    Hi everyone!

    Whenever I launch a program that takes over the entire screen, I have a problem with the icons on the desktop and the quick launch bar: the tooltips are ok, but the icons either are changed, deformed or disappear.

    I think the problem is tied to the graphics card, which is an Nvidia GeForce 7400 (I've an M1210), but not sure about it.

    I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions are similar experiences to post.

    Thanks in advance!

    I have an M1210 as well and after I run a program that uses the whole screen my icons become all pixely and distorted as well. I don't know what the problem is either. Maybe a video card problem? Makes sense. :/

    sounds like a possible driver issue to me, from the description it sounds like itsn not reverting back to the native res, how long has the problem been happening? first thing I would do is uninstall your video drivers, then download and run driver cleaner pro (can be found at majorgeeks.com) then I would download and install the latest Dell driver for the video card and go from there
