It has been a very very good experience!!!! It has not even crashed. . . . until the latest web upgrade. What is up with that? Once in awhile when I close my web browser I get the blue screen of death and it reboots.

System Icons

Whenever I restart my system the icons are never being the same before. Sometimes all the icons in the desktop looks like Adobe sometimes like winzip. I use Tweakui to repair the icons. I would like to know the real reason behind this problem.
