The last I heard, I was following a dialogue with some techs and they
were working on it. Who knows when that'll be fixed...it's definitely
still here in 1702.

Hell, I'm still losing time!

Excuse me if I am not up to speed on this "thread", but if I
understand the problem as vaguely mentioned here, when my icons get
scrambled around on my machine on rare occasions, I just simply open
TweakUI and select the REPAIR tab, then click on "Repair Icons", and
in real time, all of my icons look normal again.

My only conclusion as to how the icons end up looking like other
applications is that it seems to happen to me when I am on-line for an
extended period and/or I have many applications open and as a result I
start "pushing" towards the edge of my machine's available resources.
But this is only a guess based on experience. I have not run any
tests to prove my theory. And this is with 32MB of RAM. I would be
curious if anyone knows what may cause this to happen too.

OpenDOS will work on anything! Just feed it the disks. :-)

This bug has been there from the day one.
