Since sometime yesterday morning, the avast tooltray icon on my system has been broken up and pixellated, both when stationary and rotating, and looks terrible. I’ve gotten the same thing playing with different screen resolutions, and even tried an avast repair – all the latter accomplished was to add the GUI shortcut-icon to my desktop (the original’s in a “system utilities” desktop folder).
Everything else onscreen looks fine, including other icons in the tooltray, and I can’t believe any kind of video problem would only affect such a tiny (and consistent) area – my monitor’s flatscreen, not CRT, by the way.
So I have to assume it’s somehow related to one of the updates yesterday. My program version’s in my sig, and current defs version is 110109-0.
Anyone else encountered this, and/or have any suggestions?
Thanks, Gargamel. I read through both of those threads, and tried both approaches. Used Intel’s handy (but slow) diagnosis tool, and found pretty much what I expected – no updates available for my antique (and discontinued) 82845G series video controller, though I did get a somewhat updated audio driver set.
Turned out 16/32 bit was the problem … I usually run True Color, but found I was currently set for High Color. Switching back made no immediate difference, but after rebooting it’s now fine again (that icon, that is). Funny it’s just that one icon that’s noticeably affected by the color depth.
