Thanks for the advise. Clicking "show desktop" does refresh the desktop, but
the corruption is still present. I installed SP2 including the more recent
updates and the corruption is still there. Tried "show desktop" again
without success.

Are there any other suggestions from members?

The same thing was happening to me with other programs before I did the SP2
upgrade. Since then the quirk has disappeared. I found that the portion of
the desktop would be restored simply by clicking on "Show Desktop" in the
quick launch section next to the start button. If it is not displayed, click
on ">>" and your quick launch icons should appear.
