Webuser Forums: Can't see desktop icons and it keeps refreshing

Hi - after i rebooted my computer (because the desktop went blank) on rebooting and loading the desktop only showed the background and nothing else - then the icons appear but then after about 8 or so seconds it seems to refresh and they disappear again it keeps doing it

- i did read a thread with similar problem so i thought i would send my log.

i also through task manager can run explorer.exe and it starts the process again but the icons still wont stay - can you help please?
