XP Desktop not refreshing properly

[pradeep1]

Installed Windows XP SP3 fresh on an Acer laptop. Problem is that the desktop does not refresh properly. So if I save a file to the desktop, or delete a file, the change does not register until I hit a manual refresh with the F5 key. I researched this on the google, and did the "Max Cached Icons" registry entry fix. Tried a couple of other remedies from the Net, but nothing works. Any thoughts?

another SP3 bug perhaps? I know a fresh install and then SP3 killed Windows/Microsoft Update till I manually re-registered the core files.

How do you do that?

Both these tools and methods are for fixing the MS Update feature. I wonder how they will fix my problem. Well, I'll try it and let you guys know tomorrow.

Thanks,

I tried the methods tried above, but nothing works.

Any of you have any other thoughts?

been looking around noone else has similar issues, but there are other issues with SP3 being installed fresh, I'd keep looking and as a side note, what make and model of Monitor and video card do you have? what screen resolution, refresh rate and driver version?
