Desk Top Here Then Gone
Jul 25, 2008I have a new computer my son put togeather and every time it is turned on the windows background comes on,the icons apear for only a few seconds then disappear leaving only the windows background and no start menu. The computer will still work through the task manager feature (ctrl+alt+delete) and also starts fine in safe mode and appears to work fine. Could it be my video cards driver That might not be xp approved. It is a XFX nForce 680i motherboard & a EVGA 8800 gs video card. This problem has existed from the birth of this computer.

Nov 6, 2006I have a PC running win xp and it recently crashed and as a result I had to re-install windows and since then everything appear to be ok apart from the fact that the icons on the desktop are over laying one another. If I right click the desk top and select 'arrange icons by' it makes no difference whatever combination of setting I chose for the desk top settings.

Jun 30, 2008The icons on my desk top have recently been highlighted on the name portion of the icon before my desk top failed to load - I don't know if that means anything or not but thought I'd mention it. When I start my computer it begins the normal start up process and appears to be okay until it gets to the splash screen: Microsoft Windows xp Home Edition, that's as far as I can get, nothing on my desk top loads. I went into safe mode and ran a complete scan (Norton) for any viruses and there wasn't any detected. I did a registry repair too to no avail. Prior to this I tried a system restore to get rid of the highlighted icons on my desk top and for some reason and each time I tried it it said no changes had been made; I tried it again in safe mode and the same thing.
