value with a value data of 500 to the following registry key...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | Software | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Explorer

...and then restart your computer. The "Max Cached Icons" value data range is between 100 and 2000. The default value is 500.
