This article was previously published under Q132884

SYMPTOMS

When you are using a desktop theme in Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95, the desktop, taskbar, and Windows Explorer icons may appear distorted.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the "mono graphics acceleration" setting is used for the video driver. This setting prevents the video driver from displaying the icons correctly.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, follow these steps:
  1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click the System icon.
  3. On the Performance tab, click Graphics.
  4. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider all the way to the left.
  5. Click OK.
NOTE: If you re-install Windows 95, this setting is returned to its default value. You must follow these steps again after re-installing Windows 95.
