Hi everyone:

I'm on a desktop PC with Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 and
I've got a perplexing "situation" (For lack of a better word).

Almost every time I exit an Explorer window or mainframe interface (NOT IE),
the whole desktop redraws itself. EVERY icon is redrawn when this happens.

When it happens, it takes up HUGE amounts of CPU until the desktop is
completely redrawn.

What can I do to solve this perplexing problem? What can I download and
install to fix it?

As it is now, it's annoying and have go so far as to download an alternative
to Explorer (But that ain't workin' out like I want it too either) just to
avoid both
it and explorer.exe crashes.

Any help in this area would be appreciated. :D

Cheers :D

This typically happens because of a memory allocation/re-allocation...
(from where I've seen it) and is usually happening when someone has a
huge .jpg or .bmp as their background and a video card that is good,
but not THAT good...

Try using a blank background and seeing if it continues... if it does,
then I'm wrong... if it doesn't, the tip jar is ready for a
deposit!!! :-) haha
