For the past few days, sometimes, seemingly randomly icons are not loading. When I go back and then forward again into the finder window with the missing icons, then more of them load each time I do that...

Any ideas?

Does it still happen after a reboot? After relaunching the Finder (force quit the Finder)? After repairing permissions in Disk Utility?

Just to be safe, I hope you have a backup. If not, do it now, but hopefully the above ideas will fix it.

OK so I have repaired permissions, rebooted and I did get the problem again, however after repairing permissions and rebooting a second time all seems to be well for now...
