   Someone else was describing icons that couldn't be clicked on.  Yours =
does not sound like a video problem.

   Network drive issues could be a problem or limitation with the file =
server to which you are connecting.  The server needs to send change =
notifications requested by the client.  What kind of server is it to =
which you are connecting?

   The CD-ROM title update also depends on change notifications.  I'm =
suspecious that you claim this happens 100% of the time on all of your =
PCs.  Do you have some CD-ROM related software which you have installed =
on all of your PCs.

  That's not what i was describing -- you can move these icons that you =
just
  deleted, you can try to delete them again 9and you get a file not =
found
  error)  and as for the network drives that exhibit the same behavior, =
they
  just don't show up, and you know their connected because of a command =
line
  net use shows them.  As for the cdrom's never changing the disk name =
when
  you change the CD, you tell me. (probably something to do with autorun =
not
  turned on, but it should update when accessing the CD.)

  And also, this beahovior is exactly the same on all my PC's regardless =
of
  video.

     Why should there be artifacts?  The symptoms described were that =
the icon

  It's not a repaint problem as there are no artifacts, it's an update =
problem
  in explorer.

     What people are describing doesn't sound like a caching issue.  It =
sounds
  like a display driver problem with blts that manifests as repaint =
problems.
