Odd Desktop Refresh by DJeX on 03-21-2005 at 08:44 PM

Ok my XP just started to do this and it's driving me up a wall. Every once in a while the desktop icons disappear and then reload and my system tray icons reload.

Any one know what this is?

Run Task Manager, and then Run explorer.exe from the Run command.

@ DJeX: You sound like you have an explorer.exe crash on your hands, as mentioned above. What did you install recently?

LOL hell no, no service pack 2 for me, ever!. I'll never put that crap in my comp. Ermm I don't think exeplorer is crashing bacause I get no errors or warnings. It just happens. Humm havent installed anything latley.
