Please Help : DirectX affects icons
I have an Intel Celeron 2Ghz PC, 256 m DDR Ram, Intel
845GL chipset motherboard with 8mb Vram, Win ME and Directx9. I had directx9b previously. But once I installed directx9c, all the smaller icons (in Windows explorer menu tree, taskbar etc) have become corrupt. They are of peculiar shapes now and are black. However, other icons like desktop icons, Windows explorer folder icons etc are alright. I tried to re-install directx 9b but it's no good. Anyone please help me get rid of this problem. |
