Desktop Icons Disappear when I Click on them...

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Everybody-

I have installed windows xp many, many times.
I have owned many computers.
I maintain computers for a living.
I have never seen this problem on any other computer.
I have reinstalled my OS about 6 times now thinking I can figure out what is
causing the problem.

The problem is completely random, or so it seems.
It may happen 2 - 5 times in a row, then stop. Then not happen again for
hours.
Or it may continue happening for hours.

This is the problem.
When I click (left click) on a desktop icon, it will disappear for about a
second, then re-appear.
When that happens the last icon I clicked on, will also disapper with it.
It also seems that while in this state, all menus when I click them will
pause half way down, then resume.
This is all menus, OS and even some apps too.

This is driving me crazy.
This is also a new computer.

Athlon 64 X2 4600+
XFX GeForce 7600 GT PCIe
1 gig Corsair PC6400 DDR2 800Mhz dual

What else do you need to know?
Please let me know as I must solve this problem.
Thanks all-

Victor Lion
