Can't see anything on my desktop!
      #373080 - Thu Nov 22 2007 05:54 AM

i think i downloaded something wrong, then now, when i restart my computer, my desktop icons briefly appear, and then they disappear. now all i see, is my wallpaper.

can anyone help me? very urgent.

I'm currently scanning my computer using AVG, and it's hard to make a log of hijackthis, as my desktop disappears every 10+ seconds, and reappears for a short period only

thanks!

have you tried doing a system restore to a time before you "downloaded something wrong"

To start System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.

The first time you use System Restore, there are two options on the Welcome page:
• Restore my computer to an earlier time
• Create a restore point
2. Click Restore my computer to an earlier time and click Next.

A calendar appears.
3. In the calendar, choose which Restore Point to roll your system back to.(before your problems started)
4. Click Next.

You are prompted to close all applications before completing the Restore process because the computer will restart.
5. Upon completion of the restart, a confirmation screen appears. Click OK to continue using your computer.
