The display settings are at 32bit color and 1680x1050 resolution. The
display is the built-in LCD for the notebook, so only 1 refresh rate is
listed. Everything else in XP, like the icons on the desktop, look correct.
The problem is limited to office applications internal icons. Internet
explorer's toolbar looks fine, for instance, but excel, outlook, visio, etc
all have the problem.
