Over the past couple days some of my desktop icons show this icon: . These include: MSN Steam Adobe Reader Safari Quick Time Player Samsung PC Studio (which doesnt even work fullstop) And thats it.. Anyone know how to fix it?
Going by your icons, you're probably using Windows XP or older. Older versions of Windows do this when they get low on memory. Refresh your desktop. Just right-click on the desktop and choose Refresh. Windows Vista and Windows 7 actually off-load the screen display to the Graphics card so have less issues with this.
Thats the thing, im on Windows 7(64bit) and i have plenty of space.. HDD: (:c) 38.2GB Free And 4GB Ram, My Ram Never hits over 2GB unless im gaming. I also tried refreshing my desktop, which didnt work..
If you're on Windows 7 then the path the shortcut is pointing to is most likely invalid. Did you move icons? Uninstall applications? Anything of the sort? I have all custom icons on my desktop using PNG files and haven't experienced this in Windows 7.
The only thing i uninstalled was photoshop cs4 because i kept getting an error, reinstalled and it worked perfect (64bit version), but i have no idea when the icons went of if they went after i uninstalled. But even some icons have changed like Call Of Duty 4, instead of the star with a number 4 on it, it isnt..its the call of duty 4 modern warfare picture (http://dev2.safenetdata.com/~safenet/images/call-of-duty-4-modern-warfare-box.jpg , Without the PC stuff at the bottom)
