Windows 7 - black squares, no icons

Hi all,
I've got a problem with black squares covering icons. If I make the icons larger they are OK but when set to "small", just a black square! I thought it may have been due to "ultimate tweaker for Windows 7" which I had installed and had used to get rid of shortcut arrows, but I've deleted that and the problem is still there. I've also deleted the hidden icon cache in user/app/local and rebooted...still no good. Any help welcome, txs

Hi lffoar,

Here's a whole thread about this issue, let me know if it helps at all: Black squares over desktop icons in Windows 7

Txs Walker for your reply,
Problem solved......but in a strange way!
I loaded UWT, (ultimate windows tweaker), and after hours of trying different things I found if I clicked on a few items then set each page to default again and rebooted all returned to normal.
Each page had to be done individually, ie set page 1 to default, reboot, set page 2 to default, reboot etc etc. Dunno how, why or what, but it worked!

Those programs simply make registry modifications, you setting them back to default fixed your problem.

No problem, lffoar! Glad you were able to fix the issue Please let us know if we can offer assistance in the future.
