33479 2002-01-30 01:28:00 I am running Windows 95, Icons on my desktop keep moving around. When you select autoarrange the icons stay on the desktop but still keep rotating. Without autoarrange selected the icons just keep moving, rotating around the desktop. I have reloaded Windows 95, Used the repair option in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5.

I am not sure how this problem occurred (my son was playing a game I think) and he said that it occured after that.

I have also searched microsoft support database (FAQ) to no avail.

I have checked for viruses using Griftsoft software.

Any suggestions / help would be appreciated. many thanks

securityresponse.symantec.com

Grisoft's AVG *should* find it, so you may want to check that your virus definitions are up-to-date.
