Icons breaking up

Hi
I have windows 98 second edition and my start button icon, minimise, close X and full screen buttons all keep on breaking up - they start off normal and then gradually they all turn grey/white and look nothing like they should. Any ideas.
Thanks
Lindyloo

Since your icons start okay I would check for viruses and trojans than might have sneaked by your AV program. An online scan can be done here:

OR here:

On Line virus scan

OR:

Is your system infected by Trojans?
