System(s).

No, I didn't say I see it all the time, just a LOT. I don't know what
causes it.
>I'd not be surprised if the snap or AS/400 have problems. Windows =
2000
sends notifications fine.
I don't have a problem on Win9x machines this way, it sends the
notifications just fine.
> You have no CD-ROM software?
Some of the PC's yes, some no, and not the same version on any.
>These are CD-ROMs or CD-R/W?>
Both, but mostly CDRW. Even have a DVD and a DVDRW.
>If the latter, don't you have software to burn CDs?
On the ones with rw, yes, but none of them have that active crud (tray =
icon
that asks you what to do when you put in a blank CD) or the direct cd =
type
stuff.
>For that matter, are you using inbox or non-inbox drivers
In box on all but one PC. (newer video card than what's in the box on =
my
main PC at home.) Supposedly certified though.
>Again, there must be some reason why you claim to never see title =
changes
while everyone else does not.
If I knew I'd tell you why. (and I doubt EVERYONE sees title changes, =
I
don't have that strange a config.)

I'd not be surprised if the snap or AS/400 have problems. Windows =

That's kind of part of the symptom I'm seeing, except you get an =

you double click on them. (file not found)

Windows 200 Server, Snap server, and our AS/400, they all do it.

Nope, but like I said, I have autorun disabled.

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 =

net use shows them. As for the cdrom's never changing the disk =

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 =

video.

Why should there be artifacts? The symptoms described were =
that the
icon
images were visible but clicking on them had no effect. That is =
an
indication that there is no icon there. There are ways to =
distinguish
by
opening another window and dragging it across the front of the one =
with
phantom icons or minimizing then maximizing.

It
sounds
like a display driver problem with blts that manifests as repaint
problems.
