562756 2007-06-25 12:36:00 If you hold down the <Ctrl> key and roll your mouse wheel up or down on the desktop, does that fix it any? Otherwise check the settings in right-click Computer > "Advanced System Settings" > Performance "Settings" button and near the bottom is the option "Use drop shadows for icons on the desktop". sal (67)

If not, it could help a lot.
