I have xp sp2, and all the latest updates for DesktopX, ip etc.

Here's my problem: twice when I have used ip-builder and saved & loaded the new .ip package, not only were most of the system icons out of sync, but recently one particular icon will cover (hide) the actual loaded icons on the desktop. Now that is weird. The particular icon is not necessarily particular; it's just a random icon the system grabs to cover up the other icons. I can see the icons that are suppose to be there, because they are peaking out from the sides, of the icon that is covering them up.

Yes, I have refreshed the screen, rebooted etc. etc. No, it is not a virus. I am loaded to the brim with virus protection (run scans regularly), firewalls etc. etc.

If anyone can shed the light on this one, it would be great. I am wondering though if the "builder.icl" that is part of ip’s package builder is out of date. What I mean by that is that I have had so many updates with MS & have been running SP2, that maybe in those updates, the settings might have changed and the builder.icl is not compatible anymore? If that is possible.

I've had the icon over icon syndrome also (actually had as many as 5-6 in one spot) I kinda figured it was because I was running out of room on my desktop. I've had it happen with IP and with IconX separately.

I know, it's weird. If I use a package from the WinCustomize site they show up fine, BUT some of the system files are still mapping out of sync -- for i.e. I will map the correct corresponding icon for the floppy drive, but then it will show up in the C; drive as a "printer" icon. Go figure.

IP Builder does have some bugs. If anyone out there is using the latest "retail" version of IP, and utilizing IP Builder, please let me know if the program is working perfect for you. This way I will know if it is on my side.

Oh, regarding your desktop size -- it has nothing to do with it because I have a 22" monitor and I keep very few icons on the desktop.
