Icons screwed up

[lost-and-found]

I'm runnin 98se with 384MB PC133 RAM from PNY. Ok, here's my prob. it happens with each use of the PC. When I start up, it's good for some hour or so, it doesn't really matter in time period, sometimes it will do it after 5 minutes of being on, and sometimes it will happen after 2hrs. My icons are good in the beginning, but then, after that random time period, when I close an app, and go to the desktop, the icons refresh, and they become messed up. By messed up I'm saying the IE icon displays on the My computer icon, the icon for MS excell begins displaying on all JPG icons, etc. The files still work, but the icons are messed up, I can either restart the PC or log out and log back in and they work good again for some time until it happens again at a random time.

Any ideas what is the matter?

Common problem with Win98... do you have TweakUI installed? If not, try installing TweakUI which has a, "Repair Icons Now" function.
