Im on the internet and all of a sudden the text starts to disappear and then everything on the toolbar starts to disappear then the Icons on my desktop disappear. I noticed that some of the icon names turn black.
It has happened to me twice
Now when I reboot my computer I notice that one of the icon names is black and then it goes back to normal
Any suggestions
