I'm grasping in the dark for clues here so bear with me.

I had my Desktop set up (icon placement) and it never seemed to change
over months and months...
Whether this is a feature OR just because nothing caused it to change
I'm not sure.

In any case a few weeks ago I did a Windows update.
And since then my desktop changes from time to time.

I did notice that the day I did the update, the my screen resolution
changed, and I had to go in and get it back to something I was comfortable
with.
Based on that and searching in the dark.... my thinking is that it
MIGHT of been something related to this.

""Intel Graphics media center
Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family ""

Not sure if this was around before the update or just got updated...

In any case this is my only clue as to what might have changed
and thus affected my desktop

Questions:
do I need this "Intel Graphics media center
Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family " ?

I'd like to try and uninstall it and see if that helps

Is there anything else you can think of that might have caused this ?
