• The desktop icons are scattered after Windows updates

  I just applied the February patched to my laptop running vista Home premium. I now have a new icon on the bar called "intel graphics media accelerator driver for mobile' tasks and my desktop icons are scattered. What's past and how to fix it. I can't find mention of the graphics accelerator intel in the list of applied patches.

  Suggestions:

  1. go into "View Update history" > mark down the KB # of you February patch.
  2. If your Windows Update is set to Auto, change it to manual.
  3. do a system restore. Choose the date before you install the latest Windows Update as your restore point.
  4. If everything is back to normal after the system restore, ask a question in the Windows Update forum. Ask if this KB # is required to install or if you can ignore that.
  at the moment I am unable to go to the Windows Update forum. So I can't give you the link to the forum. You will have to do it yourself.
  5. soon you will receive the new update available. Check the update. If you find the same update you have problems with, don't install this one until you get the answers from experts in Windows Update.

  How to restore the system:
  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, click
  > Next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

• my desktop icons are of normal size, but the image that represents the shortcut that is MSNBC, is very low in the center of the icon

  I have to resize the icons, just the image in them... Thank you!!!

  You can have the Web site icon, but it will be not bigger: it is stuck at 16 by 16 pixels.  This is how the icons on Web pages are programmed.  It's not for lack of Microsoft: it's just the reality of the world.  If you forced the site of MSN icon to be large enough to match the size of the "large" view desktop icons, that's what it would look like:

  

  Of course they don't want people to complain about the ugly tense icon, and since Microsoft cannot replace the icon for each Web page in the world, they simply leave it at the default size so it looks nice.
  Given their big stretch would become extremely blurred, Windows leaves these icons low resolution to their normal size, centered insizing a box.
  >> If you only want it to be as big as XP, you can always do: just to right click on the desktop, select display, then Classic icons... Classic is the size THAT used XP.  Stretched above example is what it would be if you choose Medium or Large inside Windows Vista or 7, which is bigger than anything XP could ever show.
