I started running World of Warcraft in windowed mode so I could alt-tab quicker and now the transparency of desktop icons no longer works. It is only for my user account, all others are unaffected. Every tweak guide I've looked at says it can be fixed by editing the performance options under system properties but this has not done anything for me. I disabled all the performance options and reenabled them but the problem persists.

Heres a screenshot of the affliction. Strangely the same day I posted this problem my friend says he is experiencing the same thing.

control panel ---> system ---> advanced ---> settings (under performance) ---> make sure "use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" is checked.


on edit: i see youve done this..

[Eps]

Yep

go to the appearance tab and then the advanced and you can change the color in there manually.

this happend to me when i disabled that WMF DLL when that exploit came out. i fixed it by re-registering the DLL

did you by any chance unregister that one dll?

[Eps]

Yes I did. I'll check that out and get back to ya.

[Eps]

I think I had already re-registered the .dll but I did it again anyway and restarted. Checked the performance options and restarted again. It still is not fixed =(

[Mr. Ali]

i know its ass but re-create your windows profile

[superman]

you could try just going to the appearance tab and then for color scheme picking windows standard or classic or whatever you prefer

I had tried that already to no avail. But since I goofed around with the .dll stuff I tried it again and it worked!

i knew it was that. i had the exact same problem. i mean, look at your HL2 wallpaper, it doesnt look quite right and it was the same with my wallpaper, it didnt look right until i registered that DLL again.

Yeah I never really look at my wallpaper but earlier today I did and noticed that the crowbar was all jaggy. I just thought I never realized how cummy of an image it was. Now its all smoothy.
