    Desktop not Refreshing

    Anyone else get this? Running windows 7 x64. It's really freaking annoying to manually refresh my desktop every time I download a file to it, or drag something there in order to show up. There's a hotfix available for vista, but it said it couldn't install on 7.

    I also have to refresh when I delete icons/files off the desktop too. UGH!

    Doesn't seem normal. Run windows update and check to make sure they're all installed? (check optional updates as well)

    And obvious questions, have you rebooted your computer/updated your video drivers?

    Yea, I shut down my computer every night. And this issue is really random too, like right now it isn't doing it, but yesterday it was. Windows is all updated and I've got the latest catalyst from ati. It's bugging me that this happens on and off like this. :\
