No. It's not the Rage 128 video card, but you should try to replace it with at minimum a Radeon 7000. Then enable Quartz Extreme with PCI Extreme 3.1 and you'll be golden. Video problems will be manifested as streaks, lines, or "artifacts". There are no video problems that remove individual icons or groups of icons from the desktop, folders, or dock. This is a system issue of some sort. Is the SMART status of the HD OK? The HD verifies OK with Disk Utility? I believe some B&W's had an ATA bus issue, you might look into that possibility? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
